Certain NpVideo Services are provided to you free-of-charge. There are some other NpVideo Services that, if you are interested in accessing them, will require payment by you. The NpVideo Services that may be accessed after payment are referred to currently as "NpVideo subscription."

What kinds of information does NpVideo collect about me?
This Privacy Policy covers the information NpVideo collects from NpVideo's registered users, including NpVideo Subscription subscribers, and other visitors to the Properties, whether or not they are registered. Generally speaking, we collect information from the following sources:
- information you give us, such as during registration or subscription;
- information automatically collected when you visit the NpVideo Site or use the NpVideo Services, such as via cookies; and
- information from other commercially available sources, such as data aggregators and public databases, or our business partners.
When you register with NpVideo or subscribe to NpVideo Subscription, we ask for personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, birth date, gender and address. If you subscribe to NpVideo Subscription, NpVideo also will collect credit card account data or other payment method data necessary to process your subscription payments and verify your assent to the purchase. From time to time, we may also ask you to provide other information about yourself on an optional basis, such as data we can use to tailor the advertisements served with the Content to your interests. If you choose to provide this information, you are giving NpVideo permission to use and store it consistent with this Privacy Policy. Therefore, when you sign in with NpVideo, you are not anonymous to us.
In addition, NpVideo automatically collects information about your interactions with the NpVideo Site and the NpVideo Services. For example, NpVideo automatically collects information about your interactions with video content on the NpVideo Site and on third-party sites that include our Video Player. In addition, NpVideo automatically receives and records information from your computer and browser, including your IP address, software and hardware attributes, the page you request, and cookie information.
We also may collect information about you from other sources, including through commercially available sources, such as data aggregators, public databases and business partners. This information may include your interests, purchasing behavior and your activities online, such as websites visited and advertisements viewed. We may combine all of the information we collect about you and use it in the manner described in this Privacy Policy.
What are cookies, and how are they and other technologies used to collect information?
Cookies are small bits of information that are stored in separate files within your computer's Internet browser. Cookies remember information about your activities on a website or other platform. For example, cookies can store your session for easy sign-in to a website or other platform you have previously visited. They enable us to make your visits to NpVideo more enjoyable.
NpVideo may display targeted advertisements based on your activities in connection with the NpVideo Services, which we obtain through cookies and other information about you that we have collected, such as your interests. NpVideo also may receive information from third parties about you and your activities on other sites that we use for the purpose of serving relevant advertisements to you in connection with the NpVideo Services.
NpVideo does not provide any personally identifiable information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad, although advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click targeted ads meet the targeting criteria. Please note that we may share aggregated and non-personally identifiable information with our advertisers so they can measure the effectiveness of advertisements viewed in connection with the NpVideo Services. For example, we may tell advertisers the number of users who clicked on a particular advertisement.
Some advertisements displayed in connection with the NpVideo Services also may contain cookies set by third party Internet advertisers (also called "ad networks" or "network advertisers"). We may use cookies and similar technologies to relate your use of the NpVideo Services to personally identifiable information we obtain from you or from reputable third parties, and to compile aggregate data (as described below). For example, if you have asked us to send you information about our upcoming services or promotions, cookie or clickstream data about your activities using the NpVideo Services may allow us to limit the materials we send to you to items that we believe will be of interest to you, based on your prior online activities and preferences. You can configure your Internet browser to warn you each time a cookie is being sent or to refuse cookies completely. However, unless you accept cookies, you will not have access to certain NpVideo Services.
We also may use services that collect data remotely by using so-called "pixel tags," "web beacons," "clear GIFs," or similar means (collectively, "Pixel Tags"), which can be embedded on the NpVideo Site, in an email message, or on a third party's website or other platform. A Pixel Tag is a small string of code that provides a way for us to deliver a small graphic image (usually invisible) on a web page or in an email. Pixel Tags can recognize certain types of information on your browser, check whether you have viewed a particular web page or email message, and determine, among other things, the time and date on which you viewed the Pixel Tag and the IP address of the computer from which it was viewed. We use Pixel Tags to improve your NpVideo experience, including to provide you with content customized to your interests.
The NpVideo Services may be linked to or provided through Internet websites or other platforms operated by other companies. Some of these websites or other platforms may be co-branded with our name or logo, even though they are not operated or maintained by us. For example, users can use the NpVideo Services on the websites of NpVideo's authorized third party distributors. NpVideo is not responsible for the privacy practices of the websites or other platforms operated by third parties. Once you have left the NpVideo Site by clicking on a link, or if you are using the NpVideo Services on another website or platform, you should check the privacy policy of the other website or platform to determine how it handles any personally identifiable information it collects from you.
NpVideo carries advertisements from other companies, often with the ability to click through to websites or properties run by these other companies. NpVideo is not responsible for the privacy practices of advertisers. Once you have left the NpVideo Site by clicking on an advertisement, you should check the privacy policy of the advertiser to determine how it handles any personally identifiable information it separately collects from you. Please be aware that NpVideo does not warn you when you have chosen to link through to another website or property from the NpVideo Site.
Some of the advertisements that appear in connection with the NpVideo Services may be delivered to you by third party Internet advertising companies (also called "ad networks" or "network advertisers"). These companies may use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect non-personally identifiable information about your visits to NpVideo in order to deliver advertisements to you, measure their effectiveness, and personalize advertising content. NpVideo does not have access to or control over cookies, web beacons or other technologies that they may use. The information practices of these advertising companies are governed by their own privacy policies and are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Some of these advertising companies may be members of the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI"), a cooperative of online marketing companies that offers a centralized tool for opting out of behavioral advertising delivered by each of its member companies. If you would like to obtain more information about the NAI and make choices about their use of your information, please click here.
How does NpVideo use the information it collects about me?
We only use payment information, such as credit card numbers, as necessary for completing a particular transaction or fulfilling a service (for example, processing payments from our NpVideo Subscription subscribers).
We use the other information we collect about you in order to establish and enhance our relationship with you and to help deliver a first-class user experience. NpVideo's use of this information includes the following general purposes: contacting you; customizing the content and advertising you view; fulfilling your requests for products or services; identifying the comments you post on the NpVideo Site; improving our services; conducting research; compiling aggregate data for internal and external business purposes; preventing potentially illegal activities; protecting our rights; and other uses in accordance with our Terms of Use; and for any other purpose disclosed to you at the time we collect your personally identifiable information.
We may use your personally identifiable information to:
- provide you with promotional information about NpVideo's features, services, and other offerings that may be of interest to you; or
- provide information or offers to you that are related to the NpVideo Services on behalf of NpVideo's business partners (please note that if we were to do this, we would not give those partners personally identifiable information, such as your name or address, unless you consent to sharing such information.
We use your first name and last name as your user ID on the NpVideo Site and in connection with the NpVideo Services. Therefore, if you register with NpVideo and provide this form of personally identifiable information, as well as other information that you do not set as private and we elect to display, it will be visible by other users or the public. We will not treat information that you voluntarily make available to other users — including, for example, in a review or discussion that you post on the NpVideo Services — as private.
In addition, this information will be revealed anytime you post information to the NpVideo Site in the future. Please note that you are not required to agree to have this information appear as your user ID, but if you do not agree, you will not be able to access some of the NpVideo Services. Once you have included your full name in your user ID, you will not be able to remove it, but you can always cancel your NpVideo account if you wish to do so via the link accessible on the Privacy and Settings page. NpVideo Subscription subscribers should review our Terms of Use for our policies on cancellations and refunds, available here.
With whom does NpVideo share the information it collects about me?
As described above, we may share information that we have collected about you with other users and with other entities that use the NpVideo Services if you voluntarily make the information public, including by making it a part of your user ID or posting it in a review or discussion on the NpVideo Site.
Only with your consent, we also may share your personally identifiable information (such as name or email address) with advertisers, business partners, and other entities that are not affiliated with NpVideo who would like to send you promotional information about their products and services directly. Under certain circumstances (for example, if you win a contest), we may post your personally identifiable information on the NpVideo Site and the other Properties. However, we will notify you of this possibility when collecting the personally identifiable information that we will use for this purpose, or we will obtain your consent prior to posting.
We may also share your personally identifiable information with companies that provide services to us, including companies that assist with payment processing, business analytics, data processing, account management, advertising, and other services. We require these companies to agree that they will only use personally identifiable information about you that they have obtained from us to provide us with specific services that we have requested and not for any other purpose. Similarly, we may share your personally identifiable information with other people or entities in order to provide goods or services that you have requested or to complete a transaction at your request.
We may also enter into agreements with outside companies that possess the technology that allows us to customize the advertising and marketing messages you receive while using the NpVideo Services. Your non-personally identifiable information and clickstream data about your activities may be shared with these companies so this customization can be accomplished. Our agreement with these companies restricts them from sharing your information with third parties or using it for any other purpose. Clickstream and demographic information may also be shared with our advertisers and business partners.
There may be instances when we may disclose personally identifiable information without providing you with a choice in order to protect the legal rights of NpVideo or its affiliates, and each of their respective investors, directors, officers, employees, agents, and suppliers; to protect the safety and security of users of the NpVideo Services or to enforce our Terms of Use; to protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or to comply with or respond to the law or legal process or a request for cooperation by a government entity, whether or not legally required.
If you notify us that you believe your legal rights have been violated by NpVideo or another user of the NpVideo Services, we may provide the information that you provide to us to others to the extent that we believe it is necessary to evaluate and respond to your complaint. For instance, if you submit a notice of copyright infringement to us, we may send a copy to the person or entity who uploaded, stored, or transmitted the material addressed by the communication.
If we sell all or part of our business, or make a sale or transfer of assets, or are otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy, we will transfer your personally identifiable information to one or more third parties as part of that transaction.
How does NpVideo use and share aggregate data?
Aggregate data is information that we collect on an individualized basis (for example, statistics about which videos you watch) but subsequently use in aggregate form (that is, in a way that combines information about individuals together so that no individual is identifiable). We may use aggregate data for a variety of purposes, including for research or analysis, website administration, advertising, and promotional purposes. Although aggregate data may be based in part on personally identifiable information about you (for example, we may want to know the general age range of visitors watching videos on our site), it does not identify you personally.
We may share aggregated information with various affiliated and unaffiliated entities. For example, IP addresses are used for system administration and to provide anonymous aggregated data to advertisers about the volume of use on the NpVideo Services and the specific NpVideo Services in which users are most interested. We also may share information about our users with advertisers so they can measure the effectiveness of advertisements viewed on the NpVideo Services. For example, we may tell advertisers the number of users who clicked on a particular advertisement. Because this form of data does not identify particular users, these third parties will not be able to contact you based solely on this data.
Do I have choices about NpVideo's use and sharing of the information it collects about me?
Yes, you have choices about our use and disclosure of the information that we collect about you. Although we require you to provide certain information about yourself if you wish to register on the NpVideo Site or subscribe to NpVideo Subscription, you have the choice about whether to disclose other personally identifiable information or other information about yourself. If you choose, you can disclose this information, for example, in your profile on the NpVideo Site, in surveys or in response to other requests for information from NpVideo or our business partners. In addition, you can disclose this information by sending emails to NpVideo or through the NpVideo Services, or by posting information on or through the NpVideo Services in discussions, reviews, or other postings that may be viewed by other users or the public.
NpVideo respects users' privacy. You may opt out of receiving alerts or email updates promoting our site, or notices about your queues or subscribed content. We also will not share your personally identifiable information (such as name or email address) with advertisers, business partners, or other entities that are not affiliated with NpVideo who would like to send you promotional information about their products and services directly, unless you have opted in to sharing such information. So, if you wish to receive additional communications relevant to you from us or third parties, such as alert messages about your favorite content, you will need to elect to receive them. Therefore, please take that opportunity to review and select your preferences carefully.
Regardless of your choices with respect to promotional communications and updates regarding content, we may send you administrative messages, service announcements, terms and conditions of your account, or other similar communications, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them. This is important in case we need to communicate with you about items such as your account, billing, payments, terms of use, pricing changes for NpVideo Subscription, website maintenance, and other non-promotional matters.
NpVideo Subscription subscribers should review our Terms of Use for our policies on cancellations and refunds, available here. Please note that, if you cancel your account, we may retain some information about you but we will remove your profile and other public postings from the NpVideo Site.
How does NpVideo protect the information it collects about me?
We use reasonable physical, technical, and administrative measures to safeguard personally identifiable information in our possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure, or modification. For example, passwords and other sensitive information are encrypted in transit. We also take steps to ensure that only those NpVideo employees, agents, and contractors who have a legitimate business reason to obtain access to your personally identifiable information are granted access.
When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card information on our order forms), our payment partners encrypt that information using secure sockets layering technology (SSL), an industry standard protocol for billing transmission in order to protect the financial information you send us. We store your payment information in encrypted form. Despite these efforts, please note that no data transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We want you to feel confident using the NpVideo Services but we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.
Do you collect information from children under the age of 13?
NpVideo prohibits registration or subscription by, and will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from, anyone under 13 years of age.
Cross-border data transfers
Information that npVideo.com collects may be stored and processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which npVideo.com operates to enable the use of the information in accordance with this privacy policy. In addition, personal information that you submit for publication on the website will be published on the internet and may be available around the world. You agree to such cross-border transfers of personal information.
What happens when NpVideo changes its Privacy Policy?
From time to time, we may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect industry initiatives or changes in the law or to the scope of the NpVideo Services or for other reasons. Therefore, it is important to check the effective date of the Privacy Policy posted at http://www.npVideo.com/privacy each time you visit the NpVideo Site or use any of the NpVideo Services to ensure you are familiar with the most updated policies and practices. If we make any material revisions to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by posting notice on the NpVideo Site or by sending you an email to the email address you most recently provided to us prior to such revisions taking effect. If the material revisions concern practices where we have represented that we will obtain your consent to use or disclose your personally identifiable information, we will obtain your consent before taking any action inconsistent with those representations.
Who can I contact if I have concerns about this Privacy Policy?
