Relevancy Purposes: to provide Users with the most relevant experiences on our Platform and versions of our mobile applications.
Technical Purposes: to provide notices, updates, security alerts and support information; to analyze usage trends in the aggregate; and to administer our Platform. For mobile devices, we use analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our mobile software on your phone or tablet. This software may record information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data and from where the application was downloaded.
Customer Service Purposes: to communicate with you via email, SMS or other methods about questions or issues you may have.
Transactional Purposes: to contact Users with special offers, promotions, event notifications, to facilitate interactions with advertisers whose videos you have viewed.
Reporting Purposes: to share consumer data with fraud detection services, advertisers, product vendors and, when required by law, governmental agencies.
2. How does LGTV collect consumer data?
LGTV collects consumer data from sources in the following categories:
Direct from Consumer: information you provide to us directly, such as by creating a free user account (name, address and email), responding to advertiser offers or sharing videos.
Automatic Data Collection: collected automatically when you visit or register on our Platform, such as internet protocol (IP) address, device ID, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp and through the use of "cookies", “unique identifiers”, "pixel tags" and similar tracking technologies.
Third-Party Sources: information obtained from third parties, such as advertisers, the public domain, governmental and other public sources, commercial data aggregators, or through coops and exchanges where advertisers and Platform operators pool consumer data and make it available to other coop or exchange participants.
3. What consumer data does LGTV collect?

Identifying Data: such as name, address, phone number, e-mail address, cell phone number (for SMS purposes), User name and password.
Technical Data: such as IP address, MAID (Mobile Advertising ID), site traffic data and data on any Platforms that referred you to us.
Engagement Data: such as platform pages or videos you viewed, shared or liked, ads you viewed and/or clicked-on, and other interactions on our Platform.
Demographic Data: such as age, gender, income level, geographic area and other personal characteristics.
4. Does LGTV share consumer data with third-parties?
LGTV may share consumer data with third parties in the following categories:
Service Providers: such as optimization and attribution partners, email providers and other service providers who need access to consumer data to provide you with products and services you requested.
Reporting Partners: such as ad agencies, adtech platforms (demand-side, supply-side and data management platforms), to report on events that occur on our Platform, including advertising impressions, clicks and orders.
Targeting Partners: such as data management partners or other third parties who use Engagement, Affinity and Demographic information to align you with others in relevant groups based on common characteristics, interests and propensities to create anonymized marketing segments that may be shared with third-parties.
Marketing Partners, such as advertisers who wish to send special offers to our users.
Acquisition Partners: such as publishers and other third parties who display LGTV ads on their Platforms to help us attract new Users or retarget lapsed Users.
Media Intermediaries, such as buy-side advertising platforms, media vendors, brokers, agencies or other intermediaries that represent advertisers, publishers or others who may wish to match their audience against our audience to determine if they want to send offers to our Users.
Aggregators: such as data management platforms, advertisers and publishers, commercial data aggregators and coops and exchanges where advertisers and Platform operators pool consumer data and make it available to other coop or exchange participants.
Supporting Partners: such as marketing advisors, consultants and other third-party industry participants who work with us on a commercial basis or provide advice or services to us to support our business.
5. How does such third-party data-sharing occur?
We assign a unique generic user ID ("GUID") to each User. GUIDs are anonymized and contain no personally identifiable information. We use GUIDs to track and report on Users' engagement with our Platform and advertisers' content. GUIDs may be shared with third-party advertisers to facilitate and report on a User's engagement with advertisements or offers from such third parties. We may share a User's Google Advertising ID with application tracking companies so they can track and report to us whether a User has viewed, clicked on or accepted an advertiser's offer.
We may provide User contact information and data to selected third-party advertisers to present our Users with offers and information geared towards their interests. LGTV is not and cannot be responsible for the activities or privacy policies of these third parties.
Our applications may contain tools from third-party service providers that enable those third parties to collect and analyze non-personally identifiable information from Users' devices in accordance with such third parties' own privacy policies and subject to the legal requirements that apply to them.
In the event of a merger, acquisition or change of control of LGTV, customer data would be considered a business asset and would pass to the successor. We will disclose information we maintain when required to do so by law, as, for example, when necessary to respond to a subpoena or other court order. We may also disclose consumer data to protect the safety and security of our Users.
We may use other third-party vendors such as e-mail service providers to provide e-mail delivery services. We may share your consumer data to enable these third parties to provide these services. These third parties are prohibited from using your consumer data for any other purpose (including their own marketing purposes). We may share your personally identifiable information with our affiliates, technical consultants, auditors, attorneys and other third parties who work with us to make our Platform and services available.
6. What are cookies, unique identifiers and other tracking technologies?
LGTV and its partners use cookies, unique identifiers or similar technologies to recognize User access privileges to the Platform, analyze trends, administer the Platform, track Users’ movements around the Platform, add advertisements we think may interest you, estimate our audience size and gather demographic information about our User base as a whole.
A cookie is a small data file that a Platform can send to the browser on your computer when you link to that Platform. A cookie can hold information deposited in the file by the Platform, which can then be read by other sites. A cookie is not a computer program; it does not extract personal information about you or from your computer; and it does not read data on your hard drive or instruct your computer to perform any function. You may be able to use your browser to give you the option of accepting or rejecting a cookie whenever you visit a Platform. You may also be able to use your browser or other software to clear cookies from your browser any time you wish. However, deleting a Platform's cookie may mean that some features of our Platform will not operate correctly.
A unique identifier is an anonymous token or User ID that is unique to you and can be used to identify you when you return to our Platform or visit other Platforms. When you register for our Platform, we may create such a unique identifier, which may be an encoded or “hashed” version of your email address. We may share such unique identifiers with our trusted advertising partners and service providers to deliver advertising to you and enable access to content across the internet. Advertising partners and service providers with whom we work have committed to using unique identifiers to deliver relevant advertising that also respects consumer choices and preferences.
Besides cookies and unique identifiers, we may use web beacons, tracking pixels or similar tracking mechanisms to track your usage patterns on our Platform. Like cookies and unique identifiers, these small files do not store, record or share any personal information about you.
We may utilize third-party internet service providers to collect site traffic data through the use of such tracking technologies that can be embedded in our Platform. These service providers can then provide us with aggregate and anonymous usage data to allow us to improve our Platform. This usage data cannot be associated with any personal information we have about you.
7. Targeted or Behavioral Advertising:
We may use your Personal Information to tailor our marketing and advertising efforts. To do this, we may provide your information to third party advertising networks (such as Google Doubleclick) and social media companies (such as Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms). When we provide data to agencies, ad networks, and other parties for targeted advertising, we do not provide them with your name, financial information, or any sensitive information (such as a government ID or date of birth, if we have collected that). We use online identifiers such as email, cookie addresses, and device identifiers to help us provide targeted advertising to you and others like you. We may also use aggregate information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target. We may make use of the Personal Information we have collected from you to enable us to display advertisements to target audiences.
To opt out of targeted advertising, you may use the following links provided by third parties that manage opt outs for some ad networks:
Your choice to opt-out will indicate to advertising partners and service providers you no longer wish to receive targeted advertising based on your cookies, unique identifier or other technology. Opting out may limit your ability to access advertising-supported content; if you wish to access such content in the future, you may be asked to opt-in again.
Please note these methods will opt you out of targeted ads from LGTV and from other participating advertisers. If you opt-out, you may continue to receive online advertising from LGTV or such other advertisers; however, these ads will not be targeted to your interests and therefore may not be as relevant to you or directed to subjects in which you are interested. Moreover, if you prefer LGTV not sell your data to third parties, please send an email to privacy@lakegeorge.tv
8. Can I opt-out of receiving email from LGTV?
Yes. Receiving email from LGTV is always optional. If you are receiving LGTV promotional emails for one or more of our email programs and no longer wish to receive such communications, simply follow the "unsubscribe" instructions that appear in every LGTV e-mail. If you prefer, or have other questions, you can contact us via email at: privacy@lakegeorge.tv.
If you have provided consumer data directly to our third-party marketing partners and are receiving email communications directly from these third parties, LGTV cannot in most instances unsubscribe you from these third-party email programs. If you wish to unsubscribe from one of our marketing partners, please follow the unsubscribe procedures within their e-mails or in their privacy policy.
9. Can I opt-out of data collection and use by LGTV?
If you wish to request we no longer use your information to provide you with special offers and reminders please contact us at privacy@lkegeorge.tv. We must still retain and use your information for regulatory, record retention or archival purposes, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements, and for similar purposes. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.
Residents of some states have additional rights to control access to and use of their data. Please see the state-specific statements of privacy rights below.
10. What about third-party Platforms?
By clicking on hyperlinks or banner advertisements on our Platform, you may be redirected to Platforms owned and operated by advertisers and other third parties. LGTV does not control such Platforms or their owners and operators, and such Platforms are not subject to this Privacy Policy. Any data submitted on or collected by such a third-party Platform will be governed by the privacy policy on that Platform.
11. What does LGTV do to keep the Platform secure?
We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once it is received, including appropriate organizational, technological and physical safeguards commensurate with the sensitivity of the personal information in question. Although we believe the measures we take to safeguard your data are appropriate, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. To further protect your data, we recommend you use complex passwords for your accounts with us and for accounts with third parties you link to any of your accounts with us. Please do not use the same passwords you use for LGTV for other services or share your password with unauthorized people.
12. Does LGTV collect information from Users outside of the United States?
Our Platform is not intended to be used by visitors residing outside of the United States. Accordingly, LGTV does not intentionally collect information from persons outside of the United States or obtain information concerning such persons from third parties.
13. Does LGTV collect personal information from children?
Our Platform is not intended for or directed to persons under the age of eighteen, and LGTV does not intend to collect personal information from individuals in this age group. If LGTV receives actual notice that a person under the age of eighteen has provided personal information to LGTV we will promptly remove such information from its files.
14. Your California Privacy Rights:
If you are a California resident, California law may provide you with additional rights regarding our use of your Personal Information, such as the right to opt-out. If you do not want us to share your Personal Information with unaffiliated or non-agent third parties for promotional purposes, you can opt-out by emailing us at privacy@lakegeorge.tv.
You will be asked to provide certain information to exercise this option so we can verify your identity and locate your records with us. Please note your decision to opt out of the sharing of your Personal Information may impact the availability and quality of some of the Services provided to you. Furthermore, your information may still be shared pursuant to the terms of this Policy, where such sharing does not constitute a sale.
