Screen Media, Inc. Privacy Policy

Effective May 1, 2010

Our Commitment to You
Welcome to the Internet sites and services part of Screen Media, Inc. Screen Media, Inc. (together with its other business units including but not limited to Screen Spotlight and Film and Politics, "we" or "us") provides an online community for movie fans made available through www.screenmediainc.com, www.screenspotlight.com, www.filmandpolitics.com. and any other websites owned, operated or controlled by us, our social media networking web pages and mobile applications (Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace) where users can setup a profile with all of their movie ratings, favorites, lists and more, connect their profile with friends and meet new people with similar taste. We take your privacy very seriously. To make it easier for you to read and understand our Privacy Policy, we did the unconventional thing - we wrote this in plain English and tried to keep it to a reasonably length. This Privacy Policy applies only to information that users provide to us through the Services.

Here are our privacy principles:

• Providing information to us is your choice.
• You always have the ability to opt-out of receiving communications from us.

As used in this policy, the terms "using" and "processing" information include using cookies on a computer, subjecting the information to statistical or other analysis and using or touching information in any way, including collecting, storing, disclosing and transferring information within the United States or internationally.

Information Collection and Use
Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our Services, features and content, to administer your membership and to enable you to enjoy and easily navigate the Site.

Log Data
As you use the Services, whether as a member or a non-registered user just browsing (any of these, a " Screen Media, Inc."), our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website ("Log Data"). Log Data may include, but is not limited to, your computer's Internet Protocol address, browser type, the web page you were visiting before you came to the Site and information you search for on a Site. We use this information to monitor and analyze use of the Services and for the Site's technical administration, to increase our Site's functionality and user-friendliness, and to better tailor it to our visitors' needs. For example, some of this information is collected so that when you use the Services again, we will recognize and remember you and serve advertisements and other information appropriate to your interests.

Information Sharing and Disclosure Members
We will display your Personal Information in your profile page and elsewhere through the Services according to the preferences you set in your account. Any information you choose to provide should reflect how much you want other Screen Media, Inc. users to know about you. We recommend that you guard your anonymity and sensitive information and we encourage members to think carefully about what information about themselves they disclose in their profile pages. You can review and revise your profile information at any time.

Aggregate Information and Non-Identifying Information
We may share aggregated information that includes your Personal Information, Non-Identifying Information and Log Data with third parties for industry analysis and demographic profiling and to deliver targeted advertising about other products and services.

Third Party Social Networking Services
You may have the opportunity to access or interact with the Services via other social networking websites and services ("SNSs") like Facebook and MySpace. Consequently, your Personal Information may be shared with those SNSs and they may share data with us. To learn more specifically about the Facebook Instant Personalization partnership and how you can choose your settings for that program - click here. In the event that you choose to provide your information directly to a third party SNSs, your information will be governed by the policies of those other SNSs. We don't exercise control over third party SNSs. These other services may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, solicit Personal Information from you and follow different rules regarding the use of the information you submit to them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit.

Email Policies
We use your Personal Information to send you weekly updates on various Site information (including new movies or press releases), a variety of transactional emails (such as when users post comments to your profile page) and the occasional site announcement. Members who agree to the terms and conditions of the Screen Media, Inc. Terms of Service Agreement are given the opportunity to opt in to receiving such communications from us in the future. You have full control regarding which of these emails you want to receive..

Inviting Friends to Screen Media, Inc.
Screen Media, Inc. and Screen Spotlight are intended to be a place to share movie ratings, reviews and more with friends. We hope you will like the Services and invite others to join you!
Inviting friends to our sites is always completely optional. When you choose to invite friends, we will send an email to the addresses you enter indicating that it is a message from you. We will share your name and email address with anyone you invite so that they know you suggested that we send the invitation. If a friend doesn't respond to the initial invitation after a little while, we will send a single reminder message on your behalf.

Changing or Deleting Your Information
All members may review, update, correct or delete the Personal Information in their profile by simply clicking "My Account" at the top right corner of any page. If you completely delete all such information, then your account may become deactivated. If you would like us to delete your record in our system, please contact us and we will attempt to accommodate your request if we do not have any legal obligation to retain the record. See below for privacy contact information.

Links to Other Sites
Our Site contains links to other websites. If you choose to visit an advertiser by "clicking on" a banner ad or other type of advertisement, or click on another third party link, you will be directed to that third party's website. The fact that we link to a website is not an endorsement or representation of our affiliation with that website. This also doesn't mean that we endorse that website's privacy or information security policies or practices. We don't exercise control over third party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit Personal Information from you. Other sites follow different rules regarding the use of the information you submit to them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit.

Security
The security of your Personal Information, among other things, depends on your protection of your account password. Please don't disclose your account password to anyone. We use industry standard technology designed to help keep your Personal Information safe. Your information may be transferred to - and maintained on - computers located outside of your state or country where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those where you live.

Changes in Privacy Policy
From time to time we may update this Privacy Policy. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Site. Your continued usage of Screen Media, Inc. and its additional sites constitutes an acceptance of the then-current Privacy Policy and Terms of Service so we encourage you to visit this page periodically to review any changes.
