   Terms of Use and Privacy Policy
   Welcome to the Skyrocket Player!
   Last Updated: June 11, 2014
   The Terms of Use and Privacy Policy below cover the use of the Skyrocket Player software and video service provided therein (“Skyrocket Player ”), which are owned by Skyplayer (“Skyplayer”). To learn more about us, go to http://www.Skyrocketplayer.com.
   Our goal with Skyrocket Player is to bring you the most state-of-the-art video viewing experience that allows you to view videos while performing other tasks at the same time. We strive to provide you easy access to all your favorite content and enhance your viewing experience with a unique “view-through” player that sits on top of, but doesn’t obstruct your view and use of all the other apps on your desktop.
   Acceptance of Terms
   By downloading, installing, registering for, or using Skyrocket Player’s video service and products, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy , including all policies and guidelines incorporated into these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy by reference (together, the “Agreement ”). Please read this Agreement carefully. If you do not wish to be bound by the Agreement, do not indicate your acceptance, and do not use Skyrocket Player’s service or products.
   What we do?
   The Service – The Skyrocket Player software is designed to give you the ability to watch video content while still having access and use of other applications on your computer. The unique “view-through” technology plays videos in a partially transparent player that reveals what’s under the Skyrocket Player. Attached to the video player is a control bar that provides video control, content selection and convenient video content and web content search functions. The Service may also:
   Show ads dispersed within the video content played in the Skyrocket Player.
   Provide you an optional home page with convenient search, and an optional ability to set your browser’s default search powered both powered by a Skyplayer partner.
   Communicate with our servers to check for correct operation of the player, the placement of offers, and the date and time you install and uninstall the Service.
   Skyrocket may include additional advertisements in the future, including, without limitation:
   Placing display ads, banners, or coupons into web pages or displaying over parts of such web pages that advertisements would not otherwise appear on the underlying website; or
   Convert words on pages you view into hyperlinks that are linked to advertisements.
   Changes to the Service – Should Skyplayer wish to introduce material changes to the Service as described above, including new advertisement types, the changes will be included in a new version of the Skyrocket Player software and you will be given the opportunity to consent to install and use the new version.
   Cookie Usage – A cookie is a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters that stores data on a user’s hard drive. A cookie cannot access a user’s hard drive, and only contains as much information as the User has disclosed to a particular website. The Skyrocket home page uses cookies to store configurations and settings information. This and other non-personally identifiable information may be stored as a cookie. This cookie may be updated in the future.
   Information – Skyrocket Player will detect your operation and the features used of the product in order to help improve the product experience. Information about your computer (operating system, cpu type, IP address) is also detected for the same purpose. No personally identifiable information is collected about you. This information is not shared with third parties. If you do not want to participate in this detection, do not install the product.
   Easy Removal – Skyrocket Player can be easily removed from your computer using the Windows Add/Remove Programs function. Skyrocket Player will leave behind a Windows registry entry so that a future attempt to install will know your machine has already had Skyrocket installed.
   What we don’t do:
   We do not collect any personally identifiable information (“PII”) about you.
   We do not trade or rent PII to third parties.
   We do not change the default search of your browser, your home page , nor any other settings of your browser without your consent.
