Personal Information does not include publicly available information. When you visit, use or register on our Sites, place orders for products or services through any of the Sites, participate in surveys, questionnaires, polls and promotions, request information, submit comments, feedback forms, videos, messages, photographs or other content on or through any of the Sites, and/or participate in webcasts, chat rooms, forums, message boards, blogs or other interactive features of or through any of the Sites, or otherwise communicate or interact with us through any of the Sites, we collect certain Personal Information from you. How we collect your Personal Information will depend on how you use the Sites and interact with us. We may also collect demographic information, such as your age, gender and ethnicity. When you provide your payment and billing-related information to us through any of the Sites, like credit card numbers and expiration dates, we immediately transmit it directly to our payment processing company for processing your payments and it is not stored or otherwise used by us in any other manner.We utilize Usage Data through analytics services on the Sites for the purposes of giving us operational and marketing data about your usage of the Sites, including in an aggregate manner that does not identify you to us or in a manner that may identify you to us and that show us which services and features you are using or accessing within our Sites (including, without limitation, whether you may have accessed or downloaded audiovisual material or other content from the Sites), as well as the device type and hardware features, country and language of download. Information We Receive From Third Parties We may receive information about you from third parties. For example, if you are browsing another website and you opt in to receive information from us, then that third party website may forward to us your e-mail address and certain other information about you so that we may contact you as requested. You may also choose to participate in a third party application or feature via the Sites through which you allow us to collect (or the third party to share) information about you, including Personal Information.
We may supplement the Personal Information we collect about you through the Sites with records received by us from third parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content to you, and to offer you opportunities to purchase products or services that we believe may be of interest to you. We may combine the information we receive from these third parties with Personal Information we collect through the Sites. Cookies, Web Beacons and Analytics Services When you visit the Sites through any device, we may place some information on that device in the form of cookies. Cookies are small text files used by many websites to uniquely identify a user’s browser, to store information or settings in a user’s browser to enable the website to recognize the user when he or she returns, or to monitor the user’s website browsing behavior. Cookies also help us to provide a customized experience and may enable us to detect certain kinds of fraud. In many cases, you can manage cookie preferences and opt out of having cookies and other data collection technologies used by configuring your particular browser’s privacy or other settings. Note, however, that if you configure your browser to not accept cookies from us, then some functions of our Sites may not operate as intended and you may not have access to all the services, features and/or promotions we may offer through the Sites.
Web beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags or web bugs) are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, that are placed on website pages and in e-mails and which are used to allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action. Web beacons may be used to deliver or communicate with cookies, to count users who have visited certain pages and to understand usage patterns. Web beacons may be used to measure the effectiveness of our Sites and advertising in certain ways, such as by counting the number of individuals who visit our Sites or open and act upon an e-mail message. You can make some web beacons unusable by rejecting cookies.
As we mentioned above, we may also use certain analytics services and website visit recognition software to improve the use and functionality of our Sites and to build a demographic profile. If third parties provide such analytics services and software, the third parties may also receive the information collected, in which case such third parties’ use of such information is governed by their respective privacy policies. Do Not Track Requests Unless your browser settings are configured to make your online activities and publicly available information about your online activities invisible to website usage analytics tools, we do not presently have the technological capability to omit you from usage analytics to the extent your browser only sends us a “do not track” message and does not otherwise screen you from tracking without any action on our part.
