ThunderBall, L.P. (`ThunderBall`) has created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate its firm commitment to privacy. The following describes ThunderBall`s information gathering and dissemination practices for www.thunderballfilms.com and www.thunderballproductions.com (`Site`).

Use of Information

The Site`s various registration forms and surveys may request that you voluntarily give us contact information (such as your name, mailing and/or Email address), demographic information (such as your age and gender) and profile data (such as your preferences in entertainment). Registration is required in connection with certain Site features such as posting to online forums and film reviews. In general, ThunderBall may only use this information to comply with the purpose for which such information was requested.

For example, the information collected may be used to (i) to contact you when necessary; (ii) to notify you if you win a contest or to notify you of upcoming contests, (iii) advise you as to special promotions, upcoming features, new information or entertainment products; (iv) personalize or enhance your use of the Site; (v) inform you as to functional changes or new features on the Site; (vi) provide you with information you request from ThunderBall; or (vii) conduct user polls, surveys or marketing. ThunderBall will not share any personal information that you provide with any unaffiliated third party without your consent, unless required by law or court order.

The Site may also request that you provide certain non-personally identifiable information, such as annual income and buying preferences also known as demographic and profile data, though this information is optional.

ThunderBall may use this data to improve our Site, to send you information that may be of interest to you and to enhance your online experience. ThunderBall may also share this information with others, such as promotional partners and advertisers interested in advertising on the Site, in an aggregate, anonymous form, which means that the information will not contain any personally identifiable information about you or any other person.

The Site occasionally hosts contests. With contests hosted and sponsored solely by ThunderBall, all information that is collected stays in-house, except that ThunderBall may share address information with a third party for shipping purposes. In some instances, a third party may host the contest and all information is then shared. By virtue of their sponsorship, this third party may obtain personally identifiable information that visitors voluntarily submit to participate in the contest, sweepstakes, or promotion. ThunderBall has no control over the third-party sponsor`s use of this information. ThunderBall will notify you at the time of requesting personally identifiable information if third-party sponsors will obtain such information.

Use of an IP Address

An Internet protocol (IP) address is a number that`s automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet provider whenever you`re surfing the Web. Your IP address is used to help identify you for the duration of a session and to gather broad demographic information. ThunderBall may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with its server, to administer the Site, to report aggregate information to our advertisers, to help understand our audience and to audit the use of the Site.

Required Disclosures

ThunderBall may disclose personal information in special cases when ThunderBall has reason to believe that such release is legal and is required by law; or requested by subpoena or court order; or disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with ThunderBall`s rights or property, other visitors, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.

Links to Other Sites

The Site may contain links to other websites. ThunderBall is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites. ThunderBall uses third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Site.

Security

Security for all personally identifiable information is extremely important to ThunderBall. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
