- Cookies Information: When you visit the eWall of Fame Sites,
we may send one or more cookies - a small text file containing
a string of alphanumeric characters - to your computer that
uniquely identifies your browser. eWall of Fame uses both session
cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains

all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However,
some features of the eWall of Fame Sites may not function properly
if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.
- Log File Information: When you
use the eWall of Fame Sites, our servers automatically record certain
information that your web browser sends whenever you visit
any website. These server logs may include information such
as your web request, Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser
type, browser language, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform
type, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages
viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent
on particular pages, the date and time of your request, and
one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.
- Clear GIFs Information: When you
use the eWall of Fame Sites, we may employ "clear GIFs" (a.k.a.
Web Beacons) which are used to track the online usage patterns
of our Users anonymously (i.e., in a non-personally-identifiable
manner). In addition, we may also use clear GIFs in HTML-based
emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened
by recipients.
The Way eWall of Fame Uses Information
- If you submit personally identifiable information to us through
the eWall of Fame Sites, then we use your personal information to
operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality
of the eWall of Fame Sites.
- Any personal information or video content that you voluntarily
disclose online (on discussion boards, in messages and chat
areas, within your public profile page, etc.) becomes publicly
available and can be collected and used by others. Your account
name (not your email address) is displayed to other Users when
you upload videos or send messages through the eWall of Fame Sites
and other Users can contact you through messages and comments.
Any videos that you submit to the eWall of Fame Sites may be redistributed
through the internet and other media channels, and may be viewed
by the general public.
- We do not use your email address or other personally identifiable
information to send commercial or marketing messages without
your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature
for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. We
may, however, use your email address without further consent
for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying
you of major eWall of Fame Site changes or for customer service purposes).
- We use both your personally identifiable information and certain
non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User
usage data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream
data, etc.) to improve the quality and design of the eWall of Fame
Sites and to create new features, promotions, functionality,
and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing User preferences
and trends.
- We use cookies, clear gifs, and log file information to: (a)
remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it
during your visit or the next time you visit the eWall of Fame Sites;
(b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c)
monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns; (d) monitor
aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, pages viewed,
etc.; and (e) track your entries, submissions, and status in
promotions, sweepstakes, and contests.
When eWall of Fame Discloses Information
- We provide personally identifiable information and non-personally-identifiable
information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies, or other
businesses or persons for the purpose of processing such information
on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process
such information in compliance with our privacy policy, and
we use reasonable efforts to limit their use of such information
and to use other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
- We do not share your personally identifiable information (such
as name or email address) with other, third-party companies
for their commercial or marketing use without your consent or
except as part of a specific program or feature for which you
will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out.
- We do share non-personally-identifiable information (such
as anonymous User usage data, referring / exit pages and URLs,
platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third-parties
to assist them in understanding the usage patterns for certain
content, services, advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality
on the eWall of Fame Sites.
- We may release personally identifiable information and/or
non-personally-identifiable information if required to do so
by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary
to comply with state and federal laws (such as U.S. Copyright
Law) or respond to a court order, subpoena, or search warrant.
- eWall of Fame also reserves the right to disclose personally identifiable
information and/or non-personally-identifiable information that
eWall of Fame believes, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary
to enforce our Terms of Use, take precautions against liability, to investigate
and defend itself against any third-party claims or allegations,
to assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security
or integrity of our web site, and to protect the rights, property,
or personal safety of eWall of Fame, our Users or others.

at any time by visiting your account profile page. Please note that media files
uploaded by Users to the eWall of Fame Sites cannot be removed and remain

Third-party Advertisers, Links to Other Sites
eWall of Fame allows other companies, called third-party ad servers
or ad networks, to serve advertisements within the eWall of Fame Sites.
These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to
send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that
appear on the eWall of Fame Sites. They automatically receive your IP
address when this happens. They may also use other technologies
(such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) to measure the effectiveness
of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content
you see.
eWall of Fame does not provide any personally identifiable information
to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent
or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you
will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. However, please note
that if an advertiser asks eWall of Fame to show an advertisement to
a certain audience (for example, men ages 18-34) or audience segment
(for example, men ages 18-24 who have viewed certain channels
of content) and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser
or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the
audience they are trying to reach. The advertiser may also use
information regarding your use of the eWall of Fame Sites, such as the
number of times you viewed an ad (but not any personally identifiable
information), to determine which ads to deliver to you.
You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party
ad servers or ad networks (see links below) for more information
on their practices and for instructions on how to opt-out of certain
practices. eWall of Fame's privacy policy does not apply to, and we
cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or web
sites.
Our Commitment To Data Security
eWall of Fame uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and
technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of
your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant
the security of any information you transmit to eWall of Fame and you
do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information,
eWall of Fame makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security
of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee
that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered,
or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial
safeguards.
If eWall of Fame learns of a security systems breach, then we may attempt
to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate
protective steps. eWall of Fame may post a notice on the eWall of Fame Sites
if a security breach occurs. Depending on where you live, you
may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach
in writing. To receive a free written notice of a security breach
(or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice)
you should notify us using this contact form.
Our Commitment To Childrens' Privacy
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important.
For that reason, eWall of Fame does not knowingly collect or maintain
personally identifiable information or non-personally-identifiable
information on the eWall of Fame Sites from persons under 13 years of
age, and no part of our website is directed to persons under 13.
If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use or access
the eWall of Fame Sites at any time or in any manner. If eWall of Fame learns
that personally identifiable information of persons under 13 years
of age has been collected on the eWall of Fame Sites without verified
parental consent, then eWall of Fame will take the appropriate steps
to delete this information.
Special Note to International Users
The eWall of Fame Sites are hosted in the United States and are intended
for and directed to Users in the United States. If you are a User
accessing the eWall of Fame Sites from the European Union, Asia, or
any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data
collection, use, and disclosure, that differ from United States
laws, please be advised that through your continued use of the
eWall of Fame Sites, which are governed by U.S. law, this Privacy Notice,
and our Terms of Use, you are transferring
your personal information to the United States and you consent
to that transfer.
In the Event of Merger, Sale, or Bankruptcy
In the event that eWall of Fame is acquired by or merged with a third
party entity, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances,
to transfer or assign the information we have collected from our
Users as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change
of control. In the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles
affecting creditors' rights generally, we may not be able to control
how your personal information is treated, transferred, or used.

information you provided. Your continued use of the eWall of Fame
Sites constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Notice and
