This Privacy Policy was last updated on 09/11/2009.
Introduction: These websites which are located at
the domain nbcuni.com (the "Site") are operated by Viion Network, LLC. ("Viion Network, LLC" or “we” or “our” or “us”). Your privacy is important to us. This
Privacy Policy describes the types of information collected from you, what we do
with it, with whom we share it, and how you can correct or change such
information. It is your responsibility to review this Privacy Policy carefully,
especially before providing any personal data through the Site. This Site is
operated in and controlled from the United States of America. If you have any
questions about this Privacy Policy or Site, or if you wish to unsubscribe from
Site services for which you have previously registered, please contact us at
info@ViionNetwork.com or at the address at the end of this
policy.
PLEASE REVIEW THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND THE TERMS OF
SERVICE FOR THE SITE CAREFULLY. YOUR USE OF THIS SITE SIGNIFIES YOUR AGREEMENT
TO SUCH PRIVACY POLICY AND TERMS OF SERVICE.
1. Types
of Information Collected:
Personal Data:
Personally Identifiable Information (“Personal Data”) is any
information that can be used to identify a specific individual, such as your
name, email address, home address, phone number and credit card information.
This Site collects Personal Data when you interact with the Site for example
when you subscribe for newsletters; register for membership services such as
chat rooms or message boards; participate in chat rooms, blogs or other user
forums; respond to polls or surveys; purchase merchandise via the Site; register
for sweepstakes, contests and other promotional opportunities; or seek help from
our customer service departments. We also may collect information when you
purchase products or services offline, or register for wireless services via
your cellphone or other wireless devices (”Other Services”). Because providing
detailed information regarding our privacy policy when you register or provide
information in connection with these Other Services often proves impractical,
you may instead be provided with a short notice that reminds you to refer to
this Privacy Policy and other relevant information from us. We may also obtain
Personal Data from reputable third parties, such as credit
agencies.
Aggregate and Anonymous Data: Aggregate and
anonymous data is information that does not identify you specifically including
data collected automatically through the operation of the Site (“AA Data”). We
may collect site usage data (such as which Site pages you visit and in what
sequence) through the use of various technologies. For example, we collect IP
addresses from individuals who visit the Site. An IP address is a number that
is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web
servers, the computers that "serve up" Web pages, automatically identify your
computer by its IP address, and when you request a page from a website, its
servers log your IP address. We do not link IP addresses to any Personal Data,
so although your session will be logged, you will remain anonymous to us and the
Site. We may also collect password information from you when you log in, as
well as computer and connection information such as browser type or version.
During some visits, we may use software tools, such as Javascript, to measure
and collect session information, including page response times, download errors,
time spent on certain pages, page interaction information, and methods used to
browse away from the page.
2. Use of
Cookies and Similar Technologies:
Like many sites, we use "cookies"
or other similar technologies to collect AA Data. A cookie is a small data file
that writes to your hard drive for record keeping purposes when you visit the
Site. Cookies allow the Site to measure traffic activity on the Site and to
improve your user experience, for example by remembering your passwords and
viewing preferences, allowing you to visit “member only” portions of the Site
without re-registering, and tracking the progress and number of entries in
activities that require registration or entry, such as sweepstakes. Similarly,
if you have asked us to send you information about upcoming products and
promotions, using cookies we collect information about which Site pages you have
visited and in what order (“Clickstream Data”) that may allow us to narrow or
limit the materials provided to you based on your prior online activities or
preferences. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you
prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies
are being sent, but it is possible that some parts of the Site will not function
properly if you do so.
In addition, we may use a service that collects
data remotely by using so-called “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs” or
similar means (collectively, “Pixel Tags”) embedded in the Site’s content. A
Pixel Tag is an electronic image, often a single pixel (1x1), that is ordinarily
not visible to Site visitors and may be associated with cookies on the visitors’
hard drives. This information is AA data.
3. Our Use of Your
Data:
Personal Data: We will use your Personal
Data for the purposes for which it was provided. For example, if you provide
Personal Data to register for a newsletter or a text messaging service, to enter
a contest or a sweepstake, or to purchase goods or services, we will use it to
register you for or provide you with those goods or services. We may also use
your Personal Data to provide you with information about features, services and
other offerings that may be of interest to you. We also may send information or
offers to selected groups of Site users on behalf of other businesses. When we
do this, we do not give those businesses your name or address. Under certain
circumstances (for example if you win a contest) we may post your Personal Data
on the Site. We will notify you of this possibility when you provide the
Personal Data and, if possible, when the Personal Data is posted.
Cookies
and similar tools may be used to relate your use of the Site and AA Data to
Personal Data obtained from you. If any AA Data is linked with Personal Data,
the linked AA Data will then be treated as Personal Data.
AA
Data: We may also use Personal Data in aggregate form for purposes of
research or analysis. In order to better understand and serve the users of the
Site and Other Services, Viion Network, LLC often conducts research on its customer
demographics, interests and behavior based on Personal Data we gather. Although
this aggregated data may be based in part on Personal Data, it does not identify
you personally. Viion Network, LLC may share this type of AA Data with a variety of
third parties, including its affiliates, agents, and current and prospective
business partners.
We may use AA Data collected from the Site for site
administration, advertising and promotional purposes, and we may share such
information with various affiliated and unaffiliated entities for such
purposes. For example, IP addresses are used for the purposes of system
administration and to provide AA Data to advertisers about the volume of use on
the Site, and Clickstream Data and demographic AA Data may be shared with our
advertisers and business partners. We may also enter into agreements with
outside companies that possess technology that allows the Site to customize the
advertising and marketing messages you receive on the Site. This data
(including Clickstream Data about your activities on our Site) may be shared
with these companies for this purpose.
4. Disclosure of Personal
Data:
Disclosure to Affiliates: We reserve the
right to share Personal Data with our affiliates. If you do not want us to
share your Personal Data with our affiliated companies for their marketing
purposes, you may opt-out of such sharing by contacting us at
info@ViionNetwork.com (see “Your Choices” below).
Disclosure
to Third Parties: Viion Network, LLC, like many businesses, sometimes hires
other companies to perform certain business-related functions on our behalf such
as hosting specific portions of the Site, maintaining databases, administering
contests, providing wireless services, mailing information and processing
payments. When we employ a third party to perform these functions, that third
party will only be provided with the particular Personal Data it needs to
perform its function, and is required to protect the Personal Data. For
third-party sponsored sweepstakes, contests or promotions, we may request
Personal Data from you that may be shared with the sponsor upon request.
Disclosure to Others: In addition, we may disclose
Personal Data without providing you with a choice under the following limited
circumstances to: (1) protect the legal rights, privacy or safety of Viion Network, LLC or its subsidiaries, affiliates or its or their employees, agents and
contractors; (2) protect the safety and security of visitors to our web sites
or other properties; (3) protect against fraud or other illegal activity or for
risk management purposes; (4) respond to inquiries or requests from public
authorities; (5) permit us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages
that we may sustain; (6) enforce our Terms of Service; or (7) comply with the
law or legal process.
If Viion Network, LLC sells all or part of this Site or
makes a sale or transfer of assets or is otherwise involved in a merger or
business transfer, we may, in our sole discretion, transfer, sell or assign your
Personal Data to a third party as part of or in connection with that
transaction. Upon such transfer, the Privacy Policy of the acquiring entity may
govern the further use of your Personal Data.
5. Third-Party Advertising and Links to
Other Sites:
This Site may include third-party advertising. These
third parties’ websites and advertisers, or the Internet advertising companies
that work on their behalf, may use technology to send (or “serve”) the
advertisements that appear on our Site directly to your browser. They
automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use
cookies, Javascript, Pixel Tags and other technologies to deliver
advertisements, collect information about the effectiveness of their
advertisements, and to collect anonymous information about your visits to the
Site, such as the number of times you have viewed an ad (but not your name,
address, or other Personal Data). For more information about these specialized
cookies and other technologies, and how to "opt out" of information collection
by these companies, we suggest you visit http://doubleclick.net/privacy_policy or
http://networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp.

this Site contains links to other sites that will not follow the same Privacy
Policy as our Site. For instance, clicking on an advertisement or on links or
other elements on the Site may take you to an entirely different site. Links to
other sites may use our Site logo or style as a result of a co-branding
agreement. These sites may send their own cookies to you and may collect data
and make use of that data in ways that this Site would not. Once you've left
this Site, this Privacy Policy will no longer apply to Personal Data or any
other data collected from or provided by you. You should check the applicable
privacy policy to determine how that site will handle such data.
