Introduction

We provide content through our Website and email—both Thereads Online and our affiliated entities. Our business also includes marketing and data services designed to connect advertisers with specific consumer audiences. To do this, we collect information about individuals and use it across multiple advertising channels: digital platforms, mobile applications, email marketing, telemarketing, and others. Part of our business involves sharing and selling this consumer data, and we offer behavioral advertising that follows your activity across different websites and applications.

This privacy policy outlines what personal information we collect from and about you when you visit Thereads Online, as well as the methods and purposes for which we collect, use, maintain, and disclose that information. Additional website information can be found in our terms of service.

Please take the time to read this policy carefully so you know what our policies and practices are regarding your personal information. If our policies and practices aren’t acceptable to you, then don’t use our website or subscribe to our email list. Whenever you access or use this website or interact with our other services, you’re agreeing to be bound by this privacy policy.

What This Policy Covers And Third-Party Links:

This Privacy Policy applies exclusively to the personal information you provide to Thereads Online. It does not extend to information collected, processed, or stored by any other website or entity, including those linked from our website or newsletters. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any websites you access through links from Thereads Online.

How We Collect Your Personal Information:

We collect information through this website that you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any information submitted through an inquiry form. We may supplement the information you provide with additional data obtained from third parties, including affiliates, marketing or advertising partners, data brokers, and other third-party data providers. Certain third parties are entities that have obtained your personal information from their own services. We also automatically collect additional information using cookies and other tracking technologies to perform analytics on our website and to facilitate advertising. See below for more information.

Categories of Personal Data We Collect:

“Personal information” refers to all data or information, regardless of format, processed in the course of the Company’s operations that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with a particular consumer or household, whether directly or indirectly.

You may be required to submit personal information when registering or subscribing to the Thereads Online, including your name, date of birth, street address, e-mail address, and phone number. Additional information is collected automatically via cookies and similar technologies, such as IP address, imprecise geolocation (inferred from your IP address), device ID, date and time of access, browsing patterns, and click activity. We may also obtain advertising-related information from data brokers or public databases, including interests, demographic attributes, prior locations, or purchase history. Certain limited categories of sensitive personal information may also be collected. More information about your rights appears below. “Your Privacy Rights” below.

California law requires us to disclose the types of information we have collected in the last year. The data we have collected includes identifiers (like your name, online usernames, email, or other similar unique identifiers); the personal information categories listed in Cal. Civ. Code Section 1798.80(e)) (the California Customer Records Statute) such as information that can be associated with someone in particular but isn’t available through public records; characteristics that are protected under California or U.S. federal law, like gender or race; internet or network activity, such as your browsing history; commercial information, including past purchases; professional or employment-related information, like your resume or current job; imprecise geolocation data; and inferences we can make from other personal information.

We may sell or share the information we collect with third parties and affiliates for marketing and advertising purposes. You have the right to opt out of these uses at any time by visiting here or by calling (855) 576-0904.

Handling of Sensitive Information

We do not directly gather Sensitive Personal Information, including information related to race/ethnicity, religious affiliation, precise geolocation, LGBTQ+ status, health status, financial accounts, or citizenship. That said, automated data collection tools such as cookies may capture information about your browsing behavior, which could suggest an interest in sensitive topics or group membership. As an example, visiting content directed at a particular ethnic community or health condition may imply such interest. While we do not create these inferences ourselves, our affiliated group of companies or other third parties with whom data is shared may do so. Where prohibited by state or local law, no sensitive inferences will be made without consent. We do not collect or use personal information from children under the age of 18.

Our Uses of Personal Information

We use personal information to send you newsletters that you request and to provide content or marketing messages by email or via other channels. We also share your personal information with our partner companies, who may also send you marketing messages by email or otherwise. You can opt out here. Our use of your personal information may be considered “cross context behavioral advertising” in some cases.

When We Share Personal Information

We sell or share personal information with our affiliates and with partner companies to be used for marketing purposes, including cross context behavioral advertising. We also enable access to personal information for companies who perform services for us, including services related to cross context behavioral advertising, analytics, advertising fraud detection, information security, web hosting, or similar services. We contract with third parties who have access to personal information to ensure that they use appropriate data security and comply with laws. We may also share personal information where required by law (for instance if we receive a subpoena or court order), or to protect any person’s health or safety.

Personal information may be disclosed to law enforcement, regulatory bodies, courts, government entities, or other third parties where necessary to comply with applicable laws, court orders, or legal processes, to respond to governmental or regulatory inquiries, to protect individuals’ rights or safety, or to enforce our contractual rights, including payment and collection obligations. We may also disclose personal information to a successor entity or purchaser in the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, liquidation, or other transfer of assets involving our business.

Personal information may be disclosed to third parties for purposes you have approved, whether those purposes are communicated when you provide the information or outlined elsewhere in this privacy policy.

Behavioral Advertising, Data Sharing, and Analytics

Personal information collected at and through this website is shared with unaffiliated companies in order to show you advertisements on this or other sites, and for analysis and reporting related to those ads. These companies (some of whom may be considered data brokers under applicable laws) use cookies and similar technologies to collect information from your browser about web pages you view and ads that you view or click on. We (or they) may combine this personal information with personal information from other sources (including data brokers) and/or share it with third parties for marketing and advertising purposes (this is also known as “cross-context behavioral advertising” under some laws). We (and some of the third parties described in this section) collect your IP address, date and time of your visit to the website and of some of the actions you took here, your Internet Service Provider (ISP), and the browser type and version you use to visit. This information may be combined with personal information from other sources (including data brokers) as described above and used to display advertisements from us or from others through email, social media, websites, apps, direct mail, or by other channels. We also use personal information to understand user activity at this site in order to improve the user experience.

Cookies, Pixels and Similar Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, and related technologies to operate this site, to improve your user experience, to provide personalized content and advertisements, and to monitor marketing campaigns or engagement with relationship communications. Cookies are small data files that our server adds to your browser, which are used to recognize you when you visit certain websites. We use cookies for several purposes: for operation of the website, for analytics and tracking, and for advertising purposes. You can customize cookie settings in your browser settings to limit some or all cookies. You can also delete (clear) the cookies on your browser at any time. Note that if you use a “do not track” setting, this may result in an “opt-out cookie” being set on your browser to block other cookies or data collection.

In particular, we use the following tools for automated data collection:

• Browser cookies, which are small files placed on the hard drive of your computer. You can refuse cookies by adjusting your browser settings, though doing so may make it harder to access certain parts of our website.
• Flash Cookies, which are local stored objects that assess and store how you navigate on your website, and your preferences for your website experiences. Flash settings can be managed as described on Adobe’s Flash cookies page.
• Web Beacons / Tags / Pixels which are parts of our website, newsletter, and affiliated sites that use small electronic files known as clear gifs, single-pixel gifs, or web beacons to assess the popularity of our content, count visitors to a page, tell us how many people have read an email, assess the integrity of our systems and servicers, or otherwise give us statistics on our website and newsletters.

Global Privacy Control / Do Not Track Mechanisms

We support and honor the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal and other universal opt-out preference signals as valid requests to opt out of the sale and sharing of personal information. These signals are processed automatically when detected from your browser or device. We do not aim to monitor every website you access online. Cookie preferences can be managed or cleared at any time through your browser settings. When you enable a browser-based opt-out signal, such as “Do Not Track” or GPC, an opt-out cookie is placed in your browser to block certain cookies. If this opt-out cookie is deleted or your GPC settings are changed, automated data collection may recommence.
