Ways We Gather Your Personal Information:

This website gathers information you submit directly, including your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any information provided via an inquiry form. The information collected may be supplemented with data obtained from affiliates, data brokers, and marketing or advertising partners. Some of these third parties are organizations that have obtained your personal information from their own services. Information is also automatically collected using cookies and other tracking technologies to support analytics and advertising activities. See below for more information.

The Data We Collect:

“Personal information” (hereinafter “data,” “information,” or “personal information”) includes any type of data or information created, collected, received, stored, or transmitted in the performance of the Company’s business, regardless of format, that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a specific consumer or household.

You will be asked to submit personal information when you subscribe to Strange Daily News. This includes your name, date of birth, street address, e-mail address and phone number. We collect other information via cookies and similar technologies such as IP address, imprecise geolocation (inferred from your IP address), device ID, date/time stamp, browsing behavior and click-through activity. We may also obtain information that is relevant for advertising purposes from data brokers or publicly available databases , like demographic information, interests, past locations (e.g. visits to certain stores or websites), or purchase history. We may collect certain limited categories of sensitive personal information, including race/ethnicity or location data. We only collect data that is relevant to potential marketing campaigns. See “Your Privacy Rights” below to see how to exercise your rights with regard to our use of your personal information.
“In particular, we have collected the following categories of personal information within the last twelve (12) months:

1. Identifiers, such as real names, aliases, unique personal identifiers, online identifiers, email addresses, account names, or other similar identifiers;
2. Personal information categories listed in California Customer Records Statute (Cal. Civ. Code. § 1798.80(e)), which includes any information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is capable of being associated with a particular individual but is not publicly available to the general public from federal, state, or local government records;
3. Protected classification characteristics under California or federal law, such as race, gender, or age;

We sell and share this information with third parties and affiliated companies for marketing and advertising purposes. You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information at any time by visiting here or calling 844-975-4389.

Use of Sensitive Personal Data

We do not directly collect “Sensitive Personal Information,” which is data related to your race/ethnicity, religion, precise geolocation, LGBTQ+ status, health, financial accounts, or citizenship status. We do, however, indirectly collect, via automatic data collection technologies (e.g., cookies), data about your visits to web pages, which could indicate your interest in sensitive topics or membership in a sensitive group. For example, if you visit a page that is targeted to a specific ethnicity, or which gives information about a particular health condition, that may imply that you are interested in those topics. We do not make those inferences ourselves, but our affiliated group of companies, or other third parties to whom we disclose personal information may make these inferences. If your state or local laws prohibit the collection of Sensitive Personal Information without your consent, our affiliated group of companies will not make sensitive inferences. We do not collect or use any personal information relating to children under 18.

How We Use Data

We utilize the personal information we collect to send you newsletters or other content that you request and to send you marketing messages by email or through other marketing channels. We also share your personal information with our affiliates and partner companies who may also send you marketing messages by email or other channels. You can opt out here. Our use of personal information for marketing purposes is called “cross context behavioral advertising” under some privacy laws.

Personal Information Disclosures

We may share (or in some limited cases sell) personal information with our affiliated companies and with third parties to be used for marketing purposes, including cross context behavioral advertising. We share personal information with companies who perform services for us, including advertising, analytics, advertising fraud detection, information security, web hosting, or similar services. We contract with recipients of our data to ensure that they use appropriate data security measures and comply with applicable laws. We also share personal information as required by law (e.g., pursuant to a warrant, subpoena or court order), or to protect health or safety.

In certain circumstances, we may provide personal information to law enforcement officials, regulators, judicial authorities, or other governmental or third-party entities to meet legal requirements, respond to lawful requests, safeguard the rights or safety of individuals, or enforce our agreements, including those related to billing or collections. Additionally, personal information may be transferred as part of a business transaction, such as a sale, merger, bankruptcy, or reorganization, where such information is included among the assets conveyed.

Where you provide consent, we may disclose personal information to third parties for purposes identified at the point of collection or otherwise described in this policy.

Behavioral Advertising, Analytics, and Data Sharing

Personal information collected at and through this website is shared with unaffiliated companies in order to show you advertisements on this or other sites, and for analysis and reporting related to those ads. These companies (some of whom may be considered data brokers under applicable laws) use cookies and similar technologies to collect information from your browser about web pages you view and ads that you view or click on. We (or they) may combine this personal information with personal information from other sources (including data brokers) and/or share it with third parties for marketing and advertising purposes (this is also known as “cross-context behavioral advertising” under some laws). We (and some of the third parties described in this section) collect your IP address, date and time of your visit to the website and of some of the actions you took here, your Internet Service Provider (ISP), and the browser type and version you use to visit.

We also use personal information to understand user activity at this site in order to improve the user experience.

• Browser cookies, which are small files placed on the hard drive of your computer. You can refuse cookies by adjusting your browser settings, though doing so may make it harder to access certain parts of our website.
• Flash Cookies, which are local stored objects that assess and store how you navigate on your website, and your preferences for your website experiences. Flash settings can be managed as described on Adobe’s Flash cookies page.

Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track

We process Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signals and other universal opt-out preference signals as valid requests to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. When such a signal is detected from your browser or device, we will honor it automatically. Our intent is not to follow you across every website you visit.
