PARENTAL PRIVACY POLICY - www.paramountpictures.co.uk

The privacy of your child is very important to us at Paramount Pictures. We are committed to safeguarding children's personal information collected online, and to helping parents and their children learn how to exercise control over personal information while exploring the Internet. The measures Paramount Pictures have taken to help children protect their own privacy while online include encouraging children to use non-personally identifiable screen names rather than their real names and taking efforts to prevent children from posting contact information. Additionally, we do not ask children to disclose more personal information than is necessary for them to participate in an activity.

Please read the following summary of our information usage practices at Paramount Pictures carefully. This privacy notice governs the collection and use of information at Paramount Pictures Online Web sites directed to children.

WE COLLECT A VERY LIMITED AMOUNT OF PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN
At our sites, we have a policy of collecting limited personally identifiable information. However, to enable children to participate in some of our online activities, we may ask them to provide us with their first name, hometown, and e-mail address.

On some pages of our sites, such as where children can send electronic postcards to their friends, we also may ask your child to provide personal information about other people. This is usually limited to a first name and e-mail address. We also may ask for the name and e-mail address of the child's parent.

When children visit our sites, we automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information such as the type of computer operating system (e.g., Windows '98 or Mac OS) and browser (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer) being used, and the domain name of the Internet service provider (e.g., AOL, Freeserve).

WE NEVER SHARE CHILDREN'S PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH ANY THIRD PARTIES
We only ever use children's information for our own internal purposes such as to enable them to subscribe to our online newsletter, to enter one of our competitions, to express their valued opinions on various topics, and to send electronic postcards to their friends.

We use the information that we collect about others to either enable the child to communicate with them, for example, to send an electronic greeting card to a friend, or to obtain your consent for participation in these activities, such as to notify you when your child has entered one of our competitions.

We may occasionally use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design and content of our site, therefore enabling us to personalise your online experience. We may also use this information to analyse the site usage as well as to offer visitors/subscribers products, programs, and/or services.

In addition we may disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency's request or when forced to do so by law.

LINKS TO OTHER WEB SITES
Our site contains links to other sites whose information practices may be different than those of Paramount Pictures. For instance, we may link to an affiliate site such as Shrek2.com. Visitors should consult the privacy notice at the particular site to which they link, to ascertain the practices there.

COOKIES
At Paramount Pictures Web sites we may use a software technology called "cookies." Cookies are small text files that we place in visitors' computer browsers to store their preferences. Cookies themselves do not contain any personally identifiable information. Although cookies could enable us to relate a visitor's use of this Web site to personal information (e.g., e-mail address) that a visitor has provided, but we do not do so for this site.

SECURITY
Currently, we do store the e-mail addresses that we receive in connection with certain children's activities on our site. These addresses are either compiled for internal reasons such as measuring Web site penetration while also providing a database with which to communicate to those that subscribe to our newsletters.
