The Information We Collect
When you visit CATHAYPLAY you provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected by us and Website use information collected by us as you interact with our Website.
When you register with CATHAYPLAY, you provide us with certain personal information, such as your name, your email address any other personal or preference information that you provide to us.
When you enter CATHAYPLAY, we collect your browser type and IP address. This information is gathered for all CATHAYPLAY visitors. In addition, we store certain information from your browser using “cookies.” A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. We use session ID cookies to confirm that users are logged in. These cookies terminate once the user closes the browser. By default, we use a persistent cookie that stores your login ID (but not your password) to make it easier for you to log in when you come back to CATHAYPLAY. You can remove or block this cookie using the settings in your browser if you want to disable this convenience feature.
When you use CATHAYPLAY, you may set up your personal profile, form relationships, send messages, perform searches and queries, form groups, set up events, add applications, and transmit information through various channels. We collect this information so that we can provide you with the service and offer personalized features. In most cases, we retain it so that, for instance, you can return to view prior messages you have sent or easily see your friend list. When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information.
You post your own private or personal information on the Website at your own risk. Although we allow you to set privacy options that limit access to your pages, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other Users with whom you may choose to share your pages and information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that the information you post on the Website will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of user information may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other Users have copied or stored your information.
If you choose to use our invitation service to tell a friend about our site, we will ask you for information needed to send the invitation, such as your friend’s email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email or instant message inviting him or her to visit the site. CATHAYPLAY stores this information to send this one-time invitation, to register a friend connection if your invitation is accepted, and to track the success of our referral program. Your friend may contact us at privacy@cathayplay to request that we remove this information from our database.
CATHAYPLAY may also collect information about you from other sources, such as newspapers, blogs, instant messaging services, and other users of the CATHAYPLAY service through the operation of the service (e.g., photo tags) in order to provide you with more useful information and more personalized experience.
By using CATHAYPLAY, you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to Singapore and/or the United States of America and processed.
Use of Information Obtained by CATHAYPLAY
When you register with CATHAYPLAY, you create your own profile. Your profile information, as well as your name, email, and photo. We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by CATHAYPLAY that we think you may find valuable.
CATHAYPLAY may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service.
Generally, you may opt out of such emails here, though CATHAYPLAY reserves the right to send you notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.
CATHAYPLAY may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as aggregating how many people are in a network like a band or a movie and personalizing advertisements and promotions so that we can provide you with CATHAYPLAY. We believe this benefits you. You can know more about the world around you and, where there are advertisements, they’re more likely to be interesting to you. For example, if you put a favorite movie in your profile, we might serve you an advertisement highlighting a screening of a similar one in your town. But we don’t tell the movie company who you are.
We may use information about you that we collect from other sources, including but not limited to Social Network Platforms where we have a presence, newspapers and Internet sources such as blogs, instant messaging services, Social Network Platform developers, and other users of CATHAYPLAY, to supplement your profile.
Links
CATHAYPLAY may contain links to other websites or be accessed through other websites. We are of course not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by CATHAYPLAY.
Third-Party Advertising
Advertisements that appear on CATHAYPLAY are sometimes delivered (or “served”) directly to users by third-party advertisers. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. These third-party advertisers may also download cookies to your computer, or use other technologies such as JavaScript and “web beacons” (also known as “1×1 gifs”) to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. Doing this allows the advertising network to recognize your computer each time they send you an advertisement in order to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. In this way, they may compile information about where individuals using your computer or browser saw their advertisements and determine which advertisements are clicked. CATHAYPLAY does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third-party advertisers. Third-party advertisers have no access to your contact information stored on CATHAYPLAY unless you choose to share it with them.
This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by CATHAYPLAY and does not cover the use of cookies or other tracking technologies by any of its advertisers.
Changing or Removing Information
Access and control over most personal information on CATHAYPLAY are readily available through the profile editing tools. CATHAYPLAY users may modify or delete any of their profile information at any time by logging into their accounts. Information will be updated immediately. Individuals who wish to deactivate their MUBI account may do so on their account page. Removed information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time but will not be generally available to members of CATHAYPLAY.
Where you make use of the communication features of the service to share information with other individuals on CATHAYPLAY, however, (e.g., sending a personal message to another CATHAYPLAY user) you generally cannot remove such communications.
Security
CATHAYPLAY takes appropriate precautions to protect our users’ information. Your account information is located on a secured server behind a firewall. When you enter sensitive information, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). (To learn more about SSL, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer). Because email and instant messaging are not recognized as secure communications, we request that you not send private information to us by email or instant messaging services.
Terms of Use, Notices, and Revisions
Your use of CATHAYPLAY and any disputes arising from it is subject to this Privacy Policy and all of its dispute resolution provisions including arbitration, limitation on damages, and choice of law. We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time. Non-material changes and clarifications will take effect immediately, and material changes will take effect within 30 days of their posting on this site. If we make changes, we will post them and will indicate at the top of this page the policy’s new effective date. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or through a notice on our home page. We encourage you to refer to this policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current privacy policy. Unless stated otherwise, our current privacy policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account.
