  1. Information automatically collected

Our Services automatically log certain information about visits to our Services, such as the number and frequency of visitors, technical information about browsers and devices used to access our Services, and information about crashes or other technical issues.  In addition, we and third parties may automatically collect certain information through automated means about your activities over time across our Services as well as across third-party sites, apps or other media.  The tools that collect this information vary depending on our Services and include technologies such as cookies, web beacons, tags, scripts, pixels, local shared objects (including HTML5 cookies) and software development kits (“SDKs”).  These technologies may be included in our web pages, mobile apps, emails, and other digital content.  The tools may assign or collect unique cookie IDs or other identifiers associated with your browser or device.  The tools may collect information while you are using our Services or while they are running in the background of your device.  Please see our Cookie Policy for more information.

The information automatically collected may include:

  1. Information about your computer, device, browser and operating system (e.g., type, model, or version).
  2. Internet protocol (IP) address, which may be used to derive your general geographic area (e.g., city and country).

For more information about the use of automated means in the context of interest-based advertising and how you can limit tracking for advertising and marketing purposes, including interest-based advertising.

  1. Information we obtain from other sources

We may receive information about you from other sources and it may be combined with other information about you.  For example, we may obtain data from:

Operators of third-party sites or apps, content distribution channels and platforms (e.g., Roku, Amazon Fire TV), voice-activated assistants (e.g., Amazon Alexa, Google Home) or other devices and technologies when you interact with our content, products, services or ads available on those channels and platforms.  The information we receive may include information about the content you view or access as well as your demographic information and information about your interests.

Third-party data suppliers such as data aggregators, data resellers, public databases and business partners.  They may provide us with demographic information, information about your purchases, and other information that helps us learn about you and other users of our Services.

Social media platforms and similar services (“Social Media Platforms”).  When you engage with our content or ads on Social Media Platforms, or interact with features on our Services that contain content or features provided by Social Media Platforms (e.g., login or sign in features or tools that allow you to share our content with others on Social Media Platforms), we may obtain information from Social Media Platforms, including your username, user ID, demographic information and other information, subject to the settings and privacy practices of the relevant Social Media Platform.  We may obtain this information directly from the Social Media Platform or through plug-ins, integrations or applications.  Please keep in mind that the operators of the Social Media Platforms may also gather information about your use of our Services and their features and tools.

  1. How we use information we obtain

If you make a purchase or place an order through or in connection with a Service, we use your payment card information (e.g., your card number and expiration date) for limited purposes such as to process your transaction (including recurring payments, if applicable), to provide you with the requested products or services and for the purposes described under the section “To protect our rights or the rights of others” below.

With respect to information other than your payment card information, we use that information:

  1. To provide you with our Services.  This includes: 
  1. Processing your requests regarding our Services and our subscriptions, products or services, or your participation in a survey, sweepstakes, contest, promotion, event or similar initiative.
  2. Providing customer assistance or technical support.
  3. Customizing content, providing recommendations and enhancing the quality and your overall experience with our Services, including by retaining your user preferences or presenting content in the most effective manner for the browser or device you use to access our Services.
  4. Maintaining, operating, improving and developing our Services and related content, products or services, including developing new products and features based on users’ interactions with our Services.
  5. Learning about users of our Services and analyzing how you and others interact with and respond to our Services, including by measuring and optimizing usage, reliability and performance, conducting market research, analyzing trends, and supporting our operations (e.g., for accounting, auditing, financial, legal or other purposes).
  6. To communicate with you.  This includes:
  1. Sending you informational messages about our Services (e.g., to confirm your subscription or notify you of changes to a Service).
  2. Delivering marketing or promotional communications, including offers or promotions about our or third parties’ products, services or other initiatives.
  3. Responding to your questions or addressing your requests.
  4. Communicating with you about surveys, sweepstakes, contests, promotions or events.
  5. For advertising and marketing purposes, including interest-based advertising.  This includes: 
  1. Developing, managing and conducting advertising and marketing campaigns, promotions and offers, including about our content, products and services or third parties’ products, services and other initiatives.
  2. Interest-based advertising (also known as targeted or personalized advertising or ads) is advertising based on your interests as inferred from your activities over time on our Services and online services operated by third parties, as well as information from other sources, including information collected offline.  Interest-based ads may consist of text ads, images, animations or videos and may be displayed to you based on various factors, including the context of the site or app in which they appear (e.g., sport or travel section), information you provided to the operator of the site or app (e.g., when you created an account), your activities on the site or app (e.g., pages viewed, searches performed or ads clicked), and information such as your demographic, interests and household information.  

On our Services and on third-party sites, apps or other media, we, our service providers and third parties may use automated means to (a) collect information for interest-based advertising purposes or (b) serve you interest-based ads.  These automated means vary depending on our Services and include technologies such as cookies, web beacons, tags, scripts, pixels, local shared objects (including HTML5 cookies) and SDKs.  These technologies may use unique identifiers associated with your browser or device to support interest-based advertising.

We may use and/or combine online and offline information we obtain about you, including your personal information, for interest-based advertising purposes.  We may aggregate the information we obtain to create audiences that are most likely to respond to ads based on demographic, interests or household information.

Interest-based ads may be displayed to you by third parties, such as ad networks or exchanges.

There are steps you can take to limit the collection of your information for interest-based advertising purposes.  These steps vary for the web and mobile app environments and are browser and device specific.  To learn more about interest-based advertising and opt-out choices, see http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and in the section Interest-Based Ads Opt-Outs.

  1. Cross-device linking.  If you access our Services from multiple browsers or devices, we, our service providers and third parties may try to establish connections among and link the different browsers and devices you use to access our Services and our content or ads published elsewhere.  This helps us provide you with a seamless experience across the browsers and devices you use and serve you with more relevant content and ads (e.g., so that we don’t show you the same article twice).  See section Website (Browser) Opt-Outs for steps you can take to limit browser and mobile app tracking for interest-based advertising purposes.

  3.
