Other Information

Other Information Flash Networks Collect

“Other Information” is any information that does not reveal your specific identity or does not directly relate to an individual, such as:

  • Browser information
  • Information collected through pixel tags and other technologies
  • Demographic information and other information provided by you
  • Aggregated information
  • Cookies

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files - usually consisting of letters and numbers - placed on your computer, tablet, phone, or similar device, when you use that device to visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites operate, work more efficiently, and provide analytic information. 

These are the different types of Cookies Flash Networks and our service providers may use on our Sites:

  • Essential Cookies. These Cookies are required for the operation of our Sites (for example, to enable you to log into secure areas of our website or use a shopping cart). These cookies enable you to move around the Sites and use their features. Disabling these Cookies will encumber the Sites’ performance and may make the features and services unavailable.

  • Analytics and Customization Cookies. These cookies allow us to analyze activities on our Sites and on other sites where we post content in order to improve and optimize the way our Sites work. For example, we may use these types of cookies to ensure that visitors can easily find the information they are looking for on our websites. One way we do this is to recognize and count the number of visitors and see how they move around our website when they are using it. Analytics cookies also help us measure the performance of our advertising campaigns in order to help us improve our advertising campaigns and to optimize our Sites’ content for those who engage with our advertising.

  • Functionality Cookies. These Cookies are used to recognize you when you return to our Sites. This enables us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

  • Advertising Cookies. These Cookies record your online activities, including your visits to our Sites, the pages you have visited, and the links and advertisements you have clicked. One purpose of this is to help make the content displayed on our Sites more relevant to you. Another purpose is to allow us and our service providers to deliver advertisements or other communications to you that are designed to be more relevant to your apparent interests. When we and our service providers do so, this also involves partners such as publishers, data management platforms, and demand-side platforms that help to manage the data. For example, if you look at one page on one of our Sites, we may cause an advertisement to be delivered to you, on our Sites, or on other sites, for products referenced on that page or for similar products and services. Flash Networks and our service providers and partners may also append other data to information collected by these Cookies, including information obtained from third parties, and share this information with third parties for the purpose of delivering ads to you.

How Flash Networks Collect Other Information

We and our third-party service providers may collect Other Information in a variety of ways, including:

  • Through your browser: Certain information is collected by most browsers, such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, operating system version, and Internet browser type and version. Flash Networks use this information to ensure that our Site functions properly.
  • Usage data: Flash Networks may use statistical data, analytics, trends, and usage information derived from your use of services (“usage data”) through pixel tags and other similar technologies. Usage data includes, for example, aggregated quantitative information about active users, activity, topics, and groups. Some ways we use the usage data include operating, improving, and personalizing the services and our offerings.
  • IP Address: Your “IP Address” is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). An IP Address is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user visits the Site, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited. Collecting IP Addresses is standard practice on the Internet and is done automatically by many websites. Flash Networks use IP Addresses for purposes such as calculating Site usage levels, helping diagnose server problems, and administering the Site.
  • From you: Information such as your location, as well as other information, such as your preferred means of communication or areas of interest, is collected when you voluntarily provide this information. Unless combined with Personal Information, this information does not personally identify you or any other user of the Site.
  • By aggregating information: Aggregated Personal Information does not personally identify you or any other user of the Site, (for example, we may aggregate Personal Information to calculate the percentage of our users who have a particular telephone area code).

How Flash Networks Uses and Discloses Other Information

Please note that we may use and disclose Other Information for any purpose, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law. If we are required to treat Other Information as Personal Information under applicable law, then, in addition to the uses listed in the “How Flash Networks Collect Other Information” section above, we may use and disclose Other Information for all the purposes for which we use and disclose Personal Information.

In some instances, we may combine Other Information with Personal Information (such as combining your name with your geographical location). If we combine any Other Information with Personal Information, the combined information will be treated by us as Personal Information as long as it is combined.

Third-Party Sites

This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any site to which this Site contains a link. The inclusion of a link on the Site does not imply endorsement of the linked site by us or by our affiliates.

Flash Networks does and shall continue to use, industry-standard technology to maintain the security of Personal Data, and for Flash Networks’ connections to the internet; however, Flash Networks cannot and does not guarantee the privacy, security, authenticity, or non-corruption of any information transmitted through the internet or any for information stored in any third-party system connected to the internet.

While Flash Networks takes steps to verify that any service providers, suppliers, or the like with whom Flash Networks shares Personal Data, are committed to maintaining the privacy of Personal Data at standards that are at least as stringent as Flash Networks’ Privacy Policy and have communicated to them to refrain from making any independent or unauthorized use of any Personal Data, Flash Networks does not and cannot guarantee the actions, conduct or standards of any such parties.

Flash Networks shall not be responsible for any claims, damages, costs, or losses whatsoever arising out of or in any way related to third-party connections to or use of the Internet.

Flash Networks cannot and does not ensure the protection of any Personal Data that You provide to a third-party website that may reference, be referenced, or link to Flash Networks’ Web Site. Personal Data collected by these third parties is not subject to or governed by, this Privacy Policy.

Flash Networks shall not be responsible for events beyond our direct control, and therefore will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages relating to the uses or releases of Personal Data
