eATNET, Inc. ("EATNET") recognizes that its customers, visitors,

Notice details important information regarding the use and disclosure
of User information collected on the EATNET Sites. EATNET provides
this Privacy Notice to help you make an informed decision about whether
to use or continue using the EATNET Sites.
This Privacy Notice is incorporated into and is subject to the EATNET
Terms of Use. Your use of the EATNET Sites and any personal information
you provide on the EATNET Sites remains subject to the terms of this
Privacy Notice and our Terms of Use.
Please note that any video, image, or other content posted at the

The Information EATNET Collects
-
User Provided Information: You provide certain personally
identifiable information (such as your name and email address) to
EATNET when choosing to participate in various activities on the EATNET
Sites such as uploading videos, posting messages in our forums or
in the video comments section, entering contests or sweepstakes, taking
advantage of promotions, responding to surveys, or subscribing to
newsletters or other mailing lists.
-
Cookies Information: When you visit the EATNET Sites, we may send
one or more cookies - a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric
characters - to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser.
EATNET uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent
cookie remains after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may
be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the site. Persistent
cookies can be removed by following your web browser help file directions.
A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your
browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to
indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the
EATNET Sites may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies
is disabled.
-
Log File Information: When you use the EATNET Sites, our servers automatically
record certain information that your web browser sends whenever you
visit any website. These server logs may include information such
as your web request, Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser
type, browser language, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform
type, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed
and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular
pages, the date and time of your request, and one or more cookies
that may uniquely identify your browser.
-
Clear GIFs Information: When you use the EATNET Sites, we may employ
"clear GIFs" (a.k.a. Web Beacons) which are used to track
the online usage patterns of our Users anonymously (i.e., in a non-personally-identifiable
manner). In addition, we may also use clear GIFs in HTML-based emails
sent to our users to track which emails are opened by recipients.
The Way EATNET Uses Information
-
If you submit personally identifiable information to us through
the EATNET Sites, then we use your personal information to operate,
maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the
EATNET Sites.
-
Any personal information or video content that you voluntarily disclose
online (on discussion boards, in messages and chat areas, within your
public profile page, etc.) becomes publicly available and can be collected
and used by others. Your account name (not your email address) is
displayed to other Users when you upload videos or send messages through
the EATNET Sites and other Users can contact you through messages
and comments. Any videos that you submit to the EATNET Sites 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 EATNET 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 EATNET 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) remember
information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit
or the next time you visit the EATNET 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.
When EATNET Discloses Information
-
We provide personally identifiable information and non-personally-identifiable
information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies, or other businesses
or persons for the purpose of processing such information on our behalf.
We require that these parties agree to process such information in
compliance with our privacy policy, and we use reasonable efforts
to limit their use of such information and to use other appropriate
confidentiality and security measures.
-
We do not share your personally identifiable information (such as
name or email address) with other, third-party companies for their
commercial or marketing use 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 do share non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous
User usage data, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform types,
number of clicks, etc.) with interested third-parties to assist them
in understanding the usage patterns for certain content, services,
advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality on the EATNET Sites.
-
We may release personally identifiable information and/or non-personally-identifiable
information if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief
that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws
(such as U.S. Copyright Law) or respond to a court order, subpoena,
or search warrant.
-
EATNET also reserves the right to disclose personally identifiable
information and/or non-personally-identifiable information that EATNET
believes, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to enforce our
Terms of Use, take precautions against liability, to investigate and
defend itself against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist
government enforcement agencies, to protect the security or integrity
of our web site, and to protect the rights, property, or personal
safety of EATNET, our Users or others.
Your Choices
You may, of course, decline to submit personally identifiable information
through the EATNET Sites, in which case EATNET may not be able to
provide certain services to you. You may update or correct your personal
profile information and email preferences at any time by visiting
your account profile page. Please note that media files uploaded by
Users to the EATNET Sites cannot be removed and remain subject to
our Terms of Use.
To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such
as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting
you profile access or making corrections. You are responsible for
maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information
at all times.
Please contact EATNET with any questions or comments about this Privacy
Notice, your personal information, your consent, or your opt-in or
opt-out choices using this contact form.
Our Commitment To Data Security
EATNET uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical
safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal
information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of
any information you transmit to EATNET and you do so at your own risk.
Once we receive your transmission of information, EATNET makes commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However,
please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may
not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any
of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
If EATNET learns of a security systems breach, then we may attempt
to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective
steps. EATNET may post a notice on the EATNET Sites if a security
breach occurs. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right
to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To receive a free
written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from
receiving electronic notice) you should notify us using this contact
form.
Our Commitment To Childrens' Privacy
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important.
For that reason, EATNET does not knowingly collect or maintain personally
identifiable information or non-personally-identifiable information
on the EATNET Sites from persons under 13 years of age, and no part
of our website is directed to persons under 13. If you are under 13
years of age, then please do not use or access the EATNET Sites at
any time or in any manner. If EATNET learns that personally identifiable
information of persons under 13 years of age has been collected on
the EATNET Sites without verified parental consent, then EATNET will
take the appropriate steps to delete this information.
Special Note to International Users
The EATNET Sites are hosted in the United States and are intended
for and directed to Users in the United States. If you are a User
accessing the EATNET Sites from the European Union, Asia, or any other
region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection,
use, and disclosure, that differ from United States laws, please be
advised that through your continued use of the EATNET Sites, which
are governed by U.S. law, this Privacy Notice, and our Terms of Use,
you are transferring your personal information to the United States
and you consent to that transfer.
In the Event of Merger, Sale, or Bankruptcy
In the event that EATNET is acquired by or merged with a third party
entity, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer
or assign the information we have collected from our Users as part
of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In
the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application
of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors' rights generally,
we may not be able to control how your personal information is treated,
transferred, or used.
Changes and updates to this Privacy Notice
This Privacy Notice may be revised periodically and this will be reflected
by the "effective date" below. Please revisit this page
to stay aware of any changes. In general, we only use your personal
information in the manner described in the Privacy Notice in effect
when we received the personal information you provided. Your continued
use of the EATNET Sites constitutes your agreement to this Privacy
Notice and any future revisions.
For revisions to this Privacy Notice that may be materially less restrictive
on our use or disclosure of the personal information you have already
provided to us, we will attempt to obtain your consent before implementing
such revisions with respect to such information.
