a registered user (if offered by the Site) or other user of the Site. This Privacy Policy governs only the Personal

manner (such as by the Logo Channel not through the Site) or by any other
website offered by Logo, the Parent Companies and/or
any subsidiaries and affiliates of the Parent Companies (collectively, “Affiliates”) or collected by any
other company, unless specifically stated. We may from time to
time, combine Information (as that term is defined below) with other

our Parent Companies, Affiliates, marketing companies or Advertisers and, if we
do so, our use of the resulting combined Information will be subject to this
Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy will remain in full
force and effect, even if your use of or participation in the Site or any
particular service, feature, function or promotional activity offered through
the Site terminates, expires, ceases, is suspended or deactivated for any
reason. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not
participate in the Site or any features, activities or services offered through
the Site.
2. U.S. Governing Law.
The

with the laws or regulations of, or governed by, other nations. By participating in
our Site activities, you certify that you meet the age and other eligibility

compliance with any applicable local and national laws. Please be aware that

Marketing Services and Associated Promotional Opportunities).
When we use the term "Personal

any information other than Personal Information collected by the Site (Personal Information and Other Information, together, the
“Information”).
a. Information We Collect that You Provide Us.
i. User Registration.
To the extent we offer user registration on the Site, to register as a member
of the Site, you are required to select a user name and password (together,
your “User ID”) and may be required to also provide other Information,
such as your email address and date of birth. Additional

Functions. We
may also provide you with access to certain features or functions that we may offer on the Site, such as the option to

profile pages. To sign up for or participate in these features or functions, you may be required to provide us with

order any of our various Products (as defined in the Terms of Use Agreement),
in addition to your name and contact information, we will also collect and may maintain
your billing address, shipping address, Product selections, your credit card or
other payment instrument information, your order number and information about
your computer's internet address and website which may have referred or

submission of such Information may be optional. The Promotion’s entry page

party advertisers, sponsors or promotional partners (“Advertisers”) as a
result of your use of the Site in connection with many of these types of Promotions.
b.
Information Collected Through Use of
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies.
The Site and/or
third parties may use “cookies”, “web
beacons” (also known as image tags, GIF or web bugs), “embedded scripts” and
other similar tracking technologies (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”)
to collect Other Information automatically as you browse the Site and the web.
We use Tracking
Technologies to collect “click stream” data and additional Other Information regarding
your visits to the Site, such as your visits to the Site’s webpages, use of our

as part of this process. By visiting the Site, whether as a registered user

your use of the Site.
This Site may additionally
use a variety of third party advertising networks, data exchanges, traffic
measurement service providers, marketing analytics service providers and other
third parties (collectively, “Third Party Advertising Service Providers”)
to, for example, serve advertisements on the Site, facilitate targeting of
advertisements and/or measure and analyze advertising effectiveness and/or
traffic on the Site (“Targeting Services”). These Third Party
Advertising Service Providers may enable us to display advertisements based on
your visits to the Site and other websites you have visited. Targeting
Services enable us to, among other things, help deliver advertisements or
other content to you for products and services that you might be interested in,
to prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times and to
conduct research regarding the usefulness of certain advertisements to you.
Although these Third Party Advertising
Service Providers do not have access to Tracking Technologies set by the Site,

Wireless Marketing Services and Associated Promotional
Opportunities.
Logo may provide users
and viewers with the opportunity to register for special Promotions, services,
news, programming and information delivered via text messaging and other
wireless devices such as mobile phones and, in the event we do so, users are
required to provide their consent to receive such information from Logo,
either by registering on the Site or via their wireless device. Such services
and promotional opportunities are provided by the Parent Companies and/or Affiliates
for Logo. The Information
requested as part of the online registration process may include a user’s
telephone number or a wireless email address, but only if specifically
requested, and the carrier’s name. Additional Information may be requested for
specific Promotions, such as a user’s preferences regarding goods or services,
choices of music or artists, or other similar survey information. Depending on
the Promotion, we may also collect an Internet email address or other Information
and, depending on the Information collected, the user may also be required to
confirm his or her agreement to this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use
Agreement.
We
caution that most wireless transmissions are not secured and there is a greater
risk of an unknown third party’s interception of messages or a user’s Personal
Information when using a wireless communications device.
Users that register for Logo’s
wireless marketing services acknowledge, understand and agree that they will
be charged by the user’s wireless carrier for all messages sent to the user
from Logo. Standard
messaging rates will apply, unless noted otherwise. Under no circumstances
will the Site, Logo,
its Parent Companies or Affiliates be responsible for any wireless email or
text messaging charges incurred by a user or by a person that has access to a
user’s wireless device, telephone number, or email address.
a. Registration.
To the extent we provide wireless marketing services,
there are two registration methods provided for Logo’s
wireless marketing services. Standard rate Promotions will be subject to
either the “single opt-in” or the “double-opt-in” (Site/SMS) method, at the
discretion of Logo
depending on the type of Promotion. Premium rate services will require the
“double opt-in” (Site/SMS or SMS/SMS) method.
i. Single
Opt-in Method: In response to print, radio,
television, Internet, or other promotional messages, users will be directed to
send a specific word or code via a text message to a designated telephone
number to register for the service promoted. The user’s voluntary submission
of the designated word or code to Logo
will mean that the user has freely and affirmatively granted permission to Logo
to send text messages to him or her. Logo
will thank the user for his or her registration by sending a “Thank you”
message. The user may terminate the service at any time by using the
unsubscribe command in any text message from Logo
or by sending a text message to Logo
that says “STOP”, “END”, “CANCEL”, “REMOVE”, “UNSUBSCRIBE” or “QUIT”.
ii. Double
Opt-in (Site/SMS) Method: In response to
print, radio, television, Internet, or other promotional messages, users will
be directed to this Site to start the registration process. The user must
affirmatively consent to Logo’s
sending of wireless messages to his or her designated wireless device by
submitting a telephone number (or wireless email address, only if requested by Logo)
and by clicking the consent statement on the Site’s registration page. The
user must also agree to the Site’s Privacy Policy and
Terms of Use
Agreement before the online registration process is
completed. Logo will then send a
“Confirmation” message to the user’s designated wireless device and will
request that the user confirm that he or she has agreed to receive messages
from Logo to that particular
telephone number (or wireless domain name when appropriate). The user
must respond to the “Confirmation” message with a text message that states
“YES” or “Y” that will indicate the user’s acceptance of Logo’s
wireless marketing service. Until the user responds to the “Confirmation”
message, the user is not registered for the specific wireless marketing service
subject to the Promotion. A user may respond to the “Confirmation” message at
any time provided that Logo
may choose to terminate offering wireless marketing service at any time and the
user’s response to the “Confirmation” is only valid if the response is received
while Logo continues to offer
the specific wireless marketing service.
iii. Double
Opt-in (SMS/SMS) Method: In response to
print, radio, television, Internet, or other promotional messages, users will
be directed to send a specific word or code via a text message to a designated
telephone number to register for the service promoted. Logo
will then send a “Confirmation” message to the user’s designated wireless
device and will request that the user confirm that he or she has agreed to
receive messages from Logo
to that particular telephone number (or wireless domain name when appropriate).
The user must respond to the “Confirmation” message with a text message
that states “YES” or “Y” that will indicate the user’s acceptance of Logo’s
wireless marketing service. Until the user responds to the “Confirmation”
message, the user is not registered for the specific wireless marketing service
subject to the Promotion. A user may respond to the “Confirmation” message at
any time provided that Logo
may choose to terminate offering wireless marketing service at any time and the
user’s response to the “Confirmation” is only valid if the response is received
while Logo continues to offer
the specific wireless marketing service.
b.
Termination of Wireless Services by User. Regardless of
which one of the above opt-in methods was used to register, users may revoke
their consent to receive messages from Logo
by the following procedure:
A user may cancel
one or more services via his or her wireless device at any time by using the
unsubscribe mechanism provided by Logo
at the time the message is sent, or by sending a text message that says “STOP”,
“END”, “CANCEL”, “REMOVE”, “UNSUBSCRIBE” or “QUIT”. Logo
will terminate the user’s registration for the most recent wireless service
sent to the user. Any of these words followed by the word “ALL” in the user’s
termination request will cancel all of the user’s registered wireless services
with Logo. If the user
unsubscribes from one or all of Logo
service(s) via his or her wireless device, the service(s) will be terminated
immediately and will cancel the user’s previous opt-in.
c.
Termination of Wireless Services by Logo.
A user understands, acknowledges and agrees that Logo
may, in its sole discretion and without liability to any user, terminate its
offer of any specific wireless marketing service or all wireless marketing
services at any time without advance notice. Logo
may provide notice of terminations or changes in services on this Site.
d.
Use of Information. Logo
will not use a wireless telephone number, wireless or conventional Internet email
address, or other Information submitted for its wireless marketing services for
any other purpose but to provide the service requested, unless we provide
advance notice of any other use. We will not share any Personal Information
with Advertisers or other third party marketers unless you opt-in to such
disclosure. We will share Personal Information with the operational service
providers that assist us in delivering these wireless services to you and with
the Parent Companies and Affiliates.
6. Sharing and Disclosure of

sell, rent, lease or disclose your Personal Information to third parties,

iii.
Disclosure In Connection with Co-Branded Services and Features. The
Site may also offer co-branded services and features, such as events and

hosted on the Site and/or our Co-Branded Partner’s website. We may share your
Personal Information with our Co-Branded Partner and your voluntary use of

and give your affirmative consent to both the Site and
our Co-Branded Partner to collect the Information provided in connection
with the specific co-branded feature or service and to use such Information for
the fulfillment of the feature or service and for marketing or administrative
purposes. The Co-Branded Partner will be identified on
the co-branded feature or service, along with the Co-Branded partner’s privacy policy.
If you wish to opt-out of a Co-Branded Partner's future use of your Personal
Information for marketing purposes, you will need to contact the
Co-Branded Partner directly and the use of such information by Co-Branded
Partner is subject to Co-Branded Partner’s privacy policy.
iv. Disclosure to Operational
Service Providers. We also have the right to disclose your Personal
Information and Other Information to third parties for the purpose of
administering and maintaining the Site’s services, features, functions and
operations. We will refer to these third parties as “operational service
providers”.
We use operational service providers to efficiently provide the full range of
content, activities, services, features and functions we bring you and we
disclose your Information to operational service providers for the purpose of
providing services to us.
v.
Disclosure to Certain Other Third Parties.
In addition to the above, we will make your Personal Information and Other
Information available to certain third parties in the following limited
circumstances:
·
When
we are compelled to do so by a governmental agency, court or other entity (e.g.,
to respond to subpoenas, court orders or legal process) or if requested by a
governmental agency or other authority as part of an investigation;
·
If
we believe your actions violate any law, rule, regulation and/or the Terms of Use Agreement, including, without
limitation, this Privacy Policy, Rules or Additional Terms;
·
In
connection with Promotions, as necessary to administer the Promotion or as
required by applicable laws, rules or regulations (for example, to provide
winners’ lists or make required filings as appropriate);

If
you opt-in or otherwise agree to have your Personal Information shared with or
otherwise disclosed to a third party for marketing purposes, in which case the third party’s use of your Information is subject to the third
party’s own privacy policy;
·
If,
in our sole discretion, we believe such disclosure to be necessary or
appropriate: to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries; to
protect our business and assets or the rights, property or safety of the Site,

or any of its or their operational service providers, licensors, suppliers,
Advertisers, customers, users, or any other party; to limit our legal liability;

b. Sharing and
Disclosure of Other Information. We may share or otherwise disclose Other
Information with third parties, but we do not disclose Personal Information to
them except as described in this Privacy Policy.
7. Reviewing,
Updating or Deleting Certain Information.
Generally, you may
review, update or delete certain Information collected by the Site if you are a
registered user of the Site and logged into the Site, by clicking “My Home” at
the top left of the site or your display name at the top of the Site and then
selecting “Edit Profile” However, Personal Information that is necessary to
check eligibility, such as date of birth or age, cannot be deleted, but may be
modified with sufficient verification of the correct information. We will allow you to change the password portion of your User
ID, as well as certain other Information you have given us in order to keep
your information current, but once you select a user name you will not
be able to change that user name provided to us during registration and which
is associated with your User ID.
Certain Information
collected for certain entries into Promotions are subject to corporate and
regulatory recordkeeping requirements and will not be deleted upon the user’s
request, unless the entrant is a child under the age of 13 years old.
If the burden or
expense of providing access to your Information is disproportionate to the
risks to your privacy or if the legitimate rights of others would be violated,
we may decide not to provide access to such Information. In such cases, we will
provide to you an explanation of why access cannot be provided and contact information
for further inquiries.
Children or Ineligible Teenagers. If we, or our Parent
Companies or Affiliates, inadvertently send an email or text message to a
person that does not meet the age and other eligibility requirements of the
Site, such as a child (a person under the age of 13) or
others who do not meet the greater age requirements of certain features of this
Site (“Ineligible Teenagers”), the child (or Ineligible Teenager)
or the child’s (or Ineligible Teenager’s) parent or legal guardian (the “Parent”)
always has the right to unsubscribe (opt-out) from receiving future emails or
text messages via the unsubscribe mechanism contained in the email or message.
The same unsubscribe process is available to a parent or legal guardian of a
minor (a person under the age of 18, or the age of majority in your state).
In
addition, Parents
of children or Ineligible Teenagers who wish to terminate their child’s or
Ineligible Teenager’s membership must use their child’s or Ineligible
Teenager’s User ID to gain direct access to the account, and follow the
procedures in the “Deactivation/Termination of Your Registration or Use”
Section of the Terms of Use
Agreement
to terminate their child’s or Ineligible Teenager’s member; alternatively,
Parents may send an email to the Site’s Privacy Administrator and provide us
with your child’s or Ineligible Teenager’s User ID and request to terminate
your child’s or Ineligible Teenager’s account and registration. We
will not allow direct access to a user’s account and Personal Information by
any person without the user’s User ID. If a Parent does not have his or her
child’s or Ineligible Teenager’s User ID, the Parent will be required to send
an email to the Privacy Administrator that includes the Parent’s name, address,
telephone and email address, in addition to the child’s or Ineligible
Teenager’s name and email address as registered on the Site, plus the child’s or
Ineligible Teenager’s date of birth. The Parent must also provide verifiable
identification that they are the parent or legal guardian of the child or

8. Protection of Information.
While no data transmission over the Internet is 100%
secure from intrusion, we maintain commercially reasonable physical, electronic
and procedural safeguards to protect your Information. However, regardless of our
efforts and the Device you use to access the Site, it is possible that third
parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications over an unsecured transmission. We conduct financial transactions via secured transmissions but
may not always secure other parts of the Site. We also limit access to the
Site by our own employees to those individuals who are authorized for the
proper handling of such information and any employee found violating our
standards of security and confidentiality will be subject to our disciplinary
processes. We request that our operational service providers follow similar
standards of security and confidentiality.
Phishing. Phishing attacks
attempt to steal consumers’ personal identity data and financial account
credentials. “Phishers” use ‘spoofed’ e-mails to lead consumers to counterfeit
websites designed to trick recipients into divulging Information such as credit
card numbers, account usernames, passwords and social security numbers. WE
DO NOT SEND EMAILS ASKING YOU TO PROVIDE OR CONFIRM CREDIT CARD NUMBERS, SOCIAL
SECURITY NUMBERS OR YOUR USERNAME OR PASSWORD! If you receive such email communication,
please forward it immediately to the Site’s Privacy Administrator at LOGOonline’s Contact page, and then
immediately delete the fraudulent email from your computer.
