Information Collection and Use
Videoworkouts collects information from our users at several different
points on our web site. When you use the web site, some basic, general
information is collected. This general information is used internally in
connection with our business to improve the web site, including our
marketing and advertising efforts. For each visitor to videoworkouts.com,
our Web server automatically recognizes only the consumer's domain name,
but not the e-mail address. We collect only the e-mail addresses of
those who post messages to our forum, the e-mail addresses of those who
communicate with us via e-mail and aggregate information on what pages
consumers access or visit, information volunteered by the consumer, such
as survey information and/or site registrations.
The information we collect is used to improve the content of our Web
page, used to notify consumers about updates to our Web site and never
shared with other organizations for commercial purposes. We do not sell,
share, or rent this information to a third party in any way other than
as disclosed in this privacy policy. We fully cooperate with law
enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for
illegal activities and may, in our sole discretion, disclose personal
information or other information to satisfy any law, regulation,
subpoena, or government request. We reserve the right to release
personal information or other information about users who we believe are
engaged in illegal activities or are otherwise in violation of our Terms
of Service, even without a subpoena, warrant or court order, if we
believe, in our sole discretion, that such disclosure is necessary or
appropriate to operate our web site or to protect the rights or property
of videoworkouts.com, our affiliates, or our officers, directors,
employees, agents, third-party content providers, suppliers, sponsors,
or licensors. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement
agencies any activities we reasonably believe in our sole discretion to
be unlawful. If we are legally compelled to disclose information about
you to a third party, we will attempt to notify you by sending an email
to the email address in our records unless doing so would violate the
law or unless you have not provided your email address to us.
Log Files and Sharing of General or Demographic Information
Like most standard web sites, we use log files on our servers. These
log files store information regarding IP (internet protocol) addresses,
browser type, ISP (internet service provider), referring/ exit pages,
platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks. These log files
are used to analyze trends, administer the web site, track user's
movements in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for
our use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personal information. We
will share aggregated, general or demographic information we collect
about our users and their use of our web site with our partners and
advertisers in a manner which does not identify any individual user.
