COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

Like many websites, we use tracking technologies such as cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to record your preferences, track the use of our Websites, and measure exposure to our online advertisements. We may also use these technologies to monitor traffic, improve the Websites, and make it easier to use and more relevant. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies but, if you prefer, you can usually modify your browser setting to disable or reject cookies. In addition, you may also render some web beacons unusable by rejecting or removing their associated cookies. If you delete your cookies or if you set your browser to decline cookies, some features of the Websites may not work or may not work as designed.

We use third-party analytics services on the Websites, including Google Analytics. These analytics service providers use cookies or other tracking technologies to help us analyze how users interact with and use our Websites, compile reports about activity on Websites, and provide us other services. The technologies may collect information such as your IP address, time of visit, whether you are a return visitor, any referring website, and other information. We do not use these analytics service providers to gather information that personally identifies you. The information generated by Google Analytics will be transmitted to and stored by Google and will be subject to Google’s privacy policies. To learn more about Google’s partner services and to learn how to opt out of tracking of analytics by Google click here.

 

We work with third-party companies who provide advertisements on our Websites and other third-party websites. These third parties may use these technologies to collect information about you when you use the Websites. They may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services. They may also use persistent identifiers to track your Internet usage across other websites in their networks beyond our Websites. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based advertising or other targeted content. We do not knowingly provide these entities with information that personally identifies you. However, such third parties may have sufficient data from other sources to be able to personally identify you. Some content, applications, and advertisements on the Websites may be served by unaffiliated third parties. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices on any website not operated by us to which our Websites links or that links to our Websites.

Your browser or device may include “Do Not Track” functionality. Our information collection, disclosure practices, and the choices that we provide, will continue to operate as described in this Privacy Policy, whether or not a Do Not Track signal is received.

YOUR CHOICES ABOUT HOW INFORMATION ABOUT YOU IS USED AND SHARED

In many instances, you have choices about the information you provide and how we use that information. These choices are described below.

Marketing Emails: By providing us with an e-mail address, you acknowledge that we may use your e-mail address to communicate with you. While you cannot opt-out of receiving notifications and other service-related communications regarding your account or your transactions, you can opt-out of receiving promotional and other marketing emails from us by using the “unsubscribe” feature in our marketing e-mails.

Third-Party Business Partners: You can opt out of the information we share with third-party business partners for their own marketing purposes by sending us an email at [email protected] and include “Opt-out of business partner marketing” in the subject line.

Precise Location Information: Most mobile devices allow you to control or disable the use of precise location services by any application on your mobile device through the device’s settings menu.

Interest-Based Advertising Choices: You also have choices related to interest-based advertising. Many browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser’s setting to decline cookies if you prefer. Note that if you choose to remove cookies, you may remove opt-out cookies that affect your advertising preferences.

Many of the third-party advertisers that place tracking tools on our Websites are members of programs that offer you additional choices regarding the use of information about you for advertising. You can learn more about the options available to limit these third parties’ use of your information by visiting the websites for the Network Advertising Initiative, Digital Advertising Alliance, and Facebook. Similarly, you can learn about your options to opt-out of mobile tracking by certain advertising networks through your device settings. For more information about how to change these settings, see the support information for Apple, Android or Windows devices.

 

Please note that opting-out of participating advertising networks services does not mean that you will not receive advertising while using our Websites or on other websites, nor will it prevent the receipt of interest-based advertising from third parties that do not participate in these industry programs.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Users Under Eighteen: Our Websites are intended for users ages 18 and older only. If we become aware of information in our database that was collected from a child under 18, we will delete such information.

Users Outside of the United States: If you use our Websites outside of the United States, you understand and consent to the transfer of information we collect from or about you to, and the collection, processing, and storage of information about you in, the U.S. and elsewhere. The laws in the U.S. and these countries may be different from the laws of your country.

Users in California

Your California Privacy Rights: If you are a California resident and customer, California law permits you to request certain information regarding the disclosure of your information about you by us and our related companies to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send your request to [email protected] and “California Shine the Light” in the subject line.

California Consumer Privacy Act

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides California residents with rights to receive certain disclosures regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information about them, as well as rights to know/access, correct, delete, and limit disclosure of personal information. You have the right to be free from discrimination based on your exercise of your CCPA rights. To the extent that we collect personal information that is subject to the CCPA, that information, our practices, and your rights are described below.

Notice at Collection Regarding the Categories of Personal Information Collected

You have the right to receive notice of certain information about our data collection, use, and disclosure. The following table summarizes the categories of personal information we collect; the categories of sources of that information; whether we disclose, sell, or share that information to service providers or third parties, respectively; and the criteria we use to determine the retention period for such information. The table also summarizes the categories of “sensitive” personal information that we collect, the purposes for which such information is used, and whether we sell or share such information.  The categories we use to describe personal information are those enumerated in the CCPA. We collect this personal information for the purposes described above in “How We Use Information we Collect from or About You.”

 

We determine the retention period for each of the categories of personal information listed above based on (1) the length of time we need to retain the information to achieve the business or commercial purpose for which it was obtained, (2) any legal or regulatory requirements applicable to such information, (3) internal operational needs, and (4) any need for the information based on any actual or anticipated investigation or litigation.

Entities to whom we disclose information for business purposes are service providers, which are companies that we engage to conduct activities on our behalf. We restrict service providers from using personal in-formation for any purpose that is not related to our engagement. 

Entities to whom we “sell” or with whom we “share” information are third parties. Under the CCPA, a business “sells” personal information when it discloses personal information to a company for monetary or other benefit. A company may be considered a third party either because we disclose personal information to the company for something other than an enumerated business purpose under California law, or because its contract does not restrict it from using personal information for purposes unrelated to the service it provides to us.  A business “shares” personal information when it discloses personal information to a company for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising.

Your rights under the CCPA

• Opt out of sale or sharing of personal information: You have the right to opt out of our sale or sharing of your personal information to third parties. To exercise this right, please visit our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information webpage or contact us. Your right to opt out does not apply to our disclosure of personal information to service providers.
• Know and request access to and correction or deletion of personal information: You have the right to request access to personal information collected about you and information regarding the source of that personal information, the purposes for which we collect it, and the third parties and service providers to whom we sell, share, or disclose it. You also have the right to request in certain circumstances that we correct personal information that we have collected about you and to delete personal information that we have collected directly from you. Please contact us to exercise these rights.

Financial incentives

• We may offer you the opportunity to participate in special promotions and programs from time to time. Your participation is voluntary. If we provide this offer, we will obtain your consent to collect your Personal Information in connection with your participation. The category of Personal Information we collect is Personal Identifiers (including ZIP code), gender, age, and audio and visual information that you share with us, which we use to facilitate your participation in the program and to market to you. If we run the program jointly with a business partner, we may disclose the information to that business partner. 
• You may opt in to the program using the means we present to you, such as an online registration page, at the time we make the offer. You may opt out of the program at any time. 
• The program we offer may qualify as a financial incentive program (FIP) under California law. We are required to explain how the value you receive from FIPs is reasonably related to the value that we receive from the Personal Information you provide to us. We use the Personal Information you provide to market to you, including by sending you direct marketing emails. We disclose the Personal Information you provide to business partners because it gives them an opportunity to find new audiences that may like their products. These activities generate revenue for us that we believe is reasonably related to the benefit you receive from participating in the program. Our good faith estimate of the value of your Personal Information is $1.00. We calculated that value using expenses related to the collection of consumers’ personal information. We believe this value is reasonable because it is based on the average expenses associated with recently run sweepstakes.
