This Privacy Policy describes the collection, use and disclosure of information Streamyo LLC. ("Streamyo") receives and collects when you access or use Streamyo services from the Streamyo website (located at www.Streamyo.com) (the "Site") or when you access or use Streamyo services via the websites of our video service distribution partners (the "Partner Sites").
Streamyo Services.
Streamyo has developed and maintains a network of video content Producers, Viewers, and related technology, that facilitates the pay per view streaming and distribution of video content from participating Producers, to online users (the "Streamyo Services"). The Streamyo Services enable you to stream, share, watch, track and generate revenue from video content uploaded to the Streamyo library ("Videos").
This Privacy Policy describes how Streamyo strives to protect the privacy of: (i) artists or owners who create and submit Videos for distribution (our "Producers"); (ii) distributors or referral partners who share Videos through various online distribution methods, including websites, email or peer-to-peer networks (our "Affiliates"); (iii) users who view and/or interact with our Videos from our Site or from the Partner Sites ("Viewers"); (iv) visitors to the Streamyo Site who access our products or services or who submit reviews and comments to our Site (our "Visitors"); and (v) our members (those Producers, Sponsors, Affiliates, Viewers or Visitors) who register with Streamyo and create an account (our "Members").
Partner Sites.
Although you may access Videos and the Streamyo Services from Partner Sites, the Partner Sites are not governed by this Privacy Policy. Streamyo is not responsible for the privacy practices, policies or content of such Partner Sites. Streamyo encourages users to read the posted privacy policies whenever interacting with any website to learn more about the privacy practices of that website. Streamyo has no control over the use of a user's personal information by third party websites, including Partner Sites, and a Visitor should exercise caution when deciding to disclose any personally identifiable information. Partner Sites may use cookies and/or other data collection tools.
This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the Streamyo Member Agreement. Your use of the Site and any personal information you provide to Streamyo remains subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy and our Member Agreement.
1. Viewers: Viewing Videos
Information.
Streamyo does collect personally identifiable information (such as name, username, address, phone number or email address) from Viewers purchasing, viewing or interacting with Videos. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Streamyo does collect certain non-personally identifying information about a Viewer each time a Video is played: As you know, Streamyo is dedicated to rewarding Producers and Affiliates with a share of the Pay Per View revenue generated in connection with a Video. As part of this process, each time a Video is played, whether directly from the Site, from a Partner Site or from the Viewer's local media player. For each Video watched, Streamyo collects a Viewer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address and information that is specific to how a Viewer accesses and uses the Internet, as well as how they view and/or interact with Videos: these non-personally identifying details include, but are not limited to, the website you are logged onto, the geographic location of the IP address you are using to access the Internet, which and how many web pages you have viewed, search terms used, referring/exit pages, platform type and date/time information, the number and frequency of Viewers to each Video, the length of their viewing patterns, the type of browser (and browser language) you use when Watching a Video, the operating system your browser uses and what technology is available through your browser in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a Video (e.g., Flash or HTML) (collectively, with the identification of the Video watched, the "Technology Information").
Purpose.
The Technology Information Streamyo collects about Viewers is anonymous and does not personally identify a Viewer. It is obtained for the purpose of generally improving the Streamyo Services. Furthermore, Streamyo uses the Technology Information collected to analyze trends, audit Videos purchased and watched, identify our "most viewed" or "most popular" Videos, identify the geographic reach of our Videos, and identify the audience most likely to respond to Videos. This information may be shared with Streamyo's Producers, Affiliates, Sponsors, employees, business partners and affiliates. Streamyo may aggregate this information and share such aggregated information with interested third parties. In addition, Streamyo reserves the right to track IP addresses for the purposes of fraud prevention, and Streamyo reserves the right to release IP addresses to legal authorities.
Cookies.
Streamyo uses cookies to help it collect, maintain and use Technology Information. A cookie is a small data file that Streamyo transfers to a Viewer's computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes when the Viewer is served a Video facilitated by Streamyo. Cookies help Streamyo better understand the effectiveness of Video (for example, by tracking the way in which a Viewer responds to, selects and interacts with a Video or any content provided therein, or the location and context in which a Viewer views a Video). Please remember, Partner Sites are not governed by this Privacy Policy and Partner Sites may also use cookies and/or other data collection tools. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Streamyo Services and Site may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.
2. Visitors. Browsing the Site
The Site, which may be hosted in part or its entirety by a third party, is intended as a portal for Producers, Affiliates, Sponsors, Viewers, Visitors, business partners and affiliates to access and use the Streamyo Services (including purchasing, watching and interacting with Videos) and to offer information about Streamyo and the services it provides. The Site is designed so that a Visitor may generally browse it without the collection of any personally identifiable information (except for the Visitor's IP address). When a Visitor uses the Site, Streamyo may collect information, including some Technology Information, indirectly and automatically (through the use of cookies, as described in Section 1 above) about the Visitor's Site activity. Streamyo uses this activity information for internal purposes such as to administer the Site, improve and customize the Site, help Streamyo understand and analyze how the Site is being used and track aggregate Site usage.

5. (e) Streamyo may combine the information collected from Members on the Site with information that Members provide to Streamyo in connection with their use of other Streamyo Services.
Cookies.
When a Member uses the Site, Streamyo collects information indirectly and automatically through the use of both session cookies and persistent cookies (see Section 1, above, for more information on cookies). A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Site. Such cookies can be removed by following your web browser help file directions; however, some features of the Streamyo Services and Site may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled. Streamyo automatically collects a Member's Technology Information (including IP address), Site usage and Site activity information when a Member logs into their Account or while using the Streamyo Services. Streamyo uses this Site activity information to help Streamyo evaluate how its Members use and navigate the Site on an aggregate basis, including the number and frequency of Member visits, and the length of their visits. Streamyo also uses the non-permanent session cookie to track and maintain a Member's login status during their session on the Site. Streamyo also uses this information for internal purposes, such as to help Streamyo diagnose any server problems, administer the Site, improve and customize the Site, or help Streamyo understand and analyze how the Site is being used. Streamyo may link IP addresses to certain personally identifiable information only when reasonably necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, enforce applicable Member agreements, including investigation of potential violations thereof, or detect, prevent or protect Streamyo against or otherwise address criminal activity, fraud, security or technical issues.
Opt-Out.
If a Member does not wish to receive communications from Streamyo as contemplated under this Privacy Policy, such Member has the ability to stop receiving these mail communications by logging into their Account and accessing the "Account Preferences" screen in the Streamyo Site portal. Members will, however, always receive administrative emails from Streamyo that are related to the Streamyo Services.
Correcting/Updating Member Information.
Members can review, update and edit their Member Profile by logging into their Account and accessing the "Account Preferences" screen in the Streamyo Site portal.
Storing and Processing Member Profiles.
Member Profiles collected may be stored and processed in any country in which Streamyo maintains facilities. Consequently, by using our Site, participating in any Streamyo Services and/or providing us with your Member Profile information, Streamyo has the right to transfer information outside of your country, and you hereby consent to such transfer. If a Member registers an Account via a Partner Site or any website controlled by Streamyo or a Streamyo-related entity located outside of the United States, such Member Profile must be disclosed to Streamyo, which is located inside the United States, in order for the Member to access or use any Streamyo Services. Therefore, Member acknowledges and consents to the sharing of its Member Profile with Streamyo and Streamyo-related entities worldwide.
Data Security.
Streamyo stores Member Profile information in limited access servers. Streamyo will maintain commercially reasonable safeguards to protect the security of these servers and the Member Profiles. Although Streamyo strives to keep Member Profiles secure, no security measures are absolute or fool-proof, and there is always a possibility that a security breach could occur, resulting in the release of Profile information.
Transaction History.
A Member may unsubscribe from the Streamyo Services and request that Streamyo remove their Member Profile from the Streamyo databases. However, in order to resolve disputes, assist with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental requests or investigations, and due to technical constraints (including the fact that Streamyo backs up its systems), a Member's information and transaction history are never completely removed from the Streamyo databases.
4. General
Dispute Resolution.
Streamyo may use and disclose personally identifiable Member Profile information and/or non-personally identifiable information Streamyo obtains in special circumstances if Streamyo believes, in good faith, that Streamyo is required to do so, that such disclosures will potentially mitigate its liability, or are necessary for Streamyo to enforce its rights. For example, Streamyo may disclose information: (i) to appropriate authorities and/or to banks associated with a Member's Account in order to prevent or report suspected fraud and illegal activities; (ii) where it is necessary for Streamyo to enforce the applicable Member agreements; (iii) to resolve disputes, including disputes involving other Members or consumers, in connection with actual or potential parties to a lawsuit or actions that Streamyo is or may become involved in, and to identify potential liabilities and troubleshoot problems; or (iv) in order to prevent harm to any persons. In some cases, the government can compel the disclosure of information about a Member, and Streamyo will need to comply, in which case Member authorizes Streamyo to do so.
Third Party Links.
Streamyo may also use third-party advertising companies to serve or track purchases on the Site and other websites. Such companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to these websites in order to measure advertising effectiveness and to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you.

Forums & Correspondence.
Any personal information or Video content that you voluntarily upload to the Site or 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 Site users when you upload Videos or send messages through the Streamyo Site and other users can contact you through messages and comments.
