What type of PII does DietTV collect from you and how do we use it?

Registrants need to provide us with certain PII in order to use certain Website functionality and/or purchase our products through the Website. For instance, a Registrant must provide us with certain PII in order to purchase our products, including without limitation such Registrant's name, email address, and payment information. Registrants also must provide us with certain PII in order to use certain interactive Website functionality, such as blogs, message boards, and writing reviews, including without limitation such Registrant's name (or another identifying name) and email address.

 

DietTV may provide your PII to individuals or entities who work on our behalf or with us. These individuals or entities may use your PII to help fulfill your requests in connection with the Website and to help us communicate with you about different services or resources offered as part of the Website. For example, we may transfer certain of your PII or other information to service providers and other third parties who assist us in operating the Website or who help us in executing a request made by you. To this end, we share your PII with our e-commerce provider in order to fulfill purchases made by you through the Website.

 

DietTV also may share your PII with third parties for direct marketing and/or other purposes, and you acknowledge that the handling of your PII by such third parties will not be governed by the terms of the Privacy Policy but rather by whatever terms and conditions may be provided by such parties. If you would rather us not share your PII with any third party for direct marketing purposes, please either (1) do not submit PII to us, or (2) indicate your desire for us not to share your PII with third parties for direct marketing purposes by submitting such a request in writing (an "Opt-Out Request") to us at: DietTV, Inc., 25 Wade St. Brighton MA 02135 as well as by electronic mail at optout@diettv.com.

 

Please note that it may take several weeks for us to comply with your Opt-Out Request, and that until we are able to comply with such request we may continue to use your PII as described in the Privacy Policy. Please note that after receiving your Opt-Out Request, we may continue to maintain your name and other PII to help us ensure that we can honor such a request, to communicate to you about your registration account, and/or for other purposes not related to direct marketing by third parties.

 

Please note that if we receive your Opt-Out Request after having shared your PII with a third party for direct marketing and/or other purposes or having otherwise transferred or disposed of your PII, we may not have the ability to control the use of such PII by any third party, and in such an event we shall not be liable or otherwise responsible, directly or indirectly, for any damages or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of such PII by any such third party or resulting from any such transfer or disposition. If you are concerned about us sharing your PII with third parties or otherwise our transferring or disposing of your PII, you should not provide your PII to us.

 

Under what other circumstances may we release PII?

We may release your PII if we believe such release is necessary to comply with the law (e.g., a legal process or a statutory authorization) or a court order, to apply or enforce the Terms of Use, to protect our rights or property, to protect you from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of the Website, or if we reasonably believe that a danger to any person or property requires disclosure of such PII.

 

We are free to assign our rights and obligations under the Privacy Policy, which will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns and/or licensees. Without limitation of the foregoing, we may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of our assets, including without limitation your PII, with any parent company, subsidiary, affiliate, joint venture, as well as with a potential acquirer, including without limitation in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of assets or stock, or in the event of a bankruptcy. In each such an event, the PII we have collected from you may be one of the assets transferred to any such party.
