Privacy Policy As your privacy is important to us, G-Cube has prepared this privacy web page so that you may better understand how your personal information is used in connection with G-Cubeīs online services. Please take the time to review this page and contact us at privacy@gggcube.com with any questions or concerns. This Statement of Privacy & Security applies to G-Cubeīs family of Web sites, customer telephone surveys, product registration cards and customer support helpdesk communications and governs data collection and usage at all of these G-Cube sites and services. G-Cube provides a general audience web site. Personal information of all users is collected, used and disclosed as described in this Statement of Privacy & Security. Collection of your Personal Information G-Cube may ask you to register and provide personal information in certain instances, such as when you purchase products from the Specialty Store, download free software, register new products, enter a contest or sweepstakes or sign into a page that requires authorization. G-Cube may also collect financial information to bill you for products and services that you purchased online. This personal information may include your name, e-mail address, user ID, address and telephone number. G-Cube may also collect demographic information, such as your age, gender, zip code/postal code, education level, household income, preferences, interests, favorites and whether you are a personal or business user. Collection of Other Information System Configuration Information: G-Cube automatically collects on our server logs certain information about your computer hardware and software when you visit our Web site or use G-Cubeīs online services, such as G-Cube Desktop Messenger (“LDM”). This information may include: your IP address, cookie information, globally unique identifier system, operating system, description of any G-Cube products connected and how such products are used, browser type, domain names, access times, service provider and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by G-Cube to monitor the operation of our Web site and online services and the use of its products, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of our products and our Web site. Tracking of Web Site Usage: G-Cube also tracks the usage of visitors to our Web site, including the URL of the visitorīs previous Web site and when they exit our Web site. G-Cube also keeps track of the pages our customers visit within our Web site and any transaction details (downloads, orders, requests or referrals) in order to determine what G-Cube products, information and services are the most popular. This data is also used by G-Cube to deliver customized content and advertising to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area. G-Cube uses various technologies to track trends in the use of our website or online services, including session cookies and GUIDs. These allow us to track how consumers interact with G-Cube online and with your permission this information can be tied to your personal information to help us tailor communication to you. Information for Using Harmony Remote Controls: If you use a Harmony Remote control or if you visit the harmonyremote.com site, G-Cube may also collect certain information about your consumer electronic devices, as well as your device and/or TV channel configurations in order to help you program your remote control. Harmony Remote Control Users: In order to program your Harmony Remote control, you will need to supply G-Cube with complete information on the Consumer Electronic Components that you wish to operate with your Harmony Remote control. Such information may include the make, model number, and set up of your Consumer Electronic Components. For example, G-Cube will need to know that your VCR is connected to your Stereo Receiver and the video output is connected to Input 1 on your TV. If you choose to withhold this information, then G-Cube will not be able to help you program your remote control. In the event that you are not able to locate a Consumer Electronic Componentīs make and model within G-Cubeīs existing database, you will have two options to provide information for setting up your Consumer Electronic Component. You may choose to match a similar make and model from our existing database to check to see if such remote control commands will work with your Consumer Electronic Component. Alternatively, you may use the learning functions on the Harmony Remote control to teach it your Consumer Electronic Componentīs remote control commands. In both situations, the set up information and the remote control commands are transferred to the Harmony Remote database -- these remote control commands then become available to other customers of Harmony Remote. In order to use your Harmony Remote control with your TV, you also need to disclose to G-Cube certain information related to what TV channels are received at your location in order to properly program the remote control with the available TV channels. You may also optionally indicate your favourite TV channels, which may be programmed onto your remote control. In order to provide you with support services for your Harmony Remote control, G-Cube will store your device set up information in its database, as part of your account. This information is maintained to enable you to download future TV listings, complete changes to your account, complete updates with new versions of Harmony software, and to assist G-Cube with providing future customer support. This information is also used for analytical purposes to help G-Cube improve its customer support. Further, G-Cube may from time to time use this information to contact you, conduct research, and offer additional products and services to you. Test Drive on the harmonyremote.com Site: If you visit the harmonyremote.com site and elect to take a test drive of a Harmony Remote control, you will be asked to supply the make and model number, as well as the product configuration or set up, of the various Consumer Electronic Components that you wish to "test drive" with a Harmony Remote control. G-Cube will maintain your test drive account so that if you later purchase a Harmony Remote Control, you can program it with your test drive set up information. Use of Your Information With your express permission, G-Cube collects, integrates and uses this personal and other information to help you quickly find software, services or information on G-Cube.com, to help us create Web site content and other services most relevant to you and to alert you to product upgrades, special offers, newsletters, updated information and other new services from G-Cube. When G-Cube receives information about your session or about you, we may use it for research or to improve our site and the services we offer you. We may also use this information from time to time to monitor the technical functions of our servers and site. G-Cube uses this information to communicate with you only after you give your express permission for such communication. G-Cube does not share this information with any third parties, except with your consent or as described below. If you choose not to register and provide this information, you can still use most of G-Cubeīs services. Unfortunately, you will not be able to access areas that require registration. If you do not want G-Cube.com to send you e-mail or postal mail regarding G-Cube products or services, you may opt out when you register by selecting the option stating that you do not wish to receive such marketing materials from G-Cube.com by selecting the option stating "Check here if you do not wish to receive G-Cube mailings". We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose. We from time to time supplement the information we collect from the site with information from offline or third party sources. We use this information to enhance or overlay the ‘profileī of customers and business contact information. This supplementary data is therefore tied to corporate contact information and in some cases personally identifiable information. We also may internally compare lists collected from our other sites or within our family of companies to remove duplicate entries. Personal information collected on this site may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which G-Cube or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using this site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country. G-Cube abides by the safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union. G-Cube will not disclose your personal information to any third party without your approval, except that we reserve the right to disclose your personal information: (a) to any of our affiliates, subsidiaries, third party service providers or advisers that we deem appropriate; (b) if such disclosure is made pursuant to a legal proceeding or as required by law; (c) if necessary, to protect the personal safety of users of G-Cubeīs web sites, or the public; (d) to protect and defend the rights or property of G-Cube, including its Web site; (e) to another business entity should we plan to merge with, or be acquired by that business entity; or (f) organizations involved in a merger, transfer or sale of our assets or business. In the event that we disclose your personal information as set out of above, we will require third party organizations who have access to your personal information to protect and maintain your personal information in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Statement of Privacy & Security. Control of Your Personal Information G-Cube offers its customers choices for the collection, use and sharing of personal information at the time the customer decides to register. In addition, you may also stop the delivery of future communication from G-Cube by unsubscribing at any time. For instance, each email you receive contains instructions explaining how to stop receiving such e-mails. Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information If a userīs personally identifiable information changes (such as zip code/postal code, phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate usersī personally identifiable information. This can be done by emailing our Customer Support at registration_requests@G-Cube.com. Security of your Personal Information G-Cube is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential information (such as a credit card number) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. Collection and Use of Children's Personal Information We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from users under the age of 13. If for some reason we are made aware we have such personal information we will take reasonable steps to delete that information. USE OF COOKIES Like many other companies, G-Cube uses cookies to help you personalize your online experience. We use both session and persistent cookies. A cookie is a very small text file placed on your hard drive (with your permission) by a web page server. It is essentially your identification card, and cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. It is uniquely yours and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. Cookies are used by G-Cube to tailor content to your interests. For example, when you initiate a response by clicking on a link within an e-mail message, you are re-directed onto the Internet. We then record your individual response to help us deliver information that is more relevant to your interests. This saves you time as it helps G-Cube remember who you are. It makes your subsequent visits to G-Cube.com simpler and more seamless. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the opportunity to decide whether or not to accept it. However, on some pages which require authorization, cookies are not optional. If you choose not to accept cookies, you will likely not be able to access these pages. USE OF GLOBALLY UNIQUE IDENTIFIERS What is a GUID? A Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) is an alphanumeric identifier used to indicate a unique installation of a product, and is found in many popular software applications such as web browsers and media players. G-Cube may use GUIDs for aggregate statistical analysis, to personalize products and services. G-Cubeīs Use of GUIDS in LDM products and in future products LDM randomly generates a GUID during installation. G-Cube uses publicly documented standards to generate GUIDs. From time to time, G-Cube may use a GUID with a unique set of numbers in order to gather and aggregate information about traffic patterns, such as how many times a user attempts to access content from a server. These statistics help us improve our services. We may collect data marked by G-Cube GUIDs in order to understand aggregated traffic patterns and other G-Cube usage patterns. We use this data in order to measure product performance, better understand types of content that are popular with our users and how our products are used and to conduct user surveys. We may relate GUID marked system data to other personal information supplied by users. The system information that is linked to your personal information is limited to information about the types of G-Cube products you have connected to your computer. Further, consistent with our privacy principles, G-Cube does not sell or share such information with any third party unless we obtain a userīs advance informed consent. USE OF E-MAIL MESSAGING G-Cube will periodically send our registered users e-mail messages about our products and services. When sending you e-mail, we may use an image called a single pixel GIF that allows us to format messages tailored to your computerīs capabilities. We also use this technology to determine, in the aggregate, how many people open our e-mails. When you initiate a response by clicking on a link within an e-mail, you are redirected on to the Internet. We then record your individual response to help us deliver information that is more relevant to your interests.
