What About Third-Party Advertisers?

Our site includes third-party advertising and links to other websites. We do not provide any personally identifiable customer information to these advertisers or third-party websites.

These third-party websites and advertisers, or Internet advertising companies working on their behalf, sometimes use technology to send (or "serve") the advertisements that appear on Our website directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (also known as action tags or single-pixel gifs), and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features that they may use, and the information practices of these advertisers and third-party websites are not covered by this Privacy Notice. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy practices.

Moviebuff also displays personalized third-party advertising based on personal information about users, such as information you submit to Us about movies you own or have watched. You provide most such information when you register, search, post, participate in a contest or questionnaire, or communicate with Us. As a result of those actions, you might supply Us with such information as your name, e-mail address, physical address, zip code, and phone number; your age and gender; the movies and actors you like or dislike; and your general movie preferences. Although Moviebuff does not provide any personal information to advertisers, advertisers (including ad-serving companies) may assume that users who interact with or click on a personalized advertisement meet their criteria to personalize the ad.

As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to take advantage of such Moviebuff features as My Watchlist and My Check-Ins.

You can add or update certain information, such as your e-mail address, by using Our User Settings pages. When you update information, We usually keep a copy of the prior version for Our records.

Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the website of its manufacturer. However, because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of Moviebuff’s essential features, We recommend that you leave them turned on.
