We may automatically collect certain information about the computer or devices (including mobile devices) you use to access the Services. For example, we may collect and analyze information such as: (a) IP addresses, geolocation information (as described in the next section below), unique device identifiers including mobile advertising identifiers and other information about your mobile phone or other mobile device(s), browser types, browser language, operating system, the state or country from which you accessed the Services; and (b) information related to the ways in which you interact with the Services, such as: referring and exit pages and URLs, platform type, clicked items, interaction with advertisements, domain names, landing pages, pages and content viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, mouse hover including location and time spent on each area of the page, the date and time you used the Services, the frequency of your use of the Services, error logs, and other similar information. As described further below, we may use third-party analytics providers and technologies, including cookies and similar tools, to assist in collecting and analyzing this information.

We may also capture other data, such as search criteria and results. In some cases, we will associate this information with a unique identifier for our internal use, in which case your unique identifier will be considered our information, and nothing in this Privacy Policy restricts how we may use this information.

1.2.2 Location information

We may collect different types of information about your location, including general information (e.g., IP address, ZIP code) and more specific information (e.g., GPS-based functionality on mobile devices used to access the Services), and may use that information to customize the Services with location-based information and features. 

1.2.3 Cookies and other electronic technologies

When you use the Services, we use persistent and session cookies and other similar tracking technologies to: (a) store your username and password; (b) monitor and analyze the usage of our sites and Services by collecting the information discussed in section 1.2.1 above; and (c) customize the Services to your explicit and inferred preferences.

We along with our vendors may also use other Internet technologies, such as Flash technologies, Web beacons or pixel tags, and other similar technologies, to deliver or communicate with cookies and track your use of the Services, as well as personalize/customize your experience when you are using our Services and/or when you are on other websites when those cookies can be accessed. We also may include Web beacons in email messages, newsletters and other electronic communications to determine whether the message has been opened and for other analytics, personalization and advertising of our products and services “Our Advertising” or “Our Advertisements.” As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather additional information through other methods.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser setting to decline cookies by visiting the Help portion of your browser’s toolbar. If you choose to decline cookies, please note that you may not be able to sign in, customize, or use some of the interactive features of the Services. Please note that if you limit third-party cookies through your browser controls some technologies (including those we or our partners may use) may not respond to your browser controls.

1.3 Information from third parties

We may obtain additional information about you from third parties such as marketers, partners, researchers, data services companies (e.g., for data enhancement) and others. We may combine information that we collect from you with information about you that we obtain from such third parties and information derived from any other product or service we provide.

1.4 Collection of information across personal devices, and applications

Sometimes, we (or our service providers) may use the information we collect – for instance, log-in credentials, IP addresses, hashed email addresses, and unique mobile device identifiers – to locate or try to locate the same unique users across multiple browsers or devices (such as smartphones, tablets, or computers), or work with providers that do this, in order to better tailor features and provide you with a seamless experience across the devices you use to access the Services.

2. What we do with the information we collect.

We use the information that we collect for the following purposes:

for the purposes for which you provided it;

to send you information about your relationship or transactions with us;

to send you alerts or other communications via SMS messages or other media or networks;

to notify you about new features of the Services, special events, or products, services, and special offers;

to process and respond to your inquiries;

to contact you with information that we believe will be of interest to you;

to generate and review reports and data about our user base and usage patterns of the Services;

to perform analytics and research aimed at improving the accuracy, effectiveness, or usability of the Services;

to offer, manage, monitor and improve the content and features of the Services or

to develop new Services;

to allow us to personalize or otherwise provide the content that you see on the Services and mobile applications and to understand how users interact with and use our Services;

to enforce the legal terms that govern your use of the Services;

to administer and troubleshoot the Services;

to associate your activities or customize content across different devices and browsers that you use to access the Services (for instance, computers, tablets, mobile devices, applications and websites); and

to send you offers and Our Advertisements through various channels (which may include, for example, display or email), on our behalf. 

We may send you commercial, promotional emails on behalf of ourselves and our Affiliates. Each such email we send you will have an opt-out that you can use to stop receiving such communications.

3. How we disclose user information with third parties.

We may make your information available to other companies, websites, applications or people in the circumstances described below:

We may rent, sell, or disclose your information to non-affiliated third parties: (a) to provide services or products that you have requested; (b) when we have your permission; or (c) as described in this Privacy Policy.

We may disclose your information to any agent or company that is part of The Rosemark Parties to provide the Services or to communicate with you on our behalf.

We may provide access to or disclose your information to select third parties who perform services on our behalf. These third parties provide a variety of services to us, including billing, sales, marketing, provision of content and features, advertising, analytics, research, customer service, shipping and fulfillment, data storage, security, fraud prevention, payment processing, and legal services. We may disclose your information to third parties with whom we have a contractual relationship for Our Advertising and marketing purposes.

We may access, disclose, transfer and preserve your information when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to:

protect our users and our legal rights, privacy or safety, and that of our subsidiaries, Affiliates, employees, agents, contractors, or other individuals, including by enforcing this Privacy Policy or any applicable Terms of Service;

comply with the law including with subpoenas, search warrants, court orders, and other legal processes; and respond to inquiries or requests from government, regulatory bodies, law enforcement, public authorities, or content protection organizations;

permit us to pursue available remedies, commence, participate in, or defend litigation, or limit the damages that we may sustain; and

enforce this Privacy Policy or any applicable Terms of Service.

We may disclose your information in connection with any proposed or actual merger, reorganization, transfer of control, a sale of some or all of our assets, or a financing or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company. We may aggregate and we may de-identify information collected by the Services or via other means so that the information is not intended to identify you. Our use and disclosure of aggregated and/or de-identified information is not subject to any restrictions under this Privacy Policy, and we may disclose it to others without limitation for any purpose.

4. Our use of online analytics and tailored advertising.

4.1 Online analytics

We may use third-party web analytics services on our Services, such as those provided by Google Analytics and similar providers. These service providers use the sort of technology described in Section 1.2 to help us analyze how users use the Services, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive. The information (including your IP address) collected by the technology will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Services. We also use Google Analytics for certain purposes related to Our Advertising, as described in the following section. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here.

4.2 Tailored Advertising

When you use the Services, we may serve you with ads based on various factors such as the content of the page you are visiting, information you provide such as your age or gender, your searches, demographic and geographic data, user-generated content and other information that you provide to us. These ads may be based on your current activity or your activity over time and may be tailored to your interests.

Also, third parties, including those whose products or services are accessible via the Services, may place cookies or other tracking technologies (such as mobile ‘SDKs,’ which function like a mobile version of a browser cookie and are embedded in mobile applications) on your computer browser, mobile phone applications, or other device to collect information about your use of the Services to (i) inform, optimize, and serve ads based on past visits to our websites and other sites and mobile applications and (ii) report how our ad impressions (for ads for our Services), other uses of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to our websites, mobile applications, and use of our Services. We may also allow other third parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google AdSense, DoubleClick and others) to serve tailored ads to you on the Services, and to access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Services so that tailored ads may be delivered to you when you are using other websites and mobile applications. We also may disclose to third-party advertisers a hashed version of your email address, which may be identified by a service provider for purposes of delivering Our Advertising on the Services, other websites, and/or mobile applications.

We neither have access to, nor does this Privacy Policy govern, the use of cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Services by non-affiliated, third-party ad technology, ad servers, ad networks or any other non-affiliated third parties. Those parties that use these technologies may offer you a way to opt-out of ad targeting as described below. If you are interested in more information about tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver interest-based advertising, you may visit the Network Advertising  Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link, the Digital Advertising  Alliance’s  (DAA’s) Consumer Opt-Out link or TrustArc’s Advertising  Choices Page to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. 

If you have a Google account, we may use Google Analytics to display advertising to you. You can opt-out of Google Analytics for displaying advertising or customize Google display network ads by visiting the Google Ads Settings page. You will need to log in to Google via the Sign In link if you are not already logged in when you visit that page.

Please note that to the extent advertising technology is integrated into the Services, you may still receive advertisements even if you opt-out of tailored advertising. In that case, the ads will just not be tailored.

You can also opt-out of ‘cross-app’ advertising -- interest-based advertising that is associated with your use of our or other mobile applications. To do so, please go to your device settings and opt-out through the controls provided through Google/Android or iOS, as applicable. Each operating system, iOS for Apple phones, Android for Android devices and Windows for Microsoft devices provides its own instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-application advertisements. (We cannot guarantee that these instructions will not change, or that they will continue to be available; they are controlled by each mobile platform, not us.). For any other devices and/or operating systems, please visit the privacy settings for the applicable device or contact the applicable platform operator.

We likewise may work with platform providers who serve advertising across devices. For instance, we may want to reach our web-based customers when they are on their mobile devices. This is done, generally, by correlating common attributes (such as IP addresses, other browser or device information or hashed email addresses) across devices, to infer a common identity across multiple channels. To opt-out of this type of advertising, you can do so by opting out of each separate device or browser, as we have described above.

5. Your Privacy Rights.

If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights. For more information, please see our Supplemental Privacy Notice for California Residents, in this Privacy Policy. 

6. California Do-Not-Track disclosure requirements.

We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our Services for third-party purposes, and that is why we provide above the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-out link, Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out Link, TrustArc’s Advertising Choices page, and the Google opt-out link information in Sections 4.1 and 4.2. However, we do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working on Do Not Track standards, implementations and solutions.

7. How you can access and update your information.

To ensure that you have some control over the information we have about you, you may review and update certain user profile information by logging in to the relevant portions of the Services where such information may be updated (this may be available on some Services and not others) or by contacting us at privacy@rosemarkpublishing.com.

8. How we protect information.

We have implemented a variety of administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect against the unauthorized access, destruction or alteration of your information. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect, process and store and the current state of technology.

 Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot guarantee that information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

9. Linked sites and advertisements.

9.1 Linked sites and advertisements

The Services may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those third-party websites.

We have relationships with third-party providers to provide content, products, services, and functionality through the Services. When you visit sites or use any Services provided in conjunction with one or more of these third-party providers and the brands of those providers appear on the site or Services in connection with such content, products, services, or functionalities, we may disclose any information you provide or that is collected during your use of those Services with those providers.

9.2 Embedded video player

We may use the YouTube branded or unbranded version of the YouTube embedded video player (“YouTube Player”) to display some of our YouTube video content in our Services. YouTube may collect usage data when you use, interact or engage with the YouTube Player in our Services. You can read about Google’s Privacy Policy as it relates to the YouTube Player here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

10. Collection of certain information by third parties through our Services.

For certain advertising that appears in the Services, an advertiser may request, and you may directly provide to that advertiser, information such as your name, home address, or email address. When you provide information in that way, the information you submit may be used by the advertiser in any way that it chooses, including to market to you, or to disclose to others. The information may be covered by the advertiser’s separate privacy policy, but in many cases that will not be the case because the advertiser may have no separate online presence. You should therefore only submit your information in these cases when you are comfortable doing so given the above conditions, and if you have any questions about the privacy practices of an advertiser, you should contact the advertiser itself.

11. Use of the Services by users from outside the United States.

The Services are hosted in the United States and locations outside the United States and are governed by United States law. If you are using the Services from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored and processed in the United States and other countries where our servers are located and our databases are operated. The data protection and other laws of the United States and other countries might not be as comprehensive or protective of certain rights as those in your country. Under United States law, your information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States. By using the Services, you consent to your information being transferred to our facilities and to the facilities of those third parties to whom we disclose it as described in this Privacy Policy and processed in those facilities.

12. Use of the Services by children.

The Services are intended for general audiences, and are not directed to children under the age of 13.

13. How to contact us.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding our Privacy Policy or practices, please send an email at privacy@rosemarkpublishing.com

14. No rights of third parties.

This Privacy Policy does not create rights enforceable by third parties.

15. Changes to this Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in the law, our data collection and use practices, the features of our Services, or advances in technology. Please check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of changes to this Privacy Policy will mean you accept those changes.

16. Supplemental Privacy Notice for California Residents

It applies to personal information we collect on or through the Services and through other means (such as information collected offline, in person, and over the telephone), including from our users, subscribers, advertisers and our other customers, as applicable.
