When you view RebootTech.tv content, RebootTech may receive information including the web page you visited, your IP address, browser type, operating system, and cookie information saved by reboottech.tv previously. This information helps me improve the site and services.
To protect privacy, I never associate this web browsing history with user's names, email addresses or phone numbers, and I delete, obfuscate, or aggrigate it after no longer than 30 days.
As this site is being worked on, more features will pop up including a 'delete all data' site for users logged in.
I require certain information to provide features to you. For example, you must have an account in order to run scripts or share content. When you choose to share the information with this site, I collect and use it to operate the feature.
You don't have to create an account to use some of the services on reboottech.tv. You can view tweets and projects that I'm interested in or that I've worked on in the past without creating an account.
If you choose to create an account, you must provide us with some personal information so I can inform you of important changes (non marketing) to the service that affect your use. Depending on what you explicity share, I may use the information on stream. For example, if you are participating in a live coding contest, your screen name and the code that you are actively working on for the live contest may be visible on a video cast for people to watch.
For the most part, the information kept will remain private information. There are a few exceptions though, for example, contest winners must have their screen name, what position they were in, and, their prizes made public. This is generally required in contest rules by many localities in order to host a legal contest.
This site allows you to sign-up/sign-in using 3rd party identity providers such as.. Twitter, Twitch, and a few others. When using these methods to authenticate, I create your account on reboottech.tv using the information gathered from the API. When using these methods, the login will prompt you if you would like to authorize us to have this information. If you choose not to share this information with reboottech.tv the site may not function correctly and you may not be able to participate in/use the service.
I require information about your signup and current location, which I get from signals such as your IP address or device settings, to securely and reliably set up and maintain your account and to provide our services to you.
Subject to your settings me may collect additional information about your course location to personalize our services. Some services may allow you to search an API using a postal code or a close postal address.
In order to operate our services, I keep track of how you interact with links across our services. This includes links in emails I send you.
I also use lack of this information to determine you are no longer interested and remove you from our services, email, and purge your account over time.
If you click on an external link on the site, or provided through an API, or ad on our services, that advertiser or website operator might figure out that you came from reboottech.tv. ReboottTech.tv may pass along other information to the 3rd party site such as the engagement test (campaign) they were running at the time.
A cookie is a small piece of data that is stored on your computer or mobile device. Like many websites, I use cookies and similar technologies to collect additional website usage data and to operate our services. Cookies are not required for many parts of our services. You can choose to disable cookies in most browser, however, some of our services may not function properly if you disable cookies. When your browser or device allows it, I use both session cookies and persistent cookies to better understand how you interact with our services, to monitor aggregate usage patterns, and to personalize and otherwise operate our services such as by providing account security, personalizing the content I send to you. Like showing your screen name to you once you log in. I do not, currently, support the Do Not Track browser option.
I receive information when you view content on or otherwise interact with our services, which I refer to as “Log Data,” even if you have not created an account. For example, when you visit our websites, sign into our services, interact with our email notifications, use your account to authenticate to a third-party service, I may receive information about you.
This Log Data includes information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, the referring web page, pages visited, location, your mobile carrier, device information (including device and application IDs), search terms (including those not submitted as queries), and cookie information. I also receive Log Data when you click on, view, or interact with links on our services. I use Log Data to operate our services and ensure their secure, reliable, and robust performance. For example, I use Log Data to protect the security of accounts and to determine what content is popular on our services. I also use this data to improve the content I show you, and, to improve the effectiveness of our own marketing.
I use the information I receive to provide you features like authentication, notices, and to operate our services. For these integrations, you may revoke this permission at any time by visiting the other service you have connected.
When you log into reboottech.tv on a browser or device, I will associate that browser or device with your account for purposes such as authentication, security, and personalization. Subject to your settings, I may also associate your account with browsers or devices other than those you use to log into Twitter (or associate your logged-out device or browser with other browsers or devices). When you provide other information to Twitter, including an email address, I associate that information with your reboottech.tv account.
I engage service providers to perform functions and provide services for us in the United States, and other countries. For example, I use a variety of third-party services to help operate our services and to help us understand the use of our services, such as Google Analytics. I may share your private personal data with such service providers subject to obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures, and on the condition that the third parties use your private personal data only on our behalf and pursuant to our instructions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Privacy Policy or controls I may otherwise offer to you, I may preserve, use, share, or disclose your personal data or other safety data if I believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to protect the safety of any person; to protect the safety or integrity of our platform, including to help prevent spam, abuse, or malicious actors on our services, or to explain why I have removed content or accounts from our services; to address fraud, security, or technical issues; or to protect our rights or property or the rights or property of those who use our services. However, nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit any legal defenses or objections that you may have to a third party’s, including a government’s, request to disclose your personal data.
I may share or disclose non-personal data, such as aggregated information like the total number of times people engaged with a Tweet, demographics, the number of people who clicked on a particular link or voted on a poll, the topics that people are interested in, some inferred interests, or reports to advertisers about how many people saw or clicked on their ads, sponsored segments, or purchased products using affiliate referral links.
