Site Usage Information
Cookies
We try to provide you with services, products and offers customized
to your interests. In order to do that, we use "cookies"
to keep, and sometimes track, information about you. Cookies are
small pieces of data that are sent to your browser from a Web
server and stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies do not
gather any Personally Identifying Information about you; they
simply track where you travel on the A.M.C Web sites and what
you look at. In doing so, a cookie may enable A.M.C to relate
your use of the Web sites to Personally Identifying Information
that has already been submitted. Many other web sites use cookies
for very similar purposes.
IP Address
Our server automatically collects data about your server's domain
address when you visit us. This information, known as an Internet
Protocol address, or IP Address, is a number that's automatically
assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider whenever
you're on the Web. When you request pages from A.M.C, our servers
log your IP Address. Our server may also record the referring
page that linked you to us, e.g., a search engine. Our server
cannot automatically record your name or address.
How is the information used?
We use cookies to access your account information (stored on our
computers) in order to deliver better and more personalized services;
estimate our audience size; assist in processing items in your
shopping basket; track the number of entries in our promotions,
sweepstakes and contests; and identify which areas of our site
you have visited. We may also match information obtained from
cookies with data provided by you or collected by third parties.
We analyze this data both in the aggregate and in connection with
individual users. This information lets us give you the services
you want that are connected with your interests.
A.M.C uses IP Addresses for internal system administration, to
help diagnose problems with our server, to report aggregate information
to our advertisers, and to administer our Web site. Your IP address
is also used to gather broad demographic information, such as
country of origin and Internet Service Provider (i.e. AOL, Earthlink,
MSN, etc.).
A.M.C reserves the right to analyze user behavior as a measure
of interest in and use of the A.M.C Web sites. A.M.C may disclose
such analyses to advertisers or other third parties in the form
of aggregate data, such as overall patterns or demographic reports
that do not describe or identify any individual user.
E-mail
If you contact A.M.C by e-mail, you should be aware that e-mail
transmission might not be secure. A third party could view information
you send by e-mail in transit. A.M.C will have no liability for
disclosure of your information due to errors or unauthorized acts
of third parties during transmission.
Legal Authorities
We may disclose user information to government authorities at our
discretion. We also may disclose user information when we have
reason to believe that someone is causing injury to or interference
with our rights or property, other A.M.C site users, or anyone
else that could be harmed by such activities.
Business Transfer
In the event that A.M.C or substantially all of its assets are
acquired by one or more third parties as a result of a merger,

of such information in and to the United States and other countries

Security/Enforcement
A.M.C will take reasonable steps to protect the security and integrity
of all personal information provided to the A.M.C Web sites. However,
due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications
vehicle, A.M.C cannot guarantee that this information will be
