This PIE Website is designed to gather personally identifiable information from users who choose to register and/or enter a particular Promotion, as well as records of communications and interactions with the PIE Website (chat, email, social media interaction, and all End User interactions on the PIE Website). This data is gathered for use by PIE for various purposes, including program enhancement and targeted marketing of PIE programs. PIE ensures it complies with its privacy obligations to both the people who register for an Account and those who enter the Promotions, and PIE diligently complies with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. To learn about PIE's privacy policy, please visit our Privacy Policy Page.

To the extent PIE collects personally identifiable information, it does so solely for the purposes listed in the Privacy Policy, which includes those mentioned above, and the administration of the Promotions. PIE limits access to all personally identifiable information gathered within the PIE Website and data is never shared outside of the PIE, with the exception of the sponsors of the Promotions in which you decide to participate, or to our personal data processor or subcontractor or to comply with governmental or legal requests. PIE may contact you in connection with the Promotions you are a participant and use your personally identifiable information collected from past Promotions when you access future Promotions or utilize the PIE Website. You may request that your collected personally identifiable information be deleted from PIE systems at any time by sending your request to our Privacy Policy Page.

These Terms apply to all users and registrants/entrants of the PIE Websites and/or Promotions including users who are also contributors of user-submitted content, information, and other materials for audition purposes in any of the PIE programs.

It is possible that Promotion content may contain links to sponsor and/or third party websites that are not owned or controlled by PIE and, in order to access some features of the Promotion which are provided by, with or through a sponsor or third party, you may have to create an account with such sponsor or third party and/or enter into a separate commercial relationship with such entity. PIE has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, terms of use, privacy policies, or practices of any sponsor's third party's websites or services. In addition, PIE is not able to censor or edit the content of any third party website or service, and its ability to control the content of a sponsor's website is limited by the terms of our agreement, if any, with that sponsor. While PIE requests its sponsors and third parties to comply with Philippine privacy laws, and rules and regulations for advertising and marketing on the internet, as a practical matter, PIE has no independent means to verify such content compliance. You expressly relieve PIE from any and all liability arising from your use of any sponsor or third party website or service. Accordingly, PIE encourages you to be aware when you access some features of a website or services which are provided by, with or through a sponsor or a third party, to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third party's website and service that you access.
