5.  Purposes of Processing. 

​

What is Personal Data?

​

We collect information about you in a range of forms, including Personal Data.  As used in this Policy, “Personal Data” includes any information which, either alone or in combination with other information we hold about you, identifies you as an individual, including, for example, your name, postal address, email address and telephone number.

​

Why do we need your Personal Data?

​

We will only process your Personal Data in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws.  We need certain Personal Data in order to provide you with access to the Site or Services.  If you created a profile/registered with us, you will have been asked to check a tick box indicating your agreement to provide this data in order to access our Services, purchase our products, and/or view our content.  This consent provides us with the legal basis we require under applicable law to process your Personal Data.  You maintain the right to withdraw such consent at any time.  If you do not agree to our use of your Personal Data in line with this policy, please do not use our Site or Services.

​

Sensitive Personal Data

​

Subject to the following paragraph, we ask that you not send us, and you not disclose, any sensitive Personal Data, including social security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, criminal background, and/or trade union membership, on or through the Site or Services, or otherwise to us.

​

If you send or disclose any sensitive Personal Data to us when you submit user generated content to our Site or Services, 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 user generated content to our Site or Services.

 

6.  Types of Data We Collect.  We collect Personal Data and Anonymous Data, as described below.  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 that we receive about you and other individuals whose Personal Data we collect.  Anonymous Data might include analytics information and information collected by us using cookies (“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 Site or Services.

 

 

(a)  Information You Provide to Us.  

​

​​​

  • We may collect Personal Data from you, such as your first and last name, gender, email and mailing addresses, age, and password when you create an account to log in to our network (“Account”).

  • Our Site lets you store preferences like how your content is displayed, your location, safe search settings, and favorite widgets.  We may associate these choices with your ID or browser, and you can edit these preferences at any time.

  • When connecting to our Services via a service provider that uniquely identifies your mobile device, we may receive this identification and use it to offer extended services and/or functionality.

  • When you order services on our Site, we will collect all information necessary to complete the transaction, including your name, credit card information and billing information.

  • We retain information on your behalf, such as files and messages that you store using your Account.

  • If you provide us feedback or contact us via email, we will collect your name and email address, as well as any other content included in the email, in order to send you a reply. 

  • When you participate in one of our surveys, we may collect additional profile information.

  • We also collect other types of Personal Data that you provide to us voluntarily, such as your operating system and version, product registration number, and other requested information if you contact us via email regarding support for the Services.

  • We may also collect other forms of Personal Data, such as at other points in our Site that state that Personal Data is being collected.

​

​

(b) Information Collected via Technology.

​

  • Information Collected by Our Servers.  To make our Site and Services more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) collect information from you, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit. 

  • Log Files.  As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files.  This information includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (“ISP”), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.  We use this information to analyze trends, administer the Site, track users’ movements around the Site, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, and better tailor our Services to our users’ needs.  For example, some of the information may be collected so that when you visit the Site or the Services again, it will recognize you, and the information could then be used to serve advertisements and other information appropriate to your interests.  Except as noted in this Privacy Policy, we do not link this automatically-collected data to Personal Data.

  • How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals.  We do not currently respond to “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that might enable consumers to opt out of tracking on our Site.

 

7.  Cookies and Other Technologies

​

We may collect information using Cookies.  Cookies are small data files stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website.  We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Site.

 

We use two broad categories of Cookies: (1) first party Cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device, which are used only by us to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Site or Services; and (2) third party Cookies, which are served by service providers on our Site or Services, and can be used by such service providers to recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites.

Our Site and Services use the following types of Cookies for the purposes set out below:

​

Functionality Cookies

These Cookies allow our Site to remember choices you make when you use our Site.

Flash Cookies

When we post videos, third parties may use local shared objects, known as “Flash Cookies,” to store your preferences for volume control or to personalize certain video features.  Flash Cookies are different from browser Cookies because of the amount and type of data collected and how the data is stored.  Cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash Cookies.  To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash Cookies, click here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html.
