QH tube Privacy Policy
Welcome to QH tube, the personal online networking service. Your privacy is important to us and we have prepared this Privacy Policy to explain to you how we collect, use, and share your personal information. Because the Service is global, 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. By using the Service, you explicitly consent to the collection and use of your personal information as outlined in this Privacy Policy. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
Information We Automatically Collect
We automatically collect certain information to help us understand how our users use the Service (which we will refer to in this Privacy Policy collectively as "Usage Data"). For example, each time you use the Service we automatically collect your IP address and other information about your Internet connectivity. In addition, we use a technology called "cookies." A cookie is a piece of data that identifies you as a unique user. We use cookies to improve the quality of our Service and make the Service easier to use. We do this by storing information about a particular login session in cookies in order to provide you with a seamless experience during a particular login session. When you logout of the Service, your session cookie information is removed. From time to time we may share Usage Data with third parties. We do so, however, only in the aggregate and not in a manner that will enable the recipient to personally identify you (unless you have given us permission to do so). In addition, we may combine Usage Data with Personal Information (as defined below) in a manner that enables us to trace Usage Data to an individual user. We do so, however, only for our own internal purposes and will not share such combined data with third parties unless you have given us permission to do so.
Information You Choose To Submit
When you register to become a member of the Service, we collect your name, email address and whatever other personal information you choose to provide (which we will refer to in this Privacy Policy collectively as "Personal Information"). We use your Personal Information to notify you of new product releases, to send service notifications, to customize the advertising and content you see, to fulfill your requests for products and services, to improve our services, to conduct research, and to solicit your feedback and input about the Service. In addition, if you have opted into receiving newsletters or other communications from us, we use your Personal Information for that purpose. When you send messages through the Service, your user name will be identified in the message. Subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy, except for aggregate demographic information that we may share with third parties in a manner that does not link such information to any individual, we will not share your Personal Information with third parties unless you have given us permission to do so.
Your Profile, Media, and Friends
We reserve the right to make all of the following information about you available to all other users of the Service: (a) any information you choose to include in your Service profile (including, without limitation, your first name, last name, nickname, age, gender, astrological sign, occupation, availability, self-description, IM handles, favorite links, and where you live); (b) any videos or other personal media content you submit to us; (c) your QH tube user name and friends; (d) the groups to which you belong; and (e) the date you registered to become a member of, and last logged into, the Service.
Invitations and Messages
If you invite another person to join the Service, we will ask for that person’s name and email address. We use this information to contact and, if necessary, remind that person that he or she has been invited to join the Service. In addition, when you invite other members into your personal network or send messages through the Service, we collect and maintain the information associated with those messages (including email addresses and content) on secure servers.
Other Authorized Disclosures
Notwithstanding anything in this Privacy Policy to the contrary, you understand and agree that QH tube may access, preserve, and disclose any information we have collected about you or that you have submitted: (1) in response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish, protect, or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims; (2) to protect the rights and property of QH tube, its affiliates, or the public; (3) if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person; (4) to our parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control with QH tube(in which case we will require such entities to honor this Privacy Policy); and (5) if QH tube is acquired by or merged with another entity (in which case we will require such entity to assume our obligations under this Privacy Policy). In addition, QH tube may forward any counter notification that you submit pursuant to QH tube’s Terms of Service, and any related communications, to third parties.
Public Areas
Your use of areas of the Service that are intended for interaction with other users may reveal your user name and may allow you to publish certain personal information about you. By choosing to use these areas, you understand and agree that anyone with access to those areas may access and forward any information about you that is contained in or that you post to those areas. As with any social networking service, you should use care when disclosing your personal information to strangers.
Controlling Your Personal Information
The Service provides tools for you to control your profile and other personal information. You can edit your profile and other information at any time through the QH tube website. At any time, you can terminate your account which will remove your profile and other personal information from view.
Links to Other Sites
The Service may contain links to other Web sites. These other sites maintain their own policies regarding the collection and use of personal information.
Security
We use industry standard security measures, including encryption technology, to protect your information so that it is not made available to unauthorized parties. Information that you have provided is available only to groups where you have accepted an invitation to join, or groups you have started yourself. If you have any questions regarding which measures and techniques we use, feel free to contact us.
Changes
From time to time, QH tube may change this Privacy Policy. QH tube will post notice of any such change on the QH tube Web site located at www.QuarterhorseTube.com (the "Site"). You should visit the Site periodically to review any such changes because continued use of the Service following such notice shall indicate your acknowledgment and acceptance thereof. However, if we make any change that allows us to use your Personal Information in any materially different manner than we were permitted under the Privacy Policy in effect at the time you submitted such Personal Information, we will obtain your consent before making such materially different use.
Additional Questions
Again, feel free to contact us any time if you have further questions about the Service.
