What Information Do We Collect?

When you visit our website you may knowingly choose to provide us with personal information about yourself. In addition to this individual information that you may provide to us voluntarily, we collect aggregate data on how you, and all our other visitors, make use of this site.

Personal Information You Choose to Provide

We will not sell, trade, or in any other manner intentionally distribute, disseminate, or disclose any personal identification information about you (such as, for example, your full name, email address, etc.) as an individual user of this website to any companies, organizations, individuals, or any other third party without having first received your permission.

We may request personal identification information from you in connection with your use of, or participation in, surveys, email correspondence, discussion boards, or participant registrations enabling participants to participate in online Videohall website events. However, we will only collect this personal information from you if you have voluntarily submitted it to us.

Any personal information provided to us may be used in connection with the activities previously referred to above. Should you contact us with questions or comments, we may use your personal information in order to respond to your questions or comments. We may also keep your comments or questions for future reference.

It is important to note that if you give out personal information online, through a discussion post or comment, for example, that information may be collected and used by third parties. We cannot guarantee the security of information you post in these arenas. You disclose such information at your own risk. You should also be aware that email communications are not necessarily secure against interception.

TERC enables site users to change or modify personal information by contacting the contact person listed on the website.

Privacy of Children

TERC does not solicit personal information from minors. We will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of thirteen (13) without prior verifiable parental consent.

If we become aware that a site visitor under the age of thirteen (13) has provided personal information without prior verifiable parental consent, we will remove his or her personally identifiable information from our files. Please note, we may maintain a record of that person’s name and address in a “do not register” file to prevent subsequent registration of that minor.

We automatically collect and store the following information about your visit:

  1. The Internet domain (for example, xcompany.com if you use a private Internet access account, or yourschool.edu if you connect from a school or university domain), and IP address (a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are online) from which you access our website.
  2. The type of browser and operating system you use to access our site, and other details about your software and hardware configurations.
