The Information We Collect
This notice explains what kind of information we collect, how we use it,
and when we may disclose it to others. If you give us permission to collect
or use personal information and we make any material changes in how we
plan to use that information, we will notify you of this change and require
that you give us permission for these new uses before we make further
usage of it. "Personal information" is information that identifies a person
or allows a person to be located. The personal information we request
may include name, home and e-mail address, phone number, age, gender,
parent’s name, favorite actors, fashion preferences, reading preferences,
and other information including, without limitation, information about
favorite celebrities, movies, songs and hobbies.
We also may collect certain non-personally identifiable information (i.e.
generic information that does not identify you personally) when you visit
any of our web pages such as the type of browser you are using (e.g.,
Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type of operating system you are using,
(e.g., Windows '98 or Mac OS) and the domain name of your Internet service
provider (e.g., America Online or Earthlink).

your requests for our products, programs, and services, to respond to
your inquiries about offerings, and to offer you other products, programs

we have an audition, when you have won one of our contests or when we
make changes to subscriber agreements, to fulfill a request by you for

information are required to protect this information in a manner that
is consistent with this Privacy Notice by, for example, not using the

are performing for John Robert Powers.
Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized
disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable
information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is
inconsistent with this Privacy Notice. Inadvertent disclosures may result,
for example, when third parties misrepresent their identities in asking
the site for access to personally identifiable information about themselves
for purposes of correcting possible factual errors in the data.
