The ads may be based on various factors such as the content of the page you are visiting, your searches, demographic data, user-generated content, and other information we collect from you. These ads may be based on your current activity or your activity over time and across other websites and online services and may be tailored to your interests. Third parties, whose products or services are accessible or advertised via the Services, may also place cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device to collect information about you as discussed above. We also allow other third parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google and others) to serve tailored ads to you on the Services, other sites, and in other applications, and to access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Services. We sometimes provide our customer information (such as email addresses) to service providers, who may &#8220;match&#8221; this information in de-identified form to cookies (or mobile ad identifiers) and other proprietary IDs, in order to provide you with more relevant ads when you visit other websites and mobile applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">We neither have access to, nor does this Privacy Policy govern, the use of cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on the device you use to access the Services by such non-affiliated third parties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">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 tailored advertising, you may visit the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/optout.networkadvertising.org\/?c=1\"><span class=\"s3\">Network Advertising Initiative Opt Out Page<\/span><\/a>, the Digital Advertising Alliance&#8217;s Consumer Opt-Out link, or\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youronlinechoices.eu\/\"><span class=\"s3\">Your Online Choices<\/span><\/a><\/span><span class=\"s3\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To learn more about how to manage your preferences regarding our cookie-based advertising, please see the &#8220;Cookie Management&#8221; section in our Cookie Notice below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, visit the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/adssettings.google.com\/authenticated\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Ads Settings page<\/span><\/a>. We do not control these opt-out links or whether any particular company chooses to participate in these opt-out programs. We are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Please note that if you exercise the opt out choices above, you will still see advertising when you use the Services, but it will not be tailored to you based on your online behavior over time.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Mobile Advertising.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">When using mobile applications from TheWrap or<\/span> <span class=\"s1\">others, you may also receive tailored in-application advertisements. We may use third-party service providers to deliver advertisements on mobile applications or for mobile application analytics. 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 do not control how the applicable platform operator allows you to control receiving personalized in-application advertisements; thus, you should contact the platform provider for further details on opting out of tailored in-application advertisements. Often, you may opt-out by adjusting the ad tracking settings on your mobile device or resetting the &#8220;Advertising Identifier&#8221; (like an IDFA) from your mobile device&#8217;s settings page, which will prevent continued use of existing behavioral data tied to the previous &#8220;Advertising Identifier.&#8221; You may review the support materials and\/or the device settings for the respective operating systems to opt-out of tailored in-app advertisements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Data Security<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We have in place physical, electronic and managerial procedures to protect the information we collect online. However, as effective as these measures are, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Other Important Information<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Children&#8217;s Privacy. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 without parental consent, unless permitted by law. If we learn that a child under the age of 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it in accordance with applicable law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Privacy Information for California Residents<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you reside in California, you have the right to ask us one time each year if we have shared personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make a request, please send us an email, or write to us at the address listed below. Indicate in your letter that you are a California resident making a &#8220;Shine the Light&#8221; inquiry.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you are a California resident, you can also make the following requests with respect to your personal information:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Access &amp; Deletion<\/b> &#8211; If you are a California resident, the CCPA allows you to make certain requests about your personal information. Specifically, the CCPA allows you to request us to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Inform you about the categories of personal information we collect or disclose about you; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we share\/disclose personal information.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Provide access to and\/or a copy of certain personal information we hold about you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Delete certain personal information we have about you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Provide you with information about the financial incentives that we offer to you, if any.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under California law. For example, we need certain information in order to provide the Services to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Verification<\/b> &#8211; We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request, which may include, depending on your request and relationship with you verifying your name, email address, address, and\/or having you respond to an email from us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">You are also permitted to designate an authorized agent to submit certain requests on your behalf. In order for an authorized agent to be verified, you must provide the authorized agent with signed, written permission to make such requests or a power of attorney. We may also follow up with you to verify your identity before processing the authorized agent&#8217;s request.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">If you would like further information regarding your legal rights under California law or would like to exercise any of them, please contact us at the address listed below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Right to Opt Out<\/b> &#8211; California residents may opt out of the &#8220;sale&#8221; of their personal information. We sell certain of your information to third parties to provide you with offers and promotions and opportunities that may be of interest to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Under the CCPA, sale is also broadly defined such that it may include allowing third parties to receive certain information, such as cookies, IP address, and\/or browsing behavior, to deliver targeted advertising on the Services or other services. Advertising, including targeted advertising, enables us to provide you certain content for free and allows us to provide you offers relevant to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Depending on what Services you use, we may provide the following categories of personal information to third parties for these purposes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">For online targeted advertising purposes: demographic and statistical information, user-generated content, device information and identifiers, connection and usage data, geolocation, and social media information.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">For sharing with third parties to send you relevant offers and promotions and opportunities: contact information (e.g., name and physical address) and publication subscription information.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">If you would like to opt out of THEWRAP&#8217;s use of your information for such purposes that are considered a &#8220;sale&#8221; under California law, may submit a sale opt-out request by emailing us at Privacy@TheWrap.com. Please note that we do not knowingly sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age without legally-required affirmative authorization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The CCPA further provides you with the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising your access, deletion or sale opt out rights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Do-Not-Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms. Some web browsers may transmit &#8220;do-not-track&#8221; signals to the websites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. Because there currently is no industry standard concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals, the Services currently do not take action in response to these signals. If and when a final standard is established and accepted, we will reassess how to respond to these signals. In the meantime, please see Online Tracking &amp; Advertising for additional information about privacy choices that may be available to you with respect to targeted advertising.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">International Transfers. The Services are headquartered in the United States. Please be aware that if information you provide to us or that we obtain as a result of your use of the Services may be collected in your country and subsequently transferred to the United States or to another country in accordance with applicable law. By using the Services, you consent to the collection, international transfer, storage, and processing of your information<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Cookies &amp; Tracking Technology<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">How We Use Cookies, Web Beacons, and Similar Technologies and How To Disable These Technologies<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We and third parties that provide content, advertising, or functionality or measure and analyze ad performance on our Services, may use cookies, web beacons, mobile ad identifiers, and similar technologies to facilitate administration and navigation on the Site, to better understand and improve our Services, to determine and\/or improve the advertising shown to you here or elsewhere, and to provide you with a customized online experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Cookies. Cookies are small files that are placed on your computer when you visit a website. Cookies may be used to store a unique identification number tied to your computer or device so that you can be recognized as the same user across one or more browsing sessions, and across one or more sites. Cookies serve many useful purposes. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Cookies can remember your sign-in credentials so you do not have to enter those credentials each time you visit a Service<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Cookies can help us and third parties understand which parts of our Services are the most popular because they help us see which pages and features visitors access and how much time they spend on the pages. By studying this kind of information, we are better able to adapt our Services and provide you with a better experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Cookies help us and third parties understand which ads you have seen so that you don&#8217;t receive the same ad each time you access a Service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but can be configured not to do so or to notify the user when a cookie is being sent.

Some Cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Site to operate, and we refer to these as &#8220;essential&#8221; or &#8220;strictly necessary&#8221; Cookies. Other Cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users and to enhance the experience on our Services. Third parties also serve Cookies through our Services for advertising, analytics and other purposes.

We do not have control over how these third parties use such cookies and similar technologies or the information derived therefrom, and this Privacy Policy does not cover any use of information that such third parties may have collected from you or the methods used by the third-parties to collect that information. These types of cookies include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Advertising Cookies:\u00a0<\/b>These Cookies, defined exclusively by third parties, collect several types of data about your browsing habits, as well as your preferences for products and services.

We, along with third parties, also may use technologies called beacons (or &#8220;pixels&#8221;) that communicate information from your device to a server. Beacons can be embedded in online content, videos, and emails, and can allow a server to read certain types of information from your device, know when you have viewed particular content or a particular email message, determine the time and date on which you viewed the beacon, and the IP address of your device. We and third parties use beacons for a variety of purposes, including to analyze the use of our Services and (in conjunction with cookies) to provide content and ads that are more relevant to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Local Storage &amp; Other Tracking Technologies. We, along with third parties, may use other kinds of technologies, such as Local Shared Objects (also referred to as &#8220;Flash cookies&#8221;) and HTML5 local storage, in connection with our Services. We also may use unique identifiers associated with your device, such as mobile ad identifiers. These technologies are similar to the cookies discussed above in that they are stored on your device and can be used to store certain information about your activities and preferences.
