Reel Connect gathers user information to provide you with a customized experience on our sites. We ask you to register or to provide personal information when you post high scores, write reviews, subscribe to a newsletter and/or visit certain areas of ReelConnect.com. If you choose not to register you may not have access to areas that require personal identification. If you register with Reel Connect or purchase services from us, from time to time we may e-mail you with messages about our services or third party products and services we believe may be of interest to you, such as new products, features, services, special offers and updated information. In addition, if you register with ReelConnect.com or purchase products you may automatically receive emails confirming your registration and/or purchase and providing you with necessary information relating to the access or use of your registration and/or purchase.

Method of Information Collection

When you register, Reel Connect asks for your e-mail address, a user selected user name, and other information. Once you are a registered user you can update your profile and may be able to provide additional preferential information (e.g. a member name, a nickname, and certain user preferences).

Reel Connect also uses an order form for users to request information, products and services. For that order form, we collect a user's contact information (e-mail address) and necessary financial information to process the order (i.e. credit card number). Contact information from the order (including email) is used to deliver digital products and information from Reel Connect. Reel Connect may use third parties to accept and process orders and credit card purchases for services. Special Contests or Promotions. Reel Connect may occasionally present a special contest or promotion that is sponsored by another company. To qualify for entry in that contest or promotion, we may ask you to provide personal information. If we plan to share that information with the sponsor(s) or with others, we will provide a statement to that effect in the contest or promotion terms.
