PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY BEFORE USING ANY OF SOULGARDEN.TV SERVICES. BY USING ANY SUCH SERVICES AND/OR NAVIGATING THROUGH THE WEBSITE YOU ARE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS POLICY AND THAT YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, SIMPLY EXIT THIS PAGE WITHOUT ACCESSING OR USING ANY OF OUR SERVICES.

Below you will find information on a number of topics, including:
• What personally identifiable information of yours is collected from you through the Website
• How the collected information is used
• With whom such information may be shared
• What choices are available to you regarding collection, use and distribution of the information
• The kind of security procedures that are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of information under our control
• How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information

General Information Collection and Use
Soulgarden.tv is the sole owner of the information collected on the Website. We will not sell, share or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this policy, without first obtaining your consent. Generally, we request this information when registering visitors to the Website or when visitors to the Website and/or registered users request a particular service. This information collected is used to register the user for the selected service and to contact the user about such service (e.g. e-mail address). Information required to be submitted to become a registered user may include name, e-mail address, license number and street address (as well as other types of information).

Personal Information Collected Through Access to Private & Premium Services

All personal information provided to Soulgarden.tv through your access to the premium services that the site offers – SG Elite readings, Soul Nirvana memberships, donations – is 100% confidential. We may contact you using this information in the normal course of business, to notify you of upcoming specials, to improve our customer service, or to investigate potential fraud and violations of our Terms and Conditions.

Cookies
A "cookie" is a piece of data stored on a user's hard drive containing information about the user. As part of offering and providing personalized services, we may use cookies in an effort to save you time while on our Website. If a user rejects the cookie, he or she may still have limited use of the Website. Generally we use cookies to:
• Remind us who you are and to access your account information
• Track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website
• Estimate our audience size and measure certain traffic patterns

IP Addresses

Every computer connected to the Internet is given an IP address. We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the Website, track users' movement and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information, and our web servers do not record the e-mail addresses of our visitors.


Links
This Website may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites, as this privacy policy applies solely to the Website. We encourage our users to remain vigilant when they leave our Website and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information.

Surveys
From time-to-time our Website may request information from users via surveys. Participation in these surveys, to the extent we run any, is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address) and demographic information (such as zip code and age level). Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of the Website.

Security
This Website takes numerous precautions to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the Website (e.g. credit card information), such information is protected both on- and offline. Using Paypal.com, we encrypt certain sensitive information using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to ensure that our visitors' information is safe as it is sent over the Internet to our server. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data that is transferred over the SSL connection. In addition, all of our users' sensitive information is restricted in our offices. While Soulgarden.tv employs commercially reasonable security measures to protect our data and seeks to partner with companies which do the same, we cannot absolutely guarantee the security of any data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and we therefore are not responsible for any breach of security or for any actions of any third parties that may receive any such information.

Legal Disclosure
We will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances (such as when we believe the law requires it). We may disclose or share aggregated demographic information with certain partners, affiliates and advertisers, however, except as described above, this is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person or company. In addition, Soulgarden.tv may disclose account or other personal information when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with Soulgarden.tv’s rights or property, other Website users or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.

Soulgarden.tv may also release personal information to appropriate governmental authorities under the following circumstances:
• Where release is required by law (for example, a subpoena) or regulation, or is requested by a government agency conducting investigations or proceedings
• Where our records indicate a company may be engaged in fraudulent activity or other deceptive practices that a governmental agency should be made aware of
As with any other business, it is possible that Soulgarden.tv in the future could merge with or be acquired by another company. If such an acquisition occurs, the successor company would have access to the information maintained by Soulgarden.tv, including customer account information, but would continue to be bound by this Privacy Policy unless and until it is amended as described herein.

Correction/Updating Personal Information

If your personally identifiable information changes at any time, please send an e-mail to livelovebe@soulgarden.tv.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes under the appropriate link on the home page of our Website so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. The new terms shall be effective immediately upon being posted on the Website. It is the responsibility of each user to review the latest terms from time to time, and if any user does not agree with any updates to the privacy policy, such user should immediately cease use of the Website and any purchased services.
