Last updated to address California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 and effective as of January 17, 2020.
This Privacy Policy only applies to the information that Lotame collects through our websites, which include www.lotame.com and any other website controlled by Lotame that posts this Privacy Policy (“Websites”). If you are a consumer and would like to understand our privacy practices in connection with the targeted advertising and other services Lotame provides to its clients, please click here.
Lotame collects usage data (“Usage Data”) via cookies, web beacons and similar technologies as further described in the Tracking Technologies section below. Usage Data includes information about our visitors and how they use our Websites, including browser type, the website you were visiting before you visited the Websites, time of day and your IP address, your mobile device advertising identifier and similar device identifiers. We use Usage Data for a variety of purposes, including to improve our Websites and services.
Lotame receives other personally identifiable information, such as names and personal contact information, through our Websites only when you choose to submit this information to us (for example, through a contact form or as part of your submission of a job application). We and our service providers will use information collected through the Websites to provide features and services, to process your job application or other request, to contact you with information, to serve you advertisements on our Websites or elsewhere online, for internal business purposes, for customer service purposes and as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. If you would like to update, delete, or revise any information you submitted to us through our websites, please send your request to privacy@lotame.com.
We, and our third-party service providers may use cookies, web beacons and other tracking technologies to gather Usage Data about visitors and how they use our Websites. We use this information to improve our Websites, to target advertisements to users, and for other business purposes.
“Cookies” and local storage are pieces of information (data files) transferred to a browser when the user visits a site. These technologies are able to store a unique identifier for a device to allow an online service provider to recognize the device whenever the device is used to visit the site. You can find more information about cookies and how they work at www.allaboutcookies.org.
Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as “pixel tags,” “1×1 GIFs,” or “clear GIFs”) may be included in our web pages and email messages. Web beacons may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a web page or email can act as a web beacon. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including, to count visitors to the Websites, to monitor how users navigate the Websites, to count how many emails that were sent were actually opened or to count how many particular links were actually viewed.
The Websites may contain integration with social networks and other platforms. For example, the Websites may contain buttons that direct users to our social networking pages (such as Facebook or Twitter) or enabling you to “like” or “share” the Websites’ content to other online services. If you choose to “like” or “share” content or to otherwise post information via the Websites to a third-party website or other online service, that information may be publicly displayed and the third-party website may have access to information about you and your use of our Websites.
In addition, the Websites may have links to third party websites. If you click on social networking buttons or third party links, you will be taken to those third parties websites, and your use of those third parties’ websites and platforms are subject to their privacy policies and practices. We are not responsible for the privacy or business practices of any third party.
We may receive information about you from third parties. For example, we may supplement the information we collect with outside records in order to provide you with information, services, or products you have requested, to tailor content, to offer you opportunities to purchase products or services that we believe may be of interest to you, and for other purposes. In addition, we may receive information if you opt-in to receive information from us when on a third party website, app or service. We may combine the information we receive from these other sources with information we collect through the Websites. In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to the combined information.
Lotame may share information, such as Usage Data, personal data that has been de-identified (typically using a hash function) or pseunodymised and aggregated user statistics, with third parties in our discretion. We do not share personal data with third parties for those third parties’ own marketing purposes unless we first provide you with the opportunity to opt-in or opt-out of such sharing. We may share the information we have collected about you with third parties as disclosed at the time you provide your information, with your consent, as described in this Privacy Policy, and under the following circumstances:
In addition, if you apply for a job through the Websites, Lotame may ask you to provide self-identifying information (such as veteran status, gender and ethnicity) in conjunction with laws and regulations enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) and other federal, state and local regulatory agencies. Providing such self-identifying information is voluntary, but if you do provide such information, Lotame or its service provider may submit that information to the appropriate government or regulatory agencies to fulfill reporting requirements and use that information to defend against employment-related complaints.
In addition to Lotame performing its own analytics and targeting content and advertisements on our Websites and elsewhere online, we may work with third-party network advertisers, ad agencies, analytics service providers, and other vendors to provide us with such information and services. These service providers may set and access their own tracking technologies on your device (including cookies and web beacons) and may otherwise collect or have access to information about you. Some of these parties may collect personal information over time when you visit the Websites or other online websites and services. We may share Usage Data or de-identified data about visitors with third-party advertising companies, analytics providers and other vendors for analytics and advertising purposes.
Lotame is a member of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising and has implemented opt-out procedures in accordance with those organizations’ programs. Some of our advertising service providers may also be members and offer an opt-out of behavioral advertising. You may want to visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp, which provides information regarding targeted advertising and the opt-out offered by NAI members. You may also want to visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/, which provides an opt-out by participating companies in the DAA Self-Regulatory Program. If you would like to opt-out of behavioral advertising controlled by Lotame you may visit the NAI and DAA links provided above, or click here. Please note that Lotame and other companies may still collect information when you are online and opting out through these mechanisms does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to be served generic ads while online.
Please note that your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to websites and online services that you visit. There is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many websites and online services, Lotame does not alter its practices when it receives a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.
