Your "Watch Now information" includes certain technical information gathered or received when you use Watch Now. Some of the technical information that may be collected or received includes: the type of browser you are using (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type of operating system you are using (e.g., Windows or Mac OS), CPU type, your manner of connecting to the Internet (e.g., connection speed through narrowband or broadband access); Internet protocol address; Apps Installed; information about the version of service from an affiliate that you used prior to registering with the service; other information about your geographic location; and the domain name of your Internet service provider.
While registering to use most of the Watch Now services is not required, there are a limited number of optional services (for example, saving a video list) that require an "account". Registration functionality for Watch Now is provided by the Watch Now Network. If you choose to "Register an Account", you will need to register with and provide information to Watch Now. You will then obtain a Screen Name or other credential issued by Watch Now (collectively, "Screen Name") in order to access and use these optional services, and your Screen Name and associated services account will be subject to the Watch Now Terms of Service Agreement and Privacy Practices indicated in your registration process.
Your Watch Now information is used:
Your Watch Now information will not be shared with third parties unless it is necessary to fulfill a request, in other circumstances in which you have consented to the sharing of your Watch Now information, or except as described in this Privacy Policy. We may use your Watch Now information to present offers to you on behalf of business partners and advertisers. These business partners and advertisers may receive aggregate data about groups of Watch Now users, but do not receive information that personally identifies you.
If you use our communications tools to disclose information about yourself publicly (for example, by making your screen name and/or video lists publicly available), other online users may obtain access to any information you provide. The contents of your online communications, as well as other information about you as a Watch Now user, may be accessed and disclosed in response to legal process (for example, a court order, search warrant or subpoena); in other circumstances in which we believe Watch Now is being used in the commission of a crime; when we have a good faith belief that there is an emergency that poses a threat to the safety of you or another person; or when necessary either to protect our rights or property or the rights or property of our affiliated providers, or for us to render the service you have requested. We may use agents and contractors in order to help operate the service. If such agents and contractors have access to your Watch Now information, they are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy by, for example, not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for Watch Now.
In the event that ownership of us or the Watch Now service was to change as a result of a merger, acquisition or transfer to another company, your Watch Now information may be transferred. If such a transfer results in a material change in the use of your Watch Now information, we will provide notice about the choices you have to decline to permit such a transfer.
If you want to change your account information (for example, your Screen Name) you will need to log onto Watch Now and access your account through the forum. Your access to your account information and choice will be governed by the Watch Now policies.
