HOLLYWOOD.COM PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: July 7, 2026
Hollywood.com, LLC ("we," "us," or "our") operates Hollywood.com (the "Website"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your information when you visit and browse the Website. This policy applies strictly to generic web browsing, digital content consumption, and interactive media features.
1. Information Collected Automatically
As you navigate through the Website, we and our automated analytics networks automatically gather data regarding your device configuration and online navigation patterns. This information includes:
- IP addresses, operating system footprints, browser application types, and device identifiers.
- Clickstream trends, duration of domain visits, viewing logs, and referring URL paths.
- Data captured via persistent cookies, clear GIFs, web beacons, and analytical tracking pixels (such as Google Analytics and commercial ad network tags).
2. Core Processing Foundations
We utilize the automatically compiled data sets for the following business operational purposes:
- Optimizing layout responsiveness, server capacities, and general editorial user experiences.
- Serving personalized, interest-based programmatic advertisements tailored to your web traffic profile.
- Distributing newsletter components or processing direct inquiries when voluntarily initiated by you.
3. Information Distribution Matrices
We do not exchange your data sets with third parties for direct monetary payouts. However, we transfer or make available your online traffic markers to integrated digital advertising alliances and cloud metrics software to run targeted display arrays. Under localized state statutes, this operational data sharing pattern may be categorized as a data "sale" or "share" configuration.
4. State Jurisdictional Rights & Opt-Out Prefs
Depending on your primary state of residence (including California and Florida), you possess distinct data privacy rights. You may request access to, correction of, or complete deletion of the data tracking segments linked to your web session profile by contacting us at legal@hollywood.com.
Automated Opt-Out (Global Privacy Control): Our data structures are configured to automatically recognize and process browser-based Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. If your browser application actively deploys a GPC signal, our data infrastructure automatically pauses third-party targeted advertising pixel transfers during that active viewing session.
5. Data Retention Boundaries & System Safeguards
We maintain industry-standard physical, technical, and administrative controls to protect against unauthorized data exposure. Anonymous analytical metrics, traffic patterns, and cookie log histories are systematically purged or completely anonymized after a rolling duration of fourteen (14) months.
6. Revisions to this Privacy Matrix
We preserve the operational authority to update this policy framework at any time to reflect structural changes in our digital properties. All modification updates will be explicitly recorded on this URL layout via an updated effective date timestamp indicator.
7. Legal Contact Protocols
For any administrative questions, compliance oversight reviews, or to log verified data rights requests, reach out directly to the Company's corporate legal management team at: legal@hollywood.com.

7. Dispute Resolution, Individual Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
7.1 Binding Arbitration
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, your use of the Website, or your account registration, including the determination of the validity, scope, or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by binding, individual arbitration before JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The seat and place of arbitration shall be Palm Beach County, Florida, or via remote electronic teleconference means upon mutual agreement of the parties. The arbitration shall be administered in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA").
7.2 Class Action Waiver
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MULTI-PLAINTIFF PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS WITH YOUR DISPUTE.
7.3 Bellwether Provision for Mass Filings
If twenty-five (25) or more similar arbitration demands are asserted against Hollywood.com by the same counsel, or a coordinated group of counsel, within a ninety (90) day period (a "Mass Filing"), the parties agree that the claims shall proceed in a staged, coordinated manner designed to manage system administration fees and promote structural resolution efficiency.
Ten (10) individual demands shall be selected randomly or by respective counsel to proceed first to final arbitration hearings (the "Bellwether Proceedings"). All remaining arbitration demands shall be completely stayed, paused, and held in abeyance. No arbitration filing fees, administrative infrastructure fees, or arbitrator compensation indices shall be assessed or due from Hollywood.com regarding the stayed demands until they are explicitly selected to proceed into subsequent staging cycles.
Following the formal conclusion of the first ten Bellwether Proceedings, the parties shall participate in a mandatory, good-faith mediation session for a minimum duration of sixty (60) days to attempt a global compromise and settlement of all remaining underlying claims based on the adjudication patterns of the bellwether cases.
7.4 Right to Opt Out
You have the right to opt out of this binding arbitration provision and class action waiver within thirty (30) days of your initial account registration or first transactional use of the Website. To exercise this right, you must send an explicit written notification via email to legal@hollywood.com with the exact subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out". The body of the email must clearly state your full legal name, your registered account email address, and an unequivocal statement of your intent to permanently opt out of binding individual arbitration.
7.5 Severability
If any portion, clause, or line item of this Section 7 is found by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, the specific unenforceable provision shall be severed from these Terms, and the remaining blocks and portions of this arbitration agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
8. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
All matters relating to the Website, these Terms, or any dispute arising therefrom shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provisions. For any claims legally severed from arbitration under these Terms, you and the Company explicitly consent to the personal and exclusive venue jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Please also note that the information provided in your notification to us, including your name and contact information, may be forwarded to the person who provided the allegedly infringing content.
Notice and Takedown Procedure
It is expected that all users of any part of the Company system will comply with applicable copyright laws. Upon receipt of a notification of claimed infringement that substantially complies with the requirements of 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), the Company will respond expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity. The Company will take reasonable steps to promptly notify the user who provided the material that it has been removed or that access to it has been disabled.
Counter-Notification Procedure
If you believe that material you provided was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification to the Designated Agent identified above. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3), your counter-notification must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
- Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the Company may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original infringement notification or an agent of such person.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, the Company will promptly provide the person who submitted the original infringement notification with a copy of the counter-notification and inform that person that the Company will replace the removed material, or cease disabling access to it, in not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the counter-notification, unless the Company’s Designated Agent first receives notice from the person who submitted the original notification that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Company’s system or network.
Please note that under Section 512(f) of the Copyright Act, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability.
