As you use our services, we want you to be clear how we are using the information that you provide to us and the ways in which you can protect your privacy.

DeepTruth values privacy rights. Our Privacy Policy is therefore adopted with a commitment to safeguarding your privacy rights. Your privacy matters to DeepTruth so whether you are new to DeepTruth or already a customer, please take the time to get to know our practices.

This Privacy Policy only applies to information collected through the DeepTruth.com web site, VideoLock.com, AudioLock.com, or its system and managed services (collectively, “Web Site”). It does not apply to information collected by DeepTruth in any other way, including information that is collected offline. Our Web Site and services are not directed at children under the age of 13 (See Children below).

DeepTruth reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Revisions to our Privacy Policy will be posted on the Web Site and will become effective immediately. You are advised to regularly check for updates and revisions. Your continuation of services provided by DeepTruth following revision or update of the Privacy Policy shall constitute your acceptance of the amended Privacy Policy.

1. No Sharing of Information

All information gathered through this Web Site is used by DeepTruth and DeepTruth staff and providers only for the benefit of its customers and users. DeepTruth does not sell or rent user information to anyone. DeepTruth does not share any personal information with third parties other than in two (2) exceptional cases: (1) when DeepTruth is legally compelled to do so; or (2) where disclosure is made at your request of or with your written consent. Therefore, unless required to do so as set forth above, we shall not respond to any inquiry from any third party unless we receive your written consent. If an inquiry is received without our having your advanced written consent to reply, we shall write to you requesting such consent. If DeepTruth is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, we will continue to ensure the confidentiality of any personal information and work to give affected users notice before personal information is transferred to or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Our site makes no representations with respect to the creation of profiles or the use of cookies by external web sites which may have links to or from our site or that may read and use information obtained from our site. We may also contract with various third parties who help us provide and maintain our search engine and Web Site technology. We may also use a third party to process payments and may subcontract out production, fulfillment, or other operations. In these cases, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such third parties from disclosing your personal information, except for the purpose of providing the services in question.

When we transfer your information to any third-party companies (e.g. analytics or web hosting vendors), we will ensure they maintain the same level of security as DeepTruth and only use the data in compliance with the relevant contractual requirements.

2. Gathering of Information/Log Files

We do collect personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, email address, phone number, and location, when you voluntarily provide it to us by registering with us or using our website. Once you become a user, you may provide additional information. We use that information to contact you or send you information regarding maintenance or updates when necessary. Our site receives feedback from subscribers primarily through email. This information is not shared with any third party except as set forth above or unless you authorize us to do so.

DeepTruth does not collect personally identifiable information to send out marketing materials. If you receive any such materials, however, you can Opt-Out of receiving marketing materials by emailing us at the following address: info@DeepTruth.com.

Additionally, every DeepTruth employee must abide by our Privacy Policy. Employees who violate our Privacy Policy are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination.

3. Use of Cookies

As part of its personalized services, DeepTruth may use cookies to store and sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Any information obtained from the cookies will be used solely to improve our products and services to you. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. Rejecting all cookies may limit your ability to access all areas and functionalities of the Web Site.

4. Links

For your convenience, we may provide links to certain third-party websites or referrals to certain third parties’ products or services. If you choose to visit a third party’s web site or use its products or services, please be aware that the third party’s privacy policy, and not our Privacy Policy, will govern your activities and any information disclosed by you while interacting with the third party. Additionally, please be aware that our Privacy Policy does not apply to: services or products offered by other companies, including but not limited to products or services that may be displayed to you in any search results; companies that may be included in DeepTruth services; or other companies linked with our Web Site, products or services. Our Privacy Policy does not cover any such information or practices by any such companies or organizations regardless of the technologies used to link to our Web Site, products or services.

5. Security

We have state-of-the-art security systems that are protecting your user account. However, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we do our utmost to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and all information which you transmit to DeepTruth is done at your own risk. We recommend that you do not divulge your user identification or password to anyone and that you do not provide access to your account to any third party. Also remember to sign out of your account, close the browser window and delete any cookies when you have completed your work.

6. Compromise of Personal Information

In the event that any personal information is compromised as a result of a breach of security, DeepTruth will promptly notify those persons whose personal information has been compromised by email, or as otherwise required by applicable law.

8. Children

DeepTruth does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 years. If we learn that we have collected the personal information of a child under the age of 13 years, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible.

9. International Users and Uses

DeepTruth is based in the United States. If you are coming to this Web Site from the EU or any other country with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from United States law, please note that you are transferring your personal data to the United States which does not have the same data protection laws as the EU, the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or such other region and by providing your personal data you agree to the use of your personal data for the purposes in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Additionally, please review the following link to the US Department of Commerce website with respect to international law and privacy policy: https://www.privacyshield.gov/.

The technical safety measures and data protection regulations in certain non-EU or non-EEA countries may not equal or comply with the safety measures and data protection regulations within the EU or the EEA and so the security or confidentiality of personal data cannot be guaranteed as equivalent to data handling within the EU or EEA. When passing on personal data for purposes stated in this Privacy Policy, it might not be possible to ensure an adequate level of data protection within the meaning of Article 49 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation.

By agreeing to this Privacy Policy, Customer therefore explicitly consents to the transfer of personal data to such non-EU or non-EEA countries although the level of data protection may be insufficient compared to the level mandated by the EU or EEA. If Customer refuses such data transfer, DeepTruth will not be able to provide Customer with the services that were ordered.

IF YOU PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION TO DEEPTRUTH THROUGH THE WEBSITE, OR OTHERWISE, YOU REPRESENT AND AFFIRM THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AND AUTHORITY TO DO SO AND THAT YOU HAVE OBTAINED ANY NECESSARY CONSENTS OR AUTHORIZATIONS TO PROVIDE ANY SUCH INFORMATION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFORMATION COVERED BY ANY DATA PROTECTION LEGISLATION OR REGULATION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE EUROPEAN UNION GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR), AND RELATED DATA PROTECTION LAWS.
