However, this policy is subject to fair use: If your aggregate bandwidth usage (across all accounts you control) is higher than 99% of Self-Serve users on our platform in any calendar month, we may, in our discretion, charge fees for excessive usage, require you to upgrade to a more suitable plan, or terminate your account(s) upon advance written notice.

9. Account and Video Privacy Settings
As part of our services, we offer you the ability to limit the distribution of your content, including your videos. This section explains some of your choices.
Profile
Some of our online subscription plans enable you to “hide” your profile or otherwise make it inaccessible on our website. However, your profile will remain accessible to persons who have access to your account or content.
Team Members
Some of our subscription plans enable you to grant account-level access rights to others. Persons with such access (“Team Members”) may be able to see and potentially alter your data. You may revoke or downgrade Team Member access at any time.
Videos
We enable you to manage the privacy settings of your account. On gradetonic.com, for example, your options, which depend on your subscription plan, may include:
Public (or “anyone” ): Your video/stream will be publicly-available.
Just you (i.e., “only me “): Your video/stream will be available to you and authorized Team Members.
Selected people: Your video/stream will be available to users you choose (such as users you follow or specifically-designated users).
Password-protected: Your video/stream may be accessed by anyone who enters the password you have set.
You may change a video’s/stream’s privacy settings at any time. Changes will be applied on a go-forward basis.
You may create a sharable link to share your video with others. Creating such a sharable link will override your privacy settings and allow anyone who enters the link in a browser to view your video without restriction.
You should exercise caution in granting access to others (through link-sharing or passwords). Once you have granted access to someone else, you lose a degree of control over the distribution of your video/stream as those persons may share the password and/or link with other people.
Regardless of your profile or privacy settings. gradetonic reserves the right to inspect them to comply with its Terms of Service, provide customer support, or address technical issues.

11. Protecting Your Information
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 not share it with others. You should only grant access rights to people you know and trust, and, even then, you should be careful in giving 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.
12. Your Responsibilities
You may receive other people’s data in using our service. If you receive information from other users, you must process that information in compliance with your published privacy policy and all applicable laws, including those concerning privacy, data security, and online marketing.

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.

This Privacy Policy covers our apps and video players but does not cover any third-party site or any third-party video player.
