Privacy Statement

This Privacy Statement of Bay City Cinemas (“we”, “us” or “our”) describes its policy for treatment of personal information (as defined below) located at baycitycinemas.com (individually and collectively, the “site”). This Privacy Statement applies only to the site, and it applies to the site regardless of the platform on which it is used, notwithstanding that you may have been redirected to the site from another domain owned by Bay City Cinemas. For clarity, the site includes all sites that are located on sub-domains or subdivisions of baycitycinemas.com and the Privacy Statement currently applies to all such sub-domains or subdivisions. “You” in this Privacy Statement means you personally. If you visit other sites operated by Bay City Cinemas or other sites linked to the site the privacy policy for the site will not control the practices for collecting and using personal information on those other sites. Additionally, this Privacy Statement does not apply to Bay City Cinemas' practices for collecting and using personal information offline or from sites or apps other than the site (even if that information is identical to the information gathered on the site).

By “personal information,” we mean information that is reasonably identifiable to you or to a particular device or that allows you or it to be so identified.

Personal Information we may collect. Personal information that we collect includes information that you provide voluntarily. Personal information requested might include, for example, your name, e-mail address, home address, telephone number or, where identifiable to you, other information such as your zip code, date of birth, or gender. NOTE: If you elect to purchase tickets or gift cards on the site, you will be required to enter your credit card information. We do not collect sensitive credit card information on the site that may be processed in connection with your purchases in connection with the site. We outsource processing of credit card transactions to vendors that we understand to be compliant with appropriate Payment Card Industry standards for security. We do, however, collect certain information connected to your purchase transaction, including your name, phone number, e-mail, and partial credit card numbers, so that we may verify your purchase when you pick up the purchased tickets at our kiosks. We may also offer you the opportunity to participate in offerings, contests and other promotions on our site, which may have special terms and which may require you to provide additional personal information. Before entering a contest or other promotion on the site, please review all applicable terms and conditions.

Automatic or Navigational Information. When you visit the site, we may capture certain information automatically (even if you do not voluntarily provide us with personal information, or in addition to personal information that you do provide). This information may include your internet protocol address, ISP, location-based information, browser type, time and date of access and pages accessed, linking information, click stream, page visits, page views, and website log files. If such navigational information is reasonably identifiable to you or is reasonably identifiable to a particular device, it will be deemed personal information for purposes of this Privacy Statement. We reserve the right to match non-personal navigational information with other information that we have collected from you. If that other information renders such navigational information reasonably identifiable to you or a particular device, then by definition it will become personal information. Navigational information that is deemed personal information under this paragraph will be treated as such pursuant to this Privacy Statement.

Other information you voluntarily provide: you may choose to contact us and the information you disclose may constitute personal information.
