Information We Automatically Collect

1. We and our third-party service providers (including any third-party content,
advertising, and analytics providers) automatically collect certain
information from your device or web browser when you interact with the
Services to help us understand how our users use the Services and to target
advertising to you (which we will refer to in this Privacy Policy
collectively as “Usage Data”). For example, each time you visit the Services
we and our third-party service providers automatically collect your IP
address, mobile device identifier or other unique identifier, browser and
computer type, access time, the Web page you came from, the URL you go to
next, the Web page(s) that you access during your visit and your interaction
with content or advertising on the Services.
2. We and our third-party service providers use such Usage Data for a variety
of purposes including to diagnose problems with our servers and software, to
administer the Services, to gather demographic information and to target
advertising to you on the Services and elsewhere online. Accordingly, our
third-party advertising networks and ad servers will also provide us with
information, including reports that will tell us how many ads were presented
and clicked on the Services in a manner that does not identify personally
any specific individual. The Usage Data we collect is generally
non-identifying, but if we associate it with you as a specific and
identifiable person, we will treat it as Personal Data.

Cookies/Tracking Technologies

1. We use tracking technologies, such as cookies, local storage, and pixel
tags.
2. Cookies and Local Storage
3. Cookies and local storage may be set and accessed on your computer. Upon
your first visit to the Services, a cookie or local storage will be sent to
your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. “Cookies” and local
storage are small files containing a string of characters that is sent to
your computer’s browser and stored on your device when you visit a website.
Many major Web services use cookies to provide useful features for their
users. Each Web site can send its own cookie to your browser. Most browsers
are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse
all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent; however, if you
reject cookies, you will not be able to sign in to the Services or take full
advantage of our Services. Additionally, if you clear all cookies on your
browser at any point after setting your browser to refuse all cookies or
indicate when a cookie is being sent, you will have to again reset your
browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent.
4. Our Services use the following types of cookies for the purposes set out
below

Flash

1. A Flash cookie is a data file placed on a device via the Adobe Flash plug-in
that is built into or downloaded by you onto your device. Flash cookies are
used for various purposes, including, without limitation, enabling a Flash
feature and remembering your preferences. For more information about Flash
and the privacy choices Adobe offers, visit
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html.
If you choose to adjust your Flash privacy settings on your device some
features of the Services may not function properly.

Pixel Tags

1. We also use “pixel tags,” which are small graphic files that allow us and
third parties to monitor the use of the Services and collect Usage Data. A
pixel tag can collect information such as the IP address of the computer
that downloaded the page on which the tag appears; the URL of the page on
which the pixel tag appears; the time (and length of time) the page
containing the pixel tag was viewed; the type of browser that retrieved the
pixel tag; and the identification number of any cookie previously placed by
that server on your computer.
2. We use pixel tags, either provided by us or by our third-party advertisers,
service providers and ad networks, to collect information about your visit,
including the pages you view, the links you click and other actions taken in
connection with our sites and Services and use them in combination with our
cookies to provide offers and information of interest to you. Pixel tags
also enable ad networks to serve targeted advertisements to you when you
visit the Services or other websites.
3. In addition, we use a variety of other technologies that collect similar
information for security and fraud detection purposes.
4. For more information about the use of cookies and similar technology on your
computer or mobile device and how to manage and delete them at
http://www.allaboutcookies.org and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk.

Information You Choose To Submit

1. You can visit the Services without telling us who you are or revealing any
information by which someone could identify you as a specific, identifiable
individual (which we will refer to in this Privacy Policy collectively as
“Personal Data”). If, however, you wish to register to become a member of
the Services, you are required to provide certain Personal Data (for
example, your name and e-mail address), and you must also provide a user
name and password. We use your Personal Data to fulfill your requests for
products and services, to improve our Services, to contact you from time to
time, with your consent, about us and our products and services, and as
otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. In addition, you are required to
provide certain Personal Data when you submit a job application and
supporting materials. Where you submit a job application on behalf of
another person, you confirm that you have made that person aware of how we
collect, use and share their Personal Data, the reason you have provided it,
how they can contact us, the terms of this Privacy Policy and related
policies and that they have consented to such collection, use and sharing.
You can also choose to submit or we may collect additional information about
yourself, such as demographic information (for example your gender, birth
date, or zip code) and information about your preferences and interests.
Failure to provide any required Personal Data will prevent us from being
able to provide the Services you request (e.g., member registration or
submission of job application) or otherwise inhibit our ability to provide
the Services.
2. We refer collectively to all information we collect that is not Personal
Data, including Usage Data, demographic data and de-identified Personal
Data, as “Non-Personal Data”. If we combine Non-Personal Data with Personal
Data, we will treat the combined information as Personal Data under this
Privacy Policy.
3. You also can choose to submit your alias, bio, email, photos or any other
information that you would like to share with other users of the Services
(which we will refer to in this Privacy Policy collectively as “User
Submissions”).
4. Personal Data, Non-Personal Data, and User Submissions are referred to in
this Privacy Policy collectively as “User Information.”
5. Information We Receive From Other Sources
6. We supplement the information we collect with outside records in order to
learn more about our users, to better tailor the content and offers we show
you, and for other purposes. We receive this information about you from
public sources or third parties, including without limitation consumer data
resellers and advertisers. We combine the information we receive from those
other sources with information we collect through the Services. In those
cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to the combined information.

Information Use

1. We use the information we collect, including Personal Data and Usage Data:
* to enable you to use our Services, to create an account or profile, to
process information you provide via our Services (including verifying that
your email address is active and valid) and to process your transactions;
* to provide related customer service and care, including responding to your
questions, complaints, or comments and sending surveys (with your consent)
and processing survey responses;
* to provide you with information, products, or services that you have
requested;
* to receive and process job applications for jobs with us;
* with your consent, to provide you with information, products, or services
that we otherwise believe will interest you, including special
opportunities from us and our third-party partners;
* to tailor content, recommendations, and advertisements we and third
parties display to you, both on the Services and elsewhere online;
* for internal business purposes, such as to improve our Services;
* to administer and process contests, sweepstakes, and promotions;
* to contact you with administrative communications and, in our discretion,
changes to our Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, or any of our other policies;
* to comply with regulatory and legal obligations; and
* for purposes as disclosed at the time you provide your information, with
your consent, and as further described in this Privacy Policy.

Social Network and Platform Integration

1. The Services contain integration with social networks and other platforms in
which information is shared between us and such platforms. For example, if
you create or log into your account through a third-party social media site,
we will have access to certain information from that site, such as your
name, email address, account information, photo and friends lists, and other
information in accordance with the authorization procedures determined by
such social media site. If you visit our Services on a device through which
you also interact with social networks or if you interact with us through a
social media function such as a plug-in (for example, a Facebook “like”
button) then you permit us to have on-going access to, to use and to store
information from your social network profile (such as your name, email
address, your friend list, photo, age, gender, location, birthday, social
networking ID, current city, and the people/sites you follow) in accordance
with this Privacy Policy. If you don’t want a social network to collect the
information about you as described above, or you don’t want a social network
to share it with us, please review the privacy policy, privacy settings and
instructions of the applicable social network before you visit and use our
Services.

Our Information Sharing Practice

* * (a) Generally. We share Non-Personal Data, including Usage Data,
de-identified Personal Data and aggregated user statistics, with third
parties in our discretion. We share User Information, including Personal
Data, as otherwise described in this Policy, and under the following
circumstances:
* (b) Service Providers. From time to time, we enter into relationships with
third parties who provide services to us (for example, analytics companies,
advertisers and ad agencies, data management and storage services or credit
card processing services, sweepstakes or contest prize fulfillment). In
those circumstances, we disclose User Information so that such service
providers perform those services. These service providers are only
permitted to use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to enable them
to provide their services to us. They are required to follow our express
instructions and to comply with appropriate security measures to protect
your Personal Data. In particular, our sites use certain Google analytics
and other services, and certain pages use the Google AMP Client ID API,
each of which enable collection and sharing of your information (including
Personal Data) with Google for further use. For specific information on
Google usage and how to control it, please see How Google uses data when
you use our partners’ sites or apps and Google’s Privacy Policy.
* (i) To opt-out of the sharing of this information with LiveRamp on a
people-based level, please click here (https://liveramp.com/opt_out/).
* (c) Third-Party Marketing. You will have a choice (opt-in or opt-out)
before we share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Provided that you have chosen to receive marketing messages from third
parties, we share your information (including Personal Data) with third
parties for those third parties’ own direct marketing purposes. Please
note, messages delivered from a third-party will subject you to the
third-party’s privacy policy. We also match your email address with third
parties with whom you have also consented to share your email address and
use such match to deliver custom offers or emails to you on the Services
and off the Services provided you have consented to receiving such offers
or emails.
* (d) Change of Control. In the event we go through a business transition
(such as a merger, acquisition by another company, bankruptcy, or sale of
all or a portion of our assets, including, without limitation, during the
course of any due diligence process), your Personal Data will likely be
among the assets transferred. By providing your Personal Data, you agree
that we can transfer such information in those circumstances without your
further consent. Should such a business transition occur, we will make
reasonable efforts to request that the new owner or combined entity (as
applicable) follow this Privacy Policy with respect to your Personal Data.
If your Personal Data would be used contrary to this Privacy Policy, we
will request that you receive prior notice.
* (e) Other Disclosure Scenarios. We reserve the right, and you hereby
expressly authorize us, to share User Information: (i) in response to
subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish, protect, or
exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims; (ii) if we
believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action
regarding illegal activities, fraud, or situations involving potential
threats to the safety of any person or property; (iii) if we believe it is
necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding significant
abuse of the Services infrastructure or the Internet in general (such as
voluminous spamming, denial of service attacks, or attempts to compromise
the security of information); (iv) to protect and defend our legal rights
or property, our services or their users, or any other party, and to
protect the health and safety of our users or the general public; and (v)
to our parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies
under common control with us (in which case we will require such entities
to honor this Privacy Policy).

Anonymous Data

1. When we use the term “anonymous data,” we are referring to data and
information that does not permit you to be identified or identifiable,
either alone or when combined with any other information available to a
third-party. We may create anonymous data from the Personal Data we receive
about you and other individuals whose Personal Data we collect. Anonymous
data will include analytics information and information collected by us
using cookies. We make Personal Data into anonymous data by excluding
information (such as your name) that makes the data personally identifiable
to you. We use this anonymous data to analyze usage patterns in order to
make improvements to our Services.

Public Information

1. If you identify any User Information as public, you are authorizing us to
share such information publicly. For example, you can elect to make certain
of your User Submissions (such as your alias, bio, email or photos) publicly
available. Also, there are areas of the Services (for example, message
boards, discussion rooms, and other online forums) in which you are able to
post information that automatically will be available to all other users of
the Services. By choosing to use these areas, you understand and agree that
anyone can access, use, and disclose any information that you post to those
areas.

Users Outside of the United States and Consent to Transfer

1. The Services are operated in the United States. If you are located in
another jurisdiction, please be aware that information you provide to us
will be transferred to, stored and processed in the United States. By using
the Services or providing us with any information, you consent to this
transfer, processing, and storage of your information in the United States,
a jurisdiction in which the privacy laws are not as comprehensive as those
in the country where you reside or are a citizen such as the European Union.
You understand that the U.S. government can obtain access to the Personal
Data you submit if necessary for investigative purposes (e.g., terrorism
investigation). We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that
your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We
use appropriate and suitable safeguards for transferring your Personal Data
to the U.S. (e.g., standard contractual clauses issued by the European
Commission, which can be accessed here).
2. Important Information for California Residents-Your California Privacy
Rights
3. As stated elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, VentureBeat Inc does not share
Personal Data with third parties for their direct marketing purposes, as
defined by California Civil Code Section 1798.83, unless we give you choice
(opt-in or opt-out) before sharing with those third parties.
4. If you are a California resident and you have questions about our practices
with respect to sharing information with third parties for their direct
marketing purposes and your ability to exercise choice, please contact us at
privacy@venturebeat.com. You must put the statement “Your California Privacy
Rights” in the body of your request, as well as your name, street address,
city, state, and zip code. In the body of your request, please provide
enough information for us to determine if this applies to you. Please note
that we will not accept inquiries via the telephone, email, or by facsimile,
and we are not responsible for notices that are not labelled or sent
properly, or that do not have complete information.

How We Respond to “Do Not Track” Signals

Advertising

* * (a) Generally. We use other companies under agreements with us to serve
third-party advertisements when you visit and use the Services. These
companies collect and use click stream information, browser type, time and
date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over during your visits
to the Services and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements
about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you. These
companies typically use tracking technologies to collect this information.
Other companies’ use of their tracking technologies is subject to their own
privacy policies, not this one.
* (b) Targeted Advertising. In order to serve offers and advertisements that
may be of interest to our users, we display targeted advertisements on the
Services, or other digital properties or applications in conjunction with
our content, based on information provided to us by our users and
information provided to us by third parties that they have independently
collected. We do not provide Personal Data to our advertisers when you
interact with an advertisement.
* (c) Your Ad Choices. Some of the third-party services providers and/or
Advertisers may be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) or
the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online
Behavioral Advertising. You can visit
http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp, which provides
information regarding targeted advertising and the “opt-out” procedures of
NAI members. You can opt-out of our use of your Web site viewing behavior
data to serve you interest-based advertising on third-party sites and email
newsletters here http://www.aboutads.info/choices.
* If you are accessing the Services through an application (i.e., mobile
phone or tablet) you can download the AppChoices application from your
device’s application store (i.e., Google Play, Apple App Store, and Amazon
Store). This DAA application allows participating companies to offer an
opt-out of customized advertisements that are based on predictions about
your interests generated from your application usage. For more information,
visit http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices.
* Please note opting out through these mechanisms does not opt you out of
being served advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads while
online or on your device.
* (d) Mobile. We may from time to time offer certain location or pinpoint
based services, such as location assisted navigation instruction. If you
elect to use such location-based services, we must periodically receive
your location in order to provide such location-based services to you. By
using the location-based services, you authorize us to: (i) locate your
hardware; (ii) record, compile and display your location; and (iii) publish
your location to third parties designated by you by means of location
publication controls available within the applications (for example,
settings, user preferences). As part of the location-based services, we
also collect and store certain information about the users who elect to use
such location-based services, such as a device id. This information will be
used to provide you the location-based services. We use third-party
providers to help provide location-based services through mobile systems
(unless you opt out of such location-based services with such providers)
and we provide the information to such providers to enable them to provide
their location-based services, provided that such providers use the
information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Choice/Opt-Out From Communications

1. Please be aware that if you wish to remove yourself from a newsletter and/or
other marketing emails from third parties that you consented to through the
Services, you must do so by contacting the relevant third-party. Even if you
do opt-out of marketing emails, we reserve the right to send you
transactional and administrative emails including those related to the
Services, service announcements, notices of changes to this Privacy Policy
or other Services policies, and to contact you regarding any goods or
services you have ordered.

Retaining, Modifying and Deleting Your Personal Data

1. You may access the information we hold about you. If you wish to exercise
this right, please contact us using the details in the Contact Us section
below. If you would like to update, correct, modify or delete from our
database any Personal Data you previously submitted to us, please let us
know by accessing and updating your profile. If you delete certain
information you may not be able to order services in the future without
re-submitting such information. We will comply with your request as soon as
reasonably practicable. Also, please note that we will maintain Personal
Data in our database whenever we are required to do so by law.
2. Please note that we need to retain certain information for record keeping
purposes and/or to complete any transactions that you began prior to
requesting such change or deletion (for example, when you enter a promotion,
you may not be able to change or delete the Personal Data provided until
after the completion of such promotion). We will retain your Personal Data
for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy
unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

EU Data Subject Rights

1. If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the
right to: (a) request access to your Personal Data and rectification of
inaccurate Personal Data; (b) request erasure of your Personal Data; (c)
request restrictions on the processing of your Personal Data; (d) object to
processing your Personal Data; and/or (e) the right to data portability
(“collectively, “Requests”). We can only process Requests from a user whose
identity has been verified. To verify your identity, please provide your
email address or [URL] when you make a request. For more information about
how to get access to Personal Data and for exercising your rights, you can
submit a request by selecting the “I am an EU resident and would like to
exercise my individual rights” option. You also have the right to lodge a
complaint with a supervisory authority.

Security

1. We have implemented commercially reasonable and appropriate technical and
organizational security measures to help protect your Personal Data from
accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, misuse, or
unauthorized access or disclosure; unfortunately, however, no data
transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a
result, while we strive to protect your User Information, we cannot
guarantee its security. You use the Services and provide us with information
at your own initiative and risk. If you have reason to believe that your
interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the
security of any account you have with us has been compromised), please
immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us using the details in
the Contact Us section below.

Links

1. The Services contain links to other websites that we do not control, and the
Services contain videos, advertising and other content hosted and served by
third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any
third-party.

Children’s Privacy

1. The Services are intended for a general audience and are not intended for
and should not be used by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly
collect information from children under the age of 13 and we do not target
the Services to children under the age of 13. If a parent or guardian
becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with information without
their consent, he or she should contact us using the details in the Contact
Us section below. We will delete such information from our files as soon as
reasonably practicable.

Sensitive Personal Data

1. Subject to the following paragraph, we ask that you not send us, and you not
disclose, any sensitive personal data as this term is defined under
applicable data protection and privacy laws (for example, social security
numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions,
religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics,
criminal background or trade union membership) on or through the Services or
otherwise to us.
2. If you send or disclose any sensitive personal data to us, you consent to
our processing and use of such sensitive personal data in accordance with
this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent to our processing and use of such
sensitive personal data, you must not submit such content to our Services.

Changes

1. We update this Privacy Policy from time to time in our discretion and will
notify you of any material changes to the way in which we treat Personal
Data, by posting a notice on relevant areas of the Services. We will also
provide notice to you in other ways in our discretion, such as through
contact information you have provided. Any updated version of this Privacy
Policy will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Privacy
Policy unless otherwise specified. Your continued use of the Services after
the effective date of the revised Privacy Policy (or such other act
specified at that time) will constitute your consent to those changes.
However, we will not, without your consent, use your Personal Data in a
manner materially different than what was stated at the time your Personal
Data was collected.

1. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please feel free to
contact us by email at privacy@venturebeat.com.

Pixel Tags

1. We also use “pixel tags,” which are small graphic files that allow us and
third parties to monitor the use of the Services and collect Usage Data. A
pixel tag can collect information such as the IP address of the computer
that downloaded the page on which the tag appears; the URL of the page on
which the pixel tag appears; the time (and length of time) the page
containing the pixel tag was viewed; the type of browser that retrieved the
pixel tag; and the identification number of any cookie previously placed by
that server on your computer.
2. We use pixel tags, either provided by us or by our third-party advertisers,
service providers and ad networks, to collect information about your visit,
including the pages you view, the links you click and other actions taken in
connection with our sites and Services and use them in combination with our
cookies to provide offers and information of interest to you. Pixel tags
also enable ad networks to serve targeted advertisements to you when you
visit the Services or other websites.
3. In addition, we use a variety of other technologies that collect similar
information for security and fraud detection purposes.
4. For more information about the use of cookies and similar technology you can

Our Information Sharing Practice

* * (a) Generally. We share Non-Personal Data, including Usage Data,
de-identified Personal Data and aggregated user statistics, with third
parties in our discretion. We share User Information, including Personal
Data, as otherwise described in this Policy, and under the following
circumstances:
* (b) Service Providers. From time to time, we enter into relationships with
third parties who provide services to us (for example, analytics companies,
advertisers and ad agencies, data management and storage services or credit
card processing services, sweepstakes or contest prize fulfillment). In
those circumstances, we disclose User Information so that such service
providers perform those services. These service providers are only
permitted to use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to enable them
to provide their services to us. They are required to follow our express
instructions and to comply with appropriate security measures to protect
your Personal Data. In particular, our sites use certain Google analytics
and other services, and certain pages use the Google AMP Client ID API,
each of which enable collection and sharing of your information (including
Personal Data) with Google for further use. For specific information on
Google usage and how to control it, please see How Google uses data when
you use our partners’ sites or apps and Google’s Privacy Policy.
* (c) Third-Party Marketing. You will have a choice (opt-in or opt-out)
before we share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Provided that you have chosen to receive marketing messages from third
parties, we share your information (including Personal Data) with third
parties for those third parties’ own direct marketing purposes. Please
note, messages delivered from a third-party will subject you to the
third-party’s privacy policy. We also match your email address with third
parties with whom you have also consented to share your email address and
use such match to deliver custom offers or emails to you on the Services
and off the Services provided you have consented to receiving such offers
or emails.
* (d) Change of Control. In the event we go through a business transition
(such as a merger, acquisition by another company, bankruptcy, or sale of
all or a portion of our assets, including, without limitation, during the
course of any due diligence process), your Personal Data will likely be
among the assets transferred. By providing your Personal Data, you agree
that we can transfer such information in those circumstances without your
further consent. Should such a business transition occur, we will make
reasonable efforts to request that the new owner or combined entity (as
applicable) follow this Privacy Policy with respect to your Personal Data.
If your Personal Data would be used contrary to this Privacy Policy, we
will request that you receive prior notice.
* (e) Other Disclosure Scenarios. We reserve the right, and you hereby
expressly authorize us, to share User Information: (i) in response to
subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish, protect, or
exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims; (ii) if we
believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action
regarding illegal activities, fraud, or situations involving potential
threats to the safety of any person or property; (iii) if we believe it is
necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding significant
abuse of the Services infrastructure or the Internet in general (such as
voluminous spamming, denial of service attacks, or attempts to compromise
the security of information); (iv) to protect and defend our legal rights
or property, our services or their users, or any other party, and to
protect the health and safety of our users or the general public; and (v)
to our parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies
under common control with us (in which case we will require such entities
to honor this Privacy Policy).

Important Information for California Residents-Your California Privacy Rights

1. As stated elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, VentureBeat Inc does not share
Personal Data with third parties for their direct marketing purposes, as
defined by California Civil Code Section 1798.83, unless we give you choice
(opt-in or opt-out) before sharing with those third parties.
2. If you are a California resident and you have questions about our practices
with respect to sharing information with third parties for their direct
marketing purposes and your ability to exercise choice, please contact us at
privacy@venturebeat.com. You must put the statement “Your California Privacy
Rights” in the body of your request, as well as your name, street address,
city, state, and zip code. In the body of your request, please provide
enough information for us to determine if this applies to you. Please note
that we will not accept inquiries via the telephone, email, or by facsimile,
and we are not responsible for notices that are not labelled or sent
properly, or that do not have complete information.

How We Respond to “Do Not Track” Signals

1. Internet browsers can be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the
online services that you visit. California Business & Professions Code
Section 22575(b) (as amended effective January 1, 2014) provides that
California residents are entitled to know how VentureBeat Inc responds to
“Do Not Track” browser settings.
2. There currently is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do
Not Track” means in this context. Therefore, like many websites and online
services, the Services do not alter their practices when they receive a “Do
Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “Do Not
Track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.
3. Advertising
* (a) Generally. We use other companies under agreements with us to serve
third-party advertisements when you visit and use the Services. These
companies collect and use click stream information, browser type, time and
date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over during your
visits to the Services and other Web sites in order to provide
advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest
to you. These companies typically use tracking technologies to collect
this information. Other companies’ use of their tracking technologies is
subject to their own privacy policies, not this one.
* (b) Targeted Advertising. In order to serve offers and advertisements that
may be of interest to our users, we display targeted advertisements on the
Services, or other digital properties or applications in conjunction with
our content, based on information provided to us by our users and
information provided to us by third parties that they have independently
collected. We do not provide Personal Data to our advertisers when you
interact with an advertisement.
* (c) Your Ad Choices. Some of the third-party services providers and/or
Advertisers may be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”)
or the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for
Online Behavioral Advertising. You can visit
http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp, which provides
information regarding targeted advertising and the “opt-out” procedures of
NAI members. You can opt-out of our use of your Web site viewing behavior
data to serve you interest-based advertising on third-party sites and
email newsletters here http://www.aboutads.info/choices.
* If you are accessing the Services through an application (i.e., mobile
phone or tablet) you can download the AppChoices application from your
device’s application store (i.e., Google Play, Apple App Store, and Amazon
Store). This DAA application allows participating companies to offer an
opt-out of customized advertisements that are based on predictions about
your interests generated from your application usage. For more
information, visit http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices.
* Please note opting out through these mechanisms does not opt you out of
being served advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads while
online or on your device.
* (d) Mobile. We may from time to time offer certain location or pinpoint
based services, such as location assisted navigation instruction. If you
elect to use such location-based services, we must periodically receive
your location in order to provide such location-based services to you. By
using the location-based services, you authorize us to: (i) locate your
hardware; (ii) record, compile and display your location; and (iii)
publish your location to third parties designated by you by means of
location publication controls available within the applications (for
example, settings, user preferences). As part of the location-based
services, we also collect and store certain information about the users
who elect to use such location-based services, such as a device id. This
information will be used to provide you the location-based services. We
use third-party providers to help provide location-based services through
mobile systems (unless you opt out of such location-based services with
such providers) and we provide the information to such providers to enable
them to provide their location-based services, provided that such
providers use the information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Choice/Opt-Out From Communications

1. Even if you do opt-out of marketing emails, we reserve the right to send you
transactional and administrative emails including those related to the
Services, service announcements, notices of changes to this Privacy Policy
or other Services policies, and to contact you regarding any goods or
services you have ordered.

reasonably practicable. Also, please note that we will maintain Personal
Data in our database whenever we are required to do so by law.

purposes and/or to complete any transactions that you began prior to
requesting such change or deletion (for example, when you enter a promotion,
you may not be able to change or delete the Personal Data provided until
after the completion of such promotion). We will retain your Personal Data
for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Policy
unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
