I. The Information We Collect

 

We receive both information that is directly provided to us, such as personal information you provide when you visit or subscribe to the Services, and information that is passively or automatically collected from you, such as anonymous information collected from your browser or device. In this Privacy Policy, we refer to all of this as the “Information”.


1. Information You Provide To Us.

At some Services, you can register, order products, enter contests, vote in polls or otherwise express an opinion, subscribe to one of our Services such as a paid membership, sign up for our online newsletters or text message alerts, or participate in one of our online forums or communities. In the course of these various offerings, we often seek to collect from you various forms of Information, such as: name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number and credit card information. At some Services, you may also be able to submit Information about other people. For example, you might submit a person's name and e-mail address to send an electronic greeting card and, if you order a gift online and want it sent directly to the recipient, you might submit the recipient's name and address. This Information that you can submit about another person may include, for instance, a recipient's name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number.


2. Information That is Passively or Automatically Collected.

We, and our “Partners” who include Turner Affiliates, third party service providers, advertisers, advertising networks and platforms, agencies, and distribution or other partners may use automated means to collect various types of Information about you, your computer or other device used to access our Services. A representative, non-exhaustive list of the types of automatically collected information may include: network or Internet protocol address and type of browser you are using (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer), the type of operating system you are using, (e.g., Microsoft Windows or Mac OS), the name of your Internet service provider (e.g., Comcast, Verizon or AT&T) and domains used by such providers, mobile network, device identifiers (such as an Apple IDFA or an Android Advertising ID), device settings, browser settings, the web pages of the Services you have visited, Services visited before and after you visit a Service, the type of handheld or mobile device used to view the Service (e.g., iOS, Android), location information, and the content and advertisements you have accessed, seen, forwarded and/or clicked on. Please see our Section titled Cookies, and Other User and Ad-Targeting Technologies for more information about how the foregoing Information may be collected and used.


3. Geo-location Information

If you are accessing a Service from a mobile device or through a mobile application, you may be asked to share your precise (GPS level) geo-location information with us so we can customize your experience on our Services or on other Services, and/or with a Partner when we work with a Partner such as a third party mobile ad platform. If you agree to such collection, in most cases, you will be able to turn off such data collection at any time by accessing the privacy settings of your mobile device and/or through the settings in the applicable mobile application.


4. Information Collected By and From Social Media Services and Other Third Party Platforms

You may also be given the option to engage with our content or Services, such as video, games, applications, and other offerings, on or through social media services or other third party platforms, such as Facebook, or other third-party social media plug-ins, integrations and applications. When you engage with our content or Services on or through social media services or other third party platforms, plug-ins, integrations or applications, you may allow us to have access to certain Information in your profile. This may include your name, e-mail address, photo, gender, birthday, location, an ID associated with the applicable third party platform or social media account user files, photos and videos, your list of friends or connections, people you follow and/or who follow you, or your posts or “likes.” For a description of how social media services and other third party platforms, plug-ins, integrations or applications handle your information, please refer to their respective privacy policies and terms of use, which may permit you to modify your privacy settings. When we interact with you through our content on third party websites, applications, integrations or platforms, we may obtain any information regarding your interaction with that content, such as content you have viewed, your game performance, high scores, and information about advertisements within the content you have been shown or may have clicked on.

 

II. How We Use the Information

 

We, along with our Partners, may use the Information to:

 

provide and communicate with you about the Services or your account with us, fulfill your requests regarding the Services, including without limitation requests for newsletters and notifications, respond to your inquiries, and notify you if you have won a contest, communicate with you about other products, programs or services that we believe may be of interest to you, enforce the legal terms (including without limitation our policies and terms of service) that govern your use of our Services, and/or for the purposes for which you provided the Information, provide technical support for the Services, prevent fraud or potentially illegal activities (including, without limitation, copyright infringement) on or through the Services, protect the safety of our Users, customize or personalize ads, offers and content made available to you based on your visits to and/or usage of the Services or other online or mobile websites, applications, platforms or services, and analyze the performance of those ads, offers and content, as well as your interaction with them, perform analysis regarding how you use the Services or any part thereof, send gifts, cards, invitations or emails if you use these services, to your designated recipients, for any other purposes disclosed to you at the time we collect your information or pursuant to your consent.

 

When you provide information from your social media account, it can help enable us to do things like (1) give you exclusive content, (2) personalize your online experience with us within and outside our Services, (3) contact you through the social media service or directly by sending you the latest news, special offerings, and rewards, and (4) enable you to share your experience and content via social media services. When you provide information about yourself to us through an application, through our Services, or on social media services or other third party platforms, it may be publicly viewed by other members of these services and we cannot prevent further use of the information by third parties. We or a Partner may use “cookies” or similar technologies to associate certain of the Information with a unique identifier that then associates the Information with your device or browser. For information about how these technologies work and how we may use them, please go to Section IV, titled Cookies, And Other User And Ad-Targeting Technologies. Sometimes, we may associate cookies with the Information, including de-identified, “hashed,” or anonymous versions of Information you have provided (such as during registration), in order to send or help our Partners send ads and offers based on your presumed interests or demographic information. We may combine any of the Information we collect, for any of the above purposes, and may sometimes enhance the Information with other information that we obtain from third party sources. Please also be aware that if you choose to submit Information or content for publication (e.g., a letter to our editors, comments sent to our television personalities, a posting to a blog or a discussion board, or a video), we may publish that Information and content, along with other Information about you (such as your name, screen name or location). See our Terms of Use for details on our use of content you submit.


III. Information Sharing and Disclosure

 

We may disclose the Information as follows:

To service providers or Partners that we have engaged to perform business-related functions on our behalf. This may include service providers that: (a) conduct research and analytics; (b) create content; (c) provide customer, technical or operational support; (d) conduct or support marketing (such as email or advertising platforms); (e) fulfill orders and user requests; (f) handle payments; (g) host our Services, forums and online communities; (h) administer contests; (i) maintain databases; (j) send or support online or mobile advertising; and (k) otherwise support our Services. In response to legal process, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena, a law enforcement or government agency's request or similar request. With third parties in order to investigate, prevent, or take action (in our sole discretion) regarding potentially illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to any person, us, or the Services, or violations of our policies, the law or our Terms of Use, to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing our Services. We may transfer some or all of your Information if we, or one of our business units, undergoes a business transition, like a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or part of our assets, in the unlikely event of bankruptcy, or if a substantial portion of our or of a business unit’s assets is sold or merged in this way. We may share the Information with WarnerMedia companies and Turner Affiliates, so they can provide, improve and communicate with you about their own, or their marketing partners’ products and services. A list of Affiliates is available here. We may share the Information with unaffiliated Partners and third parties (e.g., advertisers, advertising networks and platforms, agencies, other marketers, magazine publishers, retailers, participatory databases, and non-profit organizations) that wish to market products or services to you. If you wish to opt out from such marketing, please visit the How to Contact Us/Opting Out of Marketing Communications Section below for further instructions. We may share the Information for any other purposes disclosed to you at the time we collect the Information or pursuant to your consent.

 

Please note that the Services covered by this Privacy Policy may offer content (e.g., contests, sweepstakes, promotions, games, applications, or social network integrations) that is sponsored by or co-branded with identified third parties. By virtue of these relationships, the third parties may obtain information from their visitors. We have no control over these third parties' use of this information, which is subject to their own privacy policies.

 

IV. Cookies and Other Online Tracking Technologies.

 

We use cookies and other technologies both to provide our Services to you and to advertise to you. We also may work with Partners to help them advertise to you when you visit other websites or mobile applications, and to help them perform user analytics. These technologies may also be used by our Partners to collect and analyze information about our Users’ activities on our Services and elsewhere on the Internet (including how our Users interact with advertising), and more generally, to learn more about our Users and what services or offers you might prefer to receive. We describe some of these technologies below.

 

1. Cookies.

To enhance your online experience, we and our Partners use "cookies", "web beacons" or other tracking technologies. Cookies are text files placed in your computer's browser to store your preferences. We use cookies or other tracking technologies to understand Service and Internet usage and to improve or customize the products, content, offerings, services or advertisements on our Services. For example, we may use cookies to personalize your experience at our Services (e.g., to recognize you by name when you return to a Service), save your password in password-protected areas, and enable you to use shopping carts on our Services. We also may use cookies or other tracking technologies to help us offer you products, content, offerings or services that may be of interest to you and to deliver relevant advertising when you visit this Service, a Turner Affiliate’s Service, or when you visit other websites or applications. We or a third party platform with whom we work may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser to enable you to receive customized content, offers, services or advertisements on our Services or other sites. The cookies may be associated with de-identified demographic or other data linked to or derived from data you voluntarily have submitted to us (e.g., your email address) that we may share with a service provider solely in hashed, non-human readable form.

 

We, our third party service providers, advertisers, advertising networks and platforms, agencies, or our Partners also may use cookies or other tracking technologies to manage and measure the performance of advertisements displayed on or delivered by or through the Turner Network and/or other networks or Services. This also helps us, our service providers and Partners provide more relevant advertising.

2. Syncing Cookies and Identifiers.

We may work with our Partners (for instance, third party ad platforms) to synchronize unique, anonymous identifiers (such as those associated with cookies) in order to match our Partners’ uniquely coded user identifiers to our own. We may do this, for instance, to enhance data points about a particular unique browser or device, and thus enable us or others to send ads that are more relevant, match Users to their likely product interests, or better synchronize, cap, or optimize advertising.

3. Locally Stored Objects.

Services on the Turner Network may employ locally stored objects (“LSOs”) and other client side storage tracking technologies in certain situations where they help to provide a better user experience, such as to remember settings, preferences and usage similar to browser cookies, or in order to target or help our Partners target ads, analyze ad performance, or perform user, website or market analytics. For LSOs utilized by Adobe Flash you can access Flash management tools from Adobe’s website. In addition, some, but not all browsers provide the ability to remove LSOs, sometimes within cookie and privacy settings.

 

4. Disabling Cookies

Most web browsers are set up to accept cookies. You may be able to set your browser to warn you before accepting certain cookies or to refuse certain cookies. However, if you disable the use of cookies in your web browser, some features of the Services may be difficult to use or inoperable.

 

We may work with certain third-party companies that use techniques other than cookies to recognize your computer or device, link your devices, and/or to collect and record information about your web surfing activity, including those integrated with our Services. Please keep in mind that your web browser may not permit you to block the use of these techniques, and those browser settings that block conventional cookies may have no effect on such techniques. To learn more about Interest-Based Advertising or to opt-out of this type of advertising by those third parties that are members of DAA’s opt-out program, please go to About Ads.

5. Web Beacons.

We and our Partners may also use "web beacons" or clear GIFs, or similar technologies, which are small pieces of code placed on a Service or in an email, to monitor the behavior and collect data about the visitors viewing a Service or email. For example, web beacons may be used to count the users who visit a web page or to deliver a cookie to the browser of a visitor viewing that Service. Web beacons may also be used to provide information on the effectiveness of our email campaigns (e.g., open rates, clicks, forwards, etc.).

 

6. Mobile Device Identifiers and SDKs.

We also sometimes use, or partner with publishers, publisher-facing, or app developer platforms that use mobile Software Development Kits (“SDKs”), or use an SDK with a mobile app that we offer, to collect Information, such as mobile identifiers (e.g., Apple IDFAs and Android Advertising IDs), and Information connected to how mobile devices interact with our Services and those using our Services. The SDK is a bit of computer code that app developers can include in their apps to enable ads to be shown, data to be collected, and related services or analytics to be performed. We may use this technology to deliver or help our Partners deliver certain advertising through mobile applications and browsers based on information associated with your mobile device. If you’d like to opt-out from having ads tailored to you in this way on your mobile device, please follow the instructions in the “Your Ad Choices” Section below.

 

By visiting the Service, whether as a registered user or otherwise, you acknowledge, and agree that you are giving us your consent to track your activities and your use of the Service through the technologies described above, as well as similar technologies developed in the future, and that we may use such tracking technologies in the emails we send to you.

 

Our unaffiliated Partners and third parties may themselves set and access their own tracking technologies when you visit our Services and they may have access to information about you and your online activities over time and across different websites or applications when you use the Service.

 

V. Your Ad Choices

 

Advertising enables us to provide the rich content for which Services on the Turner Network are known, and to provide much of this content free of cost to our Users. Thus, we may strive to provide you with ads that are relevant to you and for products you may want. We also offer you choices with regard to interest-based ads. To learn more about interest-based ads and the choices available to you, please visit our Ad Choices website, which has general information about certain companies that place these ads. You may also find more information about entities involved in online advertising and additional choices you may make for companies that participate in the Network Advertising Initiative [https://networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/what-are-my-options] (“NAI”) at the NAI choice page, and for companies that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance [http://optout.aboutads.info/choices?c=2&lang=EN] (the “DAA”) at the DAA consumer choice page . To learn more about interest-based ads in mobile apps and to opt out of this type of advertising by third parties that participate in the DAA’s AppChoices tool, you may download the version of AppChoices for your device here Turner is a participant in the online industry’s self-regulatory program administered by the DAA and has agreed to adhere to the DAA’s principles applicable to interest-based ads. The tools provided on the Ad Choices website, as well as the DAA opt-out page, the NAI opt-out page, and the AppChoices tool are provided by third parties, not Turner. Turner does not control or operate these tools or the choices that advertisers and others provide through these tools.

 

When using a mobile application you may receive tailored in-application advertisements. Depending on your device, you may be able to reset your mobile device’s advertising identifier at any time by accessing the privacy settings on your mobile device. In addition, each operating system, iOS for Apple phones, Android for Android devices and Windows for Microsoft devices, provides its own instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-application advertisements. You may review the support materials and/or the privacy settings for the respective operating systems in order to opt-out of tailored in-application advertisements. For any other devices and/or operating systems, please visit the privacy settings for the applicable device or contact (or review the applicable privacy web page of) the applicable platform operator.

 

VI. Other Important Information About Your Privacy

 

1. How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals

At this time Services on the Turner Network do not recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking mechanisms, which may include “do not track” instructions.

 

2. Linked Services

Some of the Services may contain links to or integrations with other services such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other media services and platforms whose information practices may be different than ours. Visitors should consult these other services' privacy notices as we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties.

3. International Transfer

This Service is governed by and operated in accordance with US law. If you are located outside of the US, you use this Service at your own risk. Turner is a company that operates globally so it is necessary to transfer your Information internationally. In particular, your Information will be transferred to and processed in the United States where many of our central databases operate. By using this Service, you (a) acknowledge that the data protection and other laws of other countries, such as the United States, may provide a less comprehensive or protective standard of protection than those in your country, and consent to your Information being collected, processed and transferred as set forth in this Privacy Policy and US law.

4. Data Security

We have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures designed to help prevent unauthorized access, to maintain data security, and to use correctly the Information we collect online. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the Information that we collect and store.

 

Although we take reasonable and appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of Information, we cannot assure you that Information will never be disclosed, altered or destroyed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

5. Additional Information Regarding Children’s Privacy

Due to the paid membership feature on Boomerang, you must be 18 years of age or older to create a “Registered Account” (as defined in the Terms of Use available at www.boomerang.com/privacyterms) or become a Boomerang subscriber (“Subscriber”). The Service may allow a Subscriber with a Registered Account to establish a child as an authorized User for whom he/she is a parent or legal guardian. In this case, we require the Boomerang Subscriber to provide any information requested and to agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and any data collection on behalf of any authorized child User. If the Subscriber provides parental consent where required by law, we may use and disclose any personal information collected from the minor child consistent with the rest of this Privacy Policy.

Should we collect and store a child’s personal information, a parent or legal guardian will have the ability to review or request deletion of any of their child’s personal information or refuse to permit its further collection or use. If you are a parent or legal guardian who would like to exercise these rights or has discovered that your child has registered for or accessed Boomerang without your consent, you can ask us to remove any unauthorized information provided by your child by contacting us at WMPrivacy@warnermediagroup.com or our customer service at support@boomerang.com. Upon valid notice from you, Boomerang will make reasonable efforts to investigate and remove the information. You may be asked to provide customer service with the account email address or username and account password submitted by your child. Please review the Terms of Use for information regarding how to cancel a subscription.

6. How You Can Access or Correct Information

Access to certain personal Information that is collected from our Services and that we maintain may be available to you.
