SHARING WITH PARTNERS

When we share your personal information with certain third-party partners, including marketing and advertising partners, that information includes your name, email address and other information enabling partners to:

• Assist you in using our Services, and
• Provide you with their products or services.

Our partners may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, scripts and similar technologies in order to provide you advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests.

Please note you will continue to receive generic ads. Click here to access our Cookie Notice.

If you are located in a jurisdiction where such sharing requires your permission, we will only do so with your consent. Please note that if you access our services through a tool that hides your location, such as through a virtual private network, you may not receive our request for permission because we were not able to identify you as being located in a jurisdiction where your permission is required.

Further, our partners are prohibited from using your contact information for any purpose beyond those set forth above without your consent. We will not provide our partners with your credit card information. Further information about certain partners we share personal information with is available here.

In the event we collect information from you in connection with an offer that is jointly presented by us and a partner, we will let you know who is collecting the information and whose privacy notice applies, as well as any options you may have regarding the use of your information.

SHARING WITH THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS AND VENDORS

Occasionally, we enter into contracts with carefully selected third parties to assist us in servicing you (for example, providing you with customer service, fraud detection and deterrence or access to advertising assets and providing us with information technology and storage services) or to assist us in our marketing and advertising activities (including providing us with analytic information and search engine optimization services). Our contracts with such third parties prohibit them from using any of your personal information for any purpose beyond the purpose for which it was shared.

If you purchase a product or service from a third party through one of our brands, we will pass your personal information to such third party for them to fulfill your order.

We offer features that allow you to better target who you contact through our products and services.  These features allow you to optimize your campaigns, segment your lists, and better customize your offerings to your customers.  In order to do this, we partner with third parties who can provide you with information about your contacts. If both you and your contacts are located outside of the European Union, this may include demographic information and geographic location.  We require that these third parties are contractually or legally permitted to share this information with you.

In order to provide you with these features, we may send third parties certain pseudonymized personal data about your contacts.  These third parties are prohibited from using this personal data for any purpose beyond that for which it was shared.

We also share non-personal information with certain third parties, including the media, industry observers, marketing and advertising partners, vendors, customers, potential customers or partners. For example, we disclose mobile search trends, email open rates by industry, campaign best practices or the number of users that have been exposed to, or clicked on, our websites or evaluated or purchased our products and services.

Our third-party service providers and vendors may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, scripts and similar technologies in order to provide you advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests. If you wish to opt-out of interest-based advertising click here, or if you are located in the European Union, click here. Click here to opt-out of interest-based advertising on your mobile device(s). Please note you will continue to receive generic ads. Click here to access our Cookie Notice.

CORPORATE REORGANIZATIONS

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, a sale of all or a substantial portion of our assets, or other similar sale transaction, your information will be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you by email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any such transfer and any choices you may have regarding your information.

AUTHORIZED USERS

All users authorized by you to have access to your account can view personal information stored in the account. A primary account holder can view personal information saved in subaccounts to which they have authorized access. We share information about authorized users only for legitimate purposes consistent with this privacy notice, including servicing your account and marketing products and services to you.

LEGAL PROCESS

If legally required to do so, or if we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary, we may disclose your personal information to courts of law, public authorities (including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements), and other relevant third parties, such as internet service providers, to conduct an investigation, respond to a third party or law enforcement subpoena or court order, to bring legal action, prevent harm to others or pursue other relief when you or a third party are or may be:

• Violating our terms and conditions of use;
• Causing injury or other harm to, or otherwise violating the property or other legal rights, of us, other users, or third parties; or
• Violating federal, state, local, or other applicable law.
• This disclosure can include transferring your information to the U.S. and other countries outside the European Economic Area. To the extent we are legally permitted to do so, we will notify you in the event that we are required to provide your personal information to third parties in connection with a subpoena.

SECURITY

The transmission of information via the internet, email or text message is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted through the Services or over email; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft and unauthorized use, access or modification.

When we collect financial account information, such as credit card numbers, we protect its transmission through the use of encryption such as the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol.

TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES AND ONLINE ADVERTISING

COOKIES

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or another internet-enabled device that enable our features and functionality. They allow us to record information when you visit or interact with our websites, products, and services (collectively, our “Websites”). Other tracking technologies, such as web beacons and pixels work similarly to cookies, placing small data files on your device that monitor your Website activity.

HOW DO WE USE COOKIES?

We use cookies and other tracking technologies to make our Websites easier to use and to better tailor them to your interests and needs. We use the information we obtain from cookies and other tracking technologies to carry out profiling activities in order to learn more about you and offer you tailored advertising based on your behavior on our Websites. We also use these technologies to compile information that allows us to better understand our customers and visitors.

WHAT KINDS OF COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES DO WE USE?

1.      PERSISTENT AND SESSION COOKIES

We use two categories of cookies: Persistent cookies and session cookies. Persistent cookies are cookies that help us recognize you. They are stored on your device in between browser sessions, allowing us to remember your preferences and actions across multiple sites and on multiple visits. Session cookies expire at the end of your browser session, allowing us to link your actions during a particular browsing session.

2.      THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

In addition to the first party cookies set by us, we also allow third parties to set cookies on our Websites.  Third parties may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, scripts and other similar tracking technologies to enable the third party’s features or functionalities to be provided through the Website you are using. The third-arty setting these cookies can recognize your device both when it visits our Website and when it visits certain other websites or services. For example, our paid endorsers, or affiliates, may use third-party cookies to identify you as a referral so they can be compensated if you sign up for services from us as a result of visiting one of our paid endorsers. For example, third-party vendors such as Google may use cookies or other device identifiers to provide you with targeted advertisements based on your past visits to our Website.

3.      CROSS-DEVICE TRACKING

We perform cross-device tracking which allows us to provide more relevant advertising to you on multiple devices. We do this by identifying browsing activity on your smartphones, tablets, desktop computers and other devices connected to the same IP address or logged into the same account to better understand the products and services that might be of interest to you.

4.      LOCAL STORAGE OBJECTS

We also use Local Storage Objects (LSOs), such as HTML5, to, among other things, optimize screen presentation, video, and other preference information.

5.      GOOGLE ANALYTICS

We use Google Analytics which is a web analytics tool that helps us understand how users engage with our Websites. Like many services, Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to track user interactions as in our case, where they are used to collect information about how users use our Website. This information is used to compile reports and to help us improve our Websites. The reports disclose website trends without identifying individual visitors.

WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?

We use the following types of cookies for the reasons described below.  These cookies may be set by us or a third-party service provider to perform the functions described below:

Required: These cookies and tracking technologies are required to help our websites work correctly.  For example, these cookies allow you to navigate our Website and use essential features, including secure areas and shopping baskets.
Analytics: These cookies and tracking technologies help us understand how customers and visitors interact with our Websites.  They provide us with information about areas of our Websites visited, time spent on our Websites, transactions performed, and any error messages you receive.  These cookies allow us to improve the performance of our Websites.  They may collect your IP address but only for the purpose of identifying general locations of visitors and identifying fraudulent or spam traffic.
Functional: These cookies and tracking technologies allow our Websites to remember choices you make to give you better functionality and a personalized experience.  For example, when you select a specific currency on one of our Websites, we will remember your currency selection when you return.
Advertising: These cookies and tracking technologies allow us to deliver content, including advertisements, relevant to your specific interests.  This content may be delivered on our Websites or on third-party websites or services.  They allow us to understand and improve the relevancy of our advertisements.  They may track personal information, including your IP address.

HOW CAN I CONTROL COOKIES?

If you visit our Websites from the European Union and/or the European Economic Area, only required cookies, as described above, will be used on our Websites by default. Other cookies and tracking technologies will only be used when you consent by visiting each Website’s Cookie Management Center at http://preferences-mgr.truste.com/, where available.

Where you visit our Website from outside Europe, all cookies and similar tracking technologies described above will be used by default. If you would prefer not to receive personalized ads based on your browser or device usage, you may generally express your opt-out preference to no longer receive tailored advertisements.  Please note that you will continue to see advertisements, but they will no longer be tailored to your interests.

If you opt-out of receiving certain cookies from us, your web browser will be associated with a generic “opt-out” cookie, which will prevent us from associating any non-personal information with your browser.  Our “opt-out” cookie has no expiration date. Since this program is cookie-based, you may need to opt-out again if you do any of the following:

• Delete your cookies;
• Block cookies, including third-party cookies;
• Switch internet browsers;
• Change computers; or
• Upgrade your web browser.
• Internet browsers allow you to change your cookie settings via the “options’ or “preferences” menu in your browser. Please note that if you set your browser to refuse or block all cookies, certain features or functionalities of our Websites will be limited or unavailable to you.

Some internet browsers include the ability to transmit “do not track” signals. Because no industry standard has yet been developed with respect to “do not track,” our Websites do not currently process or respond to such “do not track” signals.

Some internet browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5 and other Local Storage Objects.

You can opt-out of Google’s use of cookies or device identifiers without affecting how you visit or use our Website. For more information on opting out of Google’s use of cookies across all websites you use, visit this Google page: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated. To provide you with more choice on how your data is collected by Google Analytics, Google has developed an opt-out browser add-on, which is available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and enables you to opt-out of being tracked by Google Analytics.

THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE BY OUR USERS

Some of our Services provide links to other websites. Because we do not control the information policies or practices of these third-party sites, you should review their privacy policies to learn about how they collect and use personal information.

You may also log in to some of our Services using sign-in services such as Facebook Connect or an Open ID provider. These services will authenticate your identity and provide you with the option to share certain personal information with us, such as your name and email address to pre-populate our sign-up form. For example, if you take advantage of certain of our social media features, such as the Facebook Like button, and widgets, such as the “Share This” button or interactive mini-programs that run on our site, the applicable social networking sites may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our websites, and may set a cookie to enable it to function properly.

CHILDREN

Our Services are not directed to persons under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18.

DATA TRANSFER

In order for us to provide the Services to you, your personal information will be transferred to, and stored at/processed in the United States.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal data is treated securely and in accordance with this notice.

We do not sell Customer data.  Data transfer is only accomplished for the provision of Services or as outlined above.

Affiliate Disclosure

We may affiliate with certain products and companies. We will disclose such links so that you are aware.

The reason that these are in place is because the small commissions add up and help support the costs to run our sites without being overly intrusive to our audiences and customers’ experience and learning on the site.

These commissions will never come at a cost to yourself and ‘we vow that whether a particular product offers a commission or not, it will never influence our recommendations.  We value your trust and we do not want to do anything to harm that.

With affiliate transactions, other than sharing anonymized traffic data, we do not share any of your data with our affiliate partners.  If you choose to purchase from them, your relationship is with them and subject to their privacy rules.

We reserve the right to modify this privacy notice at any time, so please review it frequently. If we decide to change this privacy notice in any material way, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on www.anadarservices.com or the website of the APS product or service you use prior to the change becoming effective.
