Privacy Policy
At Café Media LLC ("Café Media") we appreciate your readership and value your personal privacy. We respect the personal nature of the information you provide us on our web site, at our events, and via our social media presence and acknowledge the importance of protecting this information. Café Meida is concerned about your privacy and wants you to be familiar with how it collects, uses and shares your information. Cafe Media collects information whenever you sign up for or use the various Cafe Media services and products, including without limitation CafeMagazine.com site and el Cafecito newsletter. Some of this information is collected automatically and some is collected only when you provide it voluntarily.
A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT CHILDREN
Cafe Media is not designed or intended for use by children under 13. If you are under 18, you should use Cafe Media only with involvement of a parent or guardian. Children under 13 may not submit any Personally Identifiable Information (as defined below) to us, and if we discover that we have inadvertently gathered any such information from a child under 13, we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
ANTI-SPAM POLICY
Cafe Media is 100% opposed to unsolicited commercial email ("spam"). We do not have any desire to send unsolicited marketing emails to anyone without permission and we do not sell or provide email addresses to any unauthorized third party in violation of this Privacy Policy.
This does not mean that we can prevent spam from happening on the Internet. Unfortunately, spammers obtain email addresses in a number of devious ways, including when you respond and ask to be taken off a spam email list, and in some cases by just generating emails to millions of random email addresses in the hopes of getting a few "live" ones. Please be assured that at Cafe Media we hate spam as much as you do, and we do our best to avoid contributing to it.
All of our newsletters and other general email marketing communications also include an "unsubscribe" opt-out link that you may use to ask that we discontinue such emails to you. (Even if you opt-out of our newsletter or other marketing communications, we may still send you certain transactional or administrative emails, such as email confirmations of ticket purchases, or emails regarding changes to your account.)
All that said, if you believe that you have gotten unsolicited email from us, please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and we will investigate. Please be assured that we strive not to contact anyone for marketing purposes without permission, and if you prefer not to receive any further marketing communications from us, just tell us and we'll try to make sure you never hear from us again.
WHAT TYPES OF INFORMATION DOES CAFE MEDIA COLLECT?
Personally Identifiable Information.
Personally identifiable information is information that identifies you as an individual, such as your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, credit/debit card number and expiration date (or other payment-method information), login ID, member name and password ("Personally Identifiable Information"). When you sign up for or use the Site or other Service, Cafe Media collects some amount of Personally Identifiable Information from you. Cafe Media also collects Personally Identifiable Information that you may voluntarily provide when you use the Site or other Service, that you may disclose in a public area of the Site or other Service (such as a rating/review page, message board or chat room), or that you may include if you communicate with Cafe Media.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
Cafe Media collects information from you automatically when you use the Site or other Service. However, the information that Cafe Media collects automatically does not contain Personally Identifiable Information. The automatically collected information may include information such as your browser type, the URL of the previous Web sites you visited, the Web pages and advertisements you view or select, the type of Service you use and the searches you conduct. This information also may include your movie preferences, such as the movies for which you buy tickets and the theaters where you see those movies. Cafe Media also collects information that does not include Personally Identifiable Information when you voluntarily provide it (such as in response to a questionnaire or survey) or post it to a public area of the Site or other Service (such as a rating/voting page, or comment).

Pixels.
Pixels, also called clear GIFs, are invisible files on Web pages that you visit. When you visit a page on the Site that contains a pixel, the pixel communicates with your computer to determine, among other things, whether you have been to that page before or viewed a particular advertisement. Cafe Media may use pixels to serve advertising, enhance email advertising, and track usage of the Site or other Service.
Other Methods.
Where authorized and as permitted by FTC guidelines and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations, Cafe Media may also use or allow the use of web beacons, trusted vendors and other third party companies who may gather data for purposes of advertising and/or to report website traffic and statistics.

However, in the event that you expressly opt-in via the Site or other Service to receive particular products or services, or information about products or services, that are offered by third parties, or otherwise authorize us to do so, we will share your Personally Identifiable Information with those third parties as appropriate for those limited purposes. Cafe Media may also share with those same third parties certain limited personal information that, without other information, does not specifically identify you.
Sharing with Social Networks or Other Sites You May Authorize.
If you are a member of a social network service (such as Facebook, MySpace, etc.) or you use other Internet sites where you have authorized them to gather information about your online behavior on Cafe Media (for instance, to notify your friends that you have viewed a video or bought movie tickets), including participation in any behavioral reporting program that they may operate on or off of their own site (i.e., Facebook Beacon, etc.), Cafe Media may share information regarding your activities on our Site or other Service with those third parties pursuant to your authorization, and they may associate that information with Personally Identifiable Information they already have about you (such as your Facebook Profile) and use it to improve their site or services or for other purposes. Cafe Media does not control the privacy policies of such third parties, and their privacy policies will govern their use of your information once it has been transmitted by Cafe Media. Cafe Media assumes no responsibility or liability for the actions of such third parties with respect to their use of your information or otherwise. Accordingly, make sure you are aware of and comfortable with the privacy policies of any third parties that you authorize to gather information from Cafe Media.

Cafe Media may also disclose your Personally Identifiable Information if it determines that an applicable law, regulation or legal process requires it, or if Cafe Media determines that it needs to share such information to protect or enforce Cafe Media's rights or the rights of another user.
