Depending on where you live and subject to applicable legal exceptions, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a portable copy of personal information that we hold about you. You may also have the right to opt out of certain uses of personal information for targeted advertising, sale, or sharing.
To submit a privacy request, please use our contact page and include “Privacy Request” in your message. Please describe your request with enough detail for us to understand and respond to it. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.
You may use an authorized agent to submit a request where permitted by applicable law. We may ask the authorized agent to provide proof of authorization and may ask you to verify your identity directly.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights available under applicable law.

We may disclose the categories of personal information described above to service providers, advertising and analytics partners, professional advisers, authorities, and business transferees as described in the “How We Share Information” section above.

We will verify applicable requests before responding. We may deny or limit a request where permitted by law, including where we cannot verify the request, where an exception applies, or where responding would adversely affect another person’s rights.
Information for Visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland
If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom (“UK”), or Switzerland, we process your personal data only where we have a valid legal basis under applicable data-protection law.
Depending on the circumstances, our legal bases may include:
- Consent: for non-essential cookies, advertising cookies, personalized advertising, and similar technologies where consent is required;
- Legitimate interests: to operate, secure, maintain, improve, and understand the use of the Site; prevent fraud and abuse; respond to inquiries; and protect our rights, provided that these interests are not overridden by your data-protection rights;
- Legal obligations: where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law, legal process, or regulatory requirements; and
- Contractual necessity: where processing is necessary to provide a service or respond to a request you make.
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw or change your consent at any time through the privacy-settings or consent-management tool made available on the Site. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before you withdrew it.
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may also have the right to object to certain processing, including processing based on legitimate interests and processing for direct marketing, and to request a portable copy of certain personal data.
To exercise these rights, please submit a request through our contact page and include “EU/UK Privacy Request” in your message. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data-protection authority in your country of residence, place of work, or the place of an alleged infringement.
We and our service providers, analytics providers, advertising partners, and other recipients may process personal data outside the EEA, UK, or Switzerland. Where required, we take steps intended to provide an appropriate level of protection for such transfers, which may include using contractual safeguards approved by the relevant authorities or relying on another lawful transfer mechanism.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to operate and secure the Site, respond to requests, send email communications that you have requested, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain appropriate business records.
Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, the nature of our relationship with you, legal requirements, and operational needs. For example, contact messages may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to and document the request, subscription information may be retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion, and cookie and analytics information may be retained according to the applicable provider’s settings and policies.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

The Site may be accessed from countries around the world. Information collected through the Site may be processed, stored, or accessed in countries other than the country where you live, including countries where our service providers, email marketing providers, advertising partners, analytics providers, or other recipients operate. Those countries may have data-protection laws that differ from the laws of your country.

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)
The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.
First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The "help" feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.
Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.
The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:
- IP Address
- Operating System type
- Operating System version
- Device Type
- Language of the website
- Web browser type
- Email (in hashed form)
Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.
