SAMedia Network Privacy Policy

SAMedia Network adopted this privacy policy to explain what information may be collected when you use our services, how SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) uses this information, and under what circumstances SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) may disclose the information to third parties. In this privacy policy, “affiliates” refers to our subsidiaries and entities that SAMedia Network or its subsidiaries operate or have an ownership interest in.

Please read this privacy statement carefully so that you understand our online privacy practices. This privacy policy describes the treatment of information provided or collected through the services where this privacy policy is posted. By using our service, you agree that your use, and any dispute over our online privacy practices, is governed by this privacy statement and our website terms and conditions. This privacy statement does not apply to any information you may provide to us through other means, for example, at a live event, via mail, or via telephone. If you have any questions regarding web privacy, please contact us.

I. SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) typically collects two kinds of information about you through the services: (a) information that you provide that personally identifies you; and (b) information that does not personally identify you, which SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) automatically collects when you visit our services or that you provide us. In some cases, our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) may collect the information on our behalf. SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) may disclose the information obtained with third-party service providers that perform marketing, promotional and other services for us. These third-party service providers that provide all or some of the services available through this service may also gather the same kinds of information.

Provide your name, postal/shipping address, email address, credit card number and phone number when registering for a particular service, or in connection with a contest entry.
Provide certain demographic information about yourself when participating in a survey, poll or joining a club.

Certain stand-alone information may not be personally identifiable but may become so when combined with other information. Whether or not you provide this information is your choice; however, in some instances, this type of information is required to gain access to certain activities, benefits, or content SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) may offer. SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) may collect information that you have authorized any such service to share with us, such a social networking service with your user ID and username and information that you make public using that social networking service.

In certain instances SAMedia Network may share your personally identifiable information with our affiliates, service providers, our licensors and co-sponsor(s) or our third-party vendors performing functions on SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) behalf – e.g., vendors that assist us with customer service, administer and/or assist with our promotions, provide us marketing, analyze our data, process credit card orders and deliver our merchandise. SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) or our third-party vendors agree to use this information, and we agree to share this information with them to conduct our requests. In addition, SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) may share your personally identifiable information with participating sponsors to a program or promotion you enter through the service, and with third parties who assist us in using the content or other information you have posted or shared with us through the service. We may also offer you the opportunity to subscribe to SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors, and co-sponsor(s) email newsletters available through the service. If you have opted to receive a particular newsletter, you may unsubscribe later if you decide not to receive further mailings of the newsletter. If you do not want SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors, and co-sponsor(s) to collect the information requested in the registration form or to provide it to any of our affiliates, service providers, licensors, and co-sponsor(s), please do not enter the contest, sweepstakes, promotion or service provided.

How SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) collect, and store information depends on the websites you visit, the activities you participate in and the services you use. You can use some of the services without providing any information other than that automatically collected; however, to make use of certain features available through this service: such as to receive email newsletters, post a classified ads, or to participate in social networking features, the more you tell SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) about yourself, the more value SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) can offer you. Supplying such information is entirely voluntary, but if you do not supply the requested information, SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) may be unable to provide certain services made available. SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) may also combine information collected from you with information obtained about you from third parties and affiliates and information derived from any other subscription, product, or service SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) provide. In addition, our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) may provide SAMedia Network with additional personal information about you that you provide to them through your separate accounts with them as described in their own privacy statements. Should you choose to voluntarily disclose information through the service, such as SNSs, message boards, chat areas or in advertising or notices you post, that information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by third parties without SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third-parties. Personal information included in a video, recording, photograph, etc. is available to the general public and you should not submit videos, recordings or photographs if you desire to keep any of the content private; and SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) are not responsible for the use or misuse of such content by any third-party.

II. To help make our service more responsive to the needs and interests of our visitors, SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) keep track of the pages visited by our users or other sites visited by our users by placing a small entry in a text file, otherwise known as cookies on your hard drive.

SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s) may use these and other tools to recognize which links visitors click and track how users respond to ads placed on third-party sites or applications. In combination with cookies, these web beacons allow SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors, and co-sponsor(s) to track the number of users who subscribe to our email newsletters, view pages, and to fine tune the advertising messages delivered to users of these service and other websites and applications.

SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co- sponsor(s) use this information to deliver our web pages upon request, to tailor our service to the interests of our users and to measure traffic within our service. Your IP address alone does not tell us who you are.

Also, when you use a mobile device or browser to access our service, your device and/or your browser may automatically collect and/or transmit your device’s unique identifier, IP address, location information, device make/model, wireless provider, and related information to SAMedia Network and our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s), and your location information may be passed along to our affiliates, service providers, licensors and co-sponsor(s).
