This Privacy Policy ("Policy") sets forth the principles and protocols governing the collection, use, disclosure, and safeguarding of information provided to or obtained by Bolt TV, a global streaming platform specializing in sports content ("Bolt TV," "we," "us," or "our"). Crafted by globally recognized legal experts, this Policy reflects the highest standards of data privacy and security in alignment with internationally applicable laws and regulatory frameworks.
This Policy applies to information collected through our websites, applications, and digital platforms where it is posted, as well as information gathered through third-party applications or platforms on which Bolt TV makes its Services available. It further governs data collected offline through customer interactions at in-person events, call centers, or other physical engagements. Where applicable, supplemental privacy notices may be provided to address specific products, jurisdictions, or data processing activities. Such notices are intended to be read in conjunction with this Policy, offering comprehensive transparency in our data practices.
We emphasize that when you provide information to us via third-party platforms (for example, through applications hosted externally), such information may also be independently collected by those third-party entities. Data collected directly by Bolt TV is subject to this Policy, whereas data collected by third-party platforms is governed by their respective privacy practices. Privacy settings or choices you make on third-party platforms do not extend to or restrict Bolt TV’s use of information acquired directly through our Services.
Moreover, our digital properties may contain links to external websites or services beyond Bolt TV’s ownership or operational control. We disclaim responsibility for the privacy practices or data handling policies of these third-party sites. We strongly encourage users to exercise diligence when navigating away from our platforms and to review the privacy policies of external services that may collect personal information.
This Policy underscores Bolt TV’s unwavering commitment to maintaining user trust, ensuring legal compliance, and upholding the utmost integrity in managing personal data.
