Google Analytics

We use a tool commonly known as “Google Analytics”, an industry standard analytics tool operated by Google, to collect information about use of our website. We also rely on Google Analytics for purposes of display advertising and personalized advertising, as such terms will be explained below. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit our website and what other sites they visited prior to reaching our website. We use the information we obtain from Google Analytics for the purposes of improving our website.

 

Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to your computer or other device and your browser settings on the date you visit our website, rather than your name or other identifying information. We never combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with any other kind of personally identifiable information.

 

Although Google Analytics will usually plant a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit our website, such cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. The ability of Google to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our website is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. Please note that you can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to our website by disabling cookies on the browser of your computer or device.

Cookies

We may use cookies in order to customize our website for return visitors. These cookies are not required for website functionality. In addition, third-party ad networks and our business partners, such as Facebook or YouTube, may install cookies depending on their configuration. You are not required to accept cookies in order to be able to use our website. Please note, further, that many web browsers contain a feature allowing you to manage your preferences with respect to cookies. More specifically, you can set your browser to refuse certain cookies or delete them entirely. You may be able to manage other technologies in the same way that you manage cookies using your browser’s preferences. On the other hand, please be mindful that if you choose to block cookies, doing so may prevent certain features on our website from functioning.

We and Our Partners (as such term is explained in the next section) use the information collected by cookies to remember who you are to log you in and your preferences, to serve content tailored to your needs or interests and to assess how our website is used. You can accept or decline cookies through your browser settings. To learn more, please look at the cookie settings available in your specific web browser(s).

Display Advertising (Also Known as Third-Party Advertising) on Our Website

We may allow third parties, including carefully selected ad networks and business partners of TheSoul Publishing (henceforth, “Our Partners”), to display advertising on our website. Because of that, our website may display advertisements from Our Partners that link to websites of Our Partners. We cannot control or be held responsible for privacy practices and content of Our Partners. We encourage you to read their privacy policies to find out how they collect and process your personal information.

 

In addition, some of Our Partners may recognize your computer or device through cookies or other technologies each time they send you an online ad. This enables them to understand where you, or others who are using your computer or other device, saw their advertisement and to deliver ads that they believe may be of interest to you.

Personalized Advertising (Formerly Known as Interest-Based Advertising)

Our website permits Our Partners to collect certain information about you to provide personalized advertising to you. Our Partners are leading digital performance-based advertising groups which put great effort in making sure that your personal information is safe and used properly. They may be collecting from your computer or device certain information, such as:

  • your gender;

  • your age;

  • your location; and

  • areas of your interests.

 

In addition, they may be collecting certain information related to your PC, laptop, mobile phone or other device attributes and traffic/session information, such as:

  • the model of your computer or device;

  • the make of your computer or device;

  • your computer or device agent details;

  • the ID of your computer or device;

  • session durations; and

  • activity information.

Use of Information Toward Personal Advertising

The information collected by Our Partners is used to analyze trends, understand user activities and gather demographic information to enable, manage and develop their personalized ads and related services. Our Partners may share such information with their affiliates. To do this, Our Partners use technologies such as cookies and web beacons to collect information about your interaction with our website and third-party websites. This type of information does not identify you personally and, typically, is aggregated with other data to create segments – groups of users and general interest categories that are inferred based on a range of factors (for example, “sports fan”). Our Partners use this information to form a more accurate picture of the interests of the audiences with which they interact – including you – so that their ads are more relevant to those interests.

 

In addition, Our Partners may use the information collected from these types of cookie or similar technologies for a variety of other purposes, including:

  • in conjunction with advertising that appears on other third-party websites;

  • to measure the effectiveness of web-based and email advertisements; and

  • for reporting website traffic, statistics, advertisement data and other interaction with ads and the websites on which they are served.

 

Our Partners retain your information in accordance with their legitimate business purposes for processing. Thereafter, the information is removed, archived for restricted legitimate interests, or anonymized. Non-identifying information may be kept without time and use limitations. We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features that Our Partners may use, and the information practices of Our Partners and third-party websites are not covered by this Policy. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy practices.

Why Would You Want to Receive Personalized Ads?

Consumers like to receive personalized ads for many different reasons. Personalized ads are helpful because they are more tailored to your particular interests. Personalized ads are more likely to help you discover new products and services that are actually relevant to you and your interests. In short, receiving personalized ads can help improve your access to new products, services and features that are most relevant to you. Moreover, you will not see the same ads over and over, because the number of times you see a particular personalized ad is limited. By opting-out of personalized ads, you lose all of these benefits.

Opting-Out of Receiving Personalized Ads

If you do not want our website to show you personalized ads please be advised to do any of the following:

 

Please note that if you choose to opt-out, your opt-out will be managed through the use of cookies. If you delete these cookies or use a different browser or computer, you will have to make this same selection again.

Plugins

Our website may have “plugins” (such as the Facebook “Like” button) to third party sites or offer login (such as log in with Facebook) through a third-party account. Third party plugins and login features, including their loading, operation and use, are governed by the privacy policy and terms of use of the third party providing them.

Other Situations

We may disclose your IP address and other information about you:

  • as part of the sale of one of our websites to another company;

  • to protect and defend the rights and property of TheSoul Publishing Group (including with respect to enforcing our Terms and Conditions); and

  • when required by law, a governmental authority or by a court order.

Security

We seek to use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect your IP address and other personal information within our organization and we regularly monitor our system for vulnerabilities. However, since the Internet is not a 100% secure environment, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of information about you.

For these reasons, we request that you refrain from sending to us any personal data about you or any other individuals through world wide web, unless strictly necessary.
