Introduction

Thanks for visiting Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. (“SPE”) and checking out our Privacy Policy for Minors! SPE has a lot of different products like movies, anime from providers like Crunchyroll, television shows like Jeopardy!, Wheel of Fortune, and shows from Sony Pictures Television Kids, and video games. SPE services are generally for adults, but sometimes minors may use certain SPE services. If you are not sure if you are allowed to use the service, you should check with your parent or guardian (your “adult”) and SPE’s rules about how old you need to be to use its services.

This is a guide to help minors like you understand the information we might get about you and how we may use it. By information, we mean what we know about you. The information we know about you may be different depending on which service you use and where you live.

We generally do not collect information from users we know are under 13.

This policy tells you:

  • What information we have about you
  • How we use your information
  • Who we give your information to
  • How we protect your information
  • Some choices you or your adult have about your information
  • Information for your parents or guardians
  • How to contact us

If you or your adult want to learn more, our main Privacy Policy, which you can find here has more information, but it might be a little harder for you to understand (and has information that may not apply to you).

If you have any questions, you or your adult can contact us here.

What information we have about you

Depending on what SPE services you use, how you use them, and how old you are, we might get different information about you.

  • We might get information about you from you, your adult, or other users, from your device, and sometimes from other companies. If we have information about you from different places, we might put it all together in one place.
  • But if you just look at one of our websites or if you use one of our services without being able to log in or without telling us your age, we wouldn’t know how old you are.

Please do not give us information you do not think you should share or anything you do not want to share.

By sharing your information or content with us, or using our services, we also might learn:

  • Ways to contact you, like your email, your address, your phone number, or other information like that, but on most SPE services, we don’t ask for this information from minors.
  • If you can create an account, information like your username, password, and birthday.
  • Things you might enjoy, like types of shows, characters, and games.
  • Preferences you choose like shows to watch or avatar features.
  • Other information you tell us, like if you send us questions or comments or we send you messages.

We get information from your computer, tablet, or phone when you use the services. This information tells us how you use SPE services like what web pages you visited, what type of device you have, your game activity, and what you watched.

Sometimes we get this information from technology called cookies (but not the kind you eat)! Cookies are small computer codes that get information when you use our services, like what you click on, or how you use our services which help us to run our site. You or your adult may have choices about how we use some cookies. You can learn more information about cookies and other tracking technologies in our main Privacy Policy, but we recommend you review it with your adult.

What we do with your information

We use your information to:

  • Open an account for you (if you are allowed to have one) and make sure you are who you say you are when you login or ask us for information
  • Let you use our services and remember what you like (preferences like your avatar or favorites list)
  • Help you if you have questions
  • Make your experience better
  • Give you information about things you might like
  • If relevant and part of the services, give information about you to your parent or guardian
  • Protect you and other users from harm
  • Protect us from harm
  • Follow rules that apply to us
  • Other tasks you agree to

Who we give your information to

We might give some information about you to:

  • Our business partners that help us provide the services (these are called vendors) and some business partners whose services you are also using (like game companies)
  • Other Sony companies
  • Your adult
  • The police and other authorities if they need it or ask for it to keep you and others safe
  • Another company or person if they buy our company or one or more of our services
  • Others, if you agree

Safety

It is important to be careful online. Do not share your private information with us or with anyone on the internet. If you have a password, keep it a secret.

Do not talk to people you do not know on the internet even if they say they are kids. Don’t tell people online your name, phone number, address, school or other information about you and don’t send them pictures of you. Tell your adult if a stranger talks to you or asks for information or if anything makes you feel uncomfortable. You can also contact us.

If you do not know if something is allowed, ask an adult you trust first.

What choices do you have?

You and your adult can:

Learn more about what we do with your information, like:

  • What we know about you
  • How we use your information

Choose what we do with your information, like:

  • Ask us to stop using your information
  • Ask us change or delete your information

Contact us here. We might ask you for more information about you to make sure you are who you say you are.

Also, depending on the service you use, you may also have privacy settings that you and your adult can change.

Changes to this policy

Sometimes we make changes to the policy to make sure it stays right. The new policy will be here and will have a new date. If we make a big change, we will also try to tell you, so you know.

For Adults

Depending on the age of majority where you live and the service your minor is interested in using, you might have some rights. For example, you may be able to agree to or monitor your child’s use of the service, submit requests on their behalf, and implement settings that dictate their use.

For more information about how we process data, you can review our Privacy Policy.
