TERRA
NOVA PRIVACY POLICY
We
respect and are committed to protecting your privacy. That is why we have
adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy lets you know how your personal
information is processed and used. We will take steps to use your personal
information only in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy. The
following policies are only in effect for Terra Nova Films (“Terra Nova”) web
pages owned and operated by Terra Nova. The following discloses our Privacy
Policy.
What information are you collecting and how
are you collecting it?
Every computer connected to
the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers, which serve as that
computer's "Internet Protocol" IP address. When a visitor requests a page from
within the Terra Nova web site, our web servers automatically recognize that
visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal
nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have
accessed the Terra Nova website. We use this information to examine our traffic
in aggregate, but do not collect and evaluate this information for individuals.
Our web servers do not record e-mail addresses of the visitors. We may determine what technology is
available through your browser in order to provide you with the most appropriate
version of a web page.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a
small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on
your computer's hard drive. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read
cookie files created by other websites. Cookies do not damage your system. We do
not use cookies but third party independent contractors we engage for secure
transactions may utilize cookies when a Terra Nova customer indicates that his
or her order information should be remembered.
What
information do you collect when I order something?
When
you purchase a Terra Nova product online, in addition to your name and contact
information we will also collect and maintain your billing address, shipping
address, product selections and your credit card or other payment instrument
information. We collect this and
other information to fill your order and to communicate with you about your
order and to send you promotional materials.
This information is kept in our customer data base for a period of
time we consider commercially reasonable.
We
may use your PII to send notification of Terra Nova products and services by
e-mail and/or postal mail. We do not maintain a process for you to
review and request changes to your PII.
What
other information do you request?
We
may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for the purposes of
conducting a survey or to provide additional services (for example,
subscriptions to postal mail newsletters, announcement lists or information
about seminars/competitions). Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we
will clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information is
requested.
We maintain a strict "No-Spam"
policy that means that we do not intend to sell, rent, or otherwise give your
e-mail address to a third-party, without your consent.
In addition,
Terra Nova will not send you email that you have not agreed to receive. We may
from time to time send e-mail announcing new Terra Nova products. If you choose
to supply your postal address in an online form, you may receive mailings from
other reputable, third party companies.
When
you enter any film/video competition sponsored by Terra Nova, we may ask for
personally identifiable information (“PII”) so we can administer the competition
and notify winners. This PII
will be kept in a data base separate and apart from our customer data base. We will not share this PII with third
parties.
Will
you disclose the information you collect to outside third
parties?
Terra
Nova will disclose personal information when required by law or in the
good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:
1.

parties who provide hosting services or other day-to-day services that make

them.

Children’s
Privacy
If you
are a minor (aged 13-17) accessing the Terra Nova web site, we intend to abide
by all applicable national and international children’s privacy regulations. If
parents provide consent for their child to submit personal information, we ask
children only for the information necessary to participate in the program for
which the child is registering. Where appropriate, Terra Nova will specifically
instruct children not to submit such information on our websites and/or will
take reasonable steps to ensure parental consent to such submission. For
instance, we may ask for a visitor's age, birthday, or birth year in order to
determine whether or not the visitor is a child. If the birthday or birth year
entry reveals a child is under the age limit as defined by the applicable local
or national law, we will not allow the child to continue without the guardian's
consent. If a child has provided us with personal information, a parent or
guardian of that child may contact us at the email address or address listed at
the bottom of this Privacy Statement if they would like this information deleted
from our records. We will use reasonable efforts to delete the child's
information from our databases.
We do
not collect information from children under the age of 13.
