Privacy Policy

Last MODIFIED: January 1, 2018

 

This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) (together with our Terms of Use available at http://www.brushmedia.com/knowtify/terms.html) explains how CTG Entertainment, LLC (“CTG”) may collect, use and disseminate your information obtained from the App.  The term “App” means CTG’s "Knowtify" application for mobile devices, and related content, software, applications, widgets, materials and/or services made available by CTG. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to CTG. “You” refers to you, as a user of the App.

 

We respect and are committed to maintaining the privacy of all users of the App. Your use of the App indicates that you accept our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use available at http://www.brushmedia.com/knowtify/terms.html, and consent to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information and other information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Any capitalized terms that are not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meaning defined in our Terms of Use.

 

 

1.   Scope of Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy covers the collection, treatment and use of any information gathered when you are using or accessing the App, including any information that personally identifies you (“Personal Information”). This Privacy Policy also covers our treatment of any information that our business partners share with us or that we share with our business partners.

 

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own or control, including but not limited to any third party websites, services or applications (“Third Party App”) that you elect to access through the App or to individuals that we do not manage or employ. While we attempt to facilitate access only to those Third Party Apps that share our respect for your privacy, we cannot take responsibility for the content or privacy policies of those Third Party Apps. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any Third Party App you access.

 

2.  What Information Do We Collect?

We may receive information about you from various sources, including your use of the App generally. The information we gather enables us to personalize, improve and continue to operate the App and to provide you with the services and information you request. In connection with certain aspects of the App, we may request, collect and/or display some of your Personal Information. We collect the following types of information from our users.

 

1. Account Information
   If you create an Account, you will provide information that could be Personal Information, such as your name, password and email address.  You acknowledge that this information may be personal to you, and by creating an Account on the App and providing Personal Information to us, you allow others, including us, to identify you and therefore you may not be anonymous.
   
   
2. Device Data
   As explained in our Terms of Service, when you download the App, the App will run in the background of your mobile device capturing information such as your device’s location, and accelerometer activity (“Device Data”). The App does not report this information to CTG and it is never transmitted to external servers or other third parties.
   
   
3. Information related to physical location
   Mobile devices allow you to control or disable location services in the device's setting's menu.
   
   

If you have questions about how to disable your device's location services, we recommend you contact your mobile service carrier or the manufacturer of your particular device. Disabling the App’s ability to monitor your location may prevent it from working as described and advertised.

 

3.  Our Use of Your Personal Information

We have the right to use Personal Information to:

 

• provide to you and communicate with you about the services, content, features or products you use or request;
  
  
• customize the content or advertisements you receive when you use the App, and otherwise improve your experience on our App;
  
  
• analyze and improve our services, which may include tracking traffic, usage, and navigation patterns related to your activities on the App and the links we provide to Third Party Apps or advertisements;
  
  
• secure your Account and prevent fraud; and
  
  
• protect our or third party rights or interests.

 

Upon creation of an Account, in the App, you opt-in to receive periodic messages from us, including changes to features of the App, newsletters, promotions and special offers. You may choose to opt out of receiving our newsletter or marketing emails by following the unsubscribe instructions included in these emails or you can contact us HERE. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, or special offers.

 

If you opt out, of such periodic messages, we still have the right to send you non-marketing emails. Non-marketing emails include emails about your Account and our business dealings with you.  We also reserve the right to contact you when we believe it is necessary, such as for Account recovery purposes or as required by law.

 

4.  Sharing Information with Third Parties

We shall have the right to share Personal Information in response to a valid law enforcement request or legal process, to protect our rights and property or those of third parties, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

We reserve the right to transfer Personal Information if we sell our business or some or all of our assets to another company in connection with a business merger or acquisition. We will require the recipient to notify you in advance of any material changes to the way in which information that identifies you personally will be used.

 

Additionally, in the following circumstances, we reserve the right to disclose your Personal Information without your consent:

 

• if we believe there is a serious and imminent threat to the life, health or safety of yourself or another person (for example, if we learn that a person is suffering abuse or has made statements of an intent to commit self-harm or harm another);
  
  
• to investigate or report on activity which we believe on reasonable grounds to be unlawful;
  
  
• if disclosure is required or authorized by law (for example, in response to a subpoena or where a regulatory authority has the power to request the provision of certain records or information);
  
  
• if disclosure is reasonably necessary to enable an enforcement body to perform its functions, for example the prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution or punishment of criminal offenses, or the preparation for, or conduct of, proceedings before any court or tribunal, or implementation of the orders of a court or tribunal; or
  
  
• if we deem it necessary in our sole discretion to protect our legal and legitimate business interests.

 

5.  Protecting Your Information

We take the security of your Personal Information very seriously, and have implemented policies and procedures, including technical measures, that are designed to help safeguard it.  Please remember that you play a valuable part in security as well. Your password to access our App, which you select at registration, should never be shared with anyone. While we strive to use best practices to protect your Personal Information, the Internet and computer technology is not 100% secure and we cannot absolutely ensure the security of any Personal Information that you provide to us.  Therefore, we cannot guarantee your absolute security when using our App.

 

6.  Compromise of Personal Information

We will promptly notify you if we have reason to believe your Personal Information has been compromised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CTG shall not be liable for any unintentional disclosure or a disclosure that occurs due to a security breach of our systems or facilities. You hereby release and discharge CTG, its employees, agents, licensees, successors and assigns from any and all claims, demands or causes of actions that you may have for libel, defamation, invasion of privacy or right of publicity, infringement of copyright or violation of any other right or claim arising out of or relating to any of the rights granted herein.

This Privacy Policy is effective as of the date stated at the top of this Privacy Policy.  It may be necessary from time to time for us to modify this policy to reflect changes in the way we collect and use information or changes in privacy-related laws, regulations, and industry standards. Accordingly, we reserve the right to change this policy at any time by posting the revised policy on this App and updating the “last modified” date at the top of this page. If the changes are material, we will provide you additional, prominent notice as appropriate under the circumstances, including by notifying you by email of such material changes. We encourage you to refer to this policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current privacy policy.
