PRIVACY POLICY
LawTube.tv, is committed to protecting the online privacy of visitors
to our website. The policy set forth below (this "Policy") applies only to
the website and online services provided by LawTube.tv. The purpose of
this Policy is to inform you about the types of information we gather
about you when you visit our website, how we may use that information, and
how we disclose it to third parties.
1. INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT
Personal Information
At various locations on our website, such as in registration forms,
surveys, and polls, we may request that you supply us with "personal
information," such as your name, email address, mailing address, home or
work telephone number. You will hopefully know when we are collecting
personal information, because we attempt to collect personal information
only when you voluntarily submit it to us through our online forms and
questionnaires. Although you do not have to provide us with any
information to visit our website, you may not be able to fully utilize all
of the services on our website if you choose not to provide certain
information. If you do choose to give us personal information through our
website, we will collect and retain that information.
Non-Personal Information
When you use our website, we may also collect "non-personal information."
We consider "non-personal information" to be information that, by itself,
cannot be used to identify or contact you personally, such as demographic
information (your age, gender, income, education, profession, zip code,
etc.). Non-personal information may also include technical information,
such as your IP address, the type of browser you are using, the websites
you visit immediately before and immediately after you visit our website,
and other anonymous data involving your use of our website. Non-personal
information may also include information that you provide us through your
use of our website, such as the terms you enter into the search functions
of our website. We reserve the right to use or disclose non-personal
information in any way we see fit.
Cookies
We may use "cookies" to enhance your visits to our website. A cookie is a
small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and
stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies do not store personal
information about you, unless you knowingly provide it. Cookies can store
non-personal information, such as what websites, pages, or advertisements
your browser has accessed. We use cookies to store information and
personalize your experience with our website. For example, cookies allow
our website to recognize your browser as a previous visitor, and thus save
and remember any preferences that may have been set while you were
previously browsing our website. Our cookies can also store your password,
personalize pages, and keep track of selections, such as your time zone
and episode selections.
You do have control over cookies. Most browsers can be set to notify
you when a cookie is being placed on your computer. Most browsers can also
be set to refuse to accept cookies, although this may affect your Internet
experience. You can also erase cookies that are already on your computer.
For more information about working with cookies, you should consult your
user manual, FAQ, or "help" function of your specific browser and
operating system software.
Web Beacons
We also may use "web beacons" (also often referenced as "clear GIFs",
"clear pixals", "web bugs", "1x1 GIFs", or "1x1 pixals") which are tiny
graphic image files, imbedded in a web page in GIF, jpeg or HTML format,
that provide a presence on the web page and send back to its home server
information from your browser, such as the IP address, the URL of the page
on which the web beacon is located, the type browser that is accessing the
site and the ID number of any cookies on your computer previously placed
by that server. We may use web beacons to collect non-personal information
about your use of our website and the websites of selected sponsors and
advertisers, and your use of special promotions or newsletters. The
information collected by web beacons allows us to statistically monitor
how many people are using our website and selected sponsors' and
advertisers' sites. Our web beacons are not used to track your activity
outside of our website or those of our sponsors'. We do not link
non-personal information from web beacons to personally identifiable
information without your permission.
2. USE OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Our Services and Website
We use your personal information to provide you any services that you may
request or require, to communicate with you and to allow you to
participate in online surveys. We use aggregated non-personal information
about our users to understand our website's demographics, such as the
percentage of male and female users, the geographic distribution of our
users, the age ranges of our users, a combination of these or other
demographics. We may also use the personal or non-personal information we
collect to analyze how our website is being used, and to improve the
content of our website, and marketing and promotional efforts.
Email Communications
If you send us an email with questions or comments, we may use your
personal information to respond to your questions or comments, and we may
save your questions or comments for future reference. However, aside from
our reply to such an email, it is not our standard practice to send you
email unless you request a particular service that involves email
communications, you otherwise consent to being contacted by email and to
send you information about products and services which we believe may be
of interest to you. You will have the opportunity to subscribe to an
electronic newsletter that will send information about our website or our
advertisers to your email address. However, we will provide you with the
option to change your preferences and opt-out of receiving those
communications. You may request at any time that we not email you in the
future by clicking the "unsubscribe" link which is included at the bottom
of any email that you receive from us. If you unsubscribe, we will make
reasonable efforts to discontinue these email communications as soon as
practicable.
3. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES
Aggregate Information
Except as specifically set forth in this Policy, we do not share your
personal information with any non-affiliated third party without your
permission. We may disclose aggregate information, such as demographic
information, and our statistical analyses to third parties, including
advertisers or other business partners. This aggregate information does
not include your personal information.
Affiliates and Non-Affiliates
We may, however, share your personal information with certain websites
that are controlled by us, or under common control with us (our
"Affiliates"), such as websites operated by our Affiliates or other
businesses of LawTube.tv, so that they and we can offer you products and
services that may be of interest to you. Please refer to our Affiliates'
privacy policies for details regarding how they handle your personal and
non-personal information.
Service Providers
We sometimes engage unaffiliated businesses to assist us in providing you
certain services. For example, we may use third parties to provide
advertising, marketing and promotional assistance, provide email services,
or facilitate our online services. In those instances, we may need to
share your personal information with them. We require these companies to
use your personal information only to provide the particular product or
service and do not authorize them to use your personal information for any
other reason.
We sometimes offer promotions in conjunction with a third party sponsor.
If you choose to participate in one of those promotions, we may share your
information with the sponsor if they need it to send you a product or
other special promotion they offer.
Business Transactions Involving LawTube.tv
As LawTube.tv continues to develop, we may buy, sell or combine with other
businesses. If so, personal and non-personal information that we or other
businesses have collected will likely be transferred as part of the
transaction. If we sell a business, we will attempt to ensure that
requests made of us regarding email communications will be honored.
Third Party Advertisers
We may use third-party advertising companies to deliver specific
advertisements to you, which appear on pages throughout our website. These
companies collect non-personal information about your visits to our
website and other websites in order to provide advertisements about
products and services that may be of interest to you. These companies may
also aggregate your non-personal information for use in targeted
advertising, marketing research, and other similar purposes. These
companies may place their own cookies on your computer. If you want to
prevent a third-party advertiser from collecting and using this
information, you may visit each third party advertiser's website directly
and opt-out.
Other Disclosures
We may disclose personal information when we are required or requested to
do so by law, court order or other government or law enforcement authority
or regulatory agency; to enforce or apply our rights and agreements; or
when we believe in good faith that disclosing this information is
necessary or advisable, including, for example, to protect the rights,
property, or safety of LawTube.tv, our users, or others.
4. CHILDREN
Our website is not designed for use by children without their parent's
supervision. We ask that anyone under the age of thirteen not submit any
personal information through our website. We do not knowingly collect any
personal information from children under the age of thirteen, and
therefore we do not knowingly distribute such information to third
parties.
5. LINKS
Our website may contain links to other websites, including websites
directed to children. We have no control over the privacy practices or the
content of any of our business partners, advertisers, sponsors or other
websites to which we provide links from our website. You should check the
applicable privacy policy of the website sponsor when linking to other
websites.
6. SECURITY OF THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
The security of your personal information is important to us. We maintain
physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to secure your personal
information. However, there is always some risk in transmitting
information electronically. The personal information we collect is stored
within databases that we control. As we deem appropriate, we use security
measures consistent with industry standards, such as firewalls and
encryption technology, to protect your information. However, we cannot
guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that
information you supply won't be intercepted while being transmitted to us
over the Internet.
7. ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Any questions you may have regarding this Policy, the accuracy of your
personal information or the use of your personal information, or any
requests that we correct, update, or remove your information in our
databases, should be directed via email to
contact@LawTube.tv
After receiving a request to change your information, we will make
reasonable efforts to ensure that all of your personal information stored
in databases we actively use to operate our website will be updated,
corrected, changed or deleted, as appropriate, as soon as reasonably
practicable. However, we reserve the right to retain in our archival files
any information we remove from or change in our active website databases.
We may retain such information to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems
and enforce our terms and conditions of use. In addition, it is not
technologically possible to remove each and every record of the
information you have provided to us. A copy of your personal information
may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for
us to locate.
This Policy is effective as of November 6, 2006. We reserve the right to
change this Policy at any time, and will post any changes to this Policy
as soon as they go into effect. Please refer back to this Policy on a
regular basis. |
