E-mail Newsletter Subscriptions To subscribe to our e-mail newsletters, you will need to provide your e-mail address. You may also be asked for other information when you subscribe User Accounts In order to use our chat rooms, message boards, and certain other Services, you will need to register and create a user account ("User Account"). There is no cost to create a User Account in most cases. You may be asked to choose a user name, screen name, or member name (each, a "User Name") and password. Please do not use your real name or the real name of another person when selecting a User Name. You will also be asked to provide certain personal information about yourself, such as your first and last name, date of birth, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. Please note that your User Name will be available to the Internet's general public while you participate in some Services, like chat rooms or message boards, so you should exercise discretion when using these Services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information you may disclose publicly in such Services. In some instances, you may choose to create a "Public Profile" that will be available to others on the Internet. Public Profiles are managed entirely by you, and you are solely responsible for your Public Profile's content and its "public" or "private" status. Special Promotions and Purchases To participate in some Services such as competitions, contests and surveys ("Special Promotions"), or to make online purchases ("Purchases"), you will need to provide personal information, such as name, mailing address, e-mail address, phone number, and date of birth. Your personal information may be collected by SPR or shared with a third party, such as a co-sponsor or a vendor involved in, or providing services in connection with, a Special Promotion, or an e-commerce partner in the case of a Purchase. If you make a Purchase or enter a competition or other Special Promotion on one of our sites or through our Services, SPR will collect your personal information, and you are deemed to consent to us providing your personal information to third parties who provide certain services such as processing of credit card transactions, customer service, promotion or competition administration, order fulfilment and/or prize delivery, as applicable. As more fully described below in Use, Disclosure, and Sharing of Information - Personal Information, these third parties are prohibited from using this information for their own marketing purposes and/or from sharing, selling, or otherwise distributing any personal data of our customers, unless you choose to opt in to for such additional uses and/or disclosure by the third parties, under their respective privacy policies. If you make a purchase or enter a promotion (such as a competition) in which SPR is participating on a third party's website (or through some other means or medium), we will collect your information from the third party only if you opt-in to receive additional communications from us, or we are required to fulfil some function in relation to your activity (e.g., to send your order or deliver a prize). Information Collected by Other Means or Media In some situations, we may also collect personal information about you through other means, directly or indirectly. For example, if you access any SPR content, or purchase such content via your wireless carrier or through another third party, SPR may collect information directly from you or through the third party. Likewise, if you use our software, or provide information to other companies who share information about their customers, we may collect additional information about you. In each of these cases, SPR will apply this policy to any personal information. Information About Other People Some SPR sites and Services may ask you to submit personal information about other people. For example, you might submit a person's name and other personal information if you purchase a gift and want to have it sent directly to the recipient. A record of that transaction will be maintained as allowed or required by law. Customer Service Some Services may offer support and technical assistance through customer service centres via telephone, online chat, or e-mail. Whenever you communicate with customer service, you do so with the understanding that an operator may view and make changes to the information in your User Account in order to provide the assistance that you need. Non-Personally Identifiable Information That We Collect As part of the registration process for some Services, you may be asked to provide information that does not personally identify you. For example, you may be asked to provide information concerning your film, music or other entertainment preferences, purchasing habits, and the like. This information is generally optional but may be included in your User Account profile. SPR requests this information to understand you better and to also bring to your attention new services, programs, or offers that may be of interest to you. In many cases, SPR will automatically collect certain non-personal information about your use of its sites and Services. SPR might collect, among other things, information concerning the type of Internet browser or computer operating system you are using, the domain name of your Internet service provider, your "click path" through the SPR sites or "click-through" from an e-mail, the website or advertisement that was linked to or from the SPR site when you visited, and your IP address. To do this, SPR may use cookies and other technology (see below). If you are using our wireless Services, we may also automatically collect information such as the type of wireless device you are using, your mobile identification number (assigned by your telecommunications carrier) and telecommunications carrier. Your use of our websites and Services, and information provided through these technologies, will be anonymous. Cookies and Related Technology SPR websites, and some Services and advertisements may contain "cookies," clear gifs (also known as web beacons or web bugs), or similar technology. A cookie is a piece of data that is sent to your Internet browser, which will store the cookie on your computer if your browser is enabled to accept cookies. Web beacons assist in the delivery of cookies and the collection of information which is not personal information, such as "click path" and other data as described above. SPR uses cookies, clear gifs, frames, server log analysis and other technologies as they are developed to customise your experience with our sites and Services. Most Internet browsers will allow you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block acceptance of cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. You should refer to your browser instructions or "Help" screen to learn more about how to manage cookies. Please note, however, that if you block cookies, some portions of the SPR websites and Services may not function properly. SPR does not control cookies in third party ads, and visitors are encouraged to check the privacy policies of advertisers and/or ad services to learn about their use of cookies and other technology. The ads appearing on our websites may be delivered to you by third-party advertising companies. SPR's Privacy Policy does not cover the use of information collected from you by third party ad servers. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, e-mail address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements on this site and other sites about goods and services that may be of interest to you.

Special Notice Regarding Children Under 13 SPR recognises the sensitivity of personal information concerning children under the age of 13 and therefore provides this special notice. Except in limited circumstances, SPR will not knowingly collect, maintain, or disclose any personal information from a child under 13 without first obtaining consent from that child's parent or legal guardian. If you are the parent or guardian of a child under 13, and your child would like to participate in certain Services that SPR has chosen to make available to children in this age group, your child will be prompted to print out a form for you to complete and mail in to SPR. The form will list the information required from both parent/guardian and child, as well as the intended uses of the information. SPR will only collect information that is reasonably necessary for your child to participate, and SPR will not share your child's personal information with any third party (except for purposes of fulfillment by a third party that has agreed to protect the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy), unless you specifically consent, or as permitted by other applicable law. You may also subsequently revoke your consent and request that your child's information be removed from SPR's active list. Please refer to the form for instructions and further information. If you are a parent or guardian who has discovered that your child under the age of 13 has submitted his or her personal information without your permission or consent, SPR will make reasonable efforts to remove the information from its active list, at your request. To request the removal of your child's information, please send an e-mail to contactus_australia@spe.sony.com and be sure to include in your message the same User Name and password and/or e-mail address that your child submitted. SPR encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with their children to become familiar with the types of content available on the SPR websites and the Internet generally. Use, Disclosure, and Sharing of Information Non-Personally Identifiable Information From time to time, SPR may use and share with third parties aggregate, non-personal user information to show general demographic and preference information among users of the SPR websites. Personally Identifiable Information SPR uses information about you to deliver the Services that you request, to keep you informed about changes affecting our Services or your account, to inform you of other Services or offers in which you might be interested, and to improve and enhance our sites and Services. If you provide SPR with personal information, we will take all reasonable and appropriate steps to protect it from unauthorised disclosure. If you opt in to receive electronic messages from us, you can always opt out of future marketing messages by following the directions in each message to "unsubscribe." However, if you choose to opt out of marketing messages, we reserve the right to contact you regarding your account status, technical support, product information, changes to account terms, and any other matter that might affect our service to you and/or any products you purchased from us or registered with us, as applicable. As stated in the Terms of Service, you will be deemed to have consented to the disclosure to, and use by, a subsequent owner or operator of a SPR website or Service, of any information about you contained in the applicable SPR database, if SPR or one of its companies assigns its rights and obligations regarding any of your information at the time of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of SPR's or such SPR company's assets related to the applicable site or Service to a subsequent owner or operator. In the event of such a merger, acquisition, or sale, your continued use of the site or any related Service signifies your agreement to be bound by the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy of the site's or Service's subsequent owner or operator. The SPR companies may work together and share and use your personal information in order to provide portions of the SPR sites and some Services (e.g., to fulfill prizes won in a competition, or to provide other support for a Service). These companies will handle your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. As stated above in Personal Information That We Collect - Special Promotions and Purchases, SPR may also work with third parties to provide some Services on our sites. In connection with those Services, you are deemed to consent to us sharing your information with third parties who provide services such as processing of credit card transactions, customer service, promotion administration, order fulfilment and/or prize delivery, as applicable. Third parties who provide, or participate in, Services on SPR sites are prohibited from using our customers' personal information for marketing purposes and/or from sharing, selling, or otherwise using such information, unless you choose to opt in to marketing, sharing, or other uses by the third parties. . If you do not want your information to be used for marketing (or other purposes unrelated to the provision of SPR Services) by a third party who participates in a Service on one of our sites, do not opt in to such use by that third party when you register to participate in the Service. Please note that whenever you opt in to receive future communications from a third party, your information will be subject to the third party's privacy policy. If you later decide that you do not want that third party to use your information, you will need to contact the third party directly, as we have no control over how third parties use information. You should always review the privacy policy of any party that collects your information to determine how that entity will handle your information. Where you consent to any collection, use or sharing of your personal information under this Privacy Policy, whether by SPR or a third party, you also consent to receiving electronic messages from SPR (including any SPR company) or the third party, as applicable. SPR will not share, sell, rent, or disclose any personal information that we have collected except as stated in this Privacy Policy, or in the following instances: 1) we have previously informed you of the disclosure, including by means of our Privacy Policy or on the website, or through the Service where you provided your information and you have given your consent to disclose; 2) we are required by law, legal process, or court order to disclose; 3) disclosure is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may cause or be causing harm to, or interference with, SPR's rights or property, other SPR website users, or anyone else; or 4) to respond to an inquiry, request or complaint that you have made. SPR may also use IP addresses in cooperation with Internet service providers to identify users if we deem it necessary to comply with law, to enforce compliance with this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Service, or to protect our sites, customers, or others. Our Commitment to Data Security While SPR takes reasonable and appropriate precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorised disclosure and to prevent possible security breaches in our websites, Services, and customer databases, no website, Internet transmission, computer system, or wireless connection is completely secure. Consequently, SPR cannot guarantee that unauthorised access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur. Your use of the SPR sites and Services is at your own risk. SPR urges you to take steps to keep your information safe by memorising your password or keeping it in a safe place (separate from your account information), logging out of your User Account, and closing your web browser. Whenever you give SPR sensitive or confidential information (for example, credit card numbers for Purchases), SPR will take commercially reasonable steps to protect the information by establishing a secure connection with your web browser. SPR employs a security technology known as a secure-socket-layer to protect the transmission of payment information to the site. Unless otherwise specified herein or on the site where you make a Purchase, credit card numbers are used only for payment processing and are not retained for marketing purposes. Hyperlinks To and From Other Sites SPR sites may frame, and/or contain links to, or advertisements about, non-SPR websites. Other sites may also reference, advertise, or link to SPR sites. SPR does not endorse or sponsor other websites, is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of non-SPR sites, expressly disclaims any statements or assertions made on such websites, and denies all liability associated with your use of, and the content on, such other sites and advertisements.
