WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We use persistent cookies to assist us with the collection and use of anonymous browsing data. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on a site. If you reject cookies, you may still navigate Web sites, but your ability to use some areas of the sites may be limited.

CLEAR GIFS (WEB BEACONS/WEB BUGS)

We employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us better manage the advertising content on our network of third-party sites. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to personally identifiable information. In performing our advertising services, we collect non-personally identifiable consumer information in multiple ways, including:

on our own web sites
on the web sites of publishers that call our pixels (or “beacons”)
when we serve online advertisements, and
from third party providers

This anonymous data includes, but is not limited to, information such as a web visitor’s IP address, web pages which have been viewed by a web visitor, date and time, domain type, and responses by a web visitor to an advertisement delivered by us or a third party advertising technology vendor. As the Internet evolves, we may use different types of technologies to collect these types of anonymous, non-personally identifiable information. The collection of this anonymous data allows us and our advertisers to better target advertising to user interests. The data also allows us provide improvements to our services, for example, improving the effectiveness of the advertisements delivered to users and limiting the number of times a person sees a given advertisement. If you do not want us to collect or store anonymous data that relates to your use of the Internet, please go back to the stone age or: Opt-Out.

PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION (PII)

It is our policy not to collect or store personally identifiable information for the purposes of targeting ads to users. Please note that at some of Confluence Local Marketing’s partner or advertiser properties, users may be asked to register and provide personally identifiable data. Although Confluence Local Marketing is committed to making sure that our partners provide notice and choice to all consumers, the collection and use of such PII is controlled by the policies found on those sites. Since Confluence Local Marketing cannot control those third party sites, we recommend that you take appropriate steps to control the use of PII on third party sites.

DATA RETENTION

We retain the information we collect on third-party sites for 30 days.

USE AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

Confluence Local Marketing uses non-personally identifiable information to improve advertisement targeting, make and create offers, provide reporting to advertisers and clients, and to improve our advertising systems and products. In addition, that data may be combined with information collected from other sources so that we may better serve users with offers that may be of interest to them. We may also share non-personally identifiable information with our subsidiaries and third party partners and agents for similar use. Confluence Local Marketing may also disclose any information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (1) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Confluence Local Marketing; (2) protect and defend the rights or property of Confluence Local Marketing; (3) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Confluence Local Marketing, its websites or the public; or (4) to provide updates and services that may be of interest to the customer.
