These services include, but are not limited to: becoming a full member of TVSA, creating blogs, posting replies, signing up for newsletters, submitting contact forms and entering competitions.

In the future, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In this instance, we may include your information among the transferred assets.

TVSA displays links to external websites and cannot be held responsible for the privacy policies nor content of any of the sites accessed via one of these links.

TVSA cannot be held responsible for a breach of privacy in instances where users share their personal information with any other user on the site.

TVSA may disclose your details to a third party only in instances where it is required to by law or in instances where it does so in good faith to act to protect the interests of the site, its members or others.

Cookies and other similar technologies. We use "cookies," tags, scripts, and other similar technologies which allow us to manage access to and use of our services.

We may combine this automatically collected log information with other information we collect about you. We do this to improve the services we offer you, including customized recommendations, advertising and to track access and use of the TVSA Services across  devices.

Third Parties

Some of the advertisements on TVSA are delivered or served by third-party companies which may collect information about your use of  TVSA.

These companies may place or recognise cookies or other technology to track certain non-personal information about our website users.

You may opt out of the use of the Google Doubleclick cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

In the course of serving certain advertisements, an advertiser may place or recognise a unique cookie on your browser in order to collect certain information about your use of TVSA.

For example, an advertiser or ad server may be able to collect your device’s unique identifier in the course of serving an ad. In many cases, this information could be used to show you ads on other websites based on your interests.

We do not have access to, nor control over, these third parties' use of cookies or other tracking technologies or how they may be used.

TVSA offers opportunities to engage in public activities. "Public activities" are any actions you take on the website that are designed to be visible to other users, including comments, show and actor reviews, ratings, blog posts or any other items that you submit.

Any information you disclose in your public activities, along with your screen name or ID, or any image or photo, becomes public and may be used by TVSA for online and offline promotional or commercial uses in any and all media.

If you choose to engage in public activities, you should be aware that any personal information you submit publicly can be read, collected and used by other users.

We are not responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in the course of your public activities and we have no responsibility to publish, take down, remove or edit any of your public activities or submissions.
