USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may use your Personal Information to provide you with the materials you’ve requested and/or purchased, and to send periodic marketing or promotional notices to you or notify you of any changes to this Policy. We may also use your Personal Information to improve our marketing efforts, statistically evaluate site usage, improve the Site or customize the Site’s content, layout and services. You can always opt-out of receiving these communications from us by following the “opt-out” procedures described below.
GENERAL
Any information you provide to us must be true, accurate, current, non-misleading, and consistent and relevant for the purpose for which you are providing the information.
If you contact us via the Site or Apps, we will only use your Personal Information contained in your email to respond to your specific inquiry or comments in the email. We may retain your email for a period of time, but will not use any of your Personal Information for any purpose other than responding to your email.
USAGE DATA
The Site and Apps may automatically track certain information about your behavior while visiting the Site. The information gathered includes:
The URL from which you accessed this Site, and which URL you visit next. We may collect and store this aggregate information in order to measure the Site’s performance and improve the Site’s design and functionality.
The videos, jokes, and comedians you view, share via social networks, and like or dislike via the corresponding buttons on the Site and Apps. We collect this data in order to better understand your comedy preferences so that we can create customized playlists, channels, and experiences.
We also aggregate video viewing information with high-level demographics such as age, gender, and locale and provide those high-level demographics to third parties, including advertisers and advertising partners. However, we do NOT share personally identifiable information such as name, address, or birthdate with any third parties.
We may also share this aggregate information with third parties to illustrate how the Site and App are used and for other marketing purposes.
SOCIAL MEDIA INTEGRATION
The Site and Apps includes the ability to link your user account to your social network accounts, at your direction. We retrieve information, such as “likes”, “subscriptions”, “friend lists”, and “posts” to improve content recommendations. We do NOT share this information with advertisers or sell the information to any third parties, but we reserve the right to share aggregated information about our audience with no personally identifiable information such as name, address, or birthdate.
