Cookies/Tracking

We, and third parties with which we partner, use cookies and other technologies to help us with maintaining our Site, our advertising and our Services.

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies on this Site and on websites that utilize the Vū product. Cookies make it easier for you to navigate our Site and enable us to enhance the experience on the websites of our partners. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our Site or while on our partners' websites.

You can remove cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser's "help" file. If you reject cookies, you may still use our Site or the websites of our partners, but your ability to use some areas may be limited.

As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information to analyze trends, to administer the Site, to track users' movements around the Site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

Our third party partners employ cookies, clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), images, and scripts that help us better manage content on our Site. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. The use of cookies and other technologies by our partners, affiliates, tracking utility company and service providers is not covered by this privacy policy. We do not have access or control over the technologies of our third party partners. The information collected by the technologies of our third party partners is not tied to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our Site or while on the websites of our partners.

Behavioral Targeting / Re-Targeting

While visiting our Site and using the Vū product, information is collected about your activities through cookies and other technologies. These technologies may be used by us or our third party advertising partners to display advertisements to you that may be relevant to your interests. If you wish to not have the information these technologies collect, as described above, used for the purpose of serving you targeted ads, you may opt-out by clicking here. Please note this does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads.

Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Changes to Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time, including if we adjust our business practices or if legal or regulatory events require changes. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted and will be effective upon posting. If we determine to adjust the way we use and disclose personal information in a way that is materially different than our practices at the time the personal information was collected, we will first provide you with notice of the proposed changes and obtain your consent. Please refer back to this policy from time to time to ensure you are aware of our most current privacy practices.
