MOVCAST LOCATOR'S COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

As described in greater detail below, we collect and process personal information for two primary reasons: (1) to operate an geolocation service, and (2) to improve security and provide customer support for your movcast Locator account.

What Information Is Collected by movcast Locator

When you register for a movcast Locator, you will be asked to provide certain personal information that will be stored in the movcast Locator "profile." As described below, the amount of information requested will vary depending on the registering site, but the movcast Locator profile contains, at most, the following information: (1) e-mail address, (2) first and last name, (3) country or region, (4) state or territory, (5) ZIP code or postal code, (6) language, (7) time zone, (8) gender, (9) birth date, (10) occupation, and (11) Jabber ID.
 
When you register for your movcast Locator, you will be asked to create a password for your account. movcast Locator associates a movcast Locator unique identifier with every movcast Locator account at registration.
movcast Locator also temporarily logs individual sign-ins for the purpose of ensuring the efficiency and security of the movcast Locator service. The information in these logs is identified only by the account's unique JID, and it is never linked with personal information unless a user calls the service to request assistance.

A cookie is a very small text file that a Web site saves to your computer's hard disk to store information that you provide about yourself or to store your preferences.

movcast Locator uses cookies whenever you sign in to a movcast Locator participating site. movcast Locator stores your unique identifier, the time you signed in, and whatever movcast Locator profile information you have chosen to share with participating sites, in an encrypted cookie on your hard disk. The cookie allows you to move from page to page at the participating site without having to sign in again on each page. When you sign out of movcast Locator, these cookies are deleted from your computer.

movcast Locator also uses cookies to improve the sign in experience. For example, movcast Locator may store your user name in a cookie that will remain on your computer after you sign out.

If you are using a public computer or do not otherwise want this information to be stored, you can indicate this through a checkbox on the sign in screen, and this cookie will not be used.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies using the settings on your browser. However, if you choose to decline cookies, you will not be able to sign in using your movcast Locator.
