Anonymous Information Collected Via Technology

As you use the Website or Services, certain information may also be passively collected and stored on our or our service providers’ server logs, such as your Internet protocol address, media access control (MAC) address, browser type, operating system and the firmware and hardware versions that you are using. We also use Cookies and navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (URL) to gather information regarding the date and time of your visit and the solutions and information for which you searched and viewed, or on which of the advertisements displayed on the Website you clicked. This type of information is collected to make the Website or Services and solutions more useful to you and to tailor the experience with the Website or Services to meet your special interests and needs.

An “Internet protocol address” or “IP Address” is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet.  In some cases your IP Address stays the same from browser session to browser session; but if you use a consumer internet access provider, your IP Address probably varies from session to session.  We, or our service providers, may track your IP Address when you access the Website or Services.

“Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing a website.  We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience with the Website or Services.  Persistent Cookies can be removed by following your Internet browser help file directions.  If you choose to disable Cookies, some areas of the Website or Services may not work properly.

We may also enable advertisers and ad servers to promote third-party products and/or services by placing advertisements on the Website.  These advertisers and ad servers may use Cookies and/or “Web Beacons” (which are usually small, transparent graphic images) in order to monitor information related to served advertisements.  Clicking on such advertisements will direct you to the website of a third-party and the advertiser.  This Privacy Policy does not cover the privacy practices of any advertisers or ad servers.

Third-Party Websites

The Website or Services may contain links to other websites.  Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such other websites. We encourage our users to read the privacy statements of each and every website they visit.  This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by us through the Website or Services and does not apply to these third-party websites.  The ability to access information of third-parties from the Website or Services, or links to other websites or locations, is for your convenience and does not signify our endorsement of such third-parties, their services, other websites, locations or their contents.

Feedback

If you provide feedback to us, we may use and disclose such feedback for any purpose, provided we do not associate such feedback with your Personal Information. We will collect any information contained in such feedback and will treat the Personal Information in it in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Security and Confidentiality

CheckVideo has put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to protect the integrity and confidentiality of your Personal Information.  Despite such efforts, however, please note that no company, including us, can fully eliminate risks or guarantee the security of your Personal Information; unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of information about you at any time, and we bear no liability for uses or disclosures of personal data or non-personal data arising in connection with the theft thereof.

Changes in this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is a living document.  We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time.  We will post the changes to this Privacy Policy on the Website, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what Personal Information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.  At our discretion, we may email users who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them to the changes in our privacy practices.  It is your sole responsibility to check the Website from time to time to view any such changes to the terms of this Privacy Policy.  Continued use of our Website or Services following notice of such changes will indicate your acknowledgment of such changes and agreement to be bound by such changes.  If you do not agree to any changes, if and when such changes may be made to this Privacy Policy, you must cease access to the Website and use of the Services.  You give us permission to email you for the purpose of notification as described in this Section.
