We may collect the following types of information:
- Information you provide – When you sign up for a
Google Account, we ask you for
personal information. We may combine the information you submit under your account with information from other Google services or third parties in order to provide you with a better experience and to improve the quality of our services. For certain services, we may give you the opportunity to opt out of combining such information. You can use the Google Dashboard to learn more about the information associated with your Account. If you are using Google services in conjunction with your Google Apps Account, Google provides such services in conjunction with or on behalf of
your domain administrator. Your administrator will have access to your account information including your email. Consult your domain administrator’s privacy policy for more information.
- Cookies – When you visit Google, we send one or more
cookies to your computer or other device. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service, including for storing user preferences, improving search results and ad selection, and tracking user trends, such as how people search. Google also uses cookies in its advertising services to help advertisers and publishers serve and manage ads across the web and on Google services.
- Log information – When you access Google services via a browser, application or other client our servers automatically record certain information. These
server logs may include information such as your web request, your interaction with a service, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser or your account.
- User communications – When you send email or other communications to Google, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve our services. When you send and receive SMS messages to or from one of our services that provides SMS functionality, we may collect and maintain information associated with those messages, such as the phone number, the wireless carrier associated with the phone number, the content of the message, and the date and time of the transaction. We may use your email address to communicate with you about our services.
- Affiliated Google Services on other sites – We offer some of our services on or through other web sites. Personal information that you provide to those sites may be sent to Google in order to deliver the service. We process such information under this Privacy Policy.
- Third Party Applications – Google may make available third party applications, such as gadgets or extensions, through its services. The information collected by Google when you enable a third party application is processed under this Privacy Policy. Information collected by the third party application provider is governed by their privacy policies.
- Location data – Google offers location-enabled services, such as Google Maps and Latitude. If you use those services, Google may receive information about your actual location (such as GPS signals sent by a mobile device) or information that can be used to approximate a location (such as a cell ID).
- Unique application number – Certain services, such as Google Toolbar, include a unique application number that is not associated with your account or you. This number and information about your installation (e.g., operating system type, version number) may be sent to Google when you install or uninstall that service or when that service periodically contacts our servers (for example, to request automatic updates to the software).
- Other sites – This Privacy Policy applies to Google services only. We do not exercise control over the sites displayed as search results, sites that include Google applications, products or services, or links from within our various services. These other sites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you.
In addition to the above, we may use the information we collect to:
- Provide, maintain, protect, and improve our services (including advertising services) and develop new services; and
- Protect the rights or property of Google or our users.
If we use this information in a manner different than the purpose for which it was collected, then we will ask for your consent prior to such use.
Google processes personal information on our servers in the United States of America and in other countries. In some cases, we process personal information outside your own country.
Choices
You can use the Google Dashboard to review and control the information stored in your Google Account.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some Google features and services may not function properly if your cookies are disabled.
Google uses the DoubleClick advertising cookie on AdSense partner sites and certain Google services to help advertisers and publishers serve and manage ads across the web. You can view and manage your ads preferences associated with this cookie by accessing the
Ads Preferences Manager. In addition, you may choose to opt out of the DoubleClick cookie at any time by using
DoubleClick’s opt-out cookie.
Information sharing
Google only shares personal information with other companies or individuals outside of Google in the following limited circumstances:
- We have your consent. We require opt-in consent for the sharing of any sensitive personal information.
- We provide such information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies or other trusted businesses or persons for the purpose of processing personal information on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
- We have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Google, its users or the public as required or permitted by law.
If Google becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, we will ensure the confidentiality of any personal information involved in such transactions and provide notice before personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Information security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, including appropriate encryption and physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.
We restrict access to personal information to Google employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
Accessing and updating personal information
When you use Google services, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort. Because of the way we maintain certain services, after you delete your information, residual copies may take a period of time before they are deleted from our active servers and may remain in our backup systems. Please review the service Help Centers for more information.
Enforcement
Google adheres to the US Safe Harbor Privacy Principles of Notice, Choice, Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity, Access and Enforcement, and is registered with the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Safe Harbor Program.
Google regularly reviews its compliance with this Privacy Policy. When we receive formal written complaints, it is Google’s policy to contact the complaining user regarding his or her concerns. We will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that cannot be resolved between Google and an individual.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent. We will post any Privacy Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of Privacy Policy changes). We will also keep
prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review.

 What
This Privacy Policy Covers
Casale Media® produced
this privacy policy in an effort to demonstrate its firm commitment
to privacy. The following discloses the information gathering and
dissemination practices of the Casale Media® Online
Advertising Network.
Casale Media® believes
in all Internet users' rights to privacy. Casale Media® does
not engage in any form of distribution or sale of Personally
Identifiable information to third parties for their own promotional
use, including but not limited to, names, email/postal addresses,
and phone numbers. All information collected by the Casale Media®Online
Advertising Network is not personally identifiable as it relates to

in any form of consumer profiling.

Cookies
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an
anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a web
site's computer and stored on your computer's hard drive.
The Casale Media® Online
Advertising Network uses cookies for the purpose of tracking when an
Internet user has seen an advertisement. These cookies do not and
can not provide Casale Media® with
any Personally Identifiable information about an Internet user.
These cookies serve two purposes:
- They are used to inform the Casale Media
® Online
Advertising Network whether or not an advertisement has been
served to the same computer before, and if so, when the
advertisement was served. These cookies are not used
by Casale Media® to
build a profile of a user's behaviour nor are
they used by Casale Media® for
the purposes of behavioural tracking or behavioural targeting.
Casale Media® is
one of the few online advertising networks that do not engage
in the practice of behavioural targeting.
They are used to facilitate retargeting at a campaign level.
Retargeting occurs within the confines of a user-to-advertiser
relationship, and is not available for general targeting on the
network.
Casale Media® uses
both session and persistent cookies on our website. These are needed
for site navigation and to perform aggregate analysis of what is
viewed on our site.
Opt-Out
Consumers have the unrestricted ability to opt out of all Casale
Media® paid
advertising, cookies and tracking at any time by utilizing our opt
out mechanism. In place of paid advertising, users who have opted
out will receive unpaid, public service announcements (PSAs). Please
click here to access our opt-out mechanism. Casale Media® is
a member of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), a cooperative
of online marketing and analytics companies committed to building
consumer awareness and establishing responsible business and data
management practices and standards. To learn more or to opt out of
targeted advertising from other NAI member networks, please click

Collection and Use of Non-Personally Identifiable Information
All information shared with both
advertisers and publishers within the Casale Media® online
advertising network is done so in an aggregate fashion. This allows
us to provide members of the advertising network with broad
percentages regarding the users who are receiving advertisements
through the network. However, this data is not linked to any form of
Personally Identifiable information.
Information collected by advertisers on their websites who are
members of the Casale Media® online
advertising network may contain Personally Identifiable information.
However, data such as this is provided by the individual Internet
user in the form of online order forms, contests, or otherwise
through the members website, not casalemedia.com. This Personally
Identifiable information collected outside the Casale Media® Online
Advertising Network is subject to the privacy policies of the
individual advertisers involved.
The Casale Media® Online
Advertising Network prides itself on providing an atmosphere that is
non-disruptive to Internet users. Our proprietary targeting
methodologies enable advertisers to effectively target their
campaigns to the audience(s) they are looking to reach without
engaging in profiling practices.
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes
internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service
provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time
stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site,
track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to
personally identifiable information. Log file data may be retained
for up to a maximum period of fifteen months.
Collection and Use of Personally Identifiable Information
Registering to become a member of the Casale Media® online
advertising network, either as an advertiser or a publisher,
requires the submission of Personally Identifiable information to
our company. This can include your full name, mailing and/or billing
address, email address, company name, and website URL. We use this
information to service your accounts and respond to inquiries.
Communications to our business users are related to the Advertising
Network. We hold all such information submitted in strict
confidence. Under no circumstances will a user's email address,
mailing address, phone number, or other Personally Identifiable
information be sold to, supplied to, or otherwise made available to
any third party. For registered members to update or correct their
personal information reach us through the "Contact Us" page.
Security
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect
the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission
and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet,
or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore,
while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your
personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If
you have any questions about security on our Web site, please
contact us using our online
form.
We
reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable
information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure
is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial
proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Web site.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
Casale Media® may
find it necessary to update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
Any changes will be posted at this site. Except as otherwise
required by law, any modifications made to this Privacy Policy will
not materially affect the privacy of data collected by Casale Media® prior
to the effective date of the policy change. |
