African Video Library Privacy Notice
Updated as of 8th October 2007
The African Video Library Privacy Policy describes how African Video
Library and its subsidiaries treat personal information when you use
African Video Library services, including information provided when you
use African Video Library. In addition, the following describes privacy
practices specific to African Video Library. To understand how we treat
the information you give us as you use African Video Library, you should
read this policy and the African Video Library Privacy Policy.
Personal Information
• Non-Account Activity. You can watch videos on African Video
Library without having an African Video Library Account or an African
Video Library Account.
• Account-Related Activity. Certain other activities on African
Video Library—like uploading videos, posting comments, or watching
restricted videos—require you to have a African Video Library Account or
a African Video Library Account. We ask for some personal information
when you create an African Video Library Account or a African Video
Library Account, including your email address and a password, which is
used to protect your account from unauthorized access. An African Video
Library Account allows you to access many of our services that require
registration.
• Usage Information. We may record information about your usage,
such as when you use African Video Library, the channels, groups, and
favorites you subscribe to, the contacts you communicate with, and the
frequency and size of data transfers, as well as information you display
or click on in African Video Library (including UI elements, settings,
and other information). If you are logged in, we may associate that
information with your account. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. "Web
Beacons") in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails
are opened by recipients.
• Content Uploaded to Site. Any personal information or video
content that you voluntarily disclose online (on discussion boards, in
messages and chat areas, within your playback or profile pages, etc.)
becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by others.
Uses
• If you submit personally identifiable information to us through the
African Video Library Sites, we use your personal information to
operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of
the African Video Library Sites, as well as provide special personalized
features to you.
• Your account name (not your email address) is displayed to other Users
when you upload videos or send messages through the African Video
Library Site and other Users can contact you through messages and
comments. Any videos that you submit to the African Video Library Site
may be redistributed through the internet and other media channels, and
may be viewed by the general public.
• We do not use your email address or other personally identifiable
information to send commercial or marketing messages without your
consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you
will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. We may, however, use your
email address without further consent for non-marketing or
administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major African Video
Library Site changes or for customer service purposes).
• We use both your personally identifiable information and certain
non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage
data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, etc.) to
improve the quality and design of the African Video Library Sites and to
create new features, promotions, functionality, and services by storing,
tracking, and analyzing User preferences and trends.
• We use cookies, clear gifs, and log file information to: (a) store
information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit
or the next time you visit the African Video Library Sites; (b) provide
custom, personalized content and information; (c) monitor the
effectiveness of our marketing campaigns; (d) monitor aggregate metrics
such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, etc.; and (e) track your
entries, submissions, and status in promotions, sweepstakes, and
contests.
Your Choices
• You may, of course, decline to submit personally identifiable
information through the African Video Library Site, in which case you
can still view videos and explore the African Video Library Site, but
African Video Library may not be able to provide certain services to
you. Some advanced African Video Library features may, for
authentication purposes, require you to sign up for other African Video
Library services. The privacy notices of those services govern the use
of your personal information associated with them.
• You may update or correct your personal profile information and email
preferences at any time by visiting your account profile page.
