Open CulÂture, LLC (“Open CulÂture,” “we” or “us”) knows that you care how inforÂmaÂtion about you is used and shared. This PriÂvaÂcy PolÂiÂcy explains how Open CulÂture colÂlects and uses inforÂmaÂtion at its webÂsite locatÂed at www.openculture.com and at othÂer webÂsites and mobile serÂvices proÂvidÂed by Open CulÂture (colÂlecÂtiveÂly the “NetÂwork WebÂsites”). This PriÂvaÂcy PolÂiÂcy also explains how you can conÂtrol the colÂlecÂtion, corÂrecÂtion and/or deleÂtion of cerÂtain types of inforÂmaÂtion that we colÂlect. We will not use or share your inforÂmaÂtion with anyÂone except as described in this PriÂvaÂcy PolÂiÂcy. This PriÂvaÂcy PolÂiÂcy does not apply to inforÂmaÂtion we colÂlect by othÂer means (includÂing offline) or from othÂer sources. FurÂther, this PriÂvaÂcy PolÂiÂcy does not apply to any webÂsites, webÂpages, blogs, appliÂcaÂtions, widÂgets or othÂer serÂvices operÂatÂed by any third parÂty, includÂing our affilÂiÂates, adverÂtisÂers, providers and partÂners.
1. InforÂmaÂtion We ColÂlect
A. PerÂsonÂalÂly IdenÂtiÂfiÂable InforÂmaÂtion
In genÂerÂal, Open CulÂture does not colÂlect perÂsonÂalÂly idenÂtiÂfiÂable inforÂmaÂtion on the Open CulÂture SerÂvices, except as set forth below. For purÂposÂes of this PriÂvaÂcy PolÂiÂcy, “perÂsonÂalÂly idenÂtiÂfiÂable inforÂmaÂtion” is data intendÂed to be used to idenÂtiÂfy, conÂtact or locate a perÂson, includÂing, name, address, teleÂphone numÂber or e‑mail address and any othÂer inforÂmaÂtion (even if non-perÂsonÂalÂly idenÂtiÂfiÂable) proÂvidÂed in comÂbiÂnaÂtion with such perÂsonÂalÂly idenÂtiÂfiÂable inforÂmaÂtion.
You may proÂvide us inforÂmaÂtion about yourÂself, such as your name or e‑mail address, when you use or post conÂtent on or though the Open CulÂture SerÂvices, includÂing regÂisÂterÂing for the use of cerÂtain feaÂtures such as email RSS feeds. If you corÂreÂspond with us by email, we may retain the conÂtent of your email mesÂsages, your email address, and our responsÂes. We may also retain any mesÂsages or othÂer conÂtent you send through or post on the Open CulÂture SerÂvices.
CitÂiÂzens of any counÂtry that has proÂmulÂgatÂed a data localÂizaÂtion law may not utiÂlize the Open CulÂture SerÂvices in any way, includÂing viewÂing pages on the Open CulÂture webÂsite or subÂscribÂing to the Open CulÂture newsletÂter.
The adverÂtiseÂments we delivÂer may offer the abilÂiÂty to interÂact, includÂing playÂing a game or viewÂing a video. The ad may also give you the opporÂtuÂniÂty to proÂvide the adverÂtisÂer with inforÂmaÂtion about yourÂself. In some instances, if you choose to interÂact with an adverÂtiseÂment or proÂvide an adverÂtisÂer with inforÂmaÂtion about yourÂself, Open CulÂture may colÂlect inforÂmaÂtion on behalf of the adverÂtisÂer. In that case, the advertiser’s priÂvaÂcy polÂiÂcy would apply to the data colÂlectÂed and we will abide by the instrucÂtions givÂen to us by the adverÂtisÂer in our hanÂdling of the data. Open CulÂture will not assoÂciate any inforÂmaÂtion (non-perÂsonÂalÂly idenÂtiÂfiÂable or perÂsonÂalÂly idenÂtiÂfiÂable) we colÂlect for an adverÂtisÂer with any othÂer inforÂmaÂtion we may have colÂlectÂed about you through the Open CulÂture SerÂvices.
B. Non-PerÂsonÂalÂly IdenÂtiÂfiÂable InforÂmaÂtion
When you visÂit the Open CulÂture SerÂvices, Open CulÂture or third parÂties such as adverÂtisÂers, third-parÂty adverÂtisÂing netÂworks, and third-parÂty adverÂtisÂing servÂing comÂpaÂnies may colÂlect non-perÂsonÂalÂly idenÂtiÂfiÂable inforÂmaÂtion. For purÂposÂes of this PriÂvaÂcy PolÂiÂcy, “non-perÂsonÂalÂly idenÂtiÂfiÂable inforÂmaÂtion” is data that is not perÂsonÂalÂly idenÂtiÂfiÂable. Open CulÂture and these third parÂties may impleÂment cerÂtain techÂnoloÂgies to enable the colÂlecÂtion of such inforÂmaÂtion. An explaÂnaÂtion of these techÂnoloÂgies is below.
CookÂies InforÂmaÂtion: When you visÂit the Open CulÂture SerÂvices, we may send one or more cookies—a small text file conÂtainÂing a string of alphanuÂmerÂic characters—to your comÂputÂer that uniqueÂly idenÂtiÂfies your browsÂer and lets Open CulÂture help you log in faster and enhance your navÂiÂgaÂtion through the site. A cookÂie may also conÂvey inforÂmaÂtion about how you browse the Open CulÂture SerÂvices. Open CulÂture uses sesÂsion, perÂsisÂtent, flash and browsÂer cookÂies. The use of cookÂies on the Open CulÂture SerÂvices is anonyÂmous and does not allow us to gathÂer perÂsonÂalÂly idenÂtiÂfiÂable inforÂmaÂtion about you. A perÂsisÂtent cookÂie remains on your hard driÂve after you close your browsÂer. PerÂsisÂtent cookÂies may be used by your browsÂer on subÂseÂquent visÂits to the site. PerÂsisÂtent cookÂies can be removed by folÂlowÂing your web browser’s direcÂtions. A sesÂsion cookÂie is temÂpoÂrary and disÂapÂpears after you close your browsÂer. You can set your web browsÂer to refuse all cookÂies or to indiÂcate when a cookÂie is being sent. HowÂevÂer, some feaÂtures of the Open CulÂture SerÂvices may not funcÂtion propÂerÂly if the abilÂiÂty to accept cookÂies is disÂabled.
Device IdenÂtiÂfiers: When you access the Open CulÂture SerÂvices by or through a mobile device, we may access, colÂlect, monÂiÂtor and/or remoteÂly store one or more “device idenÂtiÂfiers.” Device idenÂtiÂfiers are small data files or simÂiÂlar data strucÂtures stored on or assoÂciÂatÂed with your mobile device that uniqueÂly idenÂtiÂfy your mobile device and are used by Open CulÂture to enhance your use of the Open CulÂture SerÂvices. A device idenÂtiÂfiÂer may be data stored in conÂnecÂtion with the device hardÂware, data stored in conÂnecÂtion with the device’s operÂatÂing sysÂtem or othÂer softÂware, or data sent to the device by Open CulÂture. A device idenÂtiÂfiÂer may conÂvey inforÂmaÂtion to us about how you browse the Open CulÂture SerÂvices. A device idenÂtiÂfiÂer does not colÂlect or share any perÂsonÂalÂly idenÂtiÂfiÂable inforÂmaÂtion about you. HowÂevÂer, a device idenÂtiÂfiÂer may be used in conÂjuncÂtion with othÂer inforÂmaÂtion in a manÂner that may conÂstiÂtute perÂsonÂalÂly idenÂtiÂfiÂable inforÂmaÂtion. A device idenÂtiÂfiÂer may remain perÂsisÂtentÂly on your device, to help you log in faster and enhance your navÂiÂgaÂtion through the Open CulÂture SerÂvices. Some feaÂtures of the Open CulÂture SerÂvices may not funcÂtion propÂerÂly if use or availÂabilÂiÂty of device idenÂtiÂfiers are impaired or disÂabled.
Web BeaÂconÂs/Click-Stream Data: A web beaÂcon is an elecÂtronÂic file that sigÂnals when a webÂpage, adverÂtiseÂment, video, othÂer conÂtent, an email, or a newsletÂter has been viewed. We may use web beaÂcons in our emails and newsletÂters, or on our webÂsites and serÂvices. Open CulÂture may use web beaÂcons in conÂjuncÂtion with cookÂies to colÂlect click-stream data that helps us betÂter underÂstand how visÂiÂtors move from page to page withÂin our webÂsites. As with cookÂies, our use of web beaÂcons is anonyÂmous and does not allow us to gathÂer perÂsonÂalÂly idenÂtiÂfiÂable inforÂmaÂtion about you.
PasÂsive BrowsÂer InforÂmaÂtion: Open CulÂture colÂlects pasÂsive browsÂer inforÂmaÂtion though its web servers. We use the pasÂsive browsÂer inforÂmaÂtion to help us underÂstand how many visÂiÂtors come to our webÂsites and where they come from, and ultiÂmateÂly to help us make deciÂsions about how to orgaÂnize the webÂsites and delivÂer adverÂtisÂing.
Log File InforÂmaÂtion: Log file inforÂmaÂtion is autoÂmatÂiÂcalÂly reportÂed by your browsÂer each time you access a web page. When you use the Open CulÂture SerÂvices, our servers autoÂmatÂiÂcalÂly record cerÂtain log file inforÂmaÂtion. These servÂer logs may include inforÂmaÂtion such as your web request, InterÂnet ProÂtoÂcol (“IP”) address, browsÂer type, referÂring / exit pages and URLs, numÂber of clicks, domain names, landÂing pages, pages viewed, data about how you interÂact with links on the Open CulÂture SerÂvices, and othÂer such inforÂmaÂtion. We may disÂplay your IP address to the ownÂers or mainÂtainÂers of cerÂtain blogs, groups or comÂmuÂniÂties if you post to those blogs, groups or comÂmuÂniÂties and the ownÂer or mainÂtainÂer has enabled funcÂtionÂalÂiÂty for this purÂpose.
Scripts: A script is a short segÂment of comÂputÂer code includÂed in a web page or othÂer conÂtent that can be used to set and access a cookÂie on your computer’s hard driÂve and to record your activÂiÂty on a webÂsite. Open CulÂture may use scripts on the Open CulÂture SerÂvices, on third-parÂty webÂsites, or in our emails and newsletÂters.
C. Third ParÂty AdverÂtiseÂments
If an adverÂtisÂer asks Open CulÂture to show an adverÂtiseÂment to a cerÂtain audiÂence and you respond to that adverÂtiseÂment, the adverÂtisÂer or ad servÂer may conÂclude that you fit the descripÂtion of the audiÂence they are tryÂing to reach. In addiÂtion, third-parÂty adverÂtisÂers may use non-perÂsonÂalÂly idenÂtiÂfiÂable inforÂmaÂtion about your visÂits to the Open CulÂture SerÂvices in order to proÂvide adverÂtiseÂments about goods and serÂvices that they believe may be of interÂest to you. If you would like more inforÂmaÂtion about this pracÂtice and to know your choicÂes about not havÂing this inforÂmaÂtion used by these comÂpaÂnies, please see the list proÂvidÂed immeÂdiÂateÂly below. This PriÂvaÂcy PolÂiÂcy does not apply to, and we canÂnot conÂtrol the activÂiÂties of, third-parÂty adverÂtisÂers. Please conÂsult the respecÂtive priÂvaÂcy poliÂcies of such adverÂtisÂers for more inforÂmaÂtion.

3. How We Share Your InforÂmaÂtion
A. PerÂsonÂalÂly IdenÂtiÂfiÂable InforÂmaÂtion

8. Your ChoicÂes About Your InforÂmaÂtion
You may, of course, decline to subÂmit perÂsonÂalÂly idenÂtiÂfiÂable inforÂmaÂtion through the SerÂvice, in which case Open CulÂture may not be able to proÂvide cerÂtain serÂvices to you.
You can limÂit tarÂgetÂed adverÂtisÂing by conÂfigÂurÂing your browser’s setÂtings or changÂing the manÂageÂment panÂel of the Adobe Flash PlayÂer to limÂit your accepÂtance of or delete cookÂies. Because the manÂageÂment of cookÂies in varÂiÂous browsers difÂfers, you should conÂsult the docÂuÂmenÂtaÂtion for your browsÂer in order to manÂage your cookÂies. In order to limÂit the accepÂtance of or disÂable “flash” cookÂies, you must access the manÂageÂment panÂel of the Adobe Flash PlayÂer installed on your comÂputÂer. To learn more about the manÂageÂment panÂel of the Adobe Flash PlayÂer and the manÂageÂment of “flash” cookÂies, please access the folÂlowÂing link: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/index.html. You can also opt-out of receivÂing cookÂies from third-parÂty data providers by folÂlowÂing the instrucÂtions at: http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp. You can opt-out of receivÂing cookÂies from TarÂgusÂinÂfo, a speÂcifÂic third-parÂty data provider, by folÂlowÂing the instrucÂtions at: http://www.adadvisor.net/optout.html. Also, because your choicÂes are not assoÂciÂatÂed with you as a parÂticÂuÂlar indiÂvidÂual, if you change comÂputÂers, web browsers or cookÂie setÂtings, you will need to re-impleÂment your prefÂerÂences as described above. Note that if you limÂit or disÂable cookÂies, this does not mean that you will not see ads on the Open CulÂture SerÂvices. Instead, ads will be disÂplayed that are based on pasÂsive browsÂer inforÂmaÂtion or othÂer inforÂmaÂtion that that may be proÂvidÂed by the Open CulÂture SerÂvices at the time of your visÂit.
9. Children’s PriÂvaÂcy
ProÂtectÂing the priÂvaÂcy of young chilÂdren is espeÂcialÂly imporÂtant. Open CulÂture and its relatÂed webÂsites are not strucÂtured to attract chilÂdren under 13 years of age. Open CulÂture proÂhibits the use of our webÂsites or serÂvices by anyÂone under 13 years of age.

If you are under 13, please do not access the Open CulÂture SerÂvices or send any inforÂmaÂtion about yourÂself to us, includÂing your name, address, teleÂphone numÂber, or email address. In the event that we learn that we have colÂlectÂed perÂsonÂal inforÂmaÂtion from a child under age 13 withÂout verÂiÂfiÂcaÂtion of parental conÂsent, we will delete that inforÂmaÂtion as quickÂly as posÂsiÂble. If you believe that we might have any inforÂmaÂtion from or about a child under 13, please conÂtact us at ma**@op*********.com.
10. Links to OthÂer WebÂsites
We are not responÂsiÂble for the pracÂtices employed by webÂsites linked to or from the Open CulÂture SerÂvices, nor the inforÂmaÂtion or conÂtent conÂtained thereÂin. Please rememÂber that when you use a link to go from withÂin the Open CulÂture SerÂvices to an outÂside webÂsite, our PriÂvaÂcy PolÂiÂcy is no longer in effect.

Please read over those rules and poliÂcies before proÂceedÂing.
11. NotiÂfiÂcaÂtion ProÂceÂdures
It is our polÂiÂcy to proÂvide notiÂfiÂcaÂtions, whether such notiÂfiÂcaÂtions are required by law or are for marÂketÂing or othÂer busiÂness relatÂed purÂposÂes, to you via email notice, writÂten or hard copy notice, or through conÂspicÂuÂous postÂing of such notice on the applicÂaÂble Open CulÂture webÂsite or serÂvice, as deterÂmined by Open CulÂture in its sole disÂcreÂtion.
