Personal Data Collection & Use, Including Data Transfers Received from Third Parties
Our Website Privacy Policy located at https://mailinglists.com/about/privacy-policy/ describes the categories of EU Personal Data that we may receive or store in the US from other third parties as well as the purposes for which we use that EU Personal Data and Swiss Personal Data. Infinite Media will only access and use EU Personal Data in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which Infinite Media, or its contractual third parties, collected it, or for purposes the individual later authorizes. Citizens of the EU residing in California may have certain rights set forth in “California Residents – California Consumer Protection Act – CCPA – Compliance” section of our general privacy policy.
Before we use your EU Personal Data for a purpose that is materially different than the purposes for which we collected it, or for other purposes for which you provided it to our contractual third parties, or that you later authorized, we will provide you with the opportunity to opt out. Infinite Media maintains reasonable procedures to help ensure that EU Personal Data is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current.
Data Transfers to Third Parties
We do transfer EU Personal Data to certain third-party agents or service providers with whom we have entered written agreements and which agreements addresses data privacy and security policies and procedures that requires all contractual parties to ensure that your EU Personal Data is protected with the same level of protection the Privacy Shield requires. We also may transfer your EU Personal Data to one of our affiliated entities, when we have taken steps to ensure that your EU Personal Data is protected with the same level of protection the Privacy Shield requires.
Right to Access Personal Data
You may have the right to access the EU Personal Data that we hold about you and to request that we correct, amend, or delete it if it is inaccurate or processed in violation of the Privacy Shield. These access rights may not apply in some cases, including where providing access is unreasonably burdensome or expensive under the circumstances or where it would violate the rights of someone other than the individual requesting access. If you would like to request access to, correction, amendment, or deletion of your EU Personal Data, you can submit a written request to the contact information provided below. We may request specific information from you to confirm your identity. In some circumstances we may charge a reasonable fee for access to your information.
Your Data Choices and Opt-Out Rights
-
- Opting Out of Infinite Media’s Database. Send an email to us at [email protected] to opt out of the Infinite Media database. If you do so, please include the following information in your email: (a) first and last name, and (b) current address. We also recommend that you provide us with other addresses you have lived at in the past five years, which may help us to opt you out even if we have not yet acquired your current address information. If you decide to opt out in this way, we will stop using data in Infinite Media proprietary database to help our customers send or tailor ads and content to you, including through email, direct mail or online display marketing. (It usually takes us between 30 to 60 days to process this opt out through all of our databases.) Doing so will not opt you out of our customers’ or our partners’ databases, only data in Infinite Media’s own database – so other companies that we work with may still send ads, offers and content to you.
-
- Opting Out of Online Targeting. If you wish to opt out of other third party ad platforms and ad networks (including ones we work with and may have transferred data to in the past), we recommend visiting the opt-out pages offered by the Network Advertising Initiative and the DAA’s AboutAds program. Opting out through the above methods will cause one or more opt-out cookies to be set on your browser or device, to indicate that you have opted out. Opting out in this way won’t prevent you from seeing ads: but it will in many cases lead the companies listed to stop customizing ads based on inferences they have made about you or your interests. Note that opt-outs are browser-specific, so opting out on one browser will not affect a second browser or device that you use. For the same reason, if you buy a new device, change browsers or clear all cookies, you’ll need to perform this opt-out task again.
- Unsubscribing from Our Emails. In addition, when we send an email to you (whether on our behalf or on behalf of a client), we will provide a way for you to opt out of receiving emails from us in the future. Usually, this appears as an “unsubscribe” or “opt out” link in the footer of the email.
