THE GENERAL STORE has implemented those
Principles in this Privacy Policy, which
describes how we collect, use and share
personally identifiable information ("PII")
we obtain from and about individuals
located in the U.S both online and
offline.
From time to time THE GENERAL STORE
may revise this Privacy Policy to
reflect industry initiatives or changes
in the law, our PII collection and use
practices, the features of our web
sites, or technology. If we make
revisions that change the way we collect
or use your PII, those changes will be
posted in this Privacy Policy and the
effecitve date will be noted at the
begining of the Policy. Therefore, you
should review it periodically so that
you are up to date on our most current
policies and practices. If THE GENERAL
STORE materially changes its practices
regarding collection or use of your PII,
your PII will continue to be governed by
the Policy under which it was collected
unless you have been provided notice of
and have not objected to the change.
COLLECTION: COLLECTION OF
PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION ("PII")
BY THE GENERAL STORE
General. THE GENERAL STORE
collects personally identifiable
information ("PII", that is, information
such as your full name, email address,
mailing address or telephone number) in
order to create or enhance our
relationship with you. When we collect
PII from you it is because you are
voluntarily submitting the information
to us in order to participate in
activities like sweepstakes, contests,
games, surveys, forums, subscription
registrations in connection with content
or suggestions you submit to us, chats,
bulletin boards, or because you want us
to furnish you with products, services
or information. We may also obtain PII
from reputable third parties.
Cookies. Cookies are small
bits of information that the Internet
sites operated by THE GENERAL STORE
place on the hard drive of your
computer. Cookies remember information
about your activities on our site and
enable THE GENERAL STORE to make your
visits to our site more enjoyable. For
example, cookies can track the things
you have placed your "shopping cart"
during a visit to our online store.
Third party advertisements displayed
on THE GENERAL STORE's site(s) may also
contain cookies set by Internet
Advertising companies or advertisers.
THE GENERAL STORE does not control these
cookies and visitors to our web site(s)
sent by Internet Advertisers or other
companies should check the privacy
policy of the advertiser to see whether
and how it uses cookies.
THE GENERAL STORE may use cookies or
similar tools to relate your use of our
web site(s) to PII obtained by you or a
reputable third party. For example, if
you've asked us to send you information
about our upcoming products or
promotions, cookie and/or click stream
information about your activities on THE
GENERAL STORE's website(s) may allow us
to limit the materials we send you to
items we think you will find
interesting, based on your prior online
activities and preferences. However, if
THE GENERAL STORE wishes to combine your
personal and cookie or clickstream
information in this manner, we will
obtain your express affirmative consent
(i.e., "opt in").
You can program your computer to warn
you each time a cookie is being sent or
to refuse cookies completely. However,
without cookies you won't be able to
conduct transactions such as placing an
order via our shopping cart or
completing a sale for any VHS or DVD
merchandise.
NOTICE: THE GENERAL STORE
WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH NOTICE ABOUT ITS
PII COLLECTION PRACTICES
When you voluntarily provide PII to
THE GENERAL STORE, we will make sure you
are informed about who is collecting the
information, how and why the information
is being collected and the types of uses
THE GENERAL STORE will make of our
information. At the time you provide PII,
THE GENERAL STORE will notify you of
your options regarding our use of your
PII, including whether we will share it
with outside companies (See "Choice"
below).
This Policy describes the types of
other companies that may want to send
you information about their products and
services and therefore want to share
your personal information provided you
have given THE GENERAL STORE permission
to do so (See "Use" below).
Sometimes we collect personally
identifiable information from consumers
in manual format or off-line, such as a
post card or subscription form.
Providing detailed notice in those
situations often proves impractical, so
consumers will instead be provided with
a short notice that describes how to
obtain the full text of this Policy and
other relevant information from us.
THE GENERAL STORE's web site(s) may
be linked to Internet sites operated by
other companies. Some of these third
party sites may be co-branded with a THE
GENERAL STORE logo, even though they are
not operated or maintained by THE
GENERAL STORE. THE GENERAL STORE's web
site(s) may also carry advertisements
from other companies. THE GENERAL STORE
is not responsible for the privacy
practices of web sites operated by third
paties that are linked to our site(s) or
for the privacy practices of third party
or national Internet Advertising
companies. Once you've left a THE
GENERAL STORE site via such a link or by
clicking on an advertisement, you should
check the applicable privacy policy of
the third party or advertiser site to
determine how they will handle any PII
they collect from you.
THE GENERAL STORE's web site(s) may
also be linked to sites operated by
companies affiliated with THE GENERAL
STORE (i.e., that are part of the News
America Group). Although News America
Group entities adhere to the Group's
Privacy Principles, visitors to those
affiliated sites should still refer to
their separate privacy policies and
practices, which may differ in some
respects from this Policy.
CHOICE: THE GENERAL STORE
WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH CHOICES ABOUT THE
USE OF YOUR PII
THE GENERAL STORE will not use the
PII you proide to us for purposes
different from the purpose for which it
was submitted or share your PII with
third parties that are not affiliated
with THE GENERAL STORE (i.e, not part of
the News America Group), unless we
obtain your permission.
USE: THE GENERAL STORE'S
USE OF PII
THE GENERAL STORE will use your PII
in a manner that is consistent with this
Policy. If THE GENERAL STORE obtains PII
from a third party such as a business
partner, our use of that information is
governed by this policy.
THE GENERAL STORE may share your PII
with companies that are affiliated with
us, that is are part of the News America
Group of companies. Provided you have
given us consent, THE GENERAL STORE may
also share your PII with advertisers and
business partners that are not
affiliated with THE GENERAL STORE, but
would like to send you information about
their products and services. However,
you will always have the opportunity to
instruct us not to share your
information with third parties when PII
is collected.
THE GENERAL STORE employees, agents
and contractors must have a legitimate
business reason to obtain access to your
PII. THE GENERAL STORE may share your
PII with outside contractors or agents
who help us manage our information
activities (i.e, sweepstakes
administration, order fulfillment,
statistical analyses) but they may only
use PII to provide THE GENERAL STORE
with a specific service and not for any
other purpose.
There may be instances when THE
GENERAL STORE may disclose PII without
providing you with a choice in order to
protect the legal rights of THE GENERAL
STORE, other companies within the News
America Group or their employees, agents
and contractors; to protect the safety
and security of visitors to our web
sites; to protect against fraud and for
risk management purposes; or to comply
with the law or legal process. In
addition, if THE GENERAL STORE sells all
or part of its business or makes a sale
or transfer of assets or is otherwise
involved in a merger or business
transfer, THE GENERAL STORE may transfer
your PII to a third party as part of
that transaction.
SECURITY: THE GENERAL STORE
PROTECTS THE SECURITY OF PII
THE GENERAL STORE uses reasonable
administrative, technical, personnel and
physical measures to safeguard PII in
its possession against loss, theft and
unauthorized use, disclosure or
modification. In addition, THE GENERAL
STORE uses reasonable methods to make
sure that PII is accurate, up-to-date
and appropriately complete.
