This privacy policy describes how The Bleier Center for Television & Popular Culture and Syracuse University, treat the personally identifiable information that is collected about you when you visit the web site to which this policy is linked, and the information collected on The Bleier Center's and Syracuse University's behalf to the extent The Bleier Center and Syracuse University use third-party service providers to host the web site or collect information about site users.

What is Personally Identifiable Information: "Personally identifiable information" is information that we (The Bleier Center and Syracuse University) can use to identify you as an individual. Personally identifiable information includes your name, address, telephone number, and any other information that is connected with you personally.

Information This Privacy Policy Does Not Apply To: This privacy policy does not apply to information collected about you by anyone other than us (and any third party service providers acting on our behalf) and only applies to the tvcenter.syr.edu web site. Any information you provide when you visit web sites other than those covered by this policy or when you purchase any products or services that may be offered or advertised on our web site by companies other than us is subject to the privacy policies posted on such sites by our affiliates, or, as applicable, the third party organizations who run and/or own these web sites. This policy also does not apply to information you may provide to us offline. We collect no personally identifying information about our users unless they knowingly provide us with some. We may place a "cookie" (a small file that contains no personal information) in your computer's browser file, which helps us gather information about your use of the site to better serve all our visitors, and which enables us to provide you some of the games and features on our site.

We may use any personal information you send, such as name, age, location, and personal preferences, for content or for marketing and promotional purposes or to send you our newsletter, and we may share your personal information with third parties who may choose to contact you to promote their own goods and services.

If you want us to stop using your personal information in this way, please let us know by sending an e-mail request to tvcenter@syr.edu.

When you enter a contest on our site, we may give your personal information to the contest sponsor who may also use it, and allow others to use it, for marketing purposes.

Any time we pass your information to a third party, we expect them to follow privacy policies just like we do, but that is not guaranteed. We do not bear any responsibility for any actions or policies of these third parties.

When you voluntarily give out any personal information, like your name, mailing address, telephone number, city, or school, in chat areas or on bulletin boards, that information can be collected and used by others. They may send you messages that you don't want or that are inappropriate. We suggest that you never post this type of information in chat rooms, or other areas open to the public, for your own safety.

All areas on this site are public and not private communications. Chats and other communications by our users are not necessarily our viewpoints and should not be viewed as being endorsed by us. We have the right to remove, without notice, any inappropriate content received from a user.

This site is intended for use by those who are at least 13 years old. This site will not knowingly accept personal information from any user under 13. If parents believe that any child has accessed our system without permission, they may contact us at tvcenter@syr.edu. Users under 18 should ask their parents for permission before sending any information about themselves to us or to anyone else over the Internet.

Syracuse University reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time in their sole discretion effective upon posting.
