What
Information Is Collected?
Alliance

(1)
your voluntarily provided Personal Information;
(2)
anonymous information about your visit; and,
(3) "cookie"
based information to help us track which pages on our websites you're
most interested in.
(1) Your Personal Information:
During
normal website usage, you can visit our site without communicating
any personal information. However, to make use of certain features on
our site, such as contests, quizzes, promotions, personalized
services, subscriptions or newsletters, users may be asked to
register with the Alliance Films website. As part of this voluntary
registration, Alliance Films may request contact information (such as
name, mailing address, e-mail address, etc.) and other data required
for operating these services. We may only collect personal
information from you if you voluntarily provide it. By voluntarily
providing this personal information to us, by sending us a comment or
suggestion, by entering a chatroom or bulletin board, or by entering
a contest that is posted on our web site(s), you will be consenting
to the collection, use and distribution of your personal information
by Alliance Films for the purposes set out herein. You are under no
obligation to provide us with personal information, and may access
and enjoy many parts of the Alliance Films website without providing
us any personal information.
Among other things, the following
is a representative list of reasons we may ask for your personal
information:
• To run contests, select entrants, and
choose prize winners;

To respond to your questions
or the comments that you e-mail to us;

"Cookie"-Based Information:
To tailor our site to the

visited by our users by placing a small entry-in text file, called a
"cookie", on your hard drive. A cookie is transferred to
your browser by a Web server and can only be read by the server that
gave it to you. Cookies do not reveal personal information. The only
personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply
yourself such as passwords, purchases and preferences. Cookies cannot
read data from your hard drive.
You may visit the site with
your cookies turned off. However, you may not be able to access some
of the areas of our site, which require cookies for customization and
personalization. This site uses the services of a supplier for the
serving and/or targeting of ads, promotions and other marketing
messages. To do this, this supplier collects anonymous data about
your visit to this and other Web sites, typically through the use of
cookies.
How
does the Privacy Policy deal with Children?
Children
should always get permission from their parents before sending
information about themselves (such as their names, e-mail addresses,
and phone numbers) over the Internet. We will not knowingly encourage
any minor to register with our site or to access those features which
require registration. If a child has provided us with personal
information, Alliance Films asks that any concerned parent or
guardian of the child contact us.

Alliance
Films Privacy Code
Protecting
the privacy and confidentiality of Personal Information has always
been an important aspect of our business operations. As a distributor
of filmed entertainment, the proper collection and use of Personal
Information is fundamental. We have implemented a complementary
protocol we call our Privacy Code, which applies to any individuals
about whom we collect, use or disclose personal information. It also
sets out our respective rights and obligations as they relate to
privacy laws and Alliance Films' own policies.
Alliance Films’
Privacy Code informs you of our commitment to protecting Personal
Information in our possession and control. It tells you the ways we
ensure that Personal Information is protected.
This Privacy
Code applies to all employees, individuals using our products and
services and to certain persons with which Alliance Films has
contracted. Each of our employees must abide by our commitment to
privacy in the handling of Personal Information.
The
Ten Privacy Principles of the Privacy Code
Our
Privacy Code includes the following ten principles, as set out in the
Privacy Act:
1.
We are Accountable
At
Alliance Films, we take our commitment to securing privacy very
seriously. Each employee and representative of Alliance Films is
responsible for the Personal Information under his, her or its
control. They are informed about the importance of privacy and are
updated about our Privacy Code and related policies.
We have
appointed a member of our senior management team to be Alliance
Films’ Privacy Officer. Our Privacy Officer is responsible for
reviewing and approving all Personal Information handling practices
at Alliance Films, and ensuring that our policies and practices are
up-to-date. Our Privacy Officer may be contacted at
privacy@alliancefilms.com.
2.
We will identify how Personal Information will be used
Whenever
we collect information about you, we will explain how we intend to
use it. We will limit the information we collect to what we need for
those purposes, and for no other purpose. We will always seek your
consent.
3.
We will confirm your Consent
We
will confirm your consent to the collection, use or disclosure of
Personal Information at the time of collection or in advance. Consent
may be expressed in writing or implied and, in some cases, you may
provide it verbally, electronically or through your authorized
representative. You will always have an opportunity to
“opt-out”.
Upon request, we will explain your
options regarding refusal or withdrawal of consent to the collection,
use and disclosure of Personal Information, and we will record and
respect your written choices. Your decision to withhold particular
details, however, may limit the services we are able to offer to you.
Any refusal or withdrawal of consent may be subject to any overriding
legal requirements or commitments.
4.
We will limit the collection of Personal Information
Personal
Information is collected by Alliance Films only for specific, limited
purposes (see the section: “We will identify how Personal
Information will be used”).
When you visit our websites,
information is not collected that could identify you personally
unless you choose to provide it.
5.
We will limit Use, Disclosure and Retention
The
information we request from you is used only in accordance with
purposes set out and in accordance with legislative requirements. If
necessary, we will seek your consent before using the information for
purposes beyond the scope of your original consent.
In the case
of contests and promotions, we will occasionally ask if you consent
to the forwarding of Personal Information to our promotional and
advertising partners. You may confirm or decline your consent.
As
a function of Alliance Films fulfilling certain legal requirements,
we may disclose Personal Information without consent.
We will
retain Personal Information only as long as is required for the
purposes we describe and as is required under law. Once Personal
Information is no longer required (or if you have opted-out or
withdrawn your consent), it is our practice that it is destroyed,
deleted or made anonymous.
6
We will strive to have accurate records
All
decisions we make involving Personal Information are based on
accurate, complete and up-to-date information. We rely on you,
however, to disclose all material information and to inform us of any
relevant changes or corrections as they may relate to you.
We
encourage you to contact us as soon as possible, and we will make the
appropriate reasonable corrections or amendments, upon receipt of
appropriate evidence.
7.
We will protect Personal Information
We
will protect Personal Information with appropriate safeguards and
security measures. We utilize a combination of physical,
administrative and electronic measures to ensure Personal Information
is adequately protected on a day-to-day basis, for storage and
disposal.
Access to Personal Information is limited to those
authorized by Alliance Films. Alliance Films’ computer systems
are password-secured or firewall protected and constructed in such a
way that only authorized individuals may access these systems. To
safeguard against unauthorized access to Personal Information via the
Internet, you may be required to sign-on and go through a security
protocol.
If you send us an e-mail message that includes
Personal Information, we will use that information to respond to your
inquiry. Please note that email is not necessarily secure against
interception.
8.
We will keep you informed
We
want to keep you informed. Our Privacy Code is transparent and it is
made available to the public at
http://www.alliancefilms.com/.
9.
We will provide you with Access
We
will provide you access to the information we retain about you upon
written request, satisfactory identification and proof of
entitlement. We will respond to you within thirty (30) days of
receiving your proper written request.
In some very limited
circumstances, we may deny you access to Personal Information. If we
deny your individual request for access to your Personal Information,
we will advise you in writing of the reason for the refusal, subject
to any legal requirements.
10.
We will be in Compliance

Films encourages you to contact us with any questions or concerns you
might have about Personal Information or this Privacy Code. You can
