The information may be disclosed to: (i) provide joint content and our services (e.g., registration, transactions, analytics and customer support); (ii) help detect and prevent potentially illegal acts, violations of our policies, fraud and/or data security breaches; and (iii) guide decisions about our, Michaela! or a third-party’s products, sites, applications, services, tools and communications. Members of our corporate family will use this information to send you marketing communications and you will have the opportunity to opt-out in email communications. 

(b) Service Providers:

We may disclose your information to service providers under contract who help with our business operations (such as, but not limited to, data hosting services, payment processors, fraud investigations, advertising, site analytics and operations).

(c) Other Entities with Your Consent:

Other third parties to whom you explicitly ask us to send your information (or about whom you are otherwise explicitly notified and consent to when using a specific service). On the Service, you may have opportunities to express interest in or register for other services. If you do, we will provide information about you to those third-parties, or parties working on their behalf, to implement your request.

(d) Legal and Law Enforcement:

We may provide your information to law enforcement, governmental agencies, or authorized third-parties, in good faith in response to a verified request relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity or any other activity that may expose us, you, or any other Michaela Media user to legal liability. In such events, we will only disclose information relevant and necessary to the investigation or inquiry, such as name, city, state, zip code, telephone number, email address, user ID history, IP address, fraud complaints and anything else we may deem relevant to the investigation.

We may also disclose your information as part of the diligence performed as part of such a transaction. Should such a combination occur, we will make reasonable efforts to request that the new combined entity follow this Privacy Policy with respect to your personal information. If your personal information would be used contrary to this policy, we will request that the new owner provide you with prior notice in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

(f) Ad Networks:

On the Service, we may allow third parties to serve advertisements, provide us with data collection, reporting, ad response measurement, and Service analytics, and assist with delivery of relevant marketing messages and advertisements. These third parties may view, edit, or set their own tracking technologies/cookies. The use of these technologies by these third parties is subject to their own privacy policies and is not covered by this Privacy Policy. They might also obtain information about other applications that you have downloaded to your mobile device, the other websites you visit and other information about you or your device in order to analyze and serve targeted advertising on the Service and elsewhere. The effect of an opt-out may be to stop targeted advertising, but it may still allow the collection of usage data for certain purposes (e.g., research, analytics and internal online services operation purposes).

We may use third parties such as network advertisers and ad exchanges to serve advertisements across the Internet and may use third party analytics service providers to evaluate and provide us and/or third parties with information about the use of these ads on third party websites and viewing of ads and of our content. Third parties may offer you a choice as to whether or not to have your information collected for that purpose. You may see certain ads on our Service as well as on other third-party websites across the Internet because we participate in advertising networks administered by third parties. These networks track your online activities over time and across third party websites by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of the tracking technologies described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, and they use this information to show you advertisements (including our ads) that are tailored to your individual interests. The information they collect includes information about your visits to our Service, such as the pages you have viewed. These third-party tracking technologies may be set to, among other things: (a) help deliver advertisements to you that you might be interested in, (b) prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times, and (c) understand the usefulness to you of the advertisements that have been delivered to you. You acknowledge and agree that associated technology may access and use your device and may set or change settings on your device in connection with the associated operations. Note that any images (or any other parts of content) served by third parties in association with third-party ads or other content may act as web beacons, which enable third parties to carry out the previously described activities.

This collection and ad targeting takes place both on our Service and on third-party websites that participate in the ad network, such as websites that feature advertisements delivered by the ad network. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. We and third-party vendors, including Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as a Google Ads cookie) together to report how your ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to our Service. To learn more about how to opt out of Google’s use of cookies, visit the Google’s Ads Settings, here. To learn more about how to opt out of use of the Google Analytics cookies, visit the opt-out page, here.

Third-party tracking technologies are not controlled by us, even if they use our technology to help store or collect data. Statements regarding our practices do not apply to the methods for collecting information used by these third-party advertisers and others or the use of the information that such third parties collect. We do however work with third parties to make efforts to provide you with information on their practices and any available opportunity to exercise choice. The relevant third party’s terms of service, privacy policy, permissions, notices and choices should be reviewed regarding their collection, storage and disclosure practices. We make no representations regarding the policies or practices of third-party advertisers or advertising networks or exchanges or related third parties. Further, while we may use a variety of companies to serve advertisements on the website, you may wish to visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices, which provides information regarding this practice by Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) members, and your choices regarding having this information used by these companies, including the “opt-out” procedures of NAI members. Opting out of one or more NAI members only means that those NAI members no longer will be allowed under their own rules to deliver targeted content and/or ads to you, which will affect this and other sites, but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads. Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit this opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different device or change web browsers, your NAI opt-out may not, or may no longer, be effective. Additional information is available on the NAI’s website accessible by the above link. You may also be able to opt-out of receiving third-party behavioral ads by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) website at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. Similar limitations may apply to the DAA opt-out. We are not responsible for effectiveness of or compliance with any third-parties’ opt-out options.

(g) Companies in The Mobile App Industry:

If you access the Service through a mobile device, we may also disclose your information with carriers, operating systems and platforms.

(h) Information You Disclose on the Service

If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that information we collect, including personal information, will be transferred to, and processed, stored and used in the United States. The data protection laws in the United States may differ from those of the country in which you are located, and your personal information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States according to laws of the United States. By using the Service or providing us with any information, you consent to the transfer to, and processing, usage, disclosure and storage of your information, including personal information, in the United States as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

However, whenever we transfer your information outside of a country or region, such as the European Economic Area, we will make sure that we take steps necessary to comply with applicable legal requirements. Therefore, where required, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place by using appropriate contractual mechanisms, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or by relying upon the service providers participating in an approved international data transfer mechanism, including the adoption of Binding Corporate Rules. For further information about the documents we use to protect your information when it is transferred outside of your country or region, please submit a request via email at [email protected].

18. California Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice for California residents supplements the Michaela! Privacy Policy. This Notice applies to website visitors, app users, and customers who are residents of California. This Notice gives California residents additional information about our information collection and use practices required by the CCPA, and also provides California residents with specific privacy rights.

For the purposes of this California Privacy Notice, except where a different definition is noted, “personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident or household. It may apply to collection of information online or offline. Personal information does not include publicly available information, information that has been de-identified or aggregated, or other information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws.

A. Information About the Personal Information We Collect | We may have collected the following categories of personal information about you over the past twelve (12) months:

• registration information, business contact information, and contact information about others; billing information; social media account information; user ID; alias; IP address; unique device identifier; device information and identifiers; device’s operating system; app identifiers; and device operating system information
• Any personal information described in subdivision (e) of Section 1798.80, including identifiers, credit and debit card numbers as well as expiration date
• Characteristics or protected classifications under California or federal law, including age; gender and/or gender identity; race/ethnicity; marital status or other household information; national origin; religious or philosophical beliefs; veteran or military status; and disability status
• Geolocation data, general location such as city, state and ZIP code associated with your IP address, in accordance with your mobile device settings
• Audio, electronic, visual, or similar information, including summaries or voice recordings of your interactions with customer care; any photo, video, or audio information you submit through or about the Service; and on-premises video surveillance information
• Professional or employment-related information, when you register for events or for networking insights services
• Education information, including education history
• Commercial information, including records of products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies; research; information from surveys and sweepstakes; identifiers; lifestyle and household information; and hobbies
• Internet or other electronic network activity information, including, but not limited to, information about files you download, domain names, landing pages, browsing activity, content or ads viewed and clicked, dates and times of access, pages viewed, forms you complete or partially complete, search terms, uploads or downloads, the URL that referred you to our Service, the web sites you visit after this web site; and other web usage activity and data logged by our web servers, whether you open an email and your interaction with e-mail content, access times, error logs, mobile carrier, and other similar information; browser type and language; platform type; device type; software and hardware attributes; and unique device, advertising, and app identifiers
• Inferences about you, such as information about your potential preferences that we infer from your activities on the Service, and information you provide or inference information we receive from other parties, and drawn from any of the information from the above categories
• Sensitive personal information. Certain types of personal information that we collect, as described above, may constitute “sensitive personal information” under California law including:
• Account log-in information in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access
• Racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership; and
• Sexual orientation

Please note that because of the overlapping nature of certain of the categories of personal information identified above, which are required by state law, some of the personal information we collect may be reasonably classified under multiple categories.

B. California Information & Deletion Rights | Please see the “Your Privacy Rights” section of our Privacy Policy for information about the rights you have under California law and how to exercise them.

For information about the Access, Deletion, and Do Not Sell Opt-Out requests Michaela Productions Inc. has received and processed, please email [email protected].

C. Notice of Right to Opt-Out of Sale and Sharing of Personal Information | California residents may opt out of the “sale” of their personal information. Under the CCPA, “sale” is broadly defined to mean the disclosure of personal information with third parties who are not acting as our service providers or who are otherwise not restricted from using data only on our behalf or pursuant to an applicable CCPA exception.

Under the CCPA, “sale” may also include allowing third parties to “collect” certain information, such as IP address, and/or browsing behavior, through cookies and similar technologies, to deliver targeted advertising on the Services or other services. Advertising, including targeted advertising, enables us to provide you certain content for free and allows us to provide you offers relevant to you.

The CCPA also allows California residents to opt out of the “sharing” of their personal information for “cross-context behavioral advertising.” Under the CCPA, this activity is defined as the targeting of advertising to a consumer based on that consumer’s personal information obtained from the consumer’s activity across websites. We “share” information for these purposes to provide more relevant and tailored advertising to you regarding our Services and the services of our partners.

If you would like to opt out of our use of your information for such purposes that are considered a “sale” or “sharing” under California law, please contact info@michaelashowtv. com. Please note that we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of minors under 16 years of age without legally-required affirmative authorization.

Please note that we respond to and abide by browser-based opt-out preference signals. Any opt out preferences you have exercised through these methods will only apply to the browser on which you made them. The CCPA further provides you with the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising your access, deletion or sale/sharing opt out rights.

The CCPA also allows you to limit the use or disclosure of your “sensitive personal information” (as defined in the CCPA) if your sensitive personal information is used for certain purposes. Please note that we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information other than for purposes for which you cannot opt out under the CCPA.

D. Retention of Your Personal Information | We will only retain your information for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

This means that the retention periods will vary according to the type of information and the reason that we have collected the information in the first place. In determining how long to retain information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the information, the purposes for which we process the information, applicable legal requirements, and our legitimate interests. The purposes for which we process information (as well as the other factors listed above) may dictate different retention periods for the same types of information. For example, if you purchase a subscription to one of our paid services, we will retain your payment history records for a period of time after your purchase for our anti-fraud and legal compliance purposes. If you opt out of email marketing, we maintain your email on our suppression list indefinitely to comply with your request. We may delete or de-identify your information sooner if we receive a verifiable deletion request, subject to exemptions under applicable law. We may retain cached or archived copies of your information.

E. California “Shine the Light” Disclosure | If a company shares “personal information” (as defined in California’s “Shine the Light” law, Civil Code § 1798.83) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes (e.g., to send offers and information that may be of interest to you), California law requires either providing a mechanism by which consumers can obtain more information about such sharing over the prior calendar year, or providing a mechanism by which consumers can opt out of such sharing. As discussed above, we provide an opt out for this sharing.
