Privacy
Statement
We recognize that your privacy is important.
This Privacy Statement applies to all of the products and services offered by
Gclef.TV, or its affiliates (collectively, our “services”). If you
have any questions about this Privacy Statement, please feel free to contact us
through our website.
Information we collect and how we use it:
In order to provide our full range of services, we
may collect the following types of information:
- Information you provide - When you
sign up for an account with us that requires registration, we ask you for
personal information (such as your name, email address and an account
password). Except as required by law, we will not sell, lease or share your
personal information with anyone else unless we notify you in advance.
- Cookies - When you visit our Website,
we set one or more cookies - a small file containing a string of characters -
to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. We use cookies to
improve the quality of our service by storing user preferences and tracking user
trends, such as how people search. Most browsers are initially set up to
accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to
indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some of our features and
services may not function properly if your cookies are disabled. We may allow
other companies that are presenting advertisements or providing services on our
pages to set and access cookies on your computer. Those companies’ use of
cookies will be covered by their own privacy policies, not ours.
- Log information - When you use our
services, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends
whenever you visit a website. These server logs may include information such
as your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language,
the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely
identify your browser. We may use this information to analyze trends, to help
us administer our Website, track the movement of visitors and to gather broad
demographic information for aggregate use. We may share aggregated demographic
information with third parties, but this information is not linked to any
personal information that can identify you or another individual person.
- User communications - When you send
email or other communication to us, we may retain those communications in order
to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve our services.
- Affiliated sites - We may offer some
of our services in connection with other web sites. Personal information that
you provide to those sites may be sent to us in order to deliver the service.We
process such information in accordance with this Privacy Statement. The
affiliated sites may have different privacy practices and we encourage you to
read their privacy policies.
- Links - We may present links in a
format that enables us to keep track of whether these links have been followed.
We use this information to improve the quality of our search technology,
customized content and advertising.
- Other sites - This Privacy Statement
applies to web sites and services that are owned and operated by Gclef.TV
and its affiliates. We do not exercise control over the sites displayed as
search results or links from within our various services. These other sites
may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or
solicit personal information from you.
- Business Transfers - It is possible
in the future that Gclef.TV or its affiliates or their assets may be sold,
or other transactions may occur in which customer information is one of the
business assets transferred. In such case, the customer information we have
gathered may be one of the business assets we transfer.
- Disclosures Required by Law - The law
requires that we may be required to share your personal information and
non-personal information (see "Cookies" section above for examples of
non-personal information) pursuant to judicial or governmental subpoenas,
warrants or orders. If we are required to do so, we will, of course, obey the
law. In addition, notwithstanding any term to the contrary in this Privacy
Policy, we reserve the right to use and disclose share your personal and
non-personal information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action
regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential
threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of the Gclef.TV
Website's Terms of Use, or as otherwise required by law.
We only process personal information for the purposes
described in this Privacy Statement and/or any privacy notices for specific
services. In addition to the above, such purposes include:
- Providing our products and services to
users, including the display of customized content and advertising;
- Auditing, research and analysis in order to
maintain, protect and improve our services;
- Ensuring the technical functioning of our
network; and
- Developing new services.
We process personal information on our servers in the
United States of America.We may process personal information to provide our own
services. In some cases, we may
process personal information on behalf of and according to the instructions of a
third party, such as our advertising partners.
Choices for personal information
We have your consent. We require opt-in consent for the sharing of any
sensitive personal information.
We provide such information to our
subsidiaries, affiliated companies or other trusted businesses or persons for
the purpose of processing personal information on our behalf. We require that
these parties agree to process such information based on our instructions and in
compliance with this Privacy Statement and any other appropriate confidentiality
and security measures.
We have a good faith belief that access,
use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to
(a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable
governmental request, (b) enforce our applicable Terms of Use, including
investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise
address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect against imminent
harm to the rights, property or safety of Gclef.TV, its users or the public
as required or permitted by law.
We may share with third parties certain pieces of
aggregated, non-personal information, such as the number of users who
searched for a particular term, for example, or how many users clicked on a
particular advertisement. Such information does not identify you
individually.
Information security
We take appropriate security measures to protect
against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or
destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data
collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as
physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where
we store personal data.
We restrict access to personal information to our
employees, contractors, and agents who need to know that information in order to
operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by
confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including
termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
Data integrity
Gclef.TV processes personal information only for
the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this Privacy
Statement or any applicable service-specific privacy notice. We review
our data collection, storage and processing practices to ensure that we only
collect, store and process the personal information needed to provide or improve
our services. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal
information we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our
users to update or correct their personal information whenever necessary.
Accessing and updating personal information
When you use our services, we make good faith efforts
to provide you with access to your personal information and either to correct
this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is
not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business
purposes. We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information
requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests,
and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or
systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of
others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning
information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise
required. In any case, where we provide information access and correction, we
perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a
disproportionate effort. Some of our services may have different
procedures to access, correct or delete users' personal information. If
so, we will provide the details for these procedures in the specific privacy
notices or FAQs for these services.
Enforcement
We regularly review our compliance with this Privacy
Statement. Please feel free to direct any questions or concerns regarding
this Privacy Statement or our treatment of personal information by contacting us
through the Gclef.TV Website. When we receive formal written
complaints, it is our policy to contact the complainant regarding his or her
concerns. We will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities,
including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding
the transfer of personal data that cannot be resolved between us and an
individual.
Changes to this Privacy Statement
Please note that this Privacy Statement may change
from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy
Statement without your explicit consent, and we expect most such changes will be
minor.
If you have any additional questions or concerns about this Privacy Statement,
please feel free to contact us any time through this web site.
