At Video Tax News Inc., we recognize the importance of protecting your privacy. When you order a service, register for a course, request information or initiate a business relationship, we require the collection of certain information about you in order to provide our services. We record your name, firm, address, email address and method of payment (e.g. credit card account number and expiry date.) Your credit card information is not kept on file unless requested by you. We use this information for customer service only e.g. contacting you regarding delivery, confirmations, invoices, follow-up seminar information and notice of upcoming seminars and services.

We do not sell, otherwise disclose, or share data we collect and hold about you, except as described in this Privacy Policy.  We may share your personal data with third parties as described below:

  • Third-party service providers who have been appointed as data processors to perform functions and services on our behalf and who will be provided only with personal data necessary to perform those services on our behalf but are not authorized by us to use such data for any other purposes (e.g., providers of services in respect of web hosting, payment processing, information technology systems, customer relationship management, booking and reservations management, marketing, auditing, administration).

  • If we are required to do so by law or pursuant to a legal process or to comply with any applicable rules or regulations, or in response to a legitimate request from a law enforcement authority or other government officials.

  • We reserve the right to transfer personal data about you in the event that we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets, in accordance with applicable law.  Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use data you have provided to us in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.

The security of your personal information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.  While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

By using this Site, you signify your acceptance of our Privacy Policy, and you adhere to the terms and conditions posted on the Site.  By submitting your information, you agree that it will be governed by our Privacy Policy.

When using our website please note:

Cookies

A cookie is a text file containing a unique identifying code that is automatically placed on your computer’s hard drive when you access our Website. The cookie is used to identify your computer when you visit our Website and to record information about your activities while you are visiting our Website.

We use cookies to deliver web content specific to your interests and to control access to certain content. A cookie cannot be used to access or otherwise compromise the data on your hard drive. You can always choose to change your browser settings to disable cookies, but this may limit your ability to perform certain functions on our Website.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we work with other reputable companies to analyze how our Website is used, and to optimize our Website to deliver an optimum user experience. 

The following companies help us achieve this through the use of cookies:

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users use our website. The information generated by these cookies (including your truncated IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your, and other users’, use of our website, compiling reports for us on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage. Please note that Google only receives your truncated IP address. This is sufficient for Google to identify (approximately) the country from which you are visiting our Website, but is not sufficient to individually identify you, your computer or mobile device.

You can find more information here, or by reviewing Google’s privacy policy.

To opt out of analysis by Google, refer to the Opting Out section of this policy.

 

Google Ads and Google Remarketing

We use the Google Ads online advertising program and Google Remarketing technology, both operated by Google Inc. (“Google").

For measuring conversion with Google Ads, a conversion tracking cookie is placed when a user clicks on a Video Tax News advertisement delivered by Google. 

Conversion tracking cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. Google uses a different cookie for each Google AdWords customer and there is no consolidation of the cookie data with other data. If you click on one of our Ads and proceed to a page equipped with a conversion tag and the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion is documented. With the help of the conversion tracking cookie we see the total number of conversions and are able to review the performance of our Ads. You can find more information about Google Ads here.

When you click on one of our Ads, a Google Remarketing cookie is placed. This cookie helps to serve our Ads to you at a later time when you browse pages of the Google content network. Remarketing cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. For more information on Google Remarketing, please see here.

To opt out of Google personalized ad serving, refer to the Opting Out section of this policy.

 

LinkedIn Insight Tag

We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag to understand how ads we may show you on LinkedIn lead to actions taken on our website. LinkedIn uses cookies to learn whether content has been shown to you or whether someone who was presented with an ad later came back and took an action (e.g., downloaded a white paper or made a purchase) on our website.

For further information regarding LinkedIn’s use of cookies for advertising purposes, please see Sections 1.4 and 2.4 of their Privacy Policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
