1. Personal Data We Collect or Process

(a) The Services capture some information about you automatically utilizing background local storage and session storage technologies (“Cookies”). Cookies are small files or other pieces of data which are downloaded or stored on your computer or other device, that can be tied to information about your use of the Services (including certain third party services and features offered as part of our Websites). Examples of information of this type are your IP address, the browser you are using, the operating system you are using, the pages on the Websites that you visit and details of your transaction activity. When we use Cookies, we may use “session” Cookies that last until you close your browser or “persistent” Cookies that last until you or your browser delete them. You may change your browser setting to decline the use of Cookies.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service of Google Inc. which uses Cookies to identify the frequency of use of certain areas of our Websites and to identify preferences. For more information regarding how Google collects, uses, and shares your information please visit http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. The information regarding your use of our Websites that is generated by the cookie (including your truncated IP address) is transferred to a Google server in the United States and stored there. Google will use this information to analyze your use of the Services, compile reports on activity for us, and perform further services associated with website use and Internet use. Google may also transmit this information to third parties where required by law or to the extent that third parties process these data on behalf of Google. You can deactivate Google Analytics using a browser add-on if you do not wish the analysis to take place. You can download the add-on here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Pixel Tags or Clear GIFs, also known as Web Beacons or Web Bugs, are transparent graphical images placed on a website. We use these items on our Websites to permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related statistics regarding use of our Websites (for example, recording the popularity of certain content and verifying system and server integrity).

We operate social media pages on third party networks and have social media icons on our Websites. When you visit or link to our social media pages, data is processed both by us and the applicable social media provider. Social media providers are unaffiliated with us, and we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of social media providers. Social media providers have their own terms of use and privacy policies, and we encourage you to review those policies whenever you visit their websites or interact with their platforms.

We use third parties, including Google Ad Manager and Hashtag, to help us tailor content on our Websites to users or to serve ads or messages on our behalf. Such third parties may employ Cookies and web beacons to measure advertising or messaging effectiveness (such as which web pages are visited, which messages are responded to, or what products are purchased and in what amount). Some of our advertisements are those of our corporate customers and not based on our Websites’ users’ online browsing behavior unless you opt-in to customized advertising when you sign up on our Websites, in which case the advertisements may be based on your online browsing behavior.

We use Hashtag to service our programmatic ads. For more information regarding how Hashtag collects, uses, and shares your information please view their privacy policy here: https://hashtag-labs.com/privacy-policy.html .

When you click on a link that is provided by a third party or available in an advertisement, data is processed both by us and the linked site. Linked sites are unaffiliated with us, and we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of the operators of such linked sites.

(b) We (or our service providers) also collect information that you provide to us or to our service providers voluntarily, such as in the following situations:

• When you sign up to receive newsletters, announcements and invitations
• Register for contests and giveaways
• When you subscribe to our publications
• When you create an account with us

If you contact us, we will have access to the information you provide in the transmission.

We utilize third party service providers to process your payments. To the extent you are redirected to those providers’ user interfaces, information may be provided directly to such providers via our Websites, and accordingly we may receive information about you from those providers in connection with your transactions on our Websites.

(c) We do not knowingly collect information from users of our Websites under the age of 18 and/or their internet usage, and such persons are not authorized to use the Services. If we obtain actual knowledge that a user is under 18, we will take steps to remove that user’s personal information from our databases. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 years old and that you are of legal age to enter into legal agreements, or if you are not, that you have obtained your parent’s or legal guardian’s consent to accept the terms in this Privacy Policy.

Aramedia shares information with third parties that perform services on our behalf, including without limitation our hosting provider, payment processor, publishers, email and mail delivery service providers and professional advisors.

We have relationships with third parties, including those of our advertisers. If you opt in to receive communications from third parties when you sign up on our Websites, we may provide them some personal information such as your name and email so that they may contact you about products or promotions you may be interested in.

When you click on a link that is provided by a third party or available in an advertisement, your data may be shared with the linked site, and Aramedia may receive a commission in connection with your navigation to and activity on such linked sites.

If you opt-in to mobile messaging, we will use information you provide to transmit your mobile messages and respond to you, if necessary. This includes sharing information with platform providers, phone companies, and other third-party service providers who assist us in the delivery of mobile messages. As with all information collected by us, we reserve the right at all times, to the extent permitted by law, to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or governmental request, to avoid liability, or to protect our rights or property.
We may disclose information if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is necessary by law or the legal process, to protect and defend our or others’ interests or property, or to enforce agreements you enter into with us.

We may share your data with a third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, liquidation or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock with such third party.

Aramedia may obtain your written consent from time to time in electronic form by using online agreements or other acknowledgements on the Services, including for any other contemplated uses of your personal data not addressed in this Privacy Policy. Please read all online agreements carefully before accepting them.

4. Text Messaging

We may use your mobile number for authentication purposes. We may send you service-related announcements when it is necessary (for example, if we must temporarily suspend our service for maintenance). Also, you may choose to receive promotional texts from us based on preferences that you indicate. We may offer mobile messaging, where, if you opt-in, you agree to this Privacy Policy and to receive text messages from us. Participation in mobile messaging is optional and not a condition of purchase. The messages we send to you may include marketing messages and service-related communications. Messaging frequency may vary. You must have a wireless device of your own, capable of two-way messaging, be using a participating wireless carrier, and be a wireless service subscriber with text messaging service. Not all cellular phone providers carry the necessary service to participate. Check your phone capabilities for specific text messaging instructions.

Regardless of the opt-in method you utilized to participate in mobile messaging, you agree that this Privacy Policy applies to your participation in mobile messaging. By participating in mobile messaging, you agree to receive autodialed or prerecorded marketing mobile messages at the phone number associated with your opt-in. While you consent to receive messages sent using an autodialer, the foregoing shall not be interpreted to suggest or imply that any or all of our mobile messages are sent using an automatic telephone dialing system (“ATDS” or “autodialer”). Message and data rates may apply. Please consult your mobile service carrier’s pricing plan to determine the charges for browsing data and sending and receiving mobile messages. Under no circumstances will we be responsible for any messaging or wireless charges incurred by you or by a person that has access to your wireless device or telephone number.

SMS/MMS MOBILE MESSAGING OPT-OUT: If you do not wish to continue to receive mobile messages, please reply STOP to any mobile message from us in order to opt out. You may receive an additional mobile message confirming your decision to opt out.

5. Grounds for Using Your Personal Data

6. Storage and Protection of Your Personal Data
