# Who.Where.What? User Agreement
Along with the Privacy Policy, this Who.Where.What? User Agreement (“Agreement”) describes how LG Electronics Inc. (“LGE” or “we” or “our”), through our partner, The Painted Dog, Inc. (aka TheTake) (“TheTake”), provides the Who.Where.What? content discovery services accessed on your Smart Media Product.

Viewing Information may include the name of the channel or program watched, details about the contents, including the products, in which you are interested, requests to view content, details of actions taken while viewing (e.g., play, stop, pause, click, mark certain products that you are interested as favorite, etc.), captured image of the content watched, and input method (e.g., RF, Component or HDMI, Network). To learn more about how LGE collects and uses Viewing Information, please review LGE’s Privacy Policy and the Viewing Information Agreement, both of which can be found in the Settings menu.
What is Device Information?
Device Information is information about your Smart Media Product and any external devices that you might connect to it, such as your set-top box, remote control, and DVD or Blu-ray player.

What is Basic Usage Information?
For purposes of this Agreement, Basic Usage Information is information about your interactions within the Smart Media Product while using the Who.Where.What? service, such as access to overlays or clicks on shopping items.
What is Who.Where.What??
The Who.Where.What? content discovery feature on your Smart Media Product allows you to identify and “shop” the products on featured programming content. Depending on your location and model of Smart Media Product, Who.Where.What? may not be available to you.
What is the purpose of this Who.Where.What? User Agreement?
This Agreement explains how LGE and TheTake collect, use, and share certain personal information, including Viewing Information, obtained from your usage of the Smart Media Product to enable Who.Where.What? services.
