Media Index Publishing Group and WashingtonFilmWorks are not responsible for the accuracy of the content, credits, company description and other information contained within individual or company listings and personal web pages. All wording displayed on these Web pages was written by the individual or company whose listing appears on this site. This site is intended for informational purposes only. Any reproduction without express written consent of the publisher is prohibited.

We are strongly committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. The policies below are applicable to the www.washingtonproductionindex.com website ("Website") produced and maintained by Media Index Publishing Group in cooperation with WashingtonFilmWorks (collectively "MIP" or "we", "us", or "our"). We have established this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") to let you know the kinds of personal information we may gather during your visit to the Website, why we gather your information, what we use your personal information for, when we might disclose your personal information, and how you can manage your personal information.

One of the basic principles we've followed in designing this Website is that we ask for only the information we need to provide the service you've requested. As a result, the answer to this question depends almost entirely on how you choose to use our Website and our services.

You can access our Website and use many of our services without providing any information at all. In certain circumstances, MIP may collect information that identifies you, such as your name, address or e-mail address, as well as other individually-identifiable information that you provide to us ("Personal Information"). Personal Information is also collected in certain portions of the Website in which you specifically and knowingly provide such information, e.g. suggestions or customer service requests.

Through your use of the Website, MIP may also gather certain information that does not identify you individually ("Anonymous Information"). Generally, this information is collected through "traffic data" and may entail the use of "Cookies," "IP addresses" or other numeric codes used to identify a computer.

MIP may use Cookies to provide some of the services on our Website. "Cookies" are pieces of information that a website transfers to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. "Cookies" make web-surfing easier for you by saving your passwords, purchases, and preferences while you're at our website. The use of "Cookies" is standard in the Internet industry, and many major websites use them to provide useful features for their users. Our website never uses "Cookies" to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in a "Cookie."

Except as disclosed in this Privacy Policy, we do not use or disclose information about your individual visits to our Website or your Personal Information that you may give us or we may collect to any companies not affiliated with MIP. MIP does not sell any customer lists or e-mail addresses. MIP, however, is constantly striving to enhance the quality and selection of the products and services that we offer to you. As a result, we may share information, including Personal Information, about you with our sales representatives and sales agents in an effort to make you aware of additional products and services that may be of interest to you. If MIP proposes to permit such use of your Personal Information, you will be provided an opportunity to instruct MIP not to allow such contact.

MIP may use your Personal Information to respond to your inquiries or feedback on our Website or products and services. In the event MIP plans to publicly post any of your Personal Information on a Website, you are provided prior notification of such posting and given the option of preventing such posting.

We use Anonymous Information to help us determine how people use parts of the Website so we can improve our Website and ensure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many people as possible. We also use Anonymous Information to provide statistical "ratings" information in aggregated form to MIP partners and other third parties about how our users collectively use the Website. We may use or share Anonymous Information (or other information, other than Personal Information) in any manner that we deem appropriate or necessary.

We occasionally have third party agents, subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures that perform functions on our behalf, such as data processing, providing Website support, providing customer service, etc. These entities have access to the Personal Information of yours needed to perform their functions, and are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of that Personal Information. They are restricted from using or altering this data in any way other than to provide the requested services to the Website.

MIP may also disclose Personal Information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to applicable law or comply with legal process served on MIP or the Website; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of MIP, the Website or the users of MIP, and (c) act under emergency circumstances to protect the personal safety of MIP, the users of the Website or the public.

This Privacy Policy applies only to MIP, not to other companies' or organizations' websites to which we link. These links are beyond our control. These other sites may send their own cookies to you, collect your data or solicit your personal information. Always be aware of where you end up. We are not responsible for the actions and privacy policies of third parties and other websites. We encourage you to read the posted privacy statement and user terms and conditions whenever interacting with any other website.

The importance of security for all Personal Information associated with you is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your computer to our servers. Personal Information collected by MIP websites is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public. Only those employees who need access to your Personal Information in order to do their jobs are allowed access. Any employee who violates our privacy and/or security policies is subject to disciplinary action, including possible termination and civil and/or criminal prosecution.

While we make reasonable efforts to safeguard your Personal Information once we receive it, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or information we transmit to you from our Website, and you do so at your own risk.

Our Website is published in the United States. U. S. law shall govern in any and all disputes, including privacy or defamation issues or otherwise.

MIP may change its ownership or corporate organization while providing the Website and services. As a result, please be aware that MIP may transfer your information to another company that is affiliated with MIP or with which MIP has merged. Any new MIP will also follow this Privacy Policy.

MIP is committed to maintaining its position as a premier Website on the Internet. As our Website continues to develop, we may add new services and features to our Website. In the event that these additions affect our Privacy Policy, this document will be updated appropriately. We will post those changes so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information and whether we will disclose it to anyone. We do, however, recommend that you read this Privacy Policy each time you use our website in case you missed our notice of changes to the Privacy Policy.

You always may opt-out of receiving future e-mail messages. MIP provides you with the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from us at the point where we request information about you. To remove your Personal Information from our database, to not receive future communications or to no longer receive our service, send e-mail to media@media-inc.com with the word "remove" in the subject line. MIP also permits you to correct or update Personal Information that you have previously provided to us. To do so, send e-mail to: media@media-inc.com indicating the information that you wish to be corrected or updated.

Questions regarding this statement should be directed to the Information Technology Manager of Media Index Publishing Group (PO Box 24365, Seattle, WA 98124) or send an email to media@media-inc.com.
