We may collect the following types of information:
a) Personally Identifiable Information
We do not directly collect personally identifiable information such as your name, address, or email address unless you voluntarily provide it to us (e.g., by contacting us via email). Our primary function is to provide a directory service.
b) Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Like many websites, we may collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Site. This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (often anonymized or truncated), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics. This information is generally aggregated and not linked to individuals.
c) Information from Third-Party Services
- Google Maps API: Our Site utilizes the Google Maps API to provide information about movie theaters, including their locations, images, reviews, and amenities like reclining seats. When you interact with map features or search for theaters, Google may collect information as described in Google’s Privacy Policy. We do not store this specific interaction data on our servers.
- Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to help analyze how users use the Site. Google Analytics uses “cookies” (small text files placed on your computer) to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) is transmitted to Google. This information is then used to evaluate visitors’ use of the Site and to compile statistical reports on website activity for theater.closetome.place. For more information on Google Analytics, please visit Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps. You can opt-out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Google AdSense: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our Site. Google AdSense may use cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our Site or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.

Cookies and Web Beacons
theater.closetome.place uses “cookies” to store information about visitors’ preferences, to record user-specific information on which pages the user accesses or visits, and to personalize or customize our web page content based upon visitors’ browser type or other information that the visitor sends via their browser.
As mentioned above, third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website or other websites (Google AdSense) and to provide analytics services (Google Analytics).
You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our Site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide users with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
We may share non-personally identifiable visitor information with third parties (like Google for Analytics and AdSense) for marketing, advertising, or other uses as described above.
We may also release information when its release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.
Third-Party Links
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third-party products or services on our website. These third-party sites (such as the movie theaters’ own websites, or Google services) have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our Site and welcome any feedback about these sites.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error-free. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any information to us via the Internet.
Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Our Site is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.

Your Data Protection Rights (e.g., GDPR/CCPA)
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict its processing. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us. Note that much of the data processing on our site is handled by Google (Analytics, AdSense, Maps API), and you may need to manage your preferences directly with Google.
