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.
Access to Other Sites Through LeVideo.com
Our Affiliates Sites. You should be aware that when you are on LeVideo.com,

You may also visit independent web sites, not operated by LeVideo, that
are connected to our network for our users. Such sites are operated
by external, third-party service providers. 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.
