Your privacy is important to us, and we have prepared this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use, and share information obtained through your use of the Internet sites, applications, and services (“Services”) operated by, controlled by, or affiliated with Bleed Los Media, including without limitation Dodgers Beat (collectively, “we,” “us,” or “our”).
This Privacy Policy does not govern our use of any information you provide to us when you call us, write to us, or communicate with us in any manner other than through the Services. Because the Internet is global, information about you that we collect or that you submit may be transferred to, processed in, and held in countries (including the United States) other than the one in which you reside. By using the Services, you explicitly consent to such use of your information and agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
- Information We Automatically Collect We automatically collect certain information to help us understand how our users use the Services (collectively, “Usage Data”). For example, each time you visit the Services, we may automatically collect your IP address, browser and computer type, access time, the web page you came from, the URL you go to next, and the web page(s) that you access during your visit.
We use such Usage Data to diagnose problems with our servers and software, to administer the Services, and to gather demographic information. Our third-party advertising networks and servers also provide us reports that tell us how many ads were presented and clicked on the Services in a manner that does not personally identify any individual.
- Information You Choose to Submit You can visit the Services without telling us who you are or revealing any personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”). If, however, you wish to register to become a member of the Services, you are required to provide certain Personal Information (e.g., your name and email address), and we ask that you also provide a username and password. We use your Personal Information to fulfill your requests for products and services, to improve our Services, and to contact you from time to time about us and our products and services.
You may also choose to submit additional information about yourself (e.g., your gender, birth date, or zip code) that does not personally identify you (“Non-Personal Information”). We may also collect additional information about you when you visit certain features of the Services or the pages of certain of our partners, when you interact with offers and advertisements, when you contact us for support, when you log into the Services with your account, when you complete a survey, or when you enter promotions. Finally, you may choose to submit your alias, bio, email, photos, or any other information that you would like to share with other users of the Services (“Shared Information”).
- Our Information Sharing Practices (a) Generally. Except as otherwise described in this section, we will never share your Usage Data, Personal Information, Non-Personal Information, or Shared Information (collectively, “User Information”) with any third party without your permission.
(b) Advertisers. From time to time, we may share your Usage Data and Non-Personal Information to enable third parties who serve advertisements on the Services to deliver advertisements that will be relevant to you. We will not share any such information in a manner that would enable the advertiser to personally identify you.
(c) Aggregated Data. From time to time, we may share aggregated User Information with third parties. We will not share any aggregated data in a manner that would enable the recipient to personally identify you.
(d) Service Providers. From time to time, we may enter into relationships with third parties who provide services to us (e.g., data management and storage services or credit card processing services). In those circumstances, we disclose User Information that is necessary for such service providers to perform those services and require that they maintain the confidentiality of such User Information.
(e) Other Disclosure Scenarios. Notwithstanding anything in this Privacy Policy to the contrary, we reserve the right, and you hereby expressly authorize us, to share any User Information: (1) In response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish, protect, or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims; (2) If we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person or property; (3) If we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding significant abuse of the Services’ infrastructure or the Internet in general (such as voluminous spamming, denial of service attacks, or attempts to compromise the security of information); (4) To our parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control with us (in which case we will require such entities to honor this Privacy Policy); and (5) If we are acquired by or merged with another entity.
- Public Information If you identify any User Information as public, you are authorizing us to share such information publicly. For example, you may elect to make certain Shared Information (such as your alias, bio, email, or photos) publicly available. Also, there may be areas of the Services (e.g., message boards, discussion rooms, and other online forums) in which you are able to post information that will be available to all other users of the Services. By choosing to use these areas, you understand and agree that anyone may access, use, and disclose any information that you post to those areas.
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (e.g., pixel tags, web beacons) to enhance your experience, analyze trends, and administer the Services. Cookies help us recognize your browser and remember your preferences. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Refusing cookies may limit functionality.
- Advertising and Targeting We may allow third-party advertising companies to serve ads and collect anonymous information when you visit our Services. These companies may use information (not including your name, email, or phone number) about your visits to deliver targeted advertisements.
- Opt-Out Choices You may opt out of receiving marketing emails by following unsubscribe instructions. Please note that you may still receive non-promotional emails related to your account. To opt out of interest-based advertising, visit: http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp
- Mobile Location Services If you use location-based features in our mobile apps, we may collect location data (e.g., GPS, IP address). This helps us provide relevant content and features. You can disable location services through your device settings.
- Data Access and Deletion You may access, modify, or delete your personal data by updating your account or contacting us. We may retain data as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.
- Data Security We implement reasonable safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
- Children’s Privacy Our Services are not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have, we will delete it.
- Changes to this Privacy Policy We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the Effective Date. If changes are significant, we will notify you via email or notice on the Services.
