Privacy Policy
Andromedatv.com
is dedicated to providing visitors to this site with a highly
interactive and personalized experience, while at the same
time protecting users from any unexpected use of personally
identifiable information (your name, e-mail address, snail
mail address, telephone number). Like other Web publishers,
we collect information from users in order to deliver more
individualized content and advertising, and we sometimes
permit our advertising and promotional partners to call
to your attention products, special offers and unique content
we believe might be of interest to you. In each case, we
do so only within the guidelines in this policy. Your use
of our site tells us you have read and accept the practices
outlined in this policy.
How we gather information from users.
Andromedatv.com gathers information you provide to us when
you register for access to certain portions of our site.
We also gather information you provide
to us when you participate in interactive areas of our site,
including sweepstakes and contests, voting and polling activities,
message boards and chat rooms. Also, in connection with
our current and planned electronic commerce services, you
may be asked to provide information, including credit card
information, necessary to complete a transaction you have
requested. Some of the demographic information we request
may be identified as "optional" during the registration
process. You may change or update your registration information
at any time by returning to this page, or by pointing your
Web browser at http://www.SITENAME.com/go/register.
Andromedatv.com also employs "cookie" technology to improve
your navigation through the site and to allow customization
of the site according to your individual preferences. The
technology involves a string of information (the cookie)
that is passed to your Web browser and stored on your computer.
This cookie identifies you as a unique user and holds your
preferences, as you have identified them, and other information
from your visit. For example, the cookie may store your
user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter
that information each time you visit and granting you certain
access privileges.
Cookies may also be used to control the number of times
you encounter particular advertisements while visiting our
sites. You can set your browser to refuse to accept cookies,
but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions
of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and
password, and we will not be able to customize the site¹s
features according to your preferences.
Like most Web sites, Andromedatv.com also logs IP addresses,
or the electronic location of your computer on the Internet.
What we do with the information we collect.
The information you share with us may be used in several
ways. Typically, during your visit to our sites, we will
use your registration and demographic information to deliver
targeted editorial or advertising content we think might
interest you.
We may also combine information about you, your computer,
and your usage patterns with similar information obtained
from other users to create profiles of Andromedatv.com users
as a whole and to identify their preferences in content
and advertising. This aggregated information occasionally
may be shared with our advertisers and business partners
and may be used by Tribune Interactive, Inc., and other
Tribune Company affiliates.
We may also use personally identifiable information to communicate
with you about your registration and customization preferences;
our Terms of Service and privacy
policies; services and products offered by Tribune Interactive,
Inc., and other Tribune Company affiliates; and other topics.
For example, we may communicate with you from time to time
about changes and improvements to Andromedatv.com and about
sweepstakes or promotions we are conducting.
From time to time we or our advertising and promotional
partners may call to your attention products, special offers
and unique content we believe might be of interest to you.
If you prefer not to receive direct communications from
our advertisers or promotional partners, you will be given
an opportunity to decline before you provide us any information.
If you decline each time you provide us with the information,
you will not receive e-mail or other communications directly
from our advertisers utilizing information collected from
our site.
Personal information collected by Andromedatv.com may also
be used for other purposes, including but not limited to:
site administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce
transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests,
and other communications with you. We will also disclose
such information when we believe we are reasonably required
to do so by law or court order.

from advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties
whose information is displayed on our site. The placement

personally identifiable information (e.g., user name, e-mail
address, or other messages) on message boards or in chat
areas of Andromedatv.com, that information can be collected
