Privacy Policy
PROTECTING YOUR PRIVACY
Protecting your privacy, along with financial transactions, is at the core
of TVG's business. This notice describes the type of personally identifiable
information we collect and how we use such information.
TYPE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION COLLECTED
We collect, retain and use information about you to protect and administer
your account and funds; to comply with applicable state and federal laws and
regulations; and to help us design, improve and provide products and services
in order to better serve you. When you subscribe as a TVG customer or when you
submit a request or electronically pass information to TVG, you are sometimes
asked to provide certain information, such as your name, e-mail address, mailing
address, telephone numbers, social security number, birth date, credit card
or bank account information. We ask for this in order to facilitate your requests,
provide personalized services and communicate separately with you. Without your
written or electronic consent, we will not collect personal information over
our system unless it is necessary to provide you with our services or to prevent
unauthorized access to our services.
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
You have chosen to do business with us, and we recognize our obligation to
keep the information you provide to us secure and confidential. In our continuous
effort to provide services that we believe you may find useful or of value,
we may make your records available to better facilitate your requests, provide
more personalized services and communicate separately with you. From time to
time, we will use the information we collect to coordinate data entry and payments
with the company that provides you with handicapping information, to coordinate
marketing/rewards programs with partner racetracks, and to offer other enhancements
to the service. Any third party receiving such information will have an obligation
to hold it confidential. Without your written or electronic consent or where
necessary to provide our services, we will not disclose your personally identifiable
data to other companies outside of TVG or our affiliated companies. TVG does
not currently sell customer information to advertisers or third party marketers.
If we choose to do so in the future, we will provide you with information about
how to remove your name from such lists. You will be provided with at least
thirty (30) days within which to remove your name from such lists. If you would
prefer that we not share any of your information with third parties, except
under the circumstances where we are legally required, please contact us in
writing at TVG Network, 19545 NW Von Neumann Drive, Suite 210, Beaverton, OR
97006-6935 to this effect. In circumstances where we inadvertently obtain information
that appears to pertain to the commission of a crime or where we reasonably
believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical
injury to any person exists, TVG may voluntarily disclose the record or the
contents of your communications or other information about you to law enforcement
agencies and governmental entities without providing you advance notice. Upon
receipt of an applicable search warrant or administrative, grand jury or trial
subpoena, TVG may be required to disclose to the government or law enforcement
agencies, without advance notice to you, the content of your communications
and other records relating to your electronic communications, as well as the
following records: your name and address; records of your online communication
(including session times and duration); how long you have subscribed to our
service(s) (including start date) and the type(s) of service(s) utilized; your
telephone number or other subscriber account identifying number(s), including
any Internet or network address(es) assigned to you by our network; and the
means and source of your payment(s) (including any credit card or bank account
number).
PROTECTING ONLINE ACCOUNT INFORMATION AND TRANSACTIONS
When you apply online to establish an account, access services or utilize online
wagering, you provide personal and confidential information that is necessary
for us to process your request. To ensure that your information remains confidential,
the information is sent to us in a "secure session." Using the industry standard,
Secure Socket Layer (SSL)-capable web browsers support encryption technology
that helps prevent unauthorized users from viewing or manipulating your account
information as it travels over the Internet. We will permit only authorized
parties, who are trained in the proper handling of customer information, to
have access to that information. Employees who violate our privacy policy will
be subject to our disciplinary process.
RETENTION
We destroy customer information that is no longer necessary for the purpose
for which it is collected unless there is a legitimate request or order to inspect
the information still outstanding or the information remains in routine records
that are periodically discarded under our document retention policies. The information
that you have provided us is maintained in our management information system
and billing systems, and is updated as new information is added. Accounting
and billing records are retained for ten years for tax and accounting purposes
or until the relevant income tax years for which the document was created have
been closed for income tax purposes and/or all appeals have been exhausted.
Records may remain on file even after you have terminated service. Subject to
applicable law, we may also keep records to facilitate collection and to evaluate
credit worthiness.
YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
It is extremely important that you keep your account number, Personal Identification
Number and other confidential account data protected and secure. Do not share
your PIN or leave your computer unattended during an online wagering session.
Please make sure that all information you provide to TVG is accurate and complete.
