technologies to analyze trends, administer Services, track users' movements
around the Services and on third party sites, devices and applications, and to
gather demographic information about our user base. You can control the use of
cookies at the individual browser level, but if you choose to disable cookies,
it may limit your use of certain features or functions on the Services. To

We may use third party ad networks or ad serving companies to serve
advertisements on our websites. We pass information about you to these companies
so that they can deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of
interest to you. The information passed to these companies may include, but is
not limited to, your IP address, e-mail address, name, mailing address,
telephone number, date of birth, gender, and any other information you provide
to us. Web pages that are served by these companies will state that they are
"powered by" or "ads by" the applicable company and will contain a link to that
company's privacy policy.
* Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a
user's prior visits to your website or other websites.
* Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads
to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the
Internet.
* Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings.

interest-based ads. Even if you opt out of interest-based ads, you may still see
ads based on factors such as your general location derived from your IP address,
your browser type and recent, previous searches related to your current search.
In the USA you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for
personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info, in Canada at

Tracking technologies on the Services may be deployed by Prime Publishing and/or
by our service providers or partners. Certain tracking technologies enable us to
assign a unique identifier to you, and relate information about your use of the
Services to other information about you, including your User Information. We may
match information collected from you through different means or at different
times and use such information along with offline and online information
obtained from other sources (including from third parties), including, but not
limited to, demographic information and updated contact information, for the
purposes of learning more about you so we can provide you with relevant content
and advertising.
When you receive email messages or newsletters from us, we may use web beacons,
customized links, clear GIFs or similar technologies to determine whether the
email has been opened and which links you click in order to provide you with
more focused email communications or other information, and/or to aggregate that
information with other data we collect to use for some or all of the purposes
outlined in this Privacy Policy.
We and our partners (including but not limited to e-commerce partners,
affiliates, and analytics providers) also may use technologies such as pixel
tags, e-tags, IP addresses, Local Shared Objects, Local Storage, Flash cookies
and HTML5 to analyze trends; administer the Services; collect and store
information such as user settings, anonymous browser identifiers and video
viewing history; supplement our server logs and other methods of traffic and
response measurement; track users' location and movements around the Services;
gather demographic information about our user base; and to improve our
understanding of traffic on the Services, visitor behavior, and responses to
promotional campaigns. We may receive reports based on the use of these
technologies by these third party companies on an individual and aggregated
basis. For example, we may connect information about your IP address to known
corporate or User Information and use the associated information related to
aggregate content preferences to assist in our efforts to market services to you
or the originating corporation(s). Various browsers may offer their own
management tools for removing Local Storage. To manage Flash Local Shared
Objects please click here.
We may use mobile analytics software to collect data and to better understand
the functionality of our mobile software, devices and applications on your phone
and other devices. This software may record information such as how often you
use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated
usage, performance data, and where the application was downloaded from. We may
link this information to User Information.
Prime Publishing and/or certain third parties may collect information about you
for online behavioral advertising ("OBA") purposes in order for you to receive
relevant interest-based advertising on the Services and on other websites,
platforms and media channels. OBA is also referred to as interest-based
advertising.
Prime Publishing displays ads on both the Services and on the Channels. We may
use Online Data as well as other User Information to send you OBA. For example,
if you read an article about a particular subject on the Services, we may use
cookies from a vendor to later serve you an advertisement for a particular
product or service related to the viewed article. These third party vendors may
connect information about pages you visit on the Services with information about
pages you visit on other Channels and show you advertising based on this
combined information. These advertisements may appear when you are visiting a
different section of the Services or on another Channel. Likewise, third party
vendors may serve you advertisements when you visit the Services based on your
interaction with the Services and other Channels.
The specific providers we use for OBA are subject to change. Prime Publishing
allows firms including Google, Datonics, and Magnetic to monitor Company web
sites and newsletters for the purpose of reporting website traffic, statistics,
advertisements, "click-throughs" and/or other activities. These firms may use
cookies, web beacons and other monitoring technologies to compile anonymous
statistics about Company users. Users may go to each firm's site/URL for
information on what is being tracked. Users may go to each firm's site for
information on how to opt-in or opt-out of use of their information and may go
to http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp to opt-out of most
third-party tracking.
For a list of some of the applicable providers click here. For information about
how to opt out of tracking methods for these entities and others, click here.
For more details about OBA and opting out, see Section 15 below.
Online Data is aggregated with the Other Information and data we collect as
described in this Privacy Policy and/or similar data collected by partners to
create groups of users and certain general-interest categories or segments that
we have inferred based on (a) demographic or interest data and GeoIP Data, (b)
the pages you view and links you click when viewing an email or using the
Services and those of our partners, and/or (c) the search terms you enter when
using certain search services. We use this information to get a more accurate
picture of audience interests in order to serve ads we believe are more relevant
to your interests. We store page views, clicks and search terms used for ad
personalization targeting separately from your Personal Information.

In Processing your User Information in connection with the purposes set out in
this Policy, we may rely on one or more of the following legal bases, depending

9. WHAT INFORMATION WE DISCLOSE TO THIRD PARTIES
SUMMARY — DISCLOSURE OF USER INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES
We may disclose your User Information to: legal and regulatory authorities; our
external advisors; parties who Process User Information on our behalf
("Processors"); any party as necessary in connection with legal proceedings; any
party as necessary for investigating, detecting or preventing criminal offences;
any purchaser of our business; and any third party providers of advertising,
plugins or content used on the Services.
We may disclose your User Information to other entities within the Company
group, for legitimate business purposes (including operating the Services, and
providing services to you), in accordance with applicable law. In addition, we
may disclose your User Information to:
* legal and regulatory authorities, upon request, or for the purposes of
reporting any actual or suspected breach of applicable law or regulation;
* outside professional advisors (such as accountants, auditors, or lawyers),
subject to binding contractual obligations of confidentiality;
* third party Processors (such as analytic providers; data centers; etc.),
located anywhere in the world, subject to the requirements noted below in
this Section 9;
* any relevant party, law enforcement agency or court, to the extent necessary
for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal rights;
* any relevant party for the purposes of prevention, investigation, detection
or prosecution of criminal offences or the execution of criminal penalties,
including safeguarding against and the prevention of threats to public
security;
* any relevant third party acquirer(s), in the event that we sell or transfer
all or any relevant portion of our business or assets (including in the event
of a reorganization, dissolution or liquidation);
* any relevant third party provider, where our Services use third party
advertising, plugins or content. If you choose to interact with any such
advertising, plugins or content, information about your activities on the
Services and Channels to provide you targeted advertising based upon your
interests may be shared with the relevant third party provider. If you click
or tap on or otherwise interact with an advertisement, the advertiser may
assume that you meet its target criteria;
* any sponsors of contests, competitions, sweepstakes and prize draws, or
content offerings, the registration data for such events is to be used by us
as part of User Information, and may be shared with the sponsor and others,
subject to this Policy and the sponsor's privacy policy. We may also share
your information with third party vendors involved in the administration of
such events. For contests, competitions, sweepstakes and prize draws, please
read the official rules or terms and conditions carefully before you submit
your information; and
* to third parties whose practices are not covered by this Privacy Policy
(e.g., third party providers of goods and services, marketing and advertising
companies and agencies, content publishers and retailers). Under applicable
law, we may share Other Information with other parties who already possess
your Personal Information in order to enhance their records about you or
enhance their ability to provide products and services.
For some of our Services, we may make some information, such as the name of our
users, their mailing address, phone number, email address—and in certain
circumstances their employer's name, company size and other industry
data—available on a rental or other basis (e.g., sale) to third party providers
of goods and services, for example, when such information is provided in
connection with certain content available on our websites. Depending on where
you reside, when you register for certain Services, we may share the Personal
Information you provide with certain advertisers and sponsors.
Some of the Services may include websites that Prime Publishing operates on
behalf of third parties ("Licensors"). Where applicable, we may share some or
all of your Personal Information with the Licensor; however this privacy policy
does not cover the user of your Personal Information by a Licensor. The privacy
practices of Prime Publishing's Licensors may differ from this policy and we
encourage you to contact those third parties directly if you have questions
regarding their use of your Personal Information. When you use a co-branded
service (a service operated with a partner of Prime Publishing), or register or
otherwise provide information on a co-branded site, where applicable, we may
pass the collected information back to that partner, which may include third
party service providers whose services are embedded into and/or appear within
the Services.
With respect to surveys and quizzes, in the event that responses are publicly
disclosed, users will be notified at the time they take the survey or quiz.
Otherwise we will disclose only aggregate information regarding its users'
responses in surveys or quizzes to other participants in the survey. Where
surveys or quizzes allow users to submit written comments, and where Prime
Publishing advises users of the possibility of such disclosure at the time they
take the survey or quiz, Prime Publishing reserves the right to disclose any
information provided by users, provided that no User Information identifying a
specific user is disclosed.
Prime Publishing and some of our advertisers may use third party advertising
service companies to serve advertisements, for OBA or otherwise, and perform
related services when you interact with the Services. Often, these third party
advertising companies employ cookies and other technologies to measure the
effectiveness of website, app and email advertisements and to create a record of
interaction with our content that they use in conjunction with their advertising
which appears on other sites or applications, or for reporting website traffic,
app use, statistics, advertisement data and/or other activities on the Services.
We also engage third party providers to assist with the segmentation of this
data.
We may also sell or transfer Online Data to certain third parties such as
advertisers who will use this data to serve ads that they believe are relevant
to your interests, and who agree to maintain the confidentiality of this
information. Some of these third parties may combine the Online Data with their
own data about you to form a more detailed picture.
We may engage third party providers to assist with the collection, storage and
segmentation of Online Data and the providers are required to maintain the
confidentiality of this information. These third party providers may collect
User Information from our Services for their own purposes, including but not
limited to monitoring fraud around the web.
We may also engage third parties for the purpose of recognizing our users and
delivering interest-based content and advertisements to them. We may share your
User Information with our partners such as your name, postal address, email, or
other identifier. Our partners may also: (i) collect information directly from
your device, such as your IP address, device ID, advertising ID, and information
about your browser or operating system; (ii) combine User Information about you
received from Prime Publishing with information about you from other sites or
services; and (iii) place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser.

Information; together with any additional requirements under applicable law.
The Services contain links to other sites or partners whose information
practices may be different from ours. You should consult the privacy policy of
these third parties to learn how your privacy is protected.

10. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF INFORMATION
SUMMARY — INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF INFORMATION
We may transfer your Personal Information to recipients in other countries.
Where we transfer User Information from the European Economic Area ("EEA") to a
recipient outside the EEA that is not in an adequate jurisdiction, we do so on
the basis of standard contractual clauses.
Because of the international nature of our business, we may need to transfer
your User Information within the Prime Publishing group of companies, and to
third parties as noted in Section 9 above, in connection with the purposes set
out in this Policy. For this reason, we may transfer your User Information to
other countries that may have different laws and data protection compliance
requirements to those that apply in the country in which you are located.
Where we transfer your Personal Information from the EEA to recipients located
outside the EEA who are not in a jurisdiction that has been formally designated

may request a copy of the relevant standard contractual clauses using the
contact details provided in Section 17 below.
Please note that when you transfer any Personal Information directly to a

with the provisions of this Privacy Policy.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures
designed to protect your User Information against accidental or unlawful
destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized access, and
other unlawful or unauthorized forms of Processing, in accordance with

and/or transfer certain User Information in a non-human readable format to
provide protection. However, we cannot guarantee there will not be a breach, and
we are not responsible for any breach of security or for the actions of any
third parties.
Because the internet is an open system, the transmission of information via the
internet is not completely secure. Although we will implement reasonable
measures to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of your
data transmitted to us using the internet. Any such transmission is at your own
risk and you are responsible for ensuring that any Personal Information that you

necessary to fulfill a legitimate business need.

You may directly take steps to change your preferences as follows:
Your Newsletter and Email Subscriptions. You can opt out or unsubscribe from a
newsletter or other email list at any time by following the instructions at the
end of the newsletters or emails you receive. Please allow five to ten business
days for changes to take effect. On some Services, member service-related
communications are an integral part of such Services to which you subscribe and
you may continue to receive emails as part of that particular portion of the
Services unless you cancel your account, even if you opt out of the newsletters
or email list. If you have provided more than one email address to us, you may
continue to be contacted unless you request to unsubscribe each email address
you have provided.
Push Notifications. We send you push notifications from time-to-time in order to
update you about any events or promotions that we may be running. If you no
longer wish to receive these types of communications, you may turn them off at
the device level. To ensure you receive proper notifications, we will need to
collect certain information about your device such as operating system and user
identification information.
Location Based Services. You may opt-out of having your Precise Location Data
collected by Prime Publishing at any time by editing the appropriate setting on
your mobile device (which is usually located in the Settings area of your
device).
OBA. Prime Publishing strives to adhere to the self-regulatory organization
principles for the DAA (US), the DAAC (Canada) and the EDAA (EU). Online ads on
the Services using Online Data are delivered with the DAA Ad Marker Icon , which
helps users understand how their data is being used and provides choices for
users who want more control. This icon is usually on each of our web pages and
applications where Online Data is collected that will be used for OBA purposes.
The DAA Ad Marker Icon provides information (and links to other information) on
online behavioral ads, who is collecting and using your Online Data, how you can
opt out and more. If you would prefer that we not collect Online Data that may

preferences. However, if you "turn off," purge, or disable cookies or pixel

the features, functions, or services available on the Services.
California Residents. In accordance with the California Online Privacy
Protection Act, we may collect Personal Information about your online activities
when you use the Services. While we give our users many avenues to opt out of
providing Personal Information, we do not respond to Web browsers' "do not
track" signals. California's "Shine the Light" law, Civil Code Section 1798.83,
permits our users who are California residents to periodically request and
obtain certain information about any Personal Information disclosed to third
parties for direct marketing purposes. If you are a California resident and wish
to make such a request or if you wish for us to refrain from gathering your
Personal Information, please submit your request in writing to the contact

accordance with applicable law, the right to object to or request the
restriction of processing of your information, and to request access to,
rectification, erasure and portability of your own information. Where we process
your information on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw
that consent (noting that such withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of any
Processing performed prior to the date on which we receive notice of such
withdrawal, and does not prevent the Processing of your Personal Information in
reliance upon any other available legal bases). Requests should be submitted by
contacting us (using the contact instructions in Section 17 below). If you are
an EU resident and have any unresolved privacy concern that we have not
addressed satisfactorily after contacting us, you have the right to contact the
appropriate EU Supervisory Authority and lodge a complaint.

RIGHTS OF CALIFORNIA USERS WITH REGARD TO THEIR INFORMATION
California users have several rights regarding the collection, use, disclosure
and sale of their information under the CCPA. One of these rights, notice of
collection of Information, is described above; the balance of these rights are
described below and include the following rights:
* Disclosure of information collected and sold
* Opt-out from the sale of Information
* Deletion of Information
* Access and portability of Information collected
* Non-discrimination
Exercising Your Rights, Verification and Timing.
To request Disclosure of Information Collected and Sold, Right to Opt-Out and/or
Deletion of Information or to exercise any other data rights under California
law, please contact us using one of the following methods:
Website: You may visit our Contact Us page and submit a request at
https://www.AllFreeCrochet.com/index.php/hct/contact_us_page
Email: You may write to us to exercise rights. Please include your full name and
email address, along with why you are writing, so that we can process your
request in an efficient manner using this contact form.
Response Timing and Format. We aim to respond to a consumer request for access
or deletion within 45 days of receiving that request. If we require more time,
we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
To prevent an unauthorized third party from accessing or making decisions
regarding a user's Information, we verify all requests to exercise these rights
(a verifiable consumer request). We do not charge a fee to process or respond to
a verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, unfounded or
abusive. We WILL require you to verify the requestor's identity. This may
include furnishing a notarized and signed attestation along with proof of
identity (i.e. driver's license, passport, state ID). A notary will identify the
person appearing before the notary through personal acquaintance or by reference
to significant proofs of identity such as passport, driving license, etc.
Original documents must be mailed, faxed or uploaded via details we will provide
in response to any access related inquiry.
In general, we will verify a request by matching the identifying information
supplied by the user with the Information we already have for the user. If we
cannot verify the user using the foregoing method, we may request additional
information which we will not retain or use for any other purpose.
For all verifiable consumer requests, we strive to respond within forty-five
(45) days of receipt. If we require additional time, which can be up to ninety
(90) days in the aggregate, we will provide written notice. Any disclosures we
provide will cover only the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer
request's receipt and will be delivered electronically in a secure fashion. If,
for some reason, we cannot fulfill or comply with your request, our response
will explain that decision.
Disclosure of Information Collected and Sold. While users have the right to
request different levels of disclosure regarding the collection, use, disclosure
and sale of Information, we have elected to treat all requests from California
residents as an exercise of expanded disclosure requests by businesses that sell
Information. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we
will disclose to you for the 12 months prior to your request:
* The categories and sources of Information collected;
* Our business and commercial purposes for collecting and selling that
Information;
* The categories of third parties with whom we shared that Information;
* The specific pieces of Information collected;
* If we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, we
will disclose:
* For sales - the Information categories for each category sold and the
categories of third parties to whom the Information was sold; and
* For disclosures - the Information categories for each category disclosed and
the categories of third parties to whom the Information was disclosed
To request Disclosure of Information Collected and Sold or to exercise any other
data rights under California law, please contact us using one of the following
methods:
Website: You may visit our Contact Us page and submit a request at
https://www.AllFreeCrochet.com/index.php/hct/contact_us_page
Email: You may write to us to exercise rights. Please include your full name and
email address, along with why you are writing, so that we can process your
request in an efficient manner using this contact form.
Right to Opt-Out. Users have the right to opt-out from the sale of their
Information. We reserve the right to verify all opt-out requests using the
methods described above.
While our agreements with third parties to whom we sell or disclose Information
prohibit the further sale or use beyond the scope of our agreement with them, if
a California user opts-out, we will notify all third parties to whom we have
sold or disclosed the California user's Information within the previous 90 days
and remind them not to further sell the Information. We will not ask a
California user who has opted out to re-opt-in for one year after the California
user opts-out. If the user requests a transaction with us that requires the sale
of their Information, we will inform them that they have opted out and if they
want to proceed with the transaction, we will offer the opportunity to opt-in by
completing a two-step process.
To request Right to Opt-Out or to exercise any other data rights under
California law, please contact us using one of the following methods:
Website: You may visit our Contact Us page and submit a request at
https://www.AllFreeCrochet.com/index.php/hct/contact_us_page
Email: You may write to us to exercise rights. Please include your full name and
email address, along with why you are writing, so that we can process your
request in an efficient manner using this contact form.
Deletion of Information. You have the right to request that we delete any of
your Information that we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. Once
we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request using the process set
forth above, we will delete or deidentify (and direct our service providers,
vendors and other applicable third parties to delete) your Information from our
system other than from our archive servers (which we maintain for compliance
purposes), unless there is an applicable exception.
We may decline to process your deletion request if the Information is necessary
for us or our service providers, vendors or other applicable third parties for a
number of reasons. The following are some of the reasons we may decline your
deletion request:
1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the Information or provide
the goods or services you requested;
2. Detect security incidents, protect, investigate and respond to malicious,
deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible
for such activities;
3. Identify and correct errors that negatively impact intended functionality;
and
4. Comply with a legal obligation, including Federal and/or State tax liability
and reporting.
If we do not comply with a deletion request, we will provide the grounds for our
denial.
To request Deletion of Information or to exercise any other data rights under
California law, please contact us using one of the following methods:
Website: You may visit our Contact Us page and submit a request at
https://www.AllFreeCrochet.com/index.php/hct/contact_us_page
Email: You may write to us to exercise rights. Please include your full name and
email address, along with why you are writing, so that we can process your
request in an efficient manner using this contact form.
Access and Portability. California users have the right to access the
Information we have collected about them in the previous twelve (12) months.
Upon receipt of verified consumer request, we will provide the information in a
readily usable format. You cannot request access more than twice in any 12-month
period.
Nondiscrimination. We are committed not to discriminate against California users
who exercise their CCPA rights. As such, unless otherwise permitted by the CCPA,
we will not deny, charge you different prices or rates, or provide a different
quality level of goods or services, including through granting discounts or
other benefits, or imposing penalties, and/or suggest that you may receive a
different price, rate, or quality level of goods or services. While we do not
provide financial incentives for users who do not exercise their CCPA rights,
please note that some of the functionality of our Website may be unavailable if
consumers exercise their rights to have their personal information deleted.
Authorized Agent. The CCPA enables California users to appoint an authorized
agent to act on their behalf to submit disclosure requests and or deletion
requests under the CCPA. The authorized agent must register with the California
Secretary of State. We will honor a request from an authorized agent provided
you provide written authorization to the authorized agent to act on your behalf
and we can verify your identity and the agent submits proof of authorization.
CCPA Metrics. We are required to compile certain annual metrics regarding the
CPPA including the number of disclosures, deletion and opt-out requests we
receive, the median number of days it takes us to respond and how many of each
were denied. We will provide this information starting in 2021 by posting a link
in this Policy.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") provides recourse for

their rights under the U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that
materials hosted by Prime Publishing infringe your copyright, you, or your agent
may send to Prime Publishing a notice requesting that the material be removed or
access to it be blocked. Any notification by a copyright owner or a person

upon PPL actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing
material or acts are evident. If you believe in good faith that a notice of
copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you
to send to Prime Publishing a counter-notice. All notices and counter notices
must meet the then current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see
http://www.loc.gov/copyright for details.
