In order to do so, we may collect and use your personal information in the following ways:

Protecting Our Rights
In general, we collect, store and use your information to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient and customized experience on the Website.

We may occasionally conduct competitions, sweepstakes and other promotions either ourselves or via third parties. If you choose to enter, we may ask you for your contact details such as your name, email address, postal address and telephone number for the purpose of conducting these promotions.

Please be aware that our competitions may be governed by additional terms of use posted on the site they are accessed from, and may also be governed by the terms of use, privacy policies and other guidelines of third parties (in the case of our competitions that are available on third party platforms such as social media sites like Facebook.)

Message Boards, Chat Rooms, Blogs and Other User Forum
Personal information posted to message boards, chat rooms, blogs and other user forums becomes public information. Please use caution when using these features of our Website. Please see our Terms of Use for the standards of behavior that must be followed when using these sections of the Website.

The contents of any such online communications may be accessed and disclosed (i) in response to a legal requirement such as a court order, (ii) when we are required to disclose the information in response to such a legal requirement, (iii) where we have a good faith belief that the Website is being use in the commission of a crime, (iv) where we have a good faith belief that there is an emergency which poses a threat to the safety of you or another person, and (v) when necessary either to protect our rights (including to enforce our terms of service) or for us to provide the service you have requested.

Other Website Features
We offer Website visitors various features for their enjoyment, which we may change from time to time. We may ask you to submit certain personal information so we can provide you with these features. Where this is the case we will provide more detailed information about what information you need to provide and will explain how we will use it.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
We encourage parents and guardians to spend time with their children online and to be fully familiar with the sites visited by their children. At various places on the Website or when providing other services, we may ask users for their age. By using the Website or our services you agree to respond truthfully and accurately about your age. We do not knowingly collect or store any personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are between the ages of 13 and 18, please be sure to read this Privacy Policy with your parent or guardian and obtain his or her permission before you submit or post any personal information, and before you use any features of this Website.

Usernames & Passwords
It is important that you protect and maintain the security of your account and that you notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. Do not disclose your password to anyone else.

Social media plug-ins
Social media plug-ins of social networks such as Facebook and Twitter (amongst others) are integrated on our Website. Where our sites contain a plug-in to a social network, these are clearly marked. If you choose to click on one of these buttons or links, your browser connects directly to the servers of the relevant social network. The social network directly transmits the content of the plugin to your browser. If you are registered on the relevant social network and logged into your respective account the social network receives the information that the web page was used by you. If you interact with a social network plug-in (e.g. you press the Facebook “Like” feature, the Twitter “Tweet this” feature or equivalent) or drop a comment on the appropriate web page, the corresponding information is directly transmitted to the relevant social network from your browser. If you are not registered with the social network or you are logged out before your visit our Website, there is the possibility that at least your IP address will be submitted to and stored by the social network. If you interact with us through a social media platform, plug-in etc. then you may be permitting us to have on-going access to some limited information from your social network profile (such as name, email address, photo, gender location, the people/sites you follow, etc.)

If you don’t want the social network to collect the information about you described above, or share it with us and other third parties, please review the privacy policy of the relevant social network and/or log out of the relevant social network before you visit our Website. As with other sites, you may be able to delete any existing cookies placed on your computer by the social network via your browser.

Information We Collect Automatically
Like many companies, we use “cookies” or other similar technology on the Website. Cookies are bits of text that are placed on your computer’s hard drive when you visit certain websites. We use cookies to tell us, for example, whether you have visited the Website before or if you are a new visitor and to help us identify Website features in which you may have the greater interest. Cookies may enhance your online experience, for example, by remembering your passwords and viewing preferences, while you are visiting a particular page on this site.

When you visit this site, we automatically collect certain personal information that we then aggregate so that it is not linked to a single, identifiable individual. This information provides us with statistics such as how many users visit the Website and which pages were accessed. By collecting this information, we learn how to best tailor this site to our visitors. We may also enter into arrangements with outside companies that possess technology that allows us to customize the advertising and marketing messages you receive on this Website.

  1. Where Your Personal Information Will Be Used
    This Website is operated from the United States.
     
  2. How We Share Personal Information
    We may share your personal information with affiliates of Joshua Sherman Productions but only for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.

    We may also share your personal information with service providers we have retained to perform certain business-related functions on our behalf, such as hosting websites, maintaining databases, administering contests, providing technology services, and processing payments. These parties are provided only with the personal information they need to perform their functions and can only use and disclose such personal information as is necessary to perform the services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. We have taken steps to ensure that any such third party service providers will take appropriate steps to protect your personal information as we would.

    In addition, we may disclose your personal information to our affiliates and third parties (including amongst others, law enforcement agencies, government/regulatory bodies, content protection organizations) to (1) protect our legal rights, privacy or safety, and those of our affiliates, employees, agents and contractors; (2) protect the safety and security of visitors to our website or other properties; (3) protect against fraud or other illegal activity or for risk management purposes; respond to inquiries or requests from government, regulatory, law enforcement or public authorities; (5) permit us to pursue available remedies, commence, participate in, or defend litigation, or limit the damages that we may sustain; (6) comply with subpoenas, search warrants, the law or other legal process; or (7) enforce our Terms of Use.

    We reserve the right to transfer your personal information in the event we sell or transfer all or a part of our business or assets. If you do not want your personal information to be processed following such a transfer, you should contact the subsequent owner of the business.
     
  3. Links to Other Sites

    The Website may provide links to other websites for your convenience and information. These websites may operate independently from this Website. Linked sites may have their own privacy notices and terms of use in place, which we strongly suggest you review if you visit any linked sites. To the extent any linked websites you visit are unrelated to Joshua Sherman Productions, we are not responsible for their content, maintenance or availability. Like many other websites, we provide other websites with and allow users to “snag” or place our RSS fees, video players and other applications on websites we do not control. This Privacy Policy applies to any information we collect when you use our RSS feeds, video players and other applications, but does not apply to information separately collected by the operators of those websites or other third parties that may provide content or services to those websites.
     
  4. How We Protect Personal Information

    We maintain safeguards for this Website to help protect against loss, misuse or unauthorized access, disclosure, alterations or destructions of the personal information you provide on this Website. Unfortunately, no transmission of data over the internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third parties not under our control to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. Therefore, any transmission of personal information to us is made at your own risk. If you believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please notify us using the contact details below.
     
  5. Your Rights.
    We provide Website visitors with access to personal information they provide through this Website and the ability to review, update and correct it as and when necessary. Such requests may be subject to a small fee. To help protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identify, such as requiring a password and user ID and possibly photo ID before granting access to your personal information.

    If you have previously provided personal information to this Website to subscribe to one or more email newsletters or are receiving emails or other communications from this Website and you do not want to receive such emails, please discontinue your subscriptions by selecting the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any message or the other means provided to unsubscribe on the Website.

    If you prefer that we do not use the personal information you have provided to us or we have collected via your use of this Website, you may send us a request using the contact information details below and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to honor that request. However, we will retain records of your information as needed in order to comply with applicable laws/regulations and if you provide us with any personal information after such request we may use that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

    If you would like to make such a request, update your marketing preferences (including requesting being removed from our marketing list) or if you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at privacy@joshuashermanpresents.com.
     
  6. Applicable Law

    This Website is not intended to subject us to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country or territory other than that of the United States. Please note that we do not represent or warrant that this Website is appropriate for use in any particular jurisdiction. Those who choose to access this Website do so at their own initiative and are responsible for complying with all local laws, rules and regulations.
     
  7. Updates to our Privacy Notice
    From time to time, we may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect industry initiatives, changes in the law or technology, or changes in our practices regarding information collection and use. If we make material revisions to the way we collect or use your personal information such that we are using it for purposes or sharing such data with third parties that you have not consented to, we will provide you with notice of those changes and may do so either by: (1) announcing the change on the home page of this Website or (2) taking such other action as we deem appropriate under the circumstances, including without limitation, posting the revised draft of this Privacy Policy on this Website.
