Privacy Policy

5. U.S. State Specific Information

U.S. State-Specific Privacy Rights 

Certain U.S. state laws require us to inform you of (a) the categories of personal information we collect about you, (b) the purposes for which we collect and use such personal information, (c) whether we sell such personal information or share such personal information for purposes of targeted advertising and (d) the period for which we retain each category of personal information or, where a specific period cannot be provided, the criteria used to determine our retention timelines. This Privacy Policy contains such information in this section and in the sections titled Collection of Personal Information by GSTV, Usage of Personal Information, Disclosure of Personal Information and Retention of Personal Information. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy carefully, along with any additional terms presented to you at or before the time we collect your personal information.  

Residents of certain U.S. states may be entitled to additional rights regarding their personal information, subject to applicable exceptions. Depending on your state of residence, these rights may include: 

• Right to Access: Right to access the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which that personal information was collected; the purposes for which we collect such personal information; and the categories of third parties to whom we disclose such personal information.

• Right to Data Portability: Right to obtain a copy of the personal information that you provided to us in a portable and, where technically feasible, readily usable format.

• Right to Correct: Right to request that we correct inaccuracies in the personal information that we maintain about you.

• Right to Delete: Subject to certain exceptions, right to request the deletion of personal information that we obtain about you.

• Right to Opt Out of Profiling: Right to opt out of “profiling” in furtherance of a decision that produces a legal or similarly significant effect. [We do not offer this right because we do not engage in such profiling.]

• Right to Opt Out of Sales, Sharing and Targeted Advertising: Right to opt out of the sale of your personal information or sharing or processing of your personal information for purposes of targeted advertising. GSTV utilizes third-party cookies and tracking technologies that share certain personal information with third parties for analytics and advertising purposes. You may exercise your right to opt out of the sale of your personal information or sharing or processing of your personal information for purposes of targeted advertising by toggling off the Performance and Analytics Cookies and Advertising and Social Media Cookies in our cookie management tool. Also, residents of certain states may opt out of the sale of their personal information or sharing or processing of their personal information for purposes of targeted advertising by utilizing the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”). Please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/ for information on how to download and use GPC. If you access the GSTV Sites from different browsers or devices, your settings for cookies and tracking technologies may need to be reconfigured on each. Please note that the GSTV Sites do not respond to “do not track” signals. 

We will not discriminate against you for exercising the foregoing rights.  

If you would like to submit a request regarding your personal information, you may (i) email info@gstv.com, (ii) submit a form through the GSTV Site here, or (iii) call 888-581-4788. When reaching out to us, please state the right you wish to exercise and your state of residence. We will acknowledge your request within 10 business days. We will either provide a substantive response or inform you that additional time is needed (up to an additional 45 calendar days), including the reason for the extension, within 45 calendar days after receipt of your request. 

You may submit a request on your own behalf or through an authorized agent. To designate an authorized agent, you must provide the agent with written authorization (including a power of attorney) and complete any identity verification steps we may require. 

In order to process your request, we must be able to verify your identity and/or the authority of your authorized agent. To verify your identity, we may require that you provide us with at least two items of personal information that we already maintain about you and/or give a declaration attesting to your identity under penalty of perjury. We will use the personal information you provide solely for verification purposes. 

If your request is denied, residents of certain states may have the right to appeal our decision. You may do so by replying directly to the denial notice or emailing your appeal to info@gstv.com. 

Notice of Financial Incentive 

From time to time, we may conduct promotions, sweepstakes and contests, and offer you rewards, such as cash or free gas, in exchange for your participation. Your participation is entirely voluntary and you may opt in by agreeing to take part. You may also decline to participate or stop participating at any time (i.e., by not completing the form). You may withdraw your participation at any time by emailing info@gstv.com. Please note that rewards are provided only upon completion of the applicable form. In connection with these promotions, sweepstakes and contests, we may collect your name, email address, home address and any additional information you choose to provide. We have made a good-faith determination that the value of the personal information processed in connection with these promotions, sweepstakes and contests is reasonably equivalent to the value of the incentives offered. 

California’s Shine the Light Law 

California’s Shine the Light Law allows California residents to request, once per year and at no cost, information from us about our disclosure of their personal information to third parties for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes.
