How we
use cookies:
When you
access our website, we, or companies we hire to track how our
website is used, may place small data files called "cookies"
on your computer.
We send
a "session cookie" to your computer when you log in
to your account. This type of cookie helps us to recognize you
if you visit multiple pages on our site during the same session,
so that we don’t need to ask you for your password on each page.
Once you log out or close your browser, this cookie expires
and no longer has any effect.
We also
use longer-lasting cookies for other purposes such as to display
your e-mail address on our sign-in form, so that you don't need
to retype the e-mail address each time you log in to your account.
We encode
our cookies so that only we can interpret the information stored
in them. You are free to decline our cookies if your browser
permits, but doing so may interfere with your use of our website.
How we
protect and store personal information:
Throughout
this policy, we use the term "personal information"
to describe information that can be associated with a specific
person and can be used to identify that person. We do not consider
personal information to include information that has been anonymized
so that it does not identify a specific user.
We store
and process your personal information on our computers in the
US, and we protect it by maintaining physical, electronic and
procedural safeguards in compliance with applicable US federal
and state regulations. We use computer safeguards such as firewalls
and data encryption, we enforce physical access controls to
our buildings and files, and we authorize access to personal
information only for those employees who require it to fulfill
their job responsibilities.
How we
use the personal information we collect:
Our primary
purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you
with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. We
may use your personal information to:
provide
the services and customer support you request;
process transactions and send notices about your transactions
resolve disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot problems;
prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities, and
enforce our User Agreement;
customize, measure, and improve our services and the content
and layout of our website;
send you targeted marketing, service update notices, and promotional
offers based on your communication preferences;
compare information for accuracy and verify it with third
parties.
We may
share your personal information with:
Members
of the Global Online Television Corporation (GOTV) corporate
family to provide joint content and services (like registration,
transactions and customer support), to help detect and prevent
potentially illegal acts and violations of our policies, and
to guide decisions about their products, services and communications.
Members of our corporate family will use this information to
send you marketing communications only if you have requested
their services.
Service
providers under contract who help with parts of our business
operations; (fraud prevention, bill collection, marketing, technology
services). Our contracts dictate that these service providers
only use your information in connection with the services they
perform for us and not for their own benefit.
Companies
that we plan to merge with or be acquired by. (Should such a
combination occur, we will require that the new combined entity
follow this privacy policy with respect to your personal information.
If your personal information could be used contrary to this
policy, you will receive prior notice.)
Law enforcement,
government officials, or other third parties when
- we are
compelled to do so by a subpoena, court order or similar legal
procedure

to do so to comply with law

in good faith that the disclosure of personal information
is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss, to
report suspected illegal activity, or to investigate violations
of our User Agreement.
Other

Global Online
Television Corporation will not sell or rent any of your personal
information to third parties in the normal course of doing business
and only shares your personal information with third parties
as described in this policy.
How you
can restrict Global Online Television Corporation from sharing
your personal information:
Federal
and state laws allow you to restrict the sharing of your personal

only type of sharing of your personal information that you may
restrict is as follows:

purpose of marketing our jointly offered products to you, please
