This Privacy Notice (“Notice”) applies to all Personal Information (defined below) that is collected by SHIFT Media Holdings, Inc. and our affiliate and subsidiary entities MediaSilo, Inc. and I.O.W.A., LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) through our online properties (“Sites”) such as Wiredrive and MediaSilo. The purpose of this Notice is to inform website users (“you” or “your”) what information may be collected from you when you visit the Sites, how the information will be used, with whom the information will be shared, your choices regarding the information, your ability to edit, update, correct or delete the information, and the security procedures that we have implemented to protect your privacy. By visiting the Sites and providing your Personal Information to us, you consent to the terms of this Notice, which forms a part of the Terms of Use for the Sites. We reserve the right to amend or change this Privacy Notice at any time at our sole discretion.

1. About MEDIASILO

MEDIASILO gives individuals and teams from enterprise media companies, agencies and brands access to a secure ecosystem that embraces the unique needs of creators. For those involved in the lifecycle of creative content, MEDIASILO and its products and services provide an environment that is safe, scalable, inspiring, empowering and efficient.
‍

Our leading collaboration platforms for creators and creative companies address video workflow issues, delivering tools that allow users to stay focused on creativity and content:
‍

• MediaSilo provides secure video collaboration tools and pre-release content delivery to the post-production market, including many of the largest media companies in the world.
• Wiredrive is the industry standard for agencies, brands and creative professionals looking to review, curate, present and share creative work.
• SafeStream is the first on-demand and real-time visible and forensic watermarking service providing turnkey tools for securing video content online.
• Screeners.com provides a singular, secure, hassle-free destination for previewing pre-release content.

Certain privacy laws distinguish between data “controllers” and “processors.”  Where this distinction exists and MEDIASILO processes your personal data through a corporate enterprise account, we are acting as a processor and our corporate enterprise client is acting as a controller.  In that case, the terms of this Notice are superseded by the contractual terms in place between MEDIASILO and the controller of your personal data.  Where your account is not associated with a corporate enterprise account, MEDIASILO acts as a controller and the terms of this Notice apply in full.

Web becons do not contain any Personal Information.
