This privacy policy covers Overcast Media's treatment of personally identifiable information that Overcast Media or our agents collect from your use of the Web site located at www.OvercastMedia.com (the "Site").

Information Collection Use
Overcast Media collects personally identifiable information when you register for an account with the Site and when you use the Site's service (the "Service"). Overcast Media may also receive personally identifiable information from its business partners.

When you register for an account, we ask for your name and email address. You may also be requested to provide additional information after you have registered, such as your gender, date of birth and zip code. Once you register with the Site and sign in to the Service, you are not anonymous to us.

Overcast Media uses standard web server log files to automatically record information from your browser including your IP address, OvercastMedia.com cookie information, browser type, language, date and time of your request, operating system and the page you requested.

Information Use
The information we collect is used:

- to improve the content of the Site and the Service;
- to customize the content and layout of the Site and the Service for each individual user;
- to notify users about updates to the Site and our Service;
- to contact users about product and service offerings;
- to verify and enforce compliance with the policies governing the Site and to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Site or the Service.

Information Sharing and Disclosure
Overcast Media will not provide your personally identifiable information to other companies or people except in the following instances:

- we have your consent to share the information;
- we need to share your information to provide the product or service you have requested;
- we need to send the information to agents or contractors who work on behalf of Overcast Media to provide a product or service to you;
- in response to subpoenas, court orders, legal process, request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation, or if Overcast Media otherwise believes it is legally required to share or disclose your information;
- to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing the Site, the Service or applicable laws;
- to a successor entity in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, sale of assets or other corporate change respecting the Site or the Service; and

Additionally, Overcast Media may share or sell aggregated information that it collects, but this data will not contain your personally identifiable information.

Cookies
Your Internet browser has a feature called "cookies" which may store small amounts of data on your computer about your visit to our site. Overcast Media may set and access cookies on your computer. However, these cookies tell us nothing about who you are unless you specifically give us personally identifiable information.

Overcast Media allows other companies that are presenting advertisements on some of our pages to set and access their cookies on your computer. Other companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or other companies do not have access to Overcast Media's cookies.

Overcast Media uses web beacons to access our cookies within our network of web sites and in connection with Overcast Media products and services.

For your convenience, we may provide links to certain third party websites or referrals to certain third parties' products or services. If you choose to visit a third party's website or use its products or services, please be aware that the third party's privacy policy, and not this privacy policy, will govern your activities and any information you disclose while interacting with the third party.

Your Ability to Edit and Delete Your Account Information and Preferences
Overcast Media gives you the ability to edit your Site account information and preferences at any time. You may request deletion of your account by sending an email to staff@overcastmedia.com

Security
Your account information is password-protected for your privacy and security. Overcast Media takes commercially reasonable precautions to limit access to your data to our authorized staff.

If you are visiting from the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that differ from U.S. law, please be aware that you are transferring your personal data to the United States which does not have the same data protection laws as the EU and by providing your personal data you consent:
