4. The date and time a user visited the site.

5. The web pages accessed at the site, as well as any applications used.

6. The Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") of the site which a user visited prior to SpotlightOnBroadway.com (if detectable), if such user did not connect directly to SpotlightOnBroadway.com, or use it as a homepage or "Portal.”

MOME uses this information to identify site performance needs; to ensure compatibility with the technology used by SpotlightOnBroadway.com’s visitors, and to generally add and improve services offered on SpotlightOnBroadway.com. In order to accomplish those goals, from time to time, MOME may conduct statistical analysis of the data it collects.

MOME does not collect data for commercial or marketing purposes, 3 and MOME does not sell, exchange or otherwise distribute the data collected by SpotlightOnBroadway.com for commercial or marketing purposes.

Information Submitted to SPOTLIGHTONBROADWAY.COM
During a session on NYC.gov, a user may affirmatively submit information to SpotlightOnBroadway.com.

MOME does not rent or sell personally identifiable information (i.e., information such as name, address, phone number, e-mail, etc., that identifies a user as a particular person), nor would MOME exchange or trade such information with third-parties without a user's explicit permission.

Cookies
Cookies are text files, or entries in larger files, utilized to distinguish between visitors to a website, and to track information during multiple visits to a website. MOME uses "temporary cookies" 4 on some parts of SpotlightOnBroadway.com and such temporary cookies expire upon the end of the browsing session. This website does not use "persistent cookies."5

The use of cookies is a standard practice among Internet websites. Most Internet web browsers may be customized to reject cookies, to only accept or reject cookies by User intervention, or to delete cookies. Rejecting and/or removing cookies, however, may lead to loss of functionality on those SpotlightOnBroadway.com pages requiring cookies to function fully.

Web Bugs (a/k/a Web Beacons)
SpotlightOnBroadway.com does not use web bugs6 on its web pages or in any html e-mail generated by use of the portal, or otherwise sent from spotlightonbroadway.com, for any purpose other than to identify site performance needs; to ensure compatibility with the technology used by spotlightonbroadway.com visitors, and to generally add and improve services offered on spotlightonbroadway.com.

Children
No applications on SpotlightOnBroadway.com specifically solicit information from minors or seek to determine whether the visitor is a minor. Consequently, because such information will not be specifically identified as being from minors, such personally identifiable information submitted to SpotlightOnBroadway.com by minors will be subject to being treated in the same manner as information given by an adult.

MOME strongly believes that parental supervision is an important factor in Internet use by minors. Therefore, SpotlightOnBroadway.com asks parents to guide their minor children when children are asked to provide any personal information online. SpotlightOnBroadway.com further asks that children ask for and receive their parent's permission before providing any information online.

Third Party Links
SpotlightOnBroadway.com provides links to, and may be linked from, other websites. The existence and/or provision of those links neither constitutes nor implies endorsement of the destination or departure website(s) or of the content, viewpoint, accuracy, opinions, policy(ies), product(s), accessibility or privacy policy of said destination or departure website(s). Nor does any link between SpotlightOnBroadway.com and a third-party website imply sponsorship of such website, or the creator of such website.

Intellectual Property
The content of SpotlightOnBroadway.com’s webpages is copyrighted, and contains some third party images/graphics that are used with permission. Users are notified, therefore, that one should presume the need to obtain permission from the copyright holder before reproducing or otherwise using images/graphics from this website.

SPOTLIGHTONBROADWAY.COM may change this policy from time to time, and reserves the right to do so without notice.

Privacy Statement Footnotes
1 An IP address is a numeric value assigned to an Internet Service Provider, a computer network, an individual computer or router, or a firewall (collectively, "users") so that other computers on the Internet may direct Internet message or other traffic to such users.
