UKgate Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes the collection, use and disclosure of information UKgate Systems Ltd ("UKgate") receives and collects when you access or use UKgate services from the UKgate website (located at www.UKgate.com) (the "Site").

UKgate Services. UKgate has developed and maintains a network of video content creators, advertisers, and related technology, that facilitates the download and distribution of video content from participating creators, and links from participating advertisers, to online users (the "UKgate Services"). The UKgate Services enable you to download, share, watch, track, advertise on and generate revenue from video content uploaded to the UKgate library ("Videos").

This Privacy Policy describes how UKgate strives to protect the privacy.

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the UKgate Member Agreement. Your use of the Site and any personal information you provide to UKgate remains subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy and our Member Agreement.

1. Watchers: Interacting with Videos

Information. each time a Video is played, whether directly from the Site, or from the Watcher's local media after it has been downloaded, the UKgate QuickTime technology embedded in each Video requests an Ad from the UKgate servers. For each Video Ad request, UKgate collects a Watcher's Internet Protocol ("IP") address and information that is specific to how a Watcher accesses and uses the Internet, as well as how they view and/or interact with Videos: these non-personally identifying details include, but are not limited to, the website you are logged onto, the geographic location of the IP address you are using to access the Internet, which and how many web pages you have viewed, search terms used, referring/exit pages, platform type and date/time information, the number and frequency of Watchers to each Video and Ad, the length of their viewing patterns, the type of browser (and browser language) you use when Watching a Video, the operating system your browser uses and what technology is available through your browser in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a Video or Ad (e.g., Flash or HTML) (collectively, with the identification of the Video watched, the "Technology Information").
Purpose. The Technology Information UKgate collects about Watchers obtained for the purpose of monitoring when a member has watched a Video, measuring the Video and generally improving the UKgate Services. UKgate uses the Technology Information collected to analyse trends and audit Videos, identify our "most viewed" or "most popular" Videos, identify the audience most likely to respond to Videos. This information may be shared with UKgate's Makers, Sharers, employees, business partners and affiliates. UKgate may aggregate this information and share such aggregated information with interested third parties. In addition, UKgate reserves the right to track IP addresses for the purposes of fraud prevention, and UKgate reserves the right to release IP addresses to legal authorities.

2. Visitors. Browsing the Site

The Site, which may be hosted in part or its entirety by a third party, is intended as a portal for Makers, Sharers, Watchers, Visitors, business partners and affiliates to access and use the UKgate Services and to offer information about UKgate and the services it provides. The Site is designed so that a Visitor may generally browse it without the collection of any personally identifiable information (except for the Visitor's IP address). When a Visitor uses the Site, UKgate may collect information, including some Technology Information, indirectly and automatically about the Visitor's Site activity. UKgate uses this activity information for internal purposes such as to administer the Site, improve and customize the Site, help UKgate understand and analyze how the Site is being used and track aggregate Site usage.
The Site permits Visitors to watch or interact with Videos on the Site. The Site also permits members to log into their accounts and access some member-only services.

3. Members: Creating a UKgate Account

Participation in and access to certain features and functionality of the Site and UKgate Services, require you to register and create a member account (an "Account") with UKgate. You can choose not to register or provide certain information, but then you may not be able to access or participate in some of the UKgate Services.

This section of the Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect from our Members in conjunction with their access to, participation in and use of the UKgate Services and related UKgate technology and networks (including but not limited to uploading Videos and accessing their Account portal). To become a Member, you must be at least eighteen (18) years old and otherwise capable of forming legally binding contracts under applicable law.

UKgate is committed to maintaining the privacy of its Members.

Account Information. During Account registration, UKgate will collect personally identifiable information from a Member that may include name, address, email address, telephone and fax numbers, Account password, PayPal email address, birthdate and other personal information listed in the Account registration form (collectively, a "Member Profile"). We may also ask you to provide us with optional demographic information or information regarding your interests, hobbies or similar information to enhance your viewing experience.

Purpose. UKgate's primary goal in collecting a Member Profile is to communicate with such Member, provide such Member with a smooth and efficient experience of the UKgate Services, charge Students, pay Makers and Sharers and to operate, maintain and provide you certain features and functionalities of the UKgate Services. To this end, UKgate may share Member Profiles with third-party service providers and UKgate-related entities worldwide (e.g., its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries and their successors and assigns) in connection with payments and other aspects of operating and promoting the Site and the UKgate Services. We require that these entities agree to use such information based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. Except as explicitly stated herein, UKgate does not sell, rent or trade any Member Profiles to third parties.

Use. UKgate may use a Member Profile in the following ways:
1. (a) UKgate may use a Member's name, address, email address and telephone number: (i) to enable UKgate to process, validate and verify an Account; (ii) to contact the Member regarding Account activities or communications relevant to the UKgate Services; and (iii) to contact the Member about new or existing products and services or special offers.
2. (b) UKgate may use an Maker's: (i) name, address, account password in order to process and remit fees to such Maker and/or verify personal information and identity of the Maker.
3. (d) UKgate uses third-party processing companies (including credit card processing companies) for billing and payment purposes. These third parties may store or retain a Member Profile. These third parties do not have any right to use the Member Profile information UKgate provides to them beyond what is necessary to assist UKgate.
4. (e) UKgate may combine the information collected from Members on the Site with information that Members provide to UKgate in connection with their use of other UKgate Services.

Opt-Out.
If a Member does not wish to receive communications from UKgate as contemplated under this Privacy Policy, such Member has the ability to stop receiving these mail communications by logging into their Account and accessing the "Account Preferences" screen in the UKgate Site portal. Members will, however, always receive administrative emails from UKgate that are related to the UKgate Services.

Correcting/Updating Member Information.
Members can review, update and edit their Member Profile by logging into their Account and accessing the "Account Preferences" screen in the UKgate Site portal.

Storing and Processing Member Profiles.
Member Profiles collected may be stored and processed in any country in which UKgate maintains facilities. Consequently, by using our Site, participating in any UKgate Services and/or providing us with your Member Profile information, UKgate has the right to transfer information outside of your country, and you hereby consent to such transfer. If a Member registers an Account or any website controlled by UKgate or a UKgate-related entity located outside of the United States, such Member Profile must be disclosed to UKgate, which is located inside the United States, in order for the Member to access or use any UKgate Services. Therefore, Member acknowledges and consents to the sharing of its Member Profile with UKgate and UKgate-related entities worldwide.

Data Security.
UKgate stores Member Profile information in limited access servers. UKgate will maintain commercially reasonable safeguards to protect the security of these servers and the Member Profiles. Although UKgate strives to keep Member Profiles secure, no security measures are absolute or fool-proof, and there is always a possibility that a security breach could occur, resulting in the release of Profile information.

Transaction History.
A Member may unsubscribe from the UKgate Services and request that UKgate remove their Member Profile from the UKgate databases. However, in order to resolve disputes, assist with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental requests or investigations, and due to technical constraints (including the fact that UKgate backs up its systems), a Member's information and transaction history are never completely removed from the UKgate databases.

4. General

Dispute Resolution.
UKgate may use and disclose personally identifiable Member Profile information and/or non-personally identifiable information UKgate obtains in special circumstances if UKgate believes, in good faith, that UKgate is required to do so, that such disclosures will potentially mitigate its liability, or are necessary for UKgate to enforce its rights. For example, UKgate may disclose information: (i) to appropriate authorities and/or to banks associated with a Member's Account in order to prevent or report suspected fraud and illegal activities; (ii) where it is necessary for UKgate to enforce the applicable Member agreements; (iii) to resolve disputes, including disputes involving other Members or consumers, in connection with actual or potential parties to a lawsuit or actions that UKgate is or may become involved in, and to identify potential liabilities and troubleshoot problems; or (iv) in order to prevent harm to any persons. In some cases, the government can compel the disclosure of information about a Member, and UKgate will need to comply, in which case Member authorizes UKgate to do so.

Promotions and Surveys.
From time to time UKgate may ask Members, Visitors or Watchers to respond to surveys or participate in contests, sweepstakes and/or promotions. These activities are entirely voluntary and you may decline to respond or participate. If you choose to provide some of your personally identifiable information in response to a survey, contest, sweepstake and/or promotion, such information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the Site, administering the survey and/or promotion or the use and satisfaction of the UKgate Services.

Forums & Correspondence.
Any personal information or Video content that you voluntarily upload to the Site or 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 Site users when you upload Videos or send messages through the UKgate Site and other users can contact you through messages and comments. Any Videos that you submit to the UKgate Site may be redistributed through the internet and other media channels, and may be viewed by the general public. If you e-mail someone else a Video or other special feature from our Site, we may use the information you provide about someone else to send that person the requested e-mail. If you contact UKgate, or if third parties send UKgate email or other correspondence regarding your activities, UKgate may collect and use such information (including email addresses) in order to respond to the communication and send any relevant or requested information.

Corporate Changes.
UKgate may sell, transfer, assign or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including user information described in this Privacy Policy, in connection with a merger, consolidation, reorganization or sale of assets. In the unlikely event of bankruptcy or assignment for the benefit of creditors, we may not be able to control how your personal information is treated, transferred or used.

Our Policy Towards Children.
UKgate does not knowingly collect personal information from, and our Site is not directed to, children under the age of thirteen (13). If you are under 13 years of age, do not send any information about yourself to UKgate. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with Personal Information without their consent, please contact us support@UKgate.com.
