"Users") value their privacy. This Privacy Notice details important
information regarding the use and disclosure of User information
collected on the IndustryTV Sites. IndustryTV provides this Privacy
Notice to help you make an informed decision about whether to use or
continue using the IndustryTV Sites.
This Privacy Notice is incorporated into and is subject to the
IndustryTV Terms of Use.
Your use of the IndustryTV Sites and any personal information you
provide on the IndustryTV Sites remains subject to the terms of this
Privacy Notice and our Terms of
Use.
Please note that any video, image, or other content posted at the
direction of Users onto the IndustryTV Sites becomes published content

The Information IndustryTV Collects
- User Provided Information: You provide certain personally
identifiable information (such as your name and email address) to
IndustryTV when choosing to participate in various activities on the
IndustryTV Sites such as uploading videos, posting messages in our
forums or in the video comments section, entering contests or
sweepstakes, taking advantage of promotions, responding to surveys,
or subscribing to newsletters or other mailing lists.
- Cookies Information: When you visit the IndustryTV Sites,
we may send one or more cookies - a small text file containing a
string of alphanumeric characters - to your computer that uniquely
identifies your browser. IndustryTV uses both session cookies and
persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains after you close your
browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on
subsequent visits to the site. Persistent cookies can be removed by
following your web browser help file directions. A session cookie is
temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset
your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie
is being sent. However, some features of the IndustryTV Sites may
not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.
- Log File Information: When you use the IndustryTV Sites,
our servers automatically record certain information that your web
browser sends whenever you visit any website. These server logs may
include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol
("IP") address, browser type, browser language, referring / exit
pages and URLs, platform type, number of clicks, domain names,
landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount
of time spent on particular pages, the date and time of your
request, and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your
browser.
- Clear GIFs Information: When you use the IndustryTV
Sites, we may employ "clear GIFs" (a.k.a. Web Beacons) which are
used to track the online usage patterns of our Users anonymously
(i.e., in a non-personally-identifiable manner). In addition, we may
also use clear GIFs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track
which emails are opened by recipients.
The Way IndustryTV Uses Information
- If you submit personally identifiable information to us through
the IndustryTV Sites, then we use your personal information to
operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality
of the IndustryTV Sites.
- Any personal information or video content that you voluntarily
disclose online (on discussion boards, in messages and chat areas,
within your public profile page, etc.) becomes publicly available
and can be collected and used by others. Your account name (not your
email address) is displayed to other Users when you upload videos or
send messages through the IndustryTV Sites and other Users can
contact you through messages and comments. Any videos that you
submit to the IndustryTV Sites may be redistributed through the
internet and other media channels, and may be viewed by the general
public.
- 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 IndustryTV 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 IndustryTV Sites and
to create new features, promotions, functionality, and services by
storing, tracking, and analyzing User preferences and trends.
- We use cookies, clear gifs, and log file information to: (a)
remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during
your visit or the next time you visit the IndustryTV 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.
When IndustryTV Discloses Information
- We provide personally identifiable information and
non-personally-identifiable information to our subsidiaries,
affiliated companies, or other businesses or persons for the purpose
of processing such information on our behalf. We require that these
parties agree to process such information in compliance with our
privacy policy, and we use reasonable efforts to limit their use of
such information and to use other appropriate confidentiality and
security measures.
- We do not share your personally identifiable information (such
as name or email address) with other, third-party companies for
their commercial or marketing use 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 do share non-personally-identifiable information (such as
anonymous User usage data, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform
types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third-parties to
assist them in understanding the usage patterns for certain content,
services, advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality on the
IndustryTV Sites.
- We may release personally identifiable information and/or
non-personally-identifiable information if required to do so by law,
or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply
with state and federal laws (such as U.S. Copyright Law) or respond
to a court order, subpoena, or search warrant.
- IndustryTV also reserves the right to disclose personally
identifiable information and/or non-personally-identifiable
information that IndustryTV believes, in good faith, is appropriate
or necessary to enforce our
Terms of Use, take precautions against liability, to investigate
and defend itself against any third-party claims or allegations, to
assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security or
integrity of our web site, and to protect the rights, property, or
personal safety of IndustryTV, our Users or others.
Your Choices
You may, of course, decline to submit personally identifiable
information through the IndustryTV Sites, in which case IndustryTV may
not be able to provide certain services to you. You may update or
correct your personal profile information and email preferences at any
time by visiting your
account profile page. Please note that media files uploaded by Users
to the IndustryTV Sites cannot be removed and remain subject to our
Terms of Use.
To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such
as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting
you profile access or making corrections. You are responsible for
maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information
at all times.
Please contact IndustryTV with any questions or comments about this
Privacy Notice, your personal information, your consent, or your opt-in
or opt-out choices using this
contact form.
Third-party Advertisers, Links to Other Sites
IndustryTV allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or
ad networks, to serve advertisements within the IndustryTV 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
IndustryTV 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.
IndustryTV 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 IndustryTV 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
IndustryTV 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. IndustryTV's privacy policy does not apply to, and we
cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or web sites.
Currently, IndustryTV has relationships with the following
third-party ad servers or ad networks:
Our Commitment To Data Security
IndustryTV uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and
technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your
personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security
of any information you transmit to IndustryTV and you do so at your own
risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, IndustryTV makes
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems.
However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information
may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any
of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
If IndustryTV learns of a security systems breach, then we may
attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate
protective steps. IndustryTV may post a notice on the IndustryTV Sites
if a security breach occurs. Depending on where you live, you may have a
legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To
receive a free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your
consent from receiving electronic notice) you should notify us using
this contact form.
Our Commitment To Childrens' Privacy
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For
that reason, IndustryTV does not knowingly collect or maintain
personally identifiable information or non-personally-identifiable
information on the IndustryTV Sites from persons under 13 years of age,
and no part of our website is directed to persons under 13. If you are
under 13 years of age, then please do not use or access the IndustryTV
Sites at any time or in any manner. If IndustryTV learns that personally
identifiable information of persons under 13 years of age has been
collected on the IndustryTV Sites without verified parental consent,
then IndustryTV will take the appropriate steps to delete this
information.
Special Note to International Users
The IndustryTV Sites are hosted in the United States and are intended
for and directed to Users in the United States. If you are a User
accessing the IndustryTV Sites from the European Union, Asia, or any
other region with laws or regulations governing personal data
collection, use, and disclosure, that differ from United States laws,
please be advised that through your continued use of the IndustryTV
Sites, which are governed by U.S. law, this Privacy Notice, and our
Terms of Use, you are
transferring your personal information to the United States and you
consent to that transfer.
In the Event of Merger, Sale, or Bankruptcy
In the event that IndustryTV is acquired by or merged with a third
party entity, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to
transfer or assign the information we have collected from our Users as
part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In
the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the
application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors' rights
generally, we may not be able to control how your personal information
is treated, transferred, or used.
Changes and updates to this Privacy Notice
This Privacy Notice may be revised periodically and this will be
reflected by the "effective date" below. Please revisit this page to
stay aware of any changes. In general, we only use your personal
information in the manner described in the Privacy Notice in effect when
we received the personal information you provided. Your continued use of
the IndustryTV Sites constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Notice
and any future revisions.
For revisions to this Privacy Notice that may be materially less
restrictive on our use or disclosure of the personal information you
