Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help us to improve our Web Site, the Row52 Services, and your experience, see which areas and features of our Web Site and/or the Row52 Services are popular and count visits. We may also collect information using web beacons (also known as “tracking pixels”). Web beacons are electronic images that may be used in connection with our Web Site and/or e-mails, and they help deliver cookies, count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness and determine whether an e-mail has been opened and acted upon.
Our cookies help provide additional functionality to the Web Site and help us analyze Web Site usage more accurately. For instance, our Web Site may set a cookie that allows you to access the Web Site without needing to remember and then enter a password more than once during a visit to the Web Site. However, these cookies are not required for the functionality of Web Site and you are not required to accept any cookies to use the Web Site. On most web browsers, you will find a “help” section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they allow you to take advantage of some of the features of the Web Site.
The Web Site uses Google Analytics, an analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users use the Web Site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Web Site (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Web Site, compiling reports on Web Site activity for Web Site operators and providing other services relating to Web Site activity and internet usage, including tracking which pages of our Web Site you visit so we can optimize your experience with our Web Site. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

Aggregated Personal Data:
In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the Web Site, Apps, and Row52 Services, Row52 often conducts research on its customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the Personal Data and other information provided to us.

This aggregate information does not identify you personally. Row52 may also disclose aggregated user statistics and transaction data in order to describe our Row52 Services to current and prospective business partners and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.

Our Disclosure of Your Personal Data and Other Information
Row52 is not in the business of selling your information. We consider this information to be a vital part of our relationship with you. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may share your Personal Data with certain third parties without further notice to you, as set forth below:
Business Transfers:
As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event, Personal Data may be part of the transferred assets.
Related Companies:
We may also share your Personal Data with our related companies for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Agents, Consultants and Related Third Parties:
Row52, like many businesses, sometimes hires other companies to perform certain business-related functions. Examples of such functions include mailing information, maintaining databases, technical development, account verification, and fraud investigation.
Legal Requirements:
Row52 may disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect and defend the rights or property of Row52, (iii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Web Site, Apps, or Row52 Services or the public, or (iv) protect against legal liability.
Social Sharing Features
Our Web Site and Apps may offer social sharing features and other integrated tools (such as the Facebook “Like” button), which let you share actions you take on our Web Site or Apps with other media, and vice versa. The use of such features enables the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the entity that provides the social sharing feature. These social media sites may give us automatic access to certain Personal Data retained by them about you (e.g., content viewed by you, content “Liked” by you, and information about the advertisements you have been shown or may have clicked on). You control the Personal Data you allow us to have access to through the privacy settings on the applicable social media site and the permissions you give us when you grant us access to your Personal Data retained by the respective social media site about you. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing in connection with social sharing features, please visit the privacy policies of the entities that provide these features. By associating an account managed by a social media site with your account and authorizing us to have access to this information, you agree that we may collect, use, and retain the information provided by these social media sites in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Data Retention
We will keep your Personal Data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, while we have a legitimate business need to do so, or as required by law (e.g., for tax, legal, accounting, or other purposes), whichever is longer. If you have elected to receive marketing communications from us, we retain information about your marketing preferences until you opt-out of receiving these communications and in accordance with our policies.
Your Choices
Cookies:
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of certain features on our Web Site.
Promotional Communications:
You may opt out of receiving promotional e-mails from Row52 by following the instructions in those e-mails. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as those about your account or our ongoing business relations.

If you need to change or correct your Personal Data, wish to have it deleted from our systems, or wish to lodge a complaint about our processing of your Personal Data, you may contact us. We will address your request as required by applicable law. You may also be able to update your Personal Data through the Web Site or the Apps.

Exclusions
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any Personal Data collected by Row52 other than Personal Data collected through the Web Site, Apps, or Row52 Services.

We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children never to provide Personal Data through the Web Site, Apps, or Row52 Services without their permission.

The policies and procedures we described here do not apply to the Third Party Sites. If you decide to access any Third Party Sites or use services provided by any Third Party Sites, you do so at your own risk and your disclosure of your Personal Data on Third Party Sites is governed solely by the applicable Third Party Site’s policies. We suggest contacting those third parties directly for information on their privacy policies.
