VENAKI AND CO E.E.", situated at Kolokotroni 52, Athens, e-mail address info@altcine.com. At the Altcine portal, visitors/users/members can browse various content sources, be informed on current news about the cinema and culture in general, seek and access historical data on art and the cinema, comment and exchange views with other users on specific topics or content presented through the portal, and—provided  they meet certain prerequisites—participate in the generation of content and contribute to the development and enrichment of Altcine΄s database.
Altcine΄s content, services and applications are provided to legally capable physical persons for their personal, non-commercial use, and on condition that they fully and unreservedly comply with the present Terms of Use, which all visitors are requested to read carefully and—after accepting them—proceed  to visit/use the web pages/units/services provided by Altcine. By accepting the present form, the user also confirms the completion of the above prerequisites.
 
Access to the Portal΄s Content – User Account

No disclosure of personal information whatsoever is required from visitors in order to visit, browse, search, read or view the content of Altcine. Personal information is required only if the visitor opts to receive newsletters about cinema news, or about new functions, services and content of Altcine, or if the visitor opts to create a user account in order to be able to comment and receive certain services and privileges which Altcine will provide only to its members (for example: "I wish to watch this movie"). Furthermore, Altcine provides the option to create a special "official member account", through which both professionally qualified and/or amateur users, adequately versed in the fields of cinema industry, audiovisual production and art in general, will be able to contribute to Altcine΄s primary content production. During creation of their account, users undertake and commit themselves to provide true, precise, valid and complete information, as well as maintain and update their registration information diligently, so that the latter is always true, precise, valid and complete. Altcine reserves the right to deactivate the account of any user if valid suspicion arises that the information given is untrue, misleading etc. As part of the account creation process, the user must define a personal password and a user name.
Alternatively, visitors are given the option to create a user account at Altcine by logging in through the following social networking services: Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter. This option applies exclusively to "regular" user accounts, and not to "official member accounts".  In this case, and after a visitor logs in to his/her account at the website of the relative social networking service (Facebook / Linkedin / Twitter oAuth) using the designated e-mail/password and with no obligation to disclose further personal information, Altcine shall take knowledge and keep record of only the name and e-mail address the user indicated during his/her  registration with the corresponding social networking service.
Should the visitor select to receive newsletters, he/she may activate this service at the relative field of the web page, where all relevant information and instructions are provided for the visitor to grant his/her consent.
Altcine΄s data protection policy for the protection of its users΄ personal information is also available at the following address: http://www.altcine.com/details.php?id=374

Protection of user accounts

As soon as the visitor has created an Altcine account, he/she is exclusively responsible for any actions taken via his/her personal account with the use of his/her personal password, and he/she must diligently safeguard such information. Altcine recommends to its users to take all necessary safety precautions so as to avoid illegal or unauthorized use of their account by third parties. Altcine provides its users with a function through which users may change their personal password at any given time. Furthermore, Altcine recommends that users memorize their password and avoid noting it on pieces of paper or objects accessible to third parties. In case of loss or theft of their password and/or unauthorized use of their account, and primarily for their own safety, users undertake the responsibility to change their password promptly and, at the same time, inform Altcine. Finally, Altcine recommends that users must be particularly careful and must always log out after each session, so as to prevent unauthorized access to their account by third parties. Altcine is in no way liable for any damage or harm inflicted due to the negligence of users to comply with the terms of the present article.
