Bridgestone Multimedia Group (hereafter BMG) has instituted this privacy policy to ensure your personally identifiable information (hereafter PII) is maintained in a safe, secure, and responsible manner. The following describes how and what we collect, and how we use and share your PII we obtain from and about individuals who use our site, affiliated sites, and our materials. This policy does not apply to information we may collect from you outside our site, such as over the phone, by fax, or through conventional mail. If you have any questions regarding this privacy policy, please contact Bridgestone Multimedia Group, Attn: Legal Department, 300 North McKemy Ave., Chandler, AZ 85226.

Third Party Websites
Please note that this privacy policy applies only to our website and not necessarily to the websites of partners, affiliates, or third parties. Our website may be linked to other websites operated by third parties. Some of these third party sites may be co-branded and carry our name and logo, along with the name of the third party, even though the site is not owned or operated by us. In addition, our website may carry advertisements from other companies. You may be required to accept additional policies prior to your use of links accessed through our websites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies of third party web sites.

What Information We Collect
We collect PII about you to improve the content of our websites and our products and services for marketing and promotional purposes or for other commercial purposes. When we collect PII from you, you have voluntarily submitted the information to us through your subscription to our service in response to surveys or in response to other requests for information. We only collect PII from you that you provide voluntarily. Furthermore, we collect only the PII that is reasonably necessary for you to participate fully in our services.

The types of information you may be asked to provide, depending on what services you would like to receive, include: first and last name, billing address, the services you request, and an email address where we can contact you. From time to time, we may also obtain PII from third parties.

Cookies
Our website uses cookies to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file placed on your hard disk by a webpage server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.

Each time you visit our website, we log non-personal information. Such information includes your IP address, domain name, the name of the webpage where you entered our website, which pages you visit on our website, and how much time you spend on each page. We use this information to monitor and improve our website and for internal analysis. In particular, we use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the website, and gather information for aggregate use. However, IP addresses are not linked to personal information.

We make limited use of cookie technology. We use temporary cookies to manage security during your online sessions, and we use only random identifiers. Collected information may be gathered when you subscribe to our services or when you respond to surveys or to other requests for information.
You can program your computer to warn you each time a cookie is being sent or to refuse cookies. However, without cookies you will not have access to certain features on our website. Also, as noted above, we cannot dictate how our affiliates, partners, or third party sites use cookies.

How We Use Your PII
We may use PII provided by you to contact you about quality control procedures. To the extent that third party vendors assist us in the provision of online products or services, those vendors are provided the minimum amount of data required to perform the tasks for which they have been engaged. They have no independent rights to such data and have agreed to adhere to our privacy policy.

If you have given us permission to do so, we may share your PII with companies affiliated with us. With your permission, we may also share your PII with advertisers and business partners who are not affiliated with us, but who would like to send you information on their products and services. You can request that your PII not be shared with independent third parties by making a request in writing (not an email).

Our employees, agents, and contractors must have a legitimate business reason to obtain access to your PII. We may share your PII with third parties who assist us in managing certain activities such as order fulfillment, statistical analysis, or sweepstakes administration. These parties may only use your PII for a specific service and not for any other purpose.

We may disclose PII if required to do so by law or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law or with a legal process, (b) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our website, or (c) protect the personal safety or property of our website users, the public, or our employees.

Security
We have in place reasonable, physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the PII we collect online.

Children
We take all steps necessary to protect children and to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). BMG urges parents and guardians to discuss with their children restrictions regarding online release of PII to anyone they do not know and to monitor their children's Internet activities. By agreeing to the terms of this privacy policy and the terms of use, you are affirming that you have advised your children accordingly and actively monitor your children's Internet activities.

Parents or guardians have the right to review the PII collected and to request that their child's PII be revised or deleted by making a request in writing. If we discover we have collected any personally-identifying information from a child under the age of 13, we will remove that information from our database as soon as possible.

Access and Corrections to PII; Opting out of Further Communications
Please use the contact information provided to a) correct or update any PII in our database you state is erroneous, b) opt-out of future communications from us, or c) request us to make reasonable efforts to remove your personal information from our online database. You understand that it may be impossible to delete personal information entirely because of backups and records of deletions.

You may access or correct your PII or opt out of further communications by writing to: Bridgestone Multimedia Group, Attn. Legal Department, 300 North McKemy Ave., Chandler, AZ 85226.

Changes in Corporate Structure
If all or part of BMG or any of its affiliates are sold, merged, or otherwise transferred to another entity, the personal information you have provided at these sites may be transferred as part of that transaction process. However, we will take steps to ensure that any personal information is used in a manner consistent with this privacy policy under which it was collected.

Changes to the Privacy Policy
We will occasionally amend this privacy policy to reflect company and customer feedback. We reserve the right to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this policy at any time. In the event that we change our policy, all changes will be posted in this privacy policy. Please revisit this site periodically to view the current version of this privacy policy.
