Privacy Policy

DineInTheaters.com (“we,” “us”) is an informational directory of dine-in movie theaters. You can browse it without creating an account, and the site does not set cookies of its own, with optional analytics running only if you accept them. We do not sell personal information.

Browsing. We don’t ask you for any information to read the directory. Like most websites, our hosting and database providers process technical request data, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, in order to deliver the site and keep it secure. We do not use that data to build profiles of visitors.

Email. If you write to us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use it to reply, to look into corrections and suggestions, and to keep a record of the conversation.

Accounts. The site has no user accounts or sign-in today, so there are no passwords or profiles to collect.

DineInTheaters.com does not set cookies itself. We use Google Analytics, a service of Google LLC, to measure how the directory is used. It is loaded only after you accept it in the banner, and not at all if you decline or make no choice.

Once loaded, Google Analytics sets cookies on your device and receives your IP address and information about your browsing activity on this site. Clicks on showtime, directions, website and phone links are recorded together with the theater’s page identifier, its state, its chain (if any) and which link on the page was clicked. We have turned off Google signals and ad personalization, and we don’t use analytics for advertising. Google’s handling of this data, including IP addresses, is governed by Google’s own policies:

• How Google uses information from sites that use its services
• Safeguarding your data (Google Analytics)

You can change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” in the footer. Your choice is stored in your browser’s local storage on your own device, not in a cookie, and it is not sent to us. If you decline or reset your choice after accepting, Google Analytics stops being loaded, but it keeps running on the page you are on until you reload it, and cookies it already set remain on your device until you clear them in your browser.

Some content comes from other companies, and those companies may set their own cookies or collect their own data when you load or use it. See “Third-party content and links” below.

Google Maps. When a map is configured, a listing page embeds a Google Maps map. Loading it sends information such as your IP address and browser details to Google, and Google may set cookies. Google’s use of that information is governed by Google’s own privacy policy and terms, not this one.

Links out. Listings link to theater websites, to ticketing and showtime partners, and to Google Maps for directions. Once you follow a link you are on someone else’s site, under their privacy practices. They may set cookies or otherwise track you, and we don’t control or review that.

Affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on some ticket links, including through an arrangement with Fandango via Commission Junction, at no extra cost to you. When you click an affiliate link, the partner or its affiliate network may use cookies or similar technology to record that the visit came from us. They handle that information under their own policies.

We plan to add forms for suggesting theaters, correcting listings and posting reviews. If you send us that kind of content, now by email or later through a form, we may collect what you provide, such as your name, email address and the text of your submission. Content you choose to publish, such as a review, may be displayed publicly along with the name you give. Please don’t include anything you aren’t comfortable having shown.

We use that information to review and publish (or decline to publish) your submission, to follow up with you, and to keep the directory accurate. Your email address is not shown publicly. The Terms of Service set out the license that applies to submitted content.

We use information only to run and improve the directory and to respond to you. We don’t sell it. We share it only with service providers that host or operate the site for us (for example, web hosting and database services), when required by law, or to protect the site and its visitors.

We keep emails and submissions for as long as they are useful for the purposes above, or as the law requires. You can ask us to show, correct or delete personal information we hold about you by contacting us, and we’ll respond within a reasonable time.

The site is a general-audience directory and is not directed at children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

When our practices change, for example when we add accounts or submission forms, or change how analytics works, we will update this page and the date at the top.
