(b) We may offer the print and digital magazines, websites and other editorial properties published by Hype Content through certain third party websites via subscription pages on such third party websites that are linked to this Privacy Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, such subscription pages are considered “Websites” and this Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the subscription pages, but does not apply to information collected through the third party website.

(c) Except as specified herein, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information you may provide to us offline; however please do be aware that if you subscribe offline to one of the Publications, from time to time we make your postal addresses available to companies for marketing purposes.

(d) Certain features of the Websites may be subject to additional or different privacy provisions, which will be posted on the Website in connection with such features. All such additional or different privacy provisions are incorporated by reference into this Privacy Policy.

3. Information We Collect

(a) Information You Provide To Us:

We collect the information you provide when you enter a sweepstakes or contest, complete a survey, participate in a reader panel, register for a part of our Websites, register for a summit or event, make a purchase, participate in our social networking features, subscribe to our Publications, subscribe to newsletters, promotional correspondence, or other electronic services, or send us an email or feedback. If you elect to post material to any blogs, forums, participate in our social networking features or other community boards that may be offered on our Websites, then such materials will be collected and some information, including your posted pseudonym, may be publicly available for others to view. The information you may provide includes:

Registration or Subscription Information, Communications and Requests from You, and Your Submissions. When you engage in activities on the Website such as those above, you may be asked to provide information such as your e-mail address, name, phone number, shipping address, and billing information, and we (or third party service providers on our behalf) will collect such information as well as any other content you provide us in engaging in any of the above activities. Information such as your age, date of birth, gender, hobbies or interests may also be requested.

Social Networking Information. You may be given the option to link your account on a third party social networking service on the Website. In that case, the authentication of your login credentials are conducted through that third party social networking service. When you link your social networking accounts with the Website or engage with the Website through third party social media platforms, we may have access to certain of your information stored on those social networking media services depending upon the service and your privacy settings. In addition, as you interact with the Website, the social networking service may collect information about your activities on the Websites. We recommend you review the information your third party social networking services may make available to us by visiting those services’ privacy policies and/or modifying your privacy settings directly with those services. As noted below, we reserve the right to use, transfer, assign, share and provide access to all information that we receive through these third party social media services in the same ways described in this Privacy Policy. You agree that we shall not be liable for the use by social networking services of any information.

(b) Information Automatically Collected As You Access and Use the Website:
Usage Information. In addition to any information that you choose to submit to us, to provide you with services and content that are more customised to your interests, Hype Content and our third-party service providers and advertisers may use a variety of technologies (including cookies, Flash cookies, web beacons and embedded scripts) (“Cookies”) that automatically or passively collect information when you visit or interact with the Websites (the “Usage Information”). This Usage Information may include, without limitation, your IP address, the URL that referred you to our Website and all of the areas within our Website that you visit, the websites you visit after this website; the ads you see; the ads you click on; other information about the type of web browser, computer, platform, related software and settings you are using; any search terms you have entered on this website or a referral site; if you share our content to social media platforms; and other web usage activity and data logged by our web servers. Your IP address is usually associated with the place from which you enter the Internet, like your Internet Service Provider, your company or your library. We use your IP address for a variety of purpose, including to help diagnose problems with our servers, gather broad demographic information, and administer our Websites. We may also link this information with your other information when we feel that it is necessary to enforce compliance with our subscription or usage rules and policies or terms of service or to protect our Websites, customers or others.

Usage Information gathered from your use of the Websites may be combined with information from third party sources to identify your location by state and region.

For more information, see “Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies” below.

Geolocation Information. With your consent, certain mobile Websites or a third party such as an advertiser may collect and use your geolocation to provide you with information about goods and services within your geographic location or implement other functionality in the Website, such as to serve targeted advertising. In addition, when you have geolocation software running on your mobile phone, computer or other device, we may collect that information as controlled by your privacy settings on those devices. By using such service, you hereby consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your geolocation information as described.

(c) Information We Collect From Third Parties:
We may acquire information from other trusted sources to update or supplement the information that you provided or we collected automatically, such as information to validate or update your address or other demographic information and lifestyle information. We use this information to help us maintain the accuracy of the information we collect, to target our communications so that we can inform you of products, services and offers that may be of interest, and for internal business analysis or other business purposes. We may also acquire information from other sources about your visits over time and across other third party websites, in order to serve more targeted advertising to you on the Website. Those third parties have privacy policies that differ from this Privacy Policy.

(d) Information You Provide About A Third Party.
At some Websites and through certain promotions, you can submit information about other people such as a person’s name and mailing address to send a gift. This information is used to facilitate the communication or provide the service and may otherwise be used as set forth herein. If that person becomes a subscriber to one of more of our Publications, or becomes an attendee or sponsor or speaker at one of more of our events, his/her information will be treated in the same manner as all others in that category. Please be aware that when you use any send-to-a-friend functionality on our Websites, your email address may be included in the communication sent to your friend.

4. How We Use and Share the Information Collected

In addition to the other disclosures described in this Privacy Policy, Hype Content may (and you authorise us to) share or disclose information collected from and about you on the Websites to other companies or individuals as set forth below. We may provide access to information to vendors that are performing services on our behalf, including managing our email lists and sending email messages on our behalf, providing customer support and performing other administrative services, in order to carry out such services (the “Service Provider Use”).

(a) Provide, Manage and Improve our Website. Hype Content uses information we collect from you in part to provide you with the goods and service you have requested (e.g., to sign up for an account, request promotional materials directly from a third party partner), to respond to your inquiries, to administer the Website and for other lawful business purposes.

(b) Advertising and Analytics. We use the information in connection with advertising and to serve other content, as described below. We also use the information we collect and obtain about you to measure and improve our Website, to customise certain features of the Website, to deliver relevant content and to provide you with an enhanced experience based on the type of device you are using.

(c) Transactional Communications. We use the information to provide transactional or service communications about the Website, such as to notify you when one of your content has been published, when we make changes to subscriber agreements, to fulfil a request for you for an email newsletter, or to contact you about your account. If you wish to unsubscribe from our email newsletters, please follow the unsubscribe/opt-out instructions at the bottom of the newsletter.

(d) Reader Surveys. We may collect information from you in connection with voluntary surveys about your usage of the Website, your household/personal characteristics and your purchase behaviour. The information you provide in any audience marketing surveys will only be shared in the aggregate with advertisers and partners unless we notify you otherwise at the time of collection. Any other survey results may be shared with advertiser and partners, at our discretion, unless we notify you otherwise at the time of collection.

(e) Editorial Use. In addition, we may use information you provide us through emails, blogs, forums, in response to polls, or through any other user generated submission for editorial purposes, and may use your name and any stories you provide us in articles published on the Website. If you provide us with personal anecdotes, they may be attributed to you. Hype Content can edit, rewrite, use, and reuse the content, including your name, likeness, photograph, and biographical information you provide, with or without attribution, including publication on the Website, and in trade media, and advertising. You hereby consent to this.

(f) Marketing. Subject to applicable law, we may combine and use any and all information we collect on you either online or otherwise, including from third parties, for marketing purposes, including sending you promotional emails regarding special offers about our products and services or on behalf of third party marketing partners who we think can offer services and products of interest to you. Unless we expressly notify you otherwise at the time of collection, we also may disclose information that we receive from you and from third party sources to third parties whose practices are not covered by this privacy statement (e.g. other marketers, magazine publishers, retailers, participatory databases and non-profit organisations) that want to market products or services to you. This includes licensing information about your interests and activities, and marketing segments created with such data, which we may share with third parties for their marketing purposes.

(g) Wireless Email Address and Short Message Services. If the email address you provide to us is a wireless email address, we will send you and you agree to receive messages at such address from Hype Content or from third parties. Similarly, we may make available services through which you can receive messages on your phone or wireless device SMS Service. If you subscribe to one of our SMS Services (when available), you thereby agree to receive services and messages at the address you provide for such purposes. Such messages may come from Hype Content, or from third parties. You may opt-out of these messages from us by following the instructions provided in the message. We may also obtain the date, time and content of your messages. We will use the information we obtain in connection with these services in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Your wireless carrier and other service providers may also collect data about your wireless device usage, and their practices are governed by their own policies. By providing us your wireless email address or by signing up for any SMS Service, you consent to receiving messages as described above. You understand that your wireless carrier’s standard rates apply to these messages. You represent that you are the owner or authorised user of the wireless device on which messages will be received, and that you are authorised to approve the applicable charges.

(h) Promotions. By agreeing to participate in a Promotion, you are agreeing to the official rules that govern that Promotion.

(i) Anonymous Information. We may create aggregated or anonymised information about you and other users of the Websites by excluding information (such as your name) that relate to an identifiable individual (“Anonymous Information”). We may use this Anonymous Information for any purpose permitted under the law and disclose Anonymous Information to third parties in our sole discretion.

(j) Third Party Contests and Promotions. In some cases you may have entered a contest or sweepstakes sponsored by a third party, in which case the information you provide via the contest or sweepstakes may be shared by us with that third party for their use in their discretion, including direct marketing. Some of our contests and sweepstakes will ask you at the time of entry whether you would like to have your personal information shared with the sponsor, in which case we will honour your selection. Other contests will not give you that option and in that event, if you do not want your information to be shared, you should not enter the contest. The privacy policies of such third party companies apply to their use and disclosure of your information that we collect and disclose to such third party companies.

(k) Cross-Device Tracking. We may use cookies in combination with the information we collect — for instance, IP addresses and unique mobile device identifiers — to locate or try to locate the same unique users across multiple browsers or devices (such as smartphones or tablets), or work with service providers that do this, in order to save your preferences across devices and analyse usage of the Website.

(l) Affiliates. We may transfer your information to other Hype Content offices and affiliates for internal management and administrative purposes on our behalf.

(m) Administrative and Legal Reasons. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, we may at all times and in any manner access, use, preserve, transfer and disclose your information, including disclosure to third parties: (i) to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, subpoenas, governmental requests or legal process, or in connection with a legal investigation, if in our good faith opinion such is required or permitted by law; (ii) to protect and/or defend the Websites’ Terms of Use or other policies applicable to the Website, their content, services or functionality, including investigation of potential violations thereof; (iii) to protect the safety, rights, property or security of the Website or any third party; and/or (iv) to detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues. Further, we may use Identifiers and other information to identify users, and may do so in cooperation with third parties such as copyright owners, internet service providers, wireless service providers and/or law enforcement agencies, including disclosing such information to third parties, all in our discretion (the “Legal Use”). Such disclosures may be carried out without notice to you.

(n) Sales or Transfer of Business or Assets. In connection with a sale, merger, transfer, exchange, or other disposition (whether of assets, stock, or otherwise, including via bankruptcy) of all or a portion of the business conducted by the Website to which this policy applies, in which case the company will possess the information collected by us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your information as described in this Privacy Policy (the “Acquisition Use”).

(o) Social Networks. As noted, above, if you use your login credentials from a social media networking service on a Website, we may receive information from such service in accordance with its terms and privacy policy and your settings. If you elect to share your information with these social networking sites, we will share information with them in accordance with your election. The terms and conditions of these social networking sites will apply to the information we disclose to them.

(p) Co-Branded Areas. Our Website may from time to time partner with a retailer or other third party to offer online shopping opportunities, games, services, subscriptions, registration opportunities for our events and summits and other applications on a co-branded or cross-promotional basis (“Co-Branded Areas”). Those transactions on the Co-Branded Areas may take place on the Website, or the site of the third party. In either case, the information you provide in connection with the transaction may be collected directly by, or shared by Hype Content with, the third party, as well as with any participating sponsors or advertisers of such Co-Branded Areas.

Our Website may offer you the ability to access a third-party site with whom we have a relationship to access both sites through a co-branded registration or password; in that event, your applicable registration information may be collected directly by, or shared by Hype Content with, the third-party partner. We will notify you at the applicable point of sign up if any such co-branded registration or password practices will be in effect. These third parties will use your information in accordance with their own privacy policy.

(q) Information You Disclose Publicly. You may submit photographs, user profiles, written material, music, video, photos, comments and other content, which may include information relating to individual users (collectively, “UGC”) on the Website. We do not control who will have access to the UGC you choose to make public or how they will use it and take no responsibility for ensuring such UGC remains private or is secure. The UGC is not subject to this Privacy Policy. We are also not responsible for the accuracy, use or misuse of any UGC that you disclose or receive through the Website. Please see our Terms of Use for further information about the terms that govern the UGC you post.

5. Legal Grounds for Using (Processing) Your Information
If you are a visitor from the European Economic Area, our legal basis for collecting and using the information described above will depend on the information concerned and the context in which we collect it. 

We collect information from you:

(a) where we need it to perform our contract with you (i.e. our Terms of Service),

(b) where the processing is in our legitimate interests (provided that these aren’t overridden by your interests or rights)( such as personalising our services and marketing for example), or

(c) if we otherwise have your consent.

If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your information, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “Contact Us” section below.

6. Online Analytics and Advertising

Delivery of Advertising and Other Content. In addition to ads and content that we serve you directly, Hype Content may use third party advertising companies and marketing services to serve ads and other content when you visit the Website and elsewhere on the internet and in other media. We also use analytics services supported by third party companies to perform analytics and track trends. We work with other third parties to provide certain functionalities on the Website and to improve the effectiveness of the Website and its content. Those third party companies may use Tracking Technologies to collect and store Usage Information about you and may combine this information with information they collect from other sources. If you access the Websites through a mobile device or app, we may also share your information with mobile carriers, operating systems and platforms.

To provide ads on the Website, we use a variety of third party advertising service providers, including networks, data exchanges, ad servers, analytics providers and others. The list of third party providers is found in the Section below entitled “Third Party Cookies” here. This list may be updated from time to time. These third parties may use technology to send, directly to your Device, the advertisements and links that appear on the Website. They may automatically receive your IP address, web browser, operating system, and time and location information, geodevice type and device ID when this happens. The third party service providers, as well as the advertisers themselves, may collect and use information about your visits over time and across the Website and other third party websites, as well as information received from other sources, in order to serve more targeted advertising to you on the Website. Third parties may also use information gathered from your usage of the Website to serve targeted advertisements to you on third party websites and applications. Google is one of the companies that we use to serve advertising and perform analytics on some of the Website. We and third party vendors, including Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to help implement the above uses of your information.

We also use Google Analytics along with audience data (such as age, gender and interests of users) to help understand users’ visits to the Website and to optimise the content that we serve to users.

We endeavour to adhere to the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (DAA) self-regulatory principles governing interest-based advertising.

Your Choices about Ads and Analytics.
To learn more about how to manage your preferences regarding our cookie-based advertising, please see the “Cookie Management” section in our Cookie Notice below.

In addition, if you do not want to receive tailored in-application advertisements from third parties that relate to your interests in apps on your mobile device, you may opt-out by adjusting the ad tracking settings on your mobile device. You can also reset the “Advertising Identifier” (like an IDFA) from your mobile device’s settings page, which will prevent continued use of existing behavioural data tied to the previous “Advertising Identifier.” Like the opt-out tools mentioned above for web, these mobile opt-out tools are provided by third parties, and we do not control or operate these tools.

Please note that you may still receive advertisements from third parties within the Website even if you opt out of tailored advertising but they will not be based on your activity across unrelated websites or apps.

Do Not Track. 

Hype Content does not act on “do not track” requests from your browser because, this way, we are able to personalise your experiences on our Website. For more information, go to http://www.networkadvertising.org or http://www.aboutads.info.

7. Data Subject Rights & Your Choices

We may request you provide us with information necessary to confirm your identity before responding to your request.

(b) Marketing Emails. If you want to stop receiving promotional e-mails from us, click on the “unsubscribe” link in any promotional email from us. Please note that once we receive your request, it may take an additional period of time for your opt-out to become effective. We may still communicate with you from time to time if we need to provide you with transaction information about the Websites you are using, if we need to request information from you with respect to a transaction initiated by you, or for other legitimate non-marketing reasons, for example, if we update this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Service.

(c) SMS Communications (when available). You may opt-out of SMS messages from us by following the instructions provided in the message or by texting back STOP to the number we send the text from for that particular SMS message. When we receive an opt-out message from you for SMS messages, we may send a message confirming our receipt of your opt-out.

(d) Geolocation. If you have previously allowed us to access your geolocation data, you can stop making geolocation available to us by visiting your mobile device’s settings for the relevant application or the “settings” page for the relevant game.

(e) California Users: Your California Privacy Rights. Under California Civil Code sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents may annually request information regarding what categories of personal information (as defined by such law) Hype Content shares with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. If you are a California resident and would like a copy of this notice, please contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below at any time. In your request, please specify that you want a “Hype Content California Privacy Rights Notice.” Please allow at least 30 days for a response.

8. Retention of Your Information

We keep your information for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. The length of time for which we retain information depends on the purposes for which we collected and use it and/or as required to comply with applicable laws.
