This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that Update Hollywood does not own or control, or to individuals that Update Hollywood does not employ or manage.
What Personal Information About Customers Does Update Hollywood Collect?
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with a friendly, customized, and efficient experience. We only collect personal information that is relevant to the purpose of our site. We do not process this information in a way that is incompatible with the purpose for which it has been collected or subsequently authorized by you. We collect the following types of information from our customers:
Information You Provide to Us
We receive and store any information you enter on our website or provide to us in any other way. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special features. The personal information you provide is used for such purposes as responding to your requests for certain products and services, customizing the advertising and content you see, and communicating with you about specials and new products.
Automatic Information
- We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. Update Hollywood automatically receives and records certain "traffic data" on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, Update Hollywood cookie information, and the page you requested. Update Hollywood uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its server, analyze trends and administer the Site.
- Generally, our service automatically collects usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our site and its components, similar to TV ratings that indicate how many people watched a particular show. This data is only used in the aggregate. This type of collective data enables us to figure out how often customers use parts of the site, so we can make the site appealing to as many customers as possible. In addition, we may provide statistical information, not information about you personally, to our partners about how our customers, collectively, use our site. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use their areas and our site, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal web experience.
- Many companies offer programs that help you to visit web sites anonymously. While Update Hollywood will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these programs are available.
E-mail Communications
We often receive a confirmation when you open an e-mail from Update Hollywood if your computer supports this type of program, in order to help us make e-mails more interesting and helpful. We also send out emails with news or promotions. If you do not want to receive e-mail from us, please email us at info@ptvstudios.com

Update Hollywood cookies do not collect personal information, and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personal information to tell us who you are or what your screen name or email address is.
- The "help" portion of the toolbar on the majority of browsers will direct you on how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to command the browser to tell you when you receive a new cookie, or how to fully disable cookies. We strongly recommend that you leave the cookies activated, however, because cookies enable you to take advantage of some of Update Hollywood's most attractive features.

In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if Update Hollywood, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, customer information would be one of the assets that is transferred. - Protection of Update Hollywood and Others:
We may release Personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with that law; enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Update Hollywood, our employees, our users, or others.
