We use the information we obtain from analytical tools for the purposes of improving our Website. The analytical tools collect only the IP address assigned to your computer or other device and your browser settings as of the moment you visit our Website, rather than your name or other identifying information. We also use standard tools common within the industry, such as DoubleClick for Publishers operated by Google, enabling placement and management of personalized advertising services on our Website. These tools use cookies to target advertising based on what is relevant to you as a user to improve advertising and to avoid showing ads that you have already seen. Cookies themselves contain no Personally Identifiable Information. They relate to your web activity, rather than your identity.

If your web browser accepts the cookie, the cookie will be planted on your web browser. DoubleClick will usually send a cookie to your web browser when you visit any webpage displaying DoubleClick ads. Webpages containing DoubleClick ads include ad tags that instruct web browsers to request ad content from our servers. When the server delivers the ad content, it will also send a cookie. Finally, our Website relies on common industry tools Google Display Network Impression Reporting and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting.

We need this information in order to understand what kinds of creative content we need to develop to suit the interests of different demographic and interest groups.

To do this, Our Partners use technologies such as cookies and web beacons to collect information about your interaction with our Website and third-party websites.

Our Partners use this information to form a more accurate picture of the interests of the audiences with which they interact – including you – so that their ads are more relevant to those interests. In addition, Our Partners may use the information collected from these types of cookie or similar technologies for a variety of other purposes, including:

in conjunction with advertising that appears on other third-party websites;
to measure the effectiveness of web-based and email advertisements;
for reporting website traffic, statistics, advertisement data and other interaction with ads and the websites on which they are served.
Our Partners retain your information in accordance with their legitimate business purposes for processing. Thereafter, the information is removed, archived for restricted legitimate interests, or anonymized. Non-identifying information may be kept without time and use limitations.

Retention of Information

Use for Analytical and Ad Serving Purposes. We use standard tools common within the industry, such as Google Analytics, to collect information about use of our Website. These tools collect information such as how often you visit our Website and what other sites you visited prior to reaching our Website. We use the information we obtain from analytical tools for the purposes of improving our Website. The analytical tools collect only the IP address assigned to your computer or other device and your browser settings as of the moment you visit our Website, rather than your name or other identifying information. We also use standard tools common within the industry, such as DoubleClick for Publishers operated by Google, enabling placement and management of personalized advertising services on our Website. These tools use cookies to target advertising based on what is relevant to you as a user to improve advertising and to avoid showing ads that you have already seen. Cookies themselves contain no Personally Identifiable Information. They relate to your web activity, rather than your identity. Tools such as DoubleClick will send a cookie to your web browser after any impression, click, or other activity by you on our servers. If your web browser accepts the cookie, the cookie will be planted on your web browser. DoubleClick will usually send a cookie to your web browser when you visit any webpage displaying DoubleClick ads. Webpages containing DoubleClick ads include ad tags that instruct web browsers to request ad content from our servers. When the server delivers the ad content, it will also send a cookie. Finally, our Website relies on common industry tools Google Display Network Impression Reporting and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. These tools help us understand the composition of viewers of our Website in terms of gender, age and interests. We need this information in order to understand what kinds of creative content we need to develop to suit the interests of different demographic and interest groups. Our Partners may need this information to develop marketing content. You may, at any time, opt out of Google Analytics tracking, including Google Display Network Impression Reporting and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting, by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On. You may also opt out of ad serving through Google’s opt-out page. The personal data privacy aspects of all Google products, services and features, including Google Analytics and DoubleClick, are covered by Google Privacy Policy. We never combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics or DoubleClick with any other Personally Identifiable Information. Please note that permanent cookies planted on your web browser by Google products to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit our Website, cannot be used by anyone but Google. The ability of Google to use and share information collected by Google Analytics or DoubleClick about your visits to our Website is restricted by DoubleClick Terms and Conditions, Google Analytics Terms of Use and Google Privacy Policy. Please note that you can opt out of ads personalization using Google’s Ads Settings by following the instructions contained on the following resource of Google – Google Ads Settings. If you choose to opt out of ads personalization, you will no longer receive personalized advertising.

Cross-Border Transfer of Information

We generally maintain centralized servers and systems in Europe and may maintain servers and systems elsewhere. These servers and systems are managed by us or on our behalf, or by our affiliates located in Europe. In the event of transfer and processing of your Personally Identifiable Information outside the EEA for the purposes described above, we will ascertain that the information receives the same level of protection as if it remained within the EEA, including when entering into data transfer agreements, using the EU Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses, or by relying on certification schemes such as the EU-US Privacy Shield.

How Secure Is Your Information

We use commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your Personally Identifiable Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction in accordance with requirements of applicable laws.

Use of Information for Personal Advertising

The information collected by Our Partners is used to analyze trends, understand user activities and gather demographic information to enable, manage and develop their personalized ads and related services. Our Partners may share such information with their affiliates. To do this, Our Partners use technologies such as cookies and web beacons to collect information about your interaction with our Website and third-party websites. This type of information does not identify you personally and, typically, is aggregated with other data to create segments – groups of users and general interest categories that are inferred based on a range of factors (for example, “sports fan”). Our Partners use this information to form a more accurate picture of the interests of the audiences with which they interact – including you – so that their ads are more relevant to those interests. In addition, Our Partners may use the information collected from these types of cookie or similar technologies for a variety of other purposes, including:

in conjunction with advertising that appears on other third-party websites;
to measure the effectiveness of web-based and email advertisements;
for reporting website traffic, statistics, advertisement data and other interaction with ads and the websites on which they are served.
Our Partners retain your information in accordance with their legitimate business purposes for processing. Thereafter, the information is removed, archived for restricted legitimate interests, or anonymized. Non-identifying information may be kept without time and use limitations.

Retention of Information

If you reside or are located in the EEA, your Personally Identifiable Information will be stored for no longer than necessary for the purpose for which the Personally Identifiable Information was collected. The length of time Personally Identifiable Information is retained depends on the purpose for which such information was collected and/or as required to comply with applicable laws and establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.
