To understand how we treat the information you give us as you use
TVLesson, you should read this policy.
Personal Information
• Non-Account Activity. You can watch videos on TVLesson without having
a TVLesson Account. You can also contact us about a particular video
without having a TVLesson Account.
• Account-Related Activity. Certain other activities on TVLesson—like
uploading videos, posting comments, flagging videos, or watching
restricted videos—require you to have a TVLesson. We ask for some
personal information when you create a TVLesson Account, including your
email address and a password, which is used to protect your account from
unauthorized access.
• Usage Information. We may record information about your usage, such as
when you use TVLesson, the channels, groups, and favorites you subscribe
to, the contacts you communicate with, the videos you watch, and the
frequency and size of data transfers, as well as information you display
or click on in TVLesson (including UI elements, settings, and other
information). If you are logged in, we may associate that information
with your account. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. "Web Beacons") in
HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened by
recipients.
• Content Uploaded to Site. Any personal information or video content
that you voluntarily disclose online (on discussion boards, in messages
and chat areas, within your playback or profile pages, etc.) becomes
publicly available and can be collected and used by others.
Uses
• If you submit personally identifiable information to us through the
TVLesson Sites, we use your personal information to operate, maintain,
and provide to you the general and personalized features and
functionality of the TVLesson Sites, and to process any flagging
activity or correspondence you send to us.
• Your account name (not your email address) is displayed to other Users
when you upload videos or send messages through the TVLesson Sites and
other Users can contact you through messages and comments. Any videos
that you submit to the TVLesson Sites may be redistributed through the
internet and other media channels, and may be viewed by the general
public. If you have enabled Active Sharing, other users may see that
you, as identified by your account name (not your email address), are
watching the same video.
• We do not use your email address or other personally identifiable
information to send commercial or marketing messages without your
consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you
will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. We may, however, use your
email address without further consent for non-marketing or
administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major TVLesson Site
changes or for customer service purposes).
• We use both your personally identifiable information and certain
non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous user usage
data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, etc.) to
improve the quality and design of the TVLesson Sites and to create new
features, promotions, functionality, and services by storing, tracking,
analyzing, and processing user preferences and trends, as well as user
activity and communications.
• We use cookies, clear gifs, and log file information to: (a) store
information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit
or the next time you visit the TVLesson Sites; (b) provide custom,
personalized content and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of
our marketing campaigns; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total
number of visitors, pages viewed, etc.; and (e) track your entries,
submissions, and status in promotions, sweepstakes, and contests. If you
download the TVLesson Uploader, your copy of the of the Uploader
includes a unique application number. The unique application number and
information about your installation of the Uploader (e.g. version
number, language) will be sent to TVLesson when the Uploader
automatically checks for updates.
Your Choices
• You may, of course, decline to submit personally identifiable
information through the TVLesson Sites, in which case you can still view
videos and explore the TVLesson Sites, but TVLesson may not be able to
provide certain services to you. The privacy notices of those services
govern the use of your personal information associated with them.
• You may update or correct your personal profile information and email
preferences at any time.
• You may clear your viewing history at any time through the "Viewing
History" feature.
Third-party Advertisers, Links to Other Sites
TVLesson allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad
networks, to serve advertisements within the TVLesson Sites. These
third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly
to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on the
TVLesson Sites. They automatically receive your IP address when this
happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies,
JavaScript, or Web Beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their
advertisements and to personalize the advertising content you see.
TVLesson does not provide any personally identifiable information to
these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent or
except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have
the ability to opt-in or opt-out. However, please note that if an
advertiser asks TVLesson to show an advertisement to a certain audience
(for example, men ages 18-34) or audience segment (for example, men ages
18-24 who have viewed certain channels of content) and you respond to
that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you
fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach. The
advertiser may also use information regarding your use of the TVLesson
Sites, such as the number of times you viewed an ad (but not any
personally identifiable information), to determine which ads to deliver
to you.
You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party
ad servers or ad networks (see links below) for more information on
their practices and for instructions on how to opt-out of certain
practices. TVLesson's privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot
control the activities of, such other advertisers or web sites.
Modifying Your Personal Information
If you are a registered user of our Services, we provide
you with tools to access or modify the personal information
you provided to us and associated with your account.
Our Policy Towards Children
Our Services are not directed to people under 13. If you
become aware that your child has provided us with personal
information without your consent, please contact us at
privacy@tvlesson.com.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from
children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13
has provided us with personal information, we take steps to
remove such information and terminate the child's account.
Changes to this Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. The
most current version of the policy will govern our use of
your information and will always be at
http://tvlesson.com/privacy.php. If we make a change to
this policy that, in our sole discretion, is material, we
will notify you via an e-mail to the email associated
with your account. By continuing to access or use the
Services after those changes become effective, you agree to
be bound by the revised Privacy Policy.
