What personal information Cineworks collects FROM WEB SITE VISITORS
When visiting the Cineworks Independent Filmmakers' Society ("Cineworks") web site, the Cineworks web servers automatically collect a limited amount of information essential for the operation and security of the Cineworks web site. Some of this information (e.g. browser type) does not identify who you are, while other information, such as your Internet domain name or IP address may identify you. The extent of personal identification depends, in large part, on the "naming standards" followed by your Internet Service Provider. You may wish to check with them to inquire about their policies and practices in this regard.
Some portions of the Cineworks web site may distribute small pieces of information (called "cookies") to web browsers to assist you when you return to specific areas on the site. If you have concerns about this, you can change your web browser to not accept this information or display warning messages.
When you voluntarily send electronic mail to Cineworks or complete an electronic form that includes identifying information about you, Cineworks will keep a record of this information so that we can respond to you.
How Cineworks protects and uses the personal information collected
Collection, use, disclosure and retention of information must comply with provisions of the British Columbia Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. Collected personal information will only be used by authorized Cineworks staff to fulfill the purpose for which it was originally collected or for a use consistent with that purpose. Cineworks does not disclose your information to other public bodies or individuals except as authorized by law. Cineworks keeps the information only for the length of time necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) for which it was collected.
As you browse the Cineworks web site, information is automatically collected and used for generating site statistics. This information is collected on an aggregate basis. No personal information is associated with the statistics. For example, while it is possible for Cineworks to determine that on a specific day the site had thousands of visitors, there is no additional information known about those visitors in terms of e-mail address or any other personal data.
Cineworks uses different technologies to collect aggregate statistics including web server logs.
These aggregate statistics are used to monitor traffic so Cineworks can effectively handle site capacity. The statistics also help Cineworks determine which parts of the site are most popular and what keywords are being used in its search engine. With this information the Cineworks web site can continually be improved to meet the needs of its visitors.
The Cineworks web site contains links to other web sites and Cineworks is not responsible for the privacy practices of those web sites.
