ANTI-SPAM POLICY
OnTVCo.com does not send emails to anyone without permission and we do not sell or
provide email addresses to any third parties. If you receive any unsolicited emails
from spammers, OnTVCo.com does not provide email address to such parties.
WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DOES OnTVCo.com GATHER?
The information we learn from shoppers helps us personalize and continually improve
your shopping experience at OnTVCo.com and our participating merchants. Here are
the general types of information we gather.
INFORMATION YOU GIVE US
We receive and store any information you provide to us when you become an OnTVCo.com
member, communicate by email, telephone, or physical mail with our customer service,
or otherwise interact with us. Such information may include your name, address,
email address, shopping interests and preferences, transaction history, and other
personal data.
INFORMATION GATHERED AUTOMATICALLY
We also may collect your IP address, browser type, domain name, access times and
referring website address. This helps facilitate your online experience at our website.
In addition, we use cookies to track usage patterns at our site and to control the
display of ads, as well as to offer other functionalities (such as screening for
age, helping to track items in your shopping basket at sites that offer online shopping
opportunities, and "recognizing" you to speed up your log-in when you
visit our sites).
SUBSCRIPTIONS AND ORDERS
If you wish to place an order for products or services online, you must generally
establish a credit card account with us or our vendors. In addition to the customary
information needed to fill your order (full name, address, ship-to name and address,
gift information, etc.), subscriptions, and orders necessitate collection of additional
personal information, such as your credit card number and credit card expiration
date.
OTHER INFORMATION
We conduct market research in an effort to continually improve our publications and
websites and may purchase lists of potential subscribers or customers from third
parties. Those lists may include information on current subscribers or customers.
This information is included in our database. That helps us, for example, minimize
multiple mailings and e-mailings, and provide information tailored to your interests.
HOW DO WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Personal information is available to OnTVCo.com and its technical and fulfillment
agents and consultants who make this site and our publications, products and services
available to you. Anonymous information is available to our advertisers, sponsors,
and promotional and business partners. We share your personal information with third
parties only as described below.
OnTVCo.com AND IT’S AGENTS
OnTVCo.com may access both anonymous, aggregate demographic data and any personal
information you provide for internal marketing purposes, including sending you notices
of subscription renewal deadlines, new publications, services or products we offer
likely to be of interest, and filling subscription and other orders. To facilitate
subscriptions and orders, OnTVCo.com will cache your order information, and create
an authorization with a merchant account (i.e., your credit card company). There
are many companies who may be required to assist OnTVCo.com in making its publications,
products, and web sites available to you. Web host firms, technical and database
consultants, advertising agencies, and fulfillment firms, including firms assisting
us in offering contests and promotions, may have access to personally identifiable
information in the course of making our products and services available. All companies
working for OnTVCo.com must comply with our information collection, use and disclosure
policies, and are not permitted to sell your information to third parties or to
use it except as authorized by us and you, or as permitted or required by law.
PARTICIPATING VENDORS
Some of our sites offer opportunities to make purchases online from special participating
vendors. On sites with online purchase opportunities for products and merchandise,
we will also give participating manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, or distributors
the order information and authorization for the merchant bank. Any time you order
from a participating vendor, that vendor will automatically have all the information
related to the order. Participating vendors may use that information to advise you
directly of other products and offerings that they provide. OnTVCo.com is not responsible
for their privacy policies, and urges you to inquire about their information practices.
In addition, all vendors will receive the same anonymous, aggregate data that our
advertisers do.
CREDIT CARD COMPANIES
As in any transaction, your credit card company will have all relevant information
about the name of the vendor, item(s) purchased, and date and total cost. OnTVCo.com
will not otherwise provide any personal data to your credit card company.
IMPORTANT NOTE
We reserve the right to use or disclose any information without notice or consent
as needed to satisfy any law, regulation or legal request; to conduct investigations
of consumer complaints or possible breaches of law; to protect the integrity of
our site and our property; to protect the safety of our visitors or others; to fulfill
your requests; or to cooperate in any legal investigation.
HOW DO WE USE COOKIES?
Your Web browser offers so-called "cookies" which, if you allow their use,
store small amounts of data on your computer when you visit a website. Cookies do
not contain any personally identifiable information about you and therefore cannot
be used to identify you personally. Cookies assist us in tracking which of our features
you like best. Cookies also enable us to customize our content according to your
preferences. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying your
browser and our websites are viewable even if you disable the cookie function on
your browser. However, if you disable cookies, some advanced and customized features
or offerings will not be available to you.
SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt important information, such
as your credit card data, in an effort to prevent unauthorized access during transmission
of your orders over the Internet. We incorporate standard industry practices internally
and with our service providers suitable to the degree of sensitivity of the information
involved to maintain the security of your personal information and to avoid its
disclosure except as described in this policy. Your personal information may also
be protected by the password you created when you registered at one of our websites
where this feature is offered. The confidentiality of any password is yours to protect.
You may change it anytime by following the instructions at the website where you
registered.
Although we use our best efforts to assure that your data remains secure when maintained
by us, security during Internet transmissions can not be assured. OnTVCo.com employees
are made aware of its privacy practices through periodic communications and training.
We limit access to personal data only to those OnTVCo.com employees or agents with
a specific need to access or retrieve this information. We store data on multiple
service systems, in controlled, secure environments. To maintain the highest level
of security, we conduct internal reviews of our security measures on a regular basis.
Remember, however, that any personal information you post in chat rooms or message
boards is available to anyone.
LINKS
OnTVCo.com may offer links to or from Web sites it controls to other sites within
the OnTVCo.com family as well as to sites operated by third parties. We offer links
to third party sites so that you can conveniently visit our vendors and advertisers
or locate other content likely to be of interest. We are not responsible for the
content, practices or policies of sites operated by third parties and urge you to
inquire about them before providing any personally-identifiable information.
CHANGES IN CORPORATE STRUCTURE
In developing our business, we might sell certain assets, or the company, or parts
of it, may be sold, merged, or otherwise transferred. In such transactions, user
information, whether personally identifiable or otherwise, may be one of the transferred
assets.
