Privacy Policy
 
Last Updated Feb 7, 2007

MeeVee, Inc. ("we" or "us") strives to offer our visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience. We may use Personally Identifiable Information (as defined below) collected from users ("you") of our website, which is currently located at http://www.meevee.com, or at any co-branded version of such website that contains a link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Site") subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy. Please note this Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by us online through the Site and does not impact information collected or used by us or our parents, subsidiaries, or affiliates through other means.

"Personally Identifiable Information" means information that can identify you as a specific individual, such as your name, street address, telephone number, and/or e-mail address.

This Privacy Policy and the use of the Site are governed by our Terms of Use, the terms of which are fully incorporated herein and contain, among other things, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution provisions. PLEASE READ THE TERMS OF US CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SITE.

Effective Date
This policy is effective as of the date it was last updated, as indicated above.

Consent
BY SUBMITTING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION TO US, AND/OR BY USING THE SITE, YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY COLLECT, USE AND DISCLOSE SUCH PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND AS PERMITTED OR REQUIRED BY LAW.

If you do not agree with these terms, do not provide any Personally Identifiable Information to us. If you refuse or withdraw your consent, or if you choose not to provide us with any required Personally Identifiable Information, we may not be able to provide you with products or services that can be offered on the Site only if we have access to certain Personally Identifiable Information.

How We Gather Information From Users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate, and the services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for access to certain portions of the Site or request certain features, such as our customized video guides, newsletters, news updates, and other products; when you make a purchase, or when you enter into certain arrangements with MeeVee, such as MeeVee’s Cooperating Member, Affiliate, or Partner programs. You also may provide information when you participate in sweepstakes, contests, giveaways, promotions, voting and polling activities, message boards and chat rooms, and other areas and programs developed in the future on the Site.

Like most websites, the Site also collects information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, each time you visit the Site, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider, your IP address, browser and computer type, access time, the webpage from which you came, and the webpages that you access during your visit. We also may use cookie technology to recognize you, validate your identity, and hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting the Site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through other means.

In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions of the Site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able to customize the Site’s features according to your preferences.

What We Do With The Information We Collect
Like other website publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising, and we sometimes permit our advertising and promotional partners to call to your attention products, special offers and unique content we believe might be of interest to you. We offer you the opportunity to elect not to receive direct communications sent by our advertisers or promotional partners, as described below.

"Aggregated Information" (information that does not personally identify you) may be used and shared in many ways. For example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to help enhance the Site and our services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.

We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on the Site to communicate with you about your registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy; our Cooperating Member, Affiliate, or Partner programs, other services, programs, and products offered by us, and/or any of our parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, or partners; and other topics we think you might find of interest. We reserve the right to share this information with other MeeVee, Inc. business units, parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, or with co-sponsors of sweepstakes, contests, giveaways, or other promotions.

Personally Identifiable Information collected on the Site may also be used and shared for other purposes, including but not limited to Site administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes, contests, giveaways, and other promotions, and other communications with you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation of the Site (our website hosting service and our newsletter provider, for example), sweepstakes administration, or other services for us may access such information in connection with their services.

In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell stock or assets to, buy, merge with, form joint ventures with, or otherwise collaborate with other companies or businesses. We may transfer user information, including without limitation Personally Identifiable Information, to the other companies or businesses involved in those transactions.

We also may disclose your information, including without limitation Personally Identifiable Information: (1) in response to a subpoena or court order, or at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law; (2) in connection with protection or exercise of our legal rights (such as without limitation the collection of amounts you may owe to us) or defense against legal claims; (3) to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary; (4) if we believe it is appropriate or necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person or property; or (5) if we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding significant abuse of the Site’s infrastructure or the Internet in general (such as spamming, denial of service attacks, or attempts to compromise security of information). Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.

Promotions
From time to time, you may be given the opportunity to participate in sweepstakes, contests, giveaways, or other promotions offered by MeeVee, either alone or with promotional partners. Participation in these promotions may require you to submit information about you, including Personally Identifiable Information. Our use and sharing of your information, including Personally Identifiable Information, collected through a promotion will be governed by the official rules or agreement governing that promotion, as well as by this Privacy Policy. The terms of those rules or that agreement will control over any conflicting provisions of this Privacy Policy.

Cooperating Member, Affiliate, Partner, and Other Programs
From time to time, you may be given the opportunity to participate in programs offered by MeeVee, either alone or with promotional partners, such as without limitation MeeVee’s Cooperating Member, Affiliate, Partner, and other programs. Participation in these programs may require you to submit information about you, including Personally Identifiable Information. Our use and sharing of your information, including Personally Identifiable Information, collected through any program will be governed by the rules or agreement governing that program, as well as by this Privacy Policy, and those rules or that agreement will control over any conflicting provisions of this Privacy Policy.

Referral Program
When you use a MeeVee referral program (the "Referral Program"), we may ask you to provide information such as your email address and your friends’ e-mail addresses. In return, you and your friends will be given the opportunity to register and become a user of MeeVee, and your friends will also be given the opportunity to make referrals to their friends. This feature helps us spread the word about MeeVee. During and after participation in the Referral Program you and/or your friends may receive additional communications from us or our vendors in relation to the Referral Program and you and/or your friends’ participation in it. The data collected through the Referral Program is only used for the operation and ongoing maintenance of the Referral Program and will not be distributed to any third parties other than those persons or companies that may be assisting us in the operation and maintenance of the Referral Program. You and your friends may opt-out of participation in the Referral Program at any time via opt-out links in all communications made to you and your friends through the Referral Program or by sending an email to either rewards_cs@MeeVee.com or rewards_support@MeeVee.com. Sometimes a particular Referral Program will be governed by its own rules or agreement. In those cases, our use and sharing of your information, including Personally Identifiable Information, collected through that Referral Program will be governed by those rules or that agreement, in addition to this Privacy Policy, and those rules or that agreement will control over any conflicting provisions of this Privacy Policy.

Your Choice To Opt Out
From time to time our advertising and promotional partners may use Personally Identifiable Information to call to your attention to products and offers they believe might interest you. If you prefer not to receive direct communications sent by our advertisers or promotional partners, you will be given an opportunity to decline before you provide us information we might use for this purpose. If you decline at the time you provide us with such information, you will not receive e-mail or other communications sent directly by our advertisers using information collected from the Site, though we may on occasion send you information on their behalf.

Access
You can modify your information and settings by logging in and selecting the My Settings button at the top of the page. Under Member Info, you can select to get emails from us or our advertising and promotional partners and the format of these emails. Please note that sometimes requests for updates may take up to ten (10) business days to process and that any information that we have copied may remain in back-up storage for some period of time after your request. We also will maintain information in our databases whenever we are required to do so by law. In addition, we are not responsible for removing information about you from the databases of any third parties to whom we were authorized to disclose your information prior to processing your request. Even if you decide not to receive communications from us, we reserve the right to send you administrative messages relating to the Site (e.g., about changes to this Privacy Policy) and to contact you regarding any goods or services you have ordered.

Affiliated Sites, Linked Sites and Advertisements
We expect our partners, advertisers, parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including our partners, advertisers, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and other content providers accessible through the Site, may have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example, during your visit to the Site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a page on the Site, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through the Site, you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, websites, features, contests, sweepstakes, giveaways, or promotions offered by other parties. We are not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third party.

While on the Site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For example, some advertising on the Site is served by third parties and may include cookies that enable the third party to use information (not including your Personally Identifiable Information) about your visit to the Site to provide advertisements about goods or services that may be of interest to you or to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by one of the Site’s advertisers, please click here. Other features available on the Site may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather information. We do not control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting information, and we are not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.

You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information on message boards, in chat areas or in any other area that intended for interaction with other users, that information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond our control and this Privacy Policy, and we are not responsible for any actions by such third parties.

Children
We encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests, including their television viewing habits. The Site is not intended for children under the age of thirteen (13), and we do not target the Site to children under the age of thirteen (13). We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personally Identifiable Information from or about children under thirteen (13) except as permitted by law. If we discover we have received any information from a child under thirteen (13) in violation of this Privacy Policy, we will delete that information in a timely fashion. If you believe we have collected any Personally Identifiable Information from or about anyone under thirteen (13), please contact us at the address listed below.

Protecting Your Information
We have implemented a security program to keep information that is stored in our systems protected from unauthorized access. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its security.

Changes To This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes to this Privacy Policy will mean you accept those changes. If any such change materially expands the manner in which we were permitted to use your Personally Identifiable Information prior to such change, you will have the opportunity to opt out of such use.

Location
The Site is controlled, operated and administered entirely within the United States. Because the Internet is global, however, information about you that we collect or that you submit may be transferred to, processed in, and held in countries (including the United States) other than the one in which you reside.
