Maple Pictures Corp.

Accordingly, this Website Privacy Policy sets out the manner in which we will collect, use, disclose, and otherwise manage your personal information.
COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
At this time, the only personal information that we collect through our Website is personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on the Website for Club Maple, our e-mail based newsletter. In order to register for Club Maple, we collect your name, e-mail address, a password that you choose, and optionally, a postal code (“Account Information”).
We may also automatically collect general anonymous information related to your use of our Website, such as the date and time you visit the Website and the pages that you visit on the Website. Our servers may also collect information about the type of browser you use, as well your computer’s IP address and the name of your Internet Service Provider. In addition, we collect “cookie” information from your browser to identify your account on our Website, and to provide us with a record of your visits to our website (collectively, the foregoing is referred to as “Usage Data”). The technology used to gather “cookie” information is provided by the Internet browser you use, and stored on your computer. You may set your browser to disable or refuse to accept cookies, although doing so may affect your viewing of the Website. We may store your personal information in the United States, where our web servers are located.
USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Any personal information that you provide us when you upload or submit content to the Website is only used for the purposes of: (i) internal record keeping; (ii) identifying the author of submissions to the Website; or (iii) providing you with the services offered through our Website.
We use your Account Information for the purposes of administering your Website account, and to provide you with the Club Maple newsletter. We use your postal code to gain a better understanding of the geographic location of our Club Maple subscribers.
The Usage Data that we collect is used for the purposes of monitoring and improving the use and features of the Website.
SURVEYS AND CONTESTS
Our Website contains a link to certain contests. We do not administer these contests, and we do not collect or receive any personal information related to these contests. Please consult the privacy policy of the contest sponsor for details on how your personal information is managed in relation to a specific contest.
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Except as expressly set out in this Website Privacy Policy, we will not transfer, sell or otherwise disclose any of your personal information to any third party without your prior written consent. We may share aggregated Account Information with our business affiliates and/or advertisers, but this information will not be linked to any identifiable individual.

We reserve the right to transfer any personal information we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets.

We are required to provide your personal information in response to a search warrant or other legally valid inquiry or order, or to an investigative body in the case of a breach of an agreement or contravention of law, or as otherwise required by law. We may also disclose specific user information when we believe that such disclosure is necessary to protect our interests or safety, our users, and others.
THIRD PARTY LINKS
The Website may include links to third party websites. These linked sites have separate and independent privacy policies that we recommend you read carefully.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you should be aware that, unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be secure. As a result, we do not represent, warrant, or guarantee that your personal information will be protected against loss, misuse or alteration during transmission, and do not accept any liability for personal information transmitted by you, nor for third parties’ use or misuse of personal information intercepted during transmission across the Internet.
