Tollywood Talk knows that you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy very seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy. By visiting the Tollywood Talk website, you are accepting the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy covers Tollywood Talk's treatment of personal information that Tollywood Talk gathers when you are on the Tollywood Talk website and when you use Tollywood Talk services. This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that Tollywood Talk does not own or control, or to individuals that Tollywood Talk does not employ or manage.
Information Collection and Use
We only collect information that is relevant to the purpose of our website, which is to enable users to discover and share information with one another. This information allows us to provide you with a customized and efficient experience. We do not process this information in a way that is incompatible with this objective. We collect the following types of information from our users:
Information You Provide to Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our website or provide to us in any other way. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special features.
Registration: In order for you to use Tollywood Talk services, you must complete a registration form. As part of this registration form, we ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you and administer your account ("Personal Information"). Personal Information may include, but is not limited to, your name, phone number, credit card or other billing information, email address and home and business postal addresses.
User Profile: To allow you to express yourself beyond just the information collected during registration, we enable you to provide additional information, such as a bio, your zip code, age, gender and instant messaging IDs. In addition, you may choose to include photos of yourself in your profile. As indicated below, in the section titled "Profile Settings", you can control how your information is displayed and used.
Automatic Information:
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. Tollywood Talk and its authorized agents automatically receive and record certain "traffic data" on their server logs from your browser including your IP address, cookie information, and the page you requested. Tollywood Talk uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its servers, analyze trends and administer the website.
Tollywood Talk may collect and, on any page, display the total counts that page has been viewed. This includes User Profile pages.
Many companies offer programs that help you to visit websites anonymously. While Tollywood Talk will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these programs are available.
E-mail Communications
Tollywood Talk is very concerned about your privacy and we will never provide your email address to a third party without your explicit permission, as detailed in the "Sharing Your Information" section below. Tollywood Talk may send out e-mails with site-related news, products, offers, surveys or promotions. You may also receive notification e-mails from Tollywood Talk, which inform you of actions (e.g. friend requests) that have been performed on the site. If you do not want to receive e-mail from us, please visit the Email Preferences section of your User Profile and/or follow the instructions contained in the unwanted e-mail message. However, please note that in all cases you will continue to receive all system e-mails (e.g. those regarding forgotten user passwords) and legal notices (e.g. updates to our policies) from us.

Moreover, if Tollywood Talk, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred.
Protection of Tollywood Talk and Others: We may release personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with a law; to enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other policies; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Tollywood Talk, our employees, our users, or others.

Inviting Friends to Tollywood Talk
Tollywood Talk is intended to be a place to share movie news, ratings, reviews and more with friends. We hope you will like our Services and invite others to join you!
Inviting friends to Tollywood Talk is always completely optional. When you choose to invite friends, we will send an email to the addresses you enter indicating that it is a message from you. We will share your name and email address with anyone you invite so that they know you suggested that we send the invitation. If a friend doesn't respond to the initial invitation after a little while, we will send a reminder message on your behalf.
For your convenience, Tollywood Talk offers the ability to import email addresses from common address books such as Hotmail/Yahoo/Gmail/AOL. If you choose to use this feature, we will access your address book using the login details that you provide. We access your address book only once to retrieve your friends information so that you may select whom to invite. We don't store your login details nor do we use them for any other purpose than to retrieve your contacts. We never send invitations to contacts you don't explicitly select and your invitations are the only emails we will ever send to your friends unless they separately register to join the Site.
If you have accidentally selected friends to receive invitations whom you did not intend - please contact us and we can cancel the reminder message.
