This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how Blog Giveaways Networks and its worldwide affiliates collect, use, disclose, and retain personal information about individuals that interact with each website, mobile site, email, newsletter, and other online or offline activity, offering, or publication that links to or references this Policy (collectively, the “Services”). This Policy also describes the rights that you may have regarding our processing of your personal information under applicable local law.
By accessing or using any of our Services, you acknowledge and agree that your personal information will be handled as described in this Policy. Your use of the Services, and any dispute over privacy, is subject to this Policy and our User Agreement, including its applicable limitations of liability and the resolution of disputes.
- Cookies/Local Device Storage. The Service will at times place and/or store code or other types of information and/or software on your device or within your browser, such as cookies, locally shared objects, and HTML5 (collectively, “Local Device Storage”). We and third party business partners may independently or in conjunction use Local Device Storage in connection with the Service in a way that collects personal information for the purposes described in the respective privacy policies, including without limitation to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before on the same or different device and to otherwise control and tailor the display of ads to you based on your perceived preferences by collecting data to track the movements of individual users through the Service and elsewhere on the internet over time and across unaffiliated websites, apps, and devices, as well as to help diagnose problems with servers, to gather broad demographic information, to conduct research, to deliver editorial content, to record registration and personalization information, to inform offers that we may make to you, and to otherwise administer the Service. For example, if you register on any part of the Service and are given the option to save your username and password, we may provide this convenience to you via Local Device Storage.
- You May Disable Local Device Storage. If you do not want Local Device Storage, your device, browser, or the settings menu within an application may include an option that allows you to not accept it. However, if you disable Local Device Storage, some portions of the Service may not function properly.
- Tracking Technologies. In addition to Local Device Storage, we and/or our third party business partners may use web beacons, web bugs, internet or pixel tags, clear gifs, digital fingerprinting (aka “Machine Identification”) and similar technologies (collectively, together with Local Device Storage, the “Tracking Technologies”) on the Service, including in our communications with you, such as within e-mail and text messages, in-application push notifications, videos, and throughout your use of the Services. We and our third party business partners use Tracking Technologies to determine which messages have been opened by recipients, and for all or some of the same lawful purposes described above for use of Local Device Storage. For additional information see the Online Behavioral Advertising (OBA) section below.
- Do Not Track (DNT). Your browser setting may allow you to automatically transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites and online services that you visit. There is no consensus as to what DNT means in this context, and since some browsers apply DNT signals by default it does not necessarily reflect our visitors choice as to whether they wish to receive advertisements tailored to their interests. As a result, like many websites, we do not alter our practices when the Service receives a DNT signal from a visitor's browser. As discussed below, you may opt out of the use of your personal information for online behavioral advertising by third parties at any time. To find out more about DNT,
