1. INTRODUCTION

   Mobile Content Venture LLC (“MCV” or “we” or “us”) operates the website located at dyle.tv and all corresponding web pages and websites associated with the foregoing URL (each a “Dyle Website”), the Dyle branded applications (each a “Dyle Application”), and other content, features, functionality and other information and services offered by us from time to time though the Dyle Applications and/or the Dyle Websites, including when accessed via the Internet, mobile or other devices (collectively, the “Dyle Services”).  MCV is a United States based operation.

   As set forth in our Terms of Use [link], the Dyle Services are general audience, are not targeted to children, and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age.

   This Privacy Policy applies to all users, including both those who use a Dyle Service without being registered and those who have registered with a Dyle Service.  This Privacy Policy describes MCV’s collection and use of users’ personal information (e.g., information that identifies a specific person, such as full name or email address).  It also describes generally MCV’s practices for handling non-personally identifiable information (e.g., interests, demographics and site usage) to the extent such information is associated with a particular user or user account. Your access to and use of certain Dyle Services may also require you to accept additional terms and conditions or a privacy policy applicable to such Dyle Services.

2. SUBMISSION AND COLLECTION OF INFORMATION ON DYLE SERVICES

   User Submitted Information

   Registration Information is the information that users provide to register for a Dyle Service, for example, to use a Dyle Application, receive a newsletter or enter a contest or sweepstakes.  Registration Information may include, for example, name, email address, gender, zip code and birthday. 

   Public Information and Posts consist of comments or content that you post to the Dyle Services and the information about you that accompanies those posts or content, which may include a name and/or picture.  Public Information and Posts will always be public which means it will be available to everyone and may be displayed in search results on external search engines.   

   Third Party Information and Content.  If you access a Dyle Service through a third party connection or log-in, your user submitted information may also include your user ID and/or user name associated with that third party service, any information/content you have permitted the third party to share with MCV, and any information you have made public in connection with that third party service (collectively, “Third Party Information and Content”).  Third Party Information and Content may also include information that a third party service makes available to the Dyle Services without you connecting your third party service account to the Dyle Services, for example, information that you have made publicly available on the third party service.  Third Party Information and Content obtained in this manner will be governed by this Privacy Policy, any applicable policy of the third party and the terms and conditions and/or terms of use for Dyle Service.

   Information Collected by the Dyle Services

   Transactional and Activity Information. When you access the Dyle Services, we may collect certain information about those visits.  For example, in order to permit your connection to the Dyle Services, we may receive and record information about your computer and browser, including potentially your IP address, browser type, and other software or hardware information.  If you access the Dyle Services from a mobile or other device, your unique device identifier assigned to that device, your geolocation data, or other transactional information for that device may be collected.  Cookies and other tracking technologies (such as browser cookies, pixels, beacons, and Adobe Flash technology), which are comprised of small bits of data that often include an anonymous unique identifier may also be used.   Websites send this data to your browser when you first request a web page and then store the data on your computer so the website can access information when you make subsequent requests for pages from that site.  These technologies may be used to collect and store information about your usage of the Dyle Services, such as pages you have visited, search queries you have run, and advertisements you have seen.  The Dyle Services may also use cookies and similar tools to relate your use of the Dyle Services to personal information obtained from you or a third party.  For example, if you have asked us to provide you information about our upcoming products or promotions, cookie and/or click stream data about your activities on the Dyle Services may allow us to limit the materials we provide you to items we think you will find interesting, based on your prior activities and preferences. 

   Third parties that support the Dyle Services by serving advertisements or providing services, such as providing users with the ability to comment on content, allowing users to share content or tracking aggregate site usage statistics, may also use these technologies.  Dyle does not control these third party technologies and their use is governed by the privacy policies of the third parties using such technologies.  For more information about third party ad networks that use these technologies, see www.aboutads.info.

   Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies, but you can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether.  Please consult the "Help" section of your browser for more information (e.g., http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Block-or-allow-cookies).  Users can manage the use of Flash technologies, including cookies, with the Flash management tools available at Adobe’s website, see http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/security/privacy_policy/ faq.html[a2] .  Please note that by blocking any or all cookies you may not have access to certain features or personalization available through the Dyle Services.

   Third Parties.  To improve the quality of our services, we may supplement the information we collect with information we obtain from third parties.  If you access a Dyle Service through a third party connection or log-in, we may also collect Third Party Information and Content. 

3. NOTICE AND CHOICE

   Means of Notice and Choice.  This Privacy Policy is the primary means by which MCV provides you with notice about its collection and use of your personal information.   MCV will not use your personal information in a manner different from what is described in this Privacy Policy without your permission. 

   Privacy Policy Changes.  MCV may modify this Privacy Policy as necessary.  If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy that expand our rights to use your personal information, we will notify you to seek your consent through email or a prominent posting on the Dyle Services.

   Location of Data.  The Dyle Services are hosted in the United States.  If you are a user located outside the United States, you understand and consent to having any personal information you provide transferred to, processed and stored in the United States and other countries where data protection and other privacy laws may not be the same level of protection as in your jurisdiction.  This includes the use of cookies and other tracking technologies as described above.  As a result, please read this Privacy Policy with care.

   Linked Services.  The Dyle Services may also be linked to websites or services operated by MCV members (i.e., Fox Entertainment Group, Inc., NBC Universal, Inc., ION Media Networks and Pearl Mobile DTV Company, LLC and their affiliated companies, collectively, “Member Companies”) or third parties, and may carry advertisements or offer content, functionality, games, newsletters, contests or sweepstakes, or applications developed and maintained by third parties. MCV is not responsible for the privacy practices of any such third parties, and once you leave the Dyle Services via a link, enable a third party service, or click an advertisement, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the third party site.  Additionally, users who visit a Member Company site should still refer to its separate privacy policy, which may differ in some respects from this Privacy Policy.  This Privacy Policy does not apply to those websites that do not display or link to this Privacy Policy or have their own privacy statements.
