This information allows us to measure the performance of our App and our email campaigns.

Do Not Track. The App does not recognize a “do not track” setting (or similar mechanism) from your browser to indicate that you do not wish to be tracked or to receive interest-based ads. Please see our Cookies Policy & Advertising Choices from the main menu for more information including how to exercise your rights to opt-out of cookies, analytics, and personalized advertising.

How We May Use Your Information. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may use the information collected about you for the following purposes or in the following ways:

·       To allow you to voluntarily participate in contests, surveys or promotions (collectively, “Promotions”). If you participate in a Promotion, we may request certain personal information, such as your email address. You should carefully review the rules, if any, of each Promotion, because the rules for each Promotion may contain additional information about our use of personal information that you provide in connection with the Promotion. To the extent that the Promotion's rules conflict with this Privacy Policy regarding the treatment of personal information, the Promotion's rules will control.

·       With third-party sponsors of Promotions (irrespective of whether such Promotions are hosted by us), or otherwise in accordance with the rules applicable to such Promotion. You should carefully review the rules, if any, of each Promotion in which you participate, because they may contain additional important information about a sponsor's own information collection practices.

·       In connection with a corporate transaction, proceeding or reorganization involving the business activities for which the information is maintained. In the event that ownership of Brightcove or its business were to change as a result of a merger, acquisition or transfer to another company, your personal information may be shared. You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our App, of any change in ownership, change in use of your personal information, and choices you may have regarding such change in use of your personal information.

Third-Party Sites and the App. We may provide links to other websites within this App as a convenience for our users. We may also inform users about third-party services or applications that can be used in connection with Brightcove Services, including services from companies associated with Brightcove's partners program (as further described on our website). This Privacy Policy does not cover, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information or other practices of any third parties, or of other websites, applications or services operated by such third parties. Your activities with, including your provision of personal information to, any such third parties or such third parties' websites, applications or services will be governed by the privacy policy of such third parties. The inclusion of a link within the App does not imply endorsement of the linked website by Brightcove. We are not responsible for the use of any personal information you disclose to or through our customers or partners or third-party sites, applications or services.

Cross-Device Identification. When you use your mobile device to interact with the App, we may receive information about your mobile device, including a unique identifier for your device. We and our service providers and third parties we collaborate with, including ad networks, may use cross-device/cross-context tracking. For example, you might use multiple browsers on a single device, or use various devices (such as desktops, smartphones and tablets), which can result in your having multiple accounts or profiles across these various contexts and devices. Cross-device/cross-context technology may be used to connect these various accounts or profiles and the corresponding data from the different contexts and devices.

 

International Data Transfers. The App, and the features and functionality of the App, may be provided using resources and servers located in various countries around the world, including the United States and other countries.

By using the App, you consent to this transfer. We will protect the privacy and security of personal information we collect in accordance with this Privacy Policy, regardless of where it is processed or stored.

EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Notice.

EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Notice.  Brightcove is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and processes personal data who are residents of the European Union (“EU”), European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom and Switzerland in line with our obligations and Data Privacy Framework principles, including purpose limitations, data minimization and providing a direct means of dispute resolution. For further information, please see our Data Privacy Framework Notice below. For those transfers of personal data that are not covered by the Data Privacy Framework, Brightcove relies on the most recent versions of the European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses as a transfer compliance mechanism to transfer personal information collected in the EEA, Switzerland and UK. We are responsible for the processing of personal data we receive under the Data Privacy Framework and subsequently transfer to a third party agent, and may be liable for onward transfers in violation of the Data Privacy Framework Principles.

Questions and Complaints.  If you are a resident of a country participating in the Data Privacy Framework, you may direct any questions or complaints concerning our Data Privacy Framework compliance to our Data Protection Contact listed below. We will work with you to resolve your issue.     

If you have not received timely response to your concern relating to data processed under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, or we have not addressed your concern satisfactorily, you may contact our U.S.-based dispute resolution provider, at no cost to you, at https://feedback-form.truste.com/watchdog/request. If neither Brightcove nor our independent dispute resolution provider resolves your complaint, you may have the right to invoke binding arbitration through the designated panel. However, prior to initiating such arbitration, a resident of a country participating in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, must first: (1) contact us and afford us the opportunity to resolve the issue; (2) seek assistance from our designated independent dispute resolution provider; and (3) contact the U.S. Department of Commerce (either directly or through a European DPA) and afford the U.S. Department of Commerce time to attempt to resolve the issue. If a resident invokes binding arbitration, each party shall be responsible for its own attorney's fees. Pursuant to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the arbitrator(s) may impose only individual-specific, non-monetary, equitable relief necessary to remedy any violation of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles with respect to the resident.

U.S. Federal Trade Commission Enforcement. Brightcove's commitments under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, are subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the United States Federal Trade Commission.
