Our Approach to Privacy. LeVideo respects your privacy. Our staff, contractors and others who help us operate our web site follow this policy on privacy and fair information practices for online activities of LeVideo, Inc.

This Privacy Policy applies to the web site owned by LeVideo, Inc., http://www.levideo.com, and shall be referred to hereafter as LeVideo.com.

While LeVideo, Inc. owns both a retail location and the website, LeVideo.com, this policy states LeVideo's Privacy Policy with regard only to data-collection practices on LeVideo.com.

By registering for services from, or as a member of LeVideo.com, you agree to accept this Privacy Policy and are aware that our policy may change over time as discussed below.

Overview of our Policy
The security of personal information is a high priority at LeVideo. We maintain these web sites and all associated data with technical, administrative and physical safeguards to protect against loss, unauthorized access, destruction, misuse, modification and improper disclosure. No computer system or information can ever be fully protected against every possible hazard. However, LeVideo is committed to providing reasonable and appropriate security controls to protect our web sites and their information against foreseeable hazards.

Changes to this Policy
This Privacy Policy will always be available to users on this page for you to read. We will update this privacy and fair information practices policy to reflect new features, services and options, as well as any other changes with regard to the use of personal information. Users will be notified by a notice on LeVideo.com of any significant update to our Privacy Policy. By registering as a member of LeVideo.com, you agree to accept this Privacy Policy and are aware that our policy may change over time.

We may ask you for Personally Identifiable Information at other times, including, but not limited to, when you enter sweepstakes, contests or promotions sponsored by a third party. If you choose to enter sweepstakes, contests or promotions of this nature, we may share your Personally Identifiable Information with the third party so they can contact you. The third party may use that information to send you advertisements or other notices, and it is possible that your information may be shared with others.

D. Surveys and User Research
LeVideo.com conducts email and web-delivered surveys from time to time, as well as instant polls, to gather information about our audience. It is important to remember that taking these surveys and polls is entirely optional. You have no obligation to respond to them. We share only the aggregate results of these surveys, not individual data, with our advertisers and partners to help them better understand our services and monitor the reach of their advertising on our service. We also store some of the information that our users provide in these surveys to help us understand your interests and to make the site more useful for you.

E. Use of Cookies
On the Internet, a "cookie" is a piece of information (a file) that a Web site transfers to a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. The use of cookies is common on the Internet. The process we use to serve advertisements and to track use of our site involves cookies. Cookies enable LeVideo.com to measure aggregate, or total usage and traffic to our site and to specific offerings. This aids us in producing content that best meets our users' preferences. In order to implement new services, we may use other types of cookies as well. We also may use cookies to understand better what parts of our site you like best. We may use that information to display advertisements that we think will be of particular interest to you. You may configure your browser to reject cookies, but this may interfere with some functionality of LeVideo.com. To find out more about changing your browser to reject cookies, we suggest the EPIC Cookies Page [http://www.epic.org/privacy/internet/cookies].

F. Other Third Parties
LeVideo.com may share non-personal, aggregate, or summary, information regarding our users with other third parties not mentioned in this policy. This kind of information does not identify you individually.

G. Merger or Acquisition
In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or the sale of LeVideo.com, LeVideo may transfer your Personally Identifiable Information to a third party as a part of such merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale.

H. Legal Authorities
LeVideo may also disclose Personally Identifiable Information in cases when we have reason to believe that it is necessary to identify someone who may be violating LeVideo.com's User Agreement or may be causing injury to LeVideo's rights or property, other users, or anyone else. LeVideo may disclose Personally Identifiable Information of our users to government authorities at our discretion.

Some of these sites will have their own separate membership processes and privacy policies. LeVideo does not control sites that are operated by others and so cannot be responsible for the information practices of these sites. Other sites may set their own cookies, collect data or solicit personal information. It is always a good idea to check the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use of any site before offering any of your personal information.
