PRIVACY POLICY
Effective July 7, 2015
INTRODUCTION
Studio Mao LLC (“SM Enterprise” or “we”), which includes Studio Mao Pictures, Studio Mao Music and Studio Mao Distribution, wants you to be familiar with how we collect, use and disclose information from and about you. This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with information collected through services such as websites, mobile sites, applications (“apps”), and widgets (collectively, the “SM Enterprise Services”). By using SM Enterprise Services, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.
As set forth in our Terms of Use, the SM Enterprise Services are for a general audience, are not targeted to children, and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age.
This Privacy Policy applies to all users, including both those who use the SM Enterprise Services without being registered with or subscribing to a SM Enterprise Service and those who have registered with [or subscribed to] a SM Enterprise Service. This Privacy Policy applies to SM Enterprise’s collection and use of your personal information (i.e., information that identifies a specific person, such as full name or email address). It also describes generally SM Enterprise’s practices for handling non-personal information (for example, interests, demographics and services usage).
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
SM Enterprise and our service providers collect the following information from and about you:
Registration Information is the information you submit to register for a SM Enterprise Service, for example, to create an account, post comments, receive a newsletter, or enter a contest or sweepstakes. Registration Information may include, for example, name, email address, gender, zip code and birthday.
Public Information and Posts consist of comments or content that you post to the SM Enterprise Services and the information about you that accompanies those posts or content, which may include a name, user name, comments, likes, status, profile information and picture. Public Information and Posts are always public, which means they are available to everyone and may be displayed in search results on external search engines.
Information from Social Media. If you access or log-in to a SM Enterprise Service through a social media service or connect a SM Enterprise Service to a social media service, the information we collect may also include your user ID and/or user name associated with that social media service, any information or content you have permitted the social media service to share with us, such as your profile picture, email address or friends lists, and any information you have made public in connection with that social media service. When you access the SM Enterprise Services through social media services or when you connect a SM Enterprise Service to social media services, you are authorizing SM Enterprise to collect, store, and use such information and content in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Activity Information. When you access and interact with the SM Enterprise Services, Company and its service providers may collect certain information about those visits. For example, in order to permit your connection to the SM Enterprise Services, our servers receive and record information about your computer, device, and browser, including potentially your IP address, browser type, and other software or hardware information. If you access the SM Enterprise Services from a mobile or other device, we may collect a unique device identifier assigned to that device, geolocation data (including your precise location), or other transactional information for that device.
Cookies and other Tracking Technologies (such as browser cookies, pixels, beacons, and Adobe Flash technology including cookies) are comprised of small bits of data that often include a de-identified or anonymous unique identifier. SM Enterprise’s websites, apps and other services send this data to your browser when you first request a web page and then store the data on your computer or other device so the website or app can access information when you make subsequent requests for pages from that service. These technologies may also be used to collect and store information about your usage of the SM Enterprise Services, such as pages you have visited, the video and other content you have viewed, search queries you have run and advertisements you have seen.
Third parties that support the SM Enterprise Services by serving advertisements or providing services, such as allowing you to share content (e.g. Facebook) or tracking aggregate SM Enterprise Services usage statistics (e.g. Google Analytics), may also use these technologies to collect similar information when you use the SM Enterprise Services or third-party services. SM Enterprise does not control these third-party technologies and their use is governed by the privacy policies of third parties using such technologies. To opt-out of Google Analytics specifically, go to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
USE AND DISCLOSURE
We use the information we collect from and about you to provide the SM Enterprise Services and features to you, including: to measure and improve those SM Enterprise Services and features; to improve your experience with both online and off-line SM Enterprise Services by delivering content you will find relevant and interesting, including advertising and marketing messages; to allow you to comment on content, and participate in online games, contests, or rewards programs; to provide you with customer support and to respond to inquiries. In order to provide you with content and advertising that is more interesting and relevant to you, we may use the information from and about you to make inferences and predictions about your potential areas of interest. When the information collected from or about you does not identify you as a specific person, we may use that information for any purpose or share it with third parties.
We use the information we collect from and about you for these additional purposes:
To allow service providers to assist us in providing and managing the SM Enterprise Services. The information we collect from and about you may be made available to certain third party service providers, such as contractors, analytics and other measurement companies, agents or sponsors, who help us analyze and understand your use of the SM Enterprise Services, and manage and/or provide the SM Enterprise Services.
To allow social sharing functionality. If you log in with or connect a social media service account with SM Enterprise Services, we may share your user name, picture, and likes, as well as your activities and comments with other SM Enterprise Services users and with your friends associated with your social media service. We may also share the same information with the social media service provider. By logging in with or connecting your SM Enterprise Services account with a social media service, you are authorizing us to share information we collect from and about you with the social media service provider, other users and your friends and you understand that the social media service’s use of the shared information will be governed by the social media service’s privacy policy. If you do not want your personal information shared in this way, please do not connect your social media service account with your SM Enterprise Services account and do not participate in social sharing on SM Enterprise Services.
To deliver relevant advertisements. SM Enterprise and our service providers may use the information we collect from and about you to deliver relevant ads to you when you use the SM Enterprise Services or another service. As noted above, third-party advertising networks and advertisers may use cookies and similar technologies to collect and track information such as demographic information, inferred interests, aggregated information, and activity to assist them in delivering advertising that is more relevant to your interests.
To contact you. SM Enterprise may periodically send promotional materials or notifications related to the SM Enterprise Services. If you want to stop receiving promotional materials, follow the unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email. There are certain service notification emails that you may not opt-out of, such as notifications of changes to the SM Enterprise Services or policies. If you have installed a mobile app and you wish to stop receiving push notifications, you can change the settings either on your mobile device or through the app.
To share with our Company Affiliates. SM Enterprise may share your information with SM Enterprise Affiliates for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. A link to a website that lists SM Enterprise Affiliates can be found at the beginning of this policy. Users who visit SM Enterprise Affiliates’ services should still refer to their separate privacy policies, which may differ in some respects from this Privacy Policy.
To share with business partners. SM Enterprise may share your information with business partners to permit them to send you marketing communications consistent with your choices.
To protect the rights of SM Enterprise and others. There may be instances when SM Enterprise may use or disclose your information, including situations where SM Enterprise has a good faith belief that such use or disclosure is necessary in order to: (i) protect, enforce, or defend the legal rights, privacy, safety, or property of SM Enterprise, our Company Affiliates or their employees, agents and contractors (including enforcement of our agreements and our terms of use); (ii) protect the safety, privacy, and security of users of the SM Enterprise Services or members of the public; (iii) protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; (iv) comply with the law or legal process; or (v) respond to requests from public and government authorities.
To complete a merger or sale of assets. If SM Enterprise sells all or part of its business or makes a sale or transfer of its assets or is otherwise involved in a merger or transfer of all or a material part of its business (including in connection with a bankruptcy or similar proceedings), SM Enterprise may transfer your information to the party or parties involved in the transaction as part of that transaction.
SECURITY
SM Enterprise uses commercially reasonable administrative, technical, personnel and physical measures to safeguard information in its possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure or modification. However, no one can guarantee the complete safety of your information.
USER ACCESS AND CONTROL
If you would like to access, review, correct, update, suppress, or otherwise limit our use of your personal information you have previously provided directly to us, you may contact us. In your request, please include your email address, name, address, and telephone number and specify clearly what information you would like to access, change, update, or suppress. We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable.
Deletion Rights of Minors. If you are an eligible registered user under 18, you may ask us to remove content or information that you have posted to the SM Enterprise Services by writing to privacypolicy@studiomao.com. Please note that your request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information, as, for example, some of your content may have been reposted by another user.
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Updates to Privacy Policy. SM Enterprise may modify this Privacy Policy. Please look at the Effective Date at the top of this Privacy Policy to see when this Privacy Policy was last revised. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on the SM Enterprise Services.
Location of Data. The SM Enterprise Services are hosted in and managed from the United States. If you are a user located outside the United States, you understand and consent to having any personal information processed in the United States. United States data protection and other relevant laws may not be the same as those in your jurisdiction.
Linked Services. The SM Enterprise Services may also be linked to sites operated by unaffiliated companies, and may carry advertisements or offer content, functionality, games, newsletters, contests or sweepstakes, or applications developed and maintained by unaffiliated companies. SM Enterprise is not responsible for the privacy practices of unaffiliated companies, and once you leave the SM Enterprise Services or click an advertisement you should check the applicable privacy policy of the other service.
In addition, SM Enterprise is not responsible for the privacy or data security practices of other organizations, such as Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, Vine, Twitter, Apple, Google, Microsoft or any other app developer, app provider, social media platform provider, operating system provider, wireless service provider, or device manufacturer, including in connection with any information you disclose to other organizations through or in connection with the SM Enterprise Services.
Remember that even after you cancel your account, copies of some information from your account may remain viewable in some circumstances where, for example, you have shared information with social media or other services. Because of the nature of caching technology, your account may not be instantly inaccessible to others. We may also retain backup information related to your account on our servers for some time after cancelation for fraud detection or to comply with applicable law or our internal security policies. It is not always possible to completely remove or delete all of your information due to technical constraints, contractual, financial or legal requirements.
Sensitive Information. We ask that you not send us, and you not disclose, any sensitive personal information (such as social security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, criminal background or trade union membership) on or through the SM Enterprise Services or otherwise.
