This information may be accessed by others in your group, or if personally elected to share the content, then can be accessed by anyone within the VTM network. Those videos may be viewed and otherwise accessed by others, and associated metadata (e.g., titles, descriptions, tags, etc.) are viewable by others. Your interactions with other users (e.g., comments, "likes," private messages) may be seen by others. You may choose to limit the availability of your profile and videos.

We may obtain data from third parties about you. We may combine that data with information that we have collected. For example, some advertisers or advertising platforms may allow us to determine what other online services you might use so that we may place relevant ads on those services.

Where the services are provided to you through your employer or another organization that administers access, that organization may be able to:
If you sign up for a VTM account using an email address belonging to an organization (i.e. your employer), we may disclose information about your account (such as the primary email address and the account type) to the corresponding organization. Please contact your organization’s administrator for further details.
We have built in proper filters, where the content will be approved by an administrator of each group, and if the content is shared, it will be approved by the superadmin. However the content is interpreted and modeled, VTM is not accountable or responsible for any adverse outcomes.
We may disclose your data in response to official requests (e.g., court orders, subpoenas, search warrants, national security requests, etc.) ("requests") that we receive from government authorities or parties to legal proceedings.

If you create an account, you may receive commercial emails from us. This includes newsletters and offers.
We may, with your consent, send push notifications in our apps. You may disable these by declining them or changing the app's settings.
We use physical, technical, and organizational security measures to safeguard your data from unauthorized or accidental disclosure. Despite these efforts, no information system can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. Users also have a role to play in keeping their data safe. We encourage you to use a unique and hard-to-guess password for your account and to not share it with others. You should only grant access rights to people who you know and trust, and, even then, you should be careful in granting all access rights. You should monitor your account regularly. If you believe that someone has gained access to your account without your permission, please contact us immediately so that we can investigate.
You may receive other people's data in using our service. If you receive information from other users, you must comply with all laws, including those concerning privacy, data security, and online marketing.
We may provide links to online services that we do not own or operate. These services fall outside of this Privacy Policy and we have no control over the data they collect. For example, if you click on an advertisement, you may be taken to the advertiser's website. Once on a third-party site, your data may be collected by others. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of such services before using them.
You may use our service through third-party sites and to send you offers. For example, you may watch a video that is embedded on a third-party site or use one of our apps on a third-party platform. This Privacy Policy covers our apps and video players, but does not cover any third-party site or any third-party video player.
