We take steps to limit access to sensitive information from or about you to those BlastTV employees, agents, and contractors who have a legitimate business reason to access such information. They will only process your personal data in relation to their duties and they are also bound by confidentiality.
Despite these measures, note that there is always a possibility that a breach in data transmission or storage may occur. Please note that if you allow others to use your account (including others you permit to set up profiles under your account), they may be able to view information about your account or any of the profiles under your account, including information about the videos you view and your email address. In addition, measures and procedures are in place to deal with any suspected breach of personal data. In such instances, we will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach (i.e. National Privacy Commission) within 72 hours as required by law.
