Cookies, Pixel Tags/Web Beacons, Analytics Information, and Interest-Based Advertising technologies.  We, as well as third parties that provide content, advertising, or other functionality on the Services, may use cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and other technologies (“Technologies”) to automatically collect information through the Services, some of which may be considered personal information.  Technologies are essentially small data files placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other devices that allow us and our partners to record certain pieces of information whenever you visit or interact with our Services.

  • Cookies.  Cookies are small text files placed in visitors’ computer browsers to store their preferences.  Most browsers allow you to block and delete cookies.  You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser.  However, please note that if you do that, the Services may not work properly.

  • Pixel Tags/Web Beacons.  A pixel tag (also known as a web beacon) is a piece of code embedded in the Services that collects information about users’ engagement on that web page.  The use of a pixel allows us to record, for example, that a user has visited a particular web page or clicked on a particular advertisement.

Our uses of these Technologies fall into the following general categories:

  • Functionality-Related. We may use Technologies that allow us to offer you enhanced functionality when accessing or using our Services. This may include identifying you when you sign into our Services or keeping track of your specified preferences, interests, or past items viewed;

  • Advertising- or Targeting-Related. We may use first party or third-party Technologies to deliver content, including ads relevant to your interests, on our Services or on third-party websites.

See “Your Privacy Choices and Rights” below to understand your choices regarding these Technologies.

  1. DISCLOSING YOUR INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES. 

We disclose your information to third parties for a variety of business purposes, including to provide our Services, to protect us or others, or in the event of a major business transaction such as a merger, sale, or asset transfer, as described below. This list is non-exhaustive and there may be circumstances where we need to share personal information with other third parties.

Service Providers.  We may share any personal information we collect about you with our third- party service providers provided that they are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal data confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.  The categories of service providers (processors) to whom we entrust personal information include: IT and related services; information and services; payment processors; customer service providers; and vendors to support the provision of the Services.

Business Partners.  We may provide personal information to business partners with whom we jointly offer products or services provided that they are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal data confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.  In such cases, our business partner’s name will appear along with ours.

Brands You Instruct Us to Share With. As stated above, we may partner with brands to offer interactive ad modules with online video gaming features. As part of this experience, you may instruct us to share your personal information with the brand(s) we are offering the ad module with.  Once your personal information has been shared with a brand, it will also be subject to the brand’s privacy policy and the brand may use your personal information for its own purposes, including to send you marketing materials. We are not responsible for the processing of personal information by the brand(s). 

Advertising Partners.  Through our Services and with your consent, we may allow third party advertising partners to set Technologies and other tracking tools to collect information regarding your activities and your device (e.g., your IP address, mobile identifiers, page(s) visited, location, time of day) provided that they are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal data confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.  We may also combine and share such information and other information (such as demographic information and past purchase history) with third party advertising partners.  These advertising partners may use this information (and similar information collected from other websites) for purposes of delivering targeted advertisements to you when you visit third party websites within their networks.  This practice is commonly referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “online behavioral advertising.  We may allow access to other data collected by the Services to share information that may be useful, relevant, valuable or otherwise of interest to you.  If you prefer not to share your personal information with third party advertising partners, you may follow the instructions below.

Disclosures to Protect Us or Others.  We may access, preserve, and disclose any information we store associated with you to external parties, including professional advisers (such as auditors, lawyers and accountants) and law enforcement or other government and regulatory agencies, if we, in good faith, believe doing so is required or appropriate to: comply with law enforcement or national security requests and legal process, such as a court order or subpoena; protect your, our or others’ rights, property, or safety; enforce our policies or contracts; collect amounts owed to us; or assist with an investigation or prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity.

International Data Transfers. You agree that all information processed by us may be transferred, processed, and stored anywhere in the world, including but not limited to, the United States or other countries, which may have data protection laws that are different from the laws where you live.  We have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected and require our third-party service providers and partners to have appropriate safeguards as well.  Further details can be provided upon request.

If we transfer personal information to countries outside the European Economic Area, we will put in place appropriate safeguards to ensure that this transfer complies with the applicable laws and regulations. For more information about these safeguards, please contact us as set forth in “Contact Us” below.

You acknowledge that while doing so, we may continue to collect, store and use your personal information elsewhere, including the United States, as explained above.

  1. YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES AND RIGHTS. 

General.

You have certain choices about your personal information.  Where you have consented to the processing of your personal information, you may withdraw that consent at any time and prevent further processing by contacting us as described below.  Even if you opt out, we may still collect and use non- personal information regarding your activities on our Services and for other legal purposes as described above.

Where we are required by law to collect your personal information, or we need to collect your personal information under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that personal information when we request it, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you. This may apply where you do not provide the personal information we need in order to provide the Services you have requested from us or to process an application to register an account.  In these circumstances, we may have to cancel your application or the provision of the relevant Services to you, in which case we will notify you.

Email and Telephone Communications.

If you receive an unwanted email from us, you can use the unsubscribe link found at the bottom of the email to opt out of receiving future emails.  Note that you will continue to receive transaction-related emails regarding products or Services you have requested.  We may also send you certain non-promotional communications regarding us and our Services, and you will not be able to opt out of those communications (e.g., communications regarding the Services or updates to our Terms or this Privacy Policy). If you have opted out of receiving direct marketing communications from us, we will need to retain certain personal information on a suppression list indefinitely so that we know not to send you further direct marketing communications in the future. However, we will not use this personal information to send you further direct marketing communications unless you subsequently opt back in to receive such marketing communications.

We process requests to be placed on do-not-mail, do-not-phone and do-not-contact lists as required by applicable law.

Cookies and Interest-Based Advertising.

You may stop or restrict the placement of Technologies on your device or remove them by adjusting your preferences as your browser or device permits.  The online advertising industry also provides websites from which you may opt out of receiving targeted ads from data partners and other advertising partners that participate in self-regulatory programs.  You can access these and learn more about targeted advertising and consumer choice and privacy, at www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp, http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/, https://youradchoices.ca/choices/, and www.aboutads.info/choices/.  To separately make choices for mobile apps on a mobile device, you can download DAA’s AppChoices application from your device’s app store.  Alternatively, for some devices you may use your device’s platform controls in your settings to exercise choice.

Please note you must separately opt out in each browser and on each device.  Advertisements on third party websites that contain the AdChoices link may have been directed to you based on information collected by advertising partners over time and across websites.  These advertisements provide a mechanism to opt out of the advertising partners’ use of this information for interest-based advertising purposes.

Please see our Cookie Notice for more information about our use of Technologies and how you can refuse, block or delete them.

Withdraw Consent where we are relying on consent to process your personal information.  However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal of your consent.  If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or Services to you.  We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

Be informed about third parties with which your personal information has been shared; and

Request the review of decisions taken exclusively based on automated processing if that could affect data subject rights.

We also regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, and regularly seek new ways and third party services for further enhancing the security of our Services and protection of your privacy.  Although we will do our best and take measures and efforts designed to protect your personal data, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we do not accept liability for unintentional disclosure.

The value of your data to us depends on how you ultimately use our Services, whereas the value of the referred party’s data to us depends on whether the referred party ultimately becomes a user and uses our Services. Said value will be reflected in the incentive offered in connection with each program.
