We collect information from and about you in connection with the Services. Some of this information may be considered “personal information,” meaning it identifies you or your device or it is reasonably associated with you. We also collect, use, and disclose aggregated or deidentified data that does not reasonably identify you or your device and is not subject to this Privacy Policy.

  • Commercial information, such as payment and billing information; and
  • Other information that relates to or is capable of being associated with you, such as passwords, personal preferences and interests, age, gender, and any other personal information you choose to provide.

  • Device and network identifiers such as your IP address, mobile advertising ID, media access control (MAC) address, and identifiers associated with browser cookies, web beacons and similar technologies we deploy on our Services;
  • Internet or electronic network activity information, such as your Internet service provider (ISP), browser type and operating system version, language settings, access times, pages viewed, the routes by which you access our Services, and your use of any hyperlinks available within our Services; and
  • Geolocation data, such as (i) information that identifies the precise location of your mobile device (when we have your consent to do so) and (ii) your IP address, which may be used to estimate your approximate location.
Cookies and Similar Technologies We and our advertising and analytics service providers use cookies, which are small text files that help store user preferences and activity, similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, ad tags, and SDKs, which are blocks of code provided by our partners that may be installed in our mobile and online applications, to recognize you when you visit our Services, and to collect information such as the number of visits, which features, pages, or content are popular, and to measure your browsing activities. These technologies allow us to optimize the operation of our Services, including by allowing us to help ensure our Services are functioning properly, improve the Services, and to provide, target, and measure advertisements. Information from Third Parties We may collect personal information about you from other sources so we can better understand you and provide you with services, advertising, and offers that may be of interest to you. For example, we may collect personal information about you from:
  • Third-party social media services, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google, that you use to interact with our Services (e.g., to create an account) or that allow you to share information, but always in accordance with the authorization procedures and privacy settings you establish with such social media services;
  • Television services (or “multichannel video programming distributors”) or other third-party services, such as film exhibitors, that distribute our content; and
  • Our unaffiliated partners, such as third-party interactive applications (e.g., mobile devices, third-party services, embedded audio and video players), co-branded partners and websites (e.g., on our Facebook pages), our advertisers, and commercially available sources (e.g., data aggregators and public data sets).
Personal Information We Derive We may derive information or draw inferences about you based on the information we, or our partners, collect. For example, we may make inferences that you are interested in a particular type of content or event so that we can show content or ads that are more relevant to your interests. We may also build a profile of you containing information that we, or third parties, may collect in order to identify you across sites, devices, and over time and may augment your profile with information derived from inferences described above. All of the information we collect about you may be combined and used for the purposes described in the “Use of Your Personal Information” section below.
