SWING ISSUE MEDIA, LLC PRIVACY POLICY AND YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

Effective Date: 11/27/2017

Welcome! Your privacy is very important to us. The Swing Issues Media Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect and use the personal information you give us and to help you in making informed decisions when using our site and our products and services. Swing Issues Internet websites, applications and other interactive services, such as video content, are a service offering of Swing Issues Media, LLC and references in this document to “us,” “our,” and “we” refer to Swing Issues Media, LLC, a Delaware corporation located at 3200 North Ocean Blvd., Unit 2407, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33308, for use on mobile devices, tablets, personal computers and any other devices that connect to the Internet.

This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect from users, including children, when they visit our sites and use our services; how such information is used and stored; when such information may be disclosed to third parties; how users, parents, and guardians can control the use and disclosure of collected information; and how information is protected.

Our visitors’ privacy is important to us, and we recognize the need to provide additional privacy protection for children on our sites permitting such visitors. Our privacy practices are guided by the United States’ Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, as well as data privacy laws in the United States. Younger visitors should always check with their parents or guardians before entering information on any website or mobile application and we encourage families to discuss their household guidelines regarding the online sharing of personal information.

What Information Do We Collect?

When you visit our website you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis and website use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse the site.

Personal Information You Provide

Registration Information

You will provide us information about yourself, your organization or company, and your practices when you use Swing Issues’ websites, content, products and services, and register for email newsletters and alerts. Any and all information about children age 13 and under is requested only from a parent or guardian with verifiable consent always obtained from a parent or guardian of the child. Registration Information:

The information required to register varies, but may include: (a) birth date; (b) gender; (c) country; (d) state; (e) zip code; (f) user name and password; (g) wireless telephone number; (h) email address; and (i) other profile information such as avatar preferences, communications preferences, and interests.

If the site either is directed to children under 13 or has actual knowledge that a user is under 13 years old, the child may be asked to provide his or her parent’s or guardian’s email address. The parents/guardians will receive an activation email and must follow the procedures or otherwise agree to the terms within the activation email within a certain time period to activate the account; accounts not activated within that time period will be deleted.

Registration information is used to enable visitors to log into their accounts across different devices and platforms; take advantage of site offerings; respond to visitor’s requests for products, services, and information; send communications to users in connection with their account; manage games; serve appropriate material; customize the content you see when you visit the our sites.

Social Platform Registrations and Social Media Plugins

Our site permit or require users who are at least 13 years old to register or log into their account via a social networking platform such as Login with Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, or permit you to use social media plugins such as the Facebook “Like” or Google “+1” buttons. When you use these social networking platforms and plugins, your username and password for the services and other information available about you or collected from you on these services may be shared with us.

When you use social networking platforms and plugins, you share your information with them and their privacy policy applies to their collection, use, and disclosure of such information. In addition, they may be able to collect information about you, including your activity on our site, and they may notify your connections on the social networking platform about your use of our site. Such services may also employ unique identifiers which allow your activity to be monitored across multiple websites for purposes of delivering more targeted advertising to you. For more information about logging into Facebook or YouTube, please refer to their respective sites. Please note that their privacy policies may be different from our own and we encourage you to read them.

Email Information

If you correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses.

Website Use Information

Similar to other commercial websites, this site uses a standard technology called “cookies” (see explanation below, “What Are Cookies?”) and Web server logs to collect information about how this site is used. Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at this site, and the websites visited just before and just after our site. We may also use small technology or pieces of code to determine which promotions users have seen and how users responded to them.

How Do We Use the Information That You Give Us?

We use personal information for purposes of administering and expanding our business activities, providing customer service and making available other products and services to our users, customers and prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to this website, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. You may notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by clicking the unsubscribe link contained in each such email.

How we store such information.

We take reasonable precautions against the unauthorized access to or loss of your information, always with the goal of keeping our security up to date as cyber threats change. Despite such precautions, there is always a chance of unauthorized access to or loss of your information. If you think a third party has accessed your information, please contact us immediately as instructed below.

What Are cookies, web beacons, tokens?

We may use cookies, web beacons, tokens or similar technologies (collectively referred to as “Tracking Technologies”) on our site. “Cookies” (which may be html files, Flash files or other technology) are text files that help store user preferences and activity. “Web beacons” (also known as image tags, gif or web bugs) are small pieces of code used to collect advertising data, such as counting page views, promotion views or advertising responses. “Tokens” are unique persistent identifiers that are generated and sent from a server, such as Adobe’s Pass service, to a user’s device to identify an interaction session, such as the authentication for a user’s cable provider service, and which are usually stored as an HTTP cookie. Our site and/or third parties may use tracking technologies to collect computer information automatically as you browse a site and the web.

How Do We Use Information We Collect from cookies, web beacons and tokens?

Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do not generally store any personal information that you provided to us in your cookies. As you use this website, the site uses its cookies to differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent you from seeing information that’s not relevant to you or requiring you to log in more than is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our web server’s log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting this site and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback in order to constantly improve this site and better serve our customers.

We may use tracking technologies to help tailor our content, understand site and internet usage, improve or customize the content, offerings or advertisements on this site, personalize your experience on the site (for example, to recognize you by name when you return to the site), understand your interactions with email messages originating from the site, save your password, save your video player settings, enable you to use shopping carts, help us offer you products, programs or services that may be of interest to you, deliver relevant advertising, maintain and administer the site.

By visiting the site, whether as a registered user or otherwise, you acknowledge, understand and hereby agree that you are giving us your consent to set and access cookies on your device and track your activities and your use of the site through these tracking technologies and identifiers and that we may use tracking technologies in the emails we send to you.

Our site adheres to the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising. Swing Issues does not behaviorally target advertising to children under 13 on sites that are directed to children or where Swing Issues has actual knowledge that a user is under 13.

Sharing Information with Third Parties

The information we collect is used to improve the content of this site and the quality of our service, and is not shared with or sold to other organizations for commercial purposes. That being said, your information could be shared under the following circumstances:

We use third parties to facilitate our business, including, but not limited to, sending email and processing payments. In connection with these offerings and business operations, these third parties may have access to your personal information for use in connection with those business activities.

As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business offerings. Customer, email, and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions.

We may also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or any dissolution.

If it becomes necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Service, or as otherwise required by law.

Any third parties do not have access to tracking technologies set by our site, except to the extent necessary to provide services to the site. Any third party, as well as advertisers, may themselves set and access their own tracking technologies on your device if you choose to have tracking technologies enabled in your browser (or, for Flash cookies, if you have not removed them) and/or they may otherwise have access to other information about you.

We may share your information with third parties for the limited purposes described above. In the U.S., parents of children under the age of 13 have the option of consenting to the collection and use of their child’s personal information without consenting to the disclosure of that information to certain third parties.

Notice of New Services and Changes

Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to this website, new services, and special offers we think you will find valuable. As our customer, you will be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by clicking the unsubscribe link contained in each such email.

How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?

Email is not recognized as a secure medium of communication. For this reason, we request that you do not send private information to us by email. Some of the information you may enter on this site may be transmitted securely via Secure Sockets Layer SSL, 128 bit encryption services. Pages using this technology have URLs that start with HTTPS instead of HTTP.

Certain Disclosures

We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law or comply with legal process served on us or affiliated parties; (b) protect and defend our rights and property, our site, the users of our site, and/or our affiliated parties; (c) act under circumstances to protect the safety of users of our site, us, or third parties.



What About Other Websites Linked to This Site?

We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our site nor the information or content contained therein. Often links to other websites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our site.

Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including sites which have a link on our site, is subject to that website’s own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.
