PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy covers how Useless Media Group collects, uses, maintains and discloses the personal information of Users of the Site. Personal information is information that is not otherwise publicly available, such as a User’s name, address, birth date, gender, email address, or phone number.  We may also collect non-personal information, such as the name of the browser or type of computer a User is using, and technical information about a User’s means of connection to the Site like the operating system or internet service provider the User is using.  We may change this Privacy Policy at any time.  If we do, we will notify all Users by a prominent notice on our site and/or by email notification to Users.

HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION

We may collect non-personal information when a User interacts with the Site.  Personal information may be collected when Users visit or register the Site, complete forms or surveys on the Site, use features, resources or programs on the Site, submit videos or other information to the Site, or any other interaction during which the User voluntarily submits the personal information.  Users may visit the Site anonymously, and we do not collect personal information that is not submitted voluntarily.

Our Site uses “cookies,” which are placed by the User’s web browser onto the User’s hard drive for record-keeping and, in some cases, information tracking.  This Privacy Policy does not cover information collected by cookies.  The User may choose to disable the use of cookies.  However, some portions of the Site may not function properly if the User chooses to do so. 

HOW WE USE INFORMATION

We may use the information that we collect in the following ways:  To operate the Site, improve customer service and personalize the User’s experience on our Site, to improve our Site and our products and services, to process payments, to run promotions or contests, to manage reviews and ratings, and to send periodic emails. 

We may use the information we collect to display targeted advertising.  We do not share any of the personal information with advertisers.  However, advertisers and ad-serving companies on our Site may assume that a User who clicks on a specific ad meet certain criteria (for example, males ages 18-34).

HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

We will only share personal information with other people or companies under the following circumstances: to provide products or services a User has requested, when the User has given permission for the personal information to be disclosed; if we have a parent’s permission to share information of a User under the age of 13; if required or requested due to legal process (including, but not limited to, responding to subpoenas, court orders and  law enforcement requests, or to exercise or establish our legal rights and defend against legal claims); if we believe that it is necessary to share the information in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding physical threats against any person or other illegal activities, violations of our terms of use or otherwise as required by law.

We do not sell, trade or rent User’s personal information.  Aggregate demographic information may be shared, so long as such information is not tied to personal identification of the individual Users.  This Privacy Policy DOES NOT apply to any third-party websites, even if those websites are access through links or advertisement on our Site.

HOW WE PROTECT INFORMATION

We limit access to personal information to those employees who reasonable need to have access to such information to do their jobs, and provide products and services requested by Users.  We have appropriate security measures and processing practices in place to protect the personal information we collect and prevent theft or destruction of personal information of Users.
