Privacy Policy
GNAT-TV Cloud Services Privacy Policy
PRIVACY POLICY
Your online privacy is important to Greater Northshire Access Television, Inc. (“GNAT”). As a requirement for use of our website we obtain certain types of information about our users. The following describes this information, what we do with it, and how to correct or change the information if you would like to do so.
SCOPE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy applies to the services, website and/or content made available by GNAT and its third party service providers (collectively the “Service”, “we”, and “us”). By using the Service you are consenting to collection and use of your information as outlined in this privacy policy, as well as to our Terms of Use.
INFORMATION COLLECTED
GNAT collects two types of information from users: personal data (such as names and e-mail addresses) (“Personal Data”); and aggregated information (such as ages and gender of users of the Service, how many users log into the Service on a regular basis daily, weekly etc.) (“Aggregated Information”).
Personal Data
Personal Data is collected through the registration process and use of the Service. Personal Data may include identifying information, such as name and email addresses, that will be used to generate your user profile.
Aggregated Information
Aggregated Information is collected through various methods: it may come from Service registrations, IP addresses, and your interactions with the Service. Aggregated Information may include but not be limited to age, gender, race, household income, and other information. We collect this information to help us personalize your experience with the Service by tailoring our content to your specific interests, as well as for us to better understand who uses our Service and to improve the Service accordingly.
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you’re surfing the web. We collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to provide aggregate data for customization. GNAT does not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information. Although your session on the Service will be logged through your username, this process will serve to track your session information, and collect Aggregated Information. If this Aggregated Information is published or transferred to any other person, it will be in an anonymous format. Aggregated Information may also include user IP addresses, device types, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of the Service.
USE OF DATA
In connection with the Service, we may collect data related to users, including but not limited to the names, email addresses, demographic information, stories or other material submitted by users as further described above (collectively the “Service Data”). All Service Data shall be the sole property of GNAT. Without limiting the foregoing, we may distribute, sell, license and otherwise use Service Data in aggregate form only (so that no user is personally identifiable) for services provided by GNAT to its partners, licensors, and other purposes.
We may use your Personal Data to send you advertising or promotional materials, including information about new features and enhancements, special offers and other events and items of interest. We agree that we will not disclose to third parties the following information: user names; user email addresses, physical addresses, without your consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we cooperate with government and law enforcement officials to enforce and comply with the law. We may therefore disclose personal information, usage data, message data, and any other information about you, if we reasonably deem that it is necessary to: (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process (such as a subpoena or court order), or enforceable governmental request; (b) enforce the Terms of Use, including investigation of potential violations thereof; (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; or (d) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of GNAT, its users or the public, as required or permitted by law.
As time passes, GNAT may be sold along with its assets, or other transactions may occur in which user data (including but not limited to Personal Data) is one of the business assets transferred. In such a case, the user data which we have gathered may be one of the business assets we transfer.
USE OF COOKIES
The Service does use cookies in a limited manner. A cookie is a small data file that most major websites write to your hard drive for record-keeping purposes when you visit them. Cookies allow measurement of activity in connection with the Service and to improve your user experience, for example, by remembering your passwords and viewing preferences, thus allowing you to interact with the Service without re-registering.
These cookies are not created or used to collect any information (aggregate or personal) about you at any time. You may occasionally get cookies from other sites, which is standard in the online world. GNAT does not control these cookies, and these cookies are not subject to our privacy policies.
You do not have to accept cookies to use the GNAT Service, however, you may not be able to use certain features or access certain areas if you do not accept cookies. Although most browsers are initially set to accept cookies, you may reset your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to reject cookies generally.
SECURITY
The Service has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. However, data transmission over the Internet or wireless networks cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure. Although we are committed to safeguarding your privacy and security, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. We urge you to keep any password that you establish with us in a safe place and not to divulge it to anyone. Also, to prevent others from accessing your account (especially if you are using your device or computer in a public place) please log off your account and close your browser window when you have finished visiting the Service.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
The Service may contain links to other sites, and those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as GNAT. For instance, if you click on a hyperlink on the GNAT website, this may take you away from www.gnat-tv.org and to an entirely different site. This can include links from advertisers, content providers, and others who may use the GNAT logo, brand, and or style as a result of a partnership arrangement. These sites may send their own cookies or other tracking technologies to you, and may collect and use data in ways that we would not. Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of third party websites. We encourage you to be aware of this when you leave the Service and to read the privacy policies of every website or application that collects personally identifiable information from you. The Privacy Policy applies only to the Service.
