All Day Media Privacy Policy
The following privacy policy applies to the U.S. operations of All Day Media
(ÒAll Day Media,Ó Òwe,Ó ÒourÓ).
Overall privacy statement
At All Day Media, we take your privacy seriously. Because in certain
circumstances we gather certain types of information about our users, we want
to help you understand the terms and conditions surrounding the collection and
use of that information. This privacy statement discloses the types of
information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it. These
privacy practices apply to the website that you were viewing when you clicked
through to this policy, which is operated directly by us, by our partner, or by
our affiliate.
1. What information does All Day Media collect?
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with the
best and most useful content and services. Several of the services and features
that we offer on our websites require you to provide us with information as a
condition of usage. These include access to subscription-only areas, the
ability to post opinions or other content, participation in sweepstakes or
contests, and participation in message boards.
We collect personally identifiable information, such as your name, email
address, postal address, phone number and credit card information when you
provide it to us. From time to time, when you provide it to us, we may also
collect other sensitive information such as your job title, gender, username
and password. We may also receive information about you from other sources and
add it to the information you provided to us.
Once you register with an All Day Media website you are no longer anonymous
to us.
2. What is All Day MediaÕs practice regarding cookies?
Your Internet browser has a feature called cookies, which stores small amounts
of data on your computer about your visit to any of our websites. You do not
need to have cookies turned on to visit most of our websites, although active
participation in certain areas of our websites may require cookies. Cookies
alone tell us nothing about who you are unless you specifically give us
personally identifiable information, in which case we use the information to
enhance your services in the ways described below. By adjusting your settings
on your browser, you may elect not to allow cookies to be collected.
We also use technologies, including electronic images known as Web bugs—sometimes
called transparent GIFs, clear GIFs, or beacons—that
allow us to track general user-traffic patterns. We also automatically receive
and record information from our servers and from your browser, including your
IP address, the time of your visit to pages on our site, and information about
pages you visited. Unless you have registered for one of our products or
services, the information we gather through the use of tracking technologies
cannot be matched with any personally identifiable information about you.
We use cookies and tracking technologies in a variety of ways, including (i)
keeping count of return visits to our website or our advertisersÕ or partnersÕ websites;
(ii) accumulating and reporting anonymous, aggregate (data collected in mass),
statistical information on website and advertisement usage; (iii) determining
which features our overall user population likes best; (iv) saving your
password so you donÕt have to re-enter it each time you visit our websites; and
(v) displaying the most appropriate advertising and/or content based on your
interests.
We allow other companies that are presenting advertisements on our websites and,
sometimes, in our newsletters to use tracking technology on your computer. We
do not give any personally identifiable information to them as part of this
relationship. Unless you visit the website of these companies and provide them
with personally identifiable information about yourself, these tracking
technologies tell those advertisers nothing about who you are. Our advertisersÕ
use of tracking technology is subject to their own privacy policies.
3. How does All Day Media use the information?
We use the information we gather for four general purposes, including (i) to
customize the advertising and the content you see; (ii) to enhance the user
experience in our network of websites. We use tracking information to determine
how well each page performs overall based on aggregate user demographics and
traffic patterns to those pages. This helps us continue to build a better
service for you; (iii) to fulfill your requests for certain products and
services, and enabling you to participate in paid services, polls, contests,
and message boards; (iv) to send you information you agreed to receive about
topics we think will be of interest to you.
4. How does All Day Media share the information?
Personally identifiable information
We will make your personally identifiable information available to other
companies or people when:
(i) You
have elected to allow us to share that information at the time that you
registered with us or provided us the information, or through a subsequent
affirmative election through our website.
(ii) You use co-branded
services (i.e., websites or services that we offer to you in connection with a
partner, who is identified on the site). When you use a co-branded service
within our network of websites, you grant us permission to pass your
registration information back to that service partner. Their use of your
information is subject to their applicable privacy policies.
(iii) You volunteer
information or create a public profile in the course of your participation in
our community features such as forums, user opinions and reviews, chat rooms,
photo sharing or other forms of public communication and interaction.
(iv) You unsubscribe for a
mailing that we send to you on behalf of a third party. We may share your
removal instruction with the third party so that it may be added to that personÕs
list of people to whom they may not send emails.
(v) When required by
law, such as when we respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process.
(vi) You are the winner of a
contest or a sweepstakes that is co-sponsored with a third party and that third
party needs your information in order to manage the prize fulfillment process.
(vii)
We hire third-party vendors to provide specialized services
such as customer support; email message deployment; suppression, merge and
de-duplication services; data processing; and special products or services that
you have requested. These companies are only allowed to use the information in
order to help us fulfill our services to you. We do not provide your
information to these companies for their own, permanent use.
(viii)
We believe that your actions violate applicable laws, All Day
MediaÕs Terms of Use, or any usage guidelines for specific products or
services, or threaten the rights, property, or safety of our company, our
users, or others.
Business transfers
We are always seeking to improve our network of websites and our business. In
accomplishing these objectives, we may buy or sell a company, or one or more of
the companies in our corporate family may merge with or be acquired by another
company. If we sell a business, we may transfer some or all of your information
as a part of the sale in order that the service being provided to you may
continue or for other business purposes.
Aggregate information
We aggregate personally identifiable information and disclose such information
in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties
for marketing, promotional, and other purposes. We do not disclose to these
entities any information that could be used to identify you personally.
5. What are my options?
Users who would rather not provide any of the user data requested by our
registration process do not need to register with us. You can still view much
of the content and use many of the services offered by our websites without
registering.
We also give users the following options:
(i) Opting
not to receive our electronic newsletters or those of third parties when
registering. Users who opt in may remove themselves from mailing lists at any
time through the subscription-management pages or by following the instructions
at the end of the e-mail they received from us;
(ii) Opting not to
provide certain personal information when registering for a site, provided,
however, that you may not be able to use some of our products or services without
providing us with certain information.
6. How can I review and update my personally identifiable information?
You can review, correct, or change the information collected during
registration for any of our websites. The instructions for doing this can be
found in our member-services areas. Users may change information at any time
and as often as necessary. Users who are experiencing problems with our
services or who have questions about how our services work can contact us using
e-mail addresses at the bottom of this page.
7. Privacy of children
None of the websites within our network is directed to children under the age
of 13. We operate our network of websites in compliance with the ChildrenÕs
Online Privacy Protection Act and do not permit registration by, and will not
knowingly collect or use personally identifiable information from, anyone under
13 years of age. This requirement is clearly posted during the registration
process.
8. How will I know if the privacy policy is changed?
Any modifications to our privacy practices will be reflected first within this
area of our network of websites. If there is a material change in our privacy
practices, we will indicate on our websites that our privacy practices have
changed and provide a link to the new privacy statement. If we are going to be
using the information collected from users in a manner materially different
from that stated at the time of collection, we will send affected users written
notice of the change by e-mail.
Questions, Comments
Questions regarding this privacy statement or any other aspects of our network
of websites should be sent to our corporate offices at 5125 Paconic Bay
Boulevard, Laurel, New York 11948, Attention: General Counsel. We read every
message submitted and try to reply promptly to every one. We may also file your
comments to improve the site, or review and discard the information.
