Icon may use the information you provide about yourself to send you information on selected promotions, products, services and events tailored to your interests. For example, we may send you e-mail newsletters and website updates, we may fulfill your requests for our products and services, respond to your inquiries about our offerings, and to offer you other products or services that we believe may be of interest to you, invite you to screenings, or to participate in research surveys.

We sometimes use this information to communicate with you, such as to notify you when you have won one of our contests or when we make changes to our subscriber agreements or to fulfill a request by you for an online newsletter.

We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design and content of our site and to enable us to personalize your internet experience. We also may use this information in the aggregate to analyze site usage, as well as to offer you products or services.

We may send you information from our corporate affiliates, including our parent company Icon Productions LLC and its subsidiaries. If you do not wish to receive this information, you may opt out by emailing unsubscribe@iconmovies.co.uk confirming your requirement and email address, at any time.

Icon may provide access to your personally identifiable information when legally required to do so, such as a court order, a subpoena or to cooperate with police investigations or other legal proceedings, to protect against misuse or unauthorized use (either intentionally or unintentionally) of our websites, to limit our legal liability and protect our rights or to protect the rights, property or safety of visitors of Icon’s websites or the public.

Some of these third party sites may be co-branded with an Icon logo, even though they are not operated or maintained by Icon. Icon’s websites may also carry advertisements from other companies as well as advertisements placed by internet ad agencies. By virtue of these relationships, the third parties may obtain personally identifiable information that visitors voluntarily submit to participate in the website activity. Icon has no control over the third-party's use of this information. Although we choose our business partners and advertisers carefully, Icon is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites operated by third parties that are linked to our websites or for the privacy practices of third party internet ad agencies or advertisers. Once you have left an Icon site via such a link or by clicking on an advertisement, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the third party or advertiser site to determine how they will handle any personal identifiable information they collect from you (as our privacy policy does not cover any use of information that a third-party ad server may have collected from you).
