At Brandscreen, we recognize that privacy is important. This Privacy Policy applies
to all of the products, services and websites offered by Brandscreen. In addition,
where more detailed information is needed to explain our privacy practices, we post
supplementary privacy notices to describe how particular services process personal
information.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact
us through our website or write to us at: privacy@brandscreen.com
Information we collect and how we use it
- Information you provide
-
When you sign up for a Brandscreen Account or other Brandscreen service or promotion
that requires registration, we ask you for personal information (such as your name,
email address and an account password). For certain services, such as our advertising
programs, we also request credit card or other payment account information which
we maintain in encrypted form on secure servers. We may combine the information
you submit under your account with information from other Brandscreen 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.
- Cookies
-
When you visit Brandscreen, we send one or more cookies – a small file containing
a string of characters – to your computer or other device that uniquely identifies
your browser. 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. Brandscreen also uses cookies in its advertising
services to help advertisers and publishers serve and manage ads across the web.
We may set one or more cookies in your browser when you visit a website, including
Brandscreen sites that use our advertising cookies, and view or click on an ad supported
by Brandscreen’s advertising services.

When you access Brandscreen services, our servers automatically record information
that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. These server logs may include
information such as your web request, 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.

When you send email or other communications to Brandscreen, we may retain those
communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and
improve our services.
- Affiliated Brandscreen 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 Brandscreen in order to deliver the
service. We process such information under this Privacy Policy. The affiliated sites
through which our services are offered may have different privacy practices and
we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
- Gadgets
-
Brandscreen may make available third party applications through its services. The
information collected by Brandscreen when you enable a gadget or other application
is processed under this Privacy Policy. Information collected by the application
or gadget provider is governed by their privacy policies.

Brandscreen may present links in a format that enables us to keep track of whether
these links have been followed. We use this information to improve the quality of
our search technology, customized content and advertising. Read more information
about links and redirected URLs.
- Other sites
-
This Privacy Policy applies to Brandscreen services only. We do not exercise control
over 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.
Brandscreen only processes personal information for the purposes described in this
Privacy Policy and/or the supplementary privacy notices for specific services. In
addition to the above, such purposes include:
- Providing our services, including the display of customized content and advertising;
- Auditing, research and analysis in order to maintain, protect and improve our services;
- Ensuring the technical functioning of our network;
- Protecting the rights or property of Brandscreen or our users; and
- Developing new services.
Brandscreen processes personal information on our servers in the United States of
America and in other countries. In some cases, we process personal information on
a server outside your own country. We may process personal information to provide
our own services. In some cases, we may process personal information on behalf of
and according to the instructions of a third party, such as our advertising partners.
Choices for personal information
When you sign up for a particular service that requires registration, we ask you
to provide personal information. 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.
If we propose to use personal information for any purposes other than those described
in this Privacy Policy and/or in the specific service privacy notices, we will offer
you an effective way to opt out of the use of personal information for those other
purposes. We will not collect or use sensitive information for purposes other than
those described in this Privacy Policy and/or in the supplementary service privacy
notices, unless we have obtained your prior consent.
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
Brandscreen features and services may not function properly if your cookies are
disabled.
You can decline to submit personal information to any of our services, in which
case Brandscreen may not be able to provide those services to you.
Information sharing
Brandscreen only shares personal information with other companies or individuals
outside of Brandscreen 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 Brandscreen, its users or the
public as required or permitted by law.
- If Brandscreen 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.
- We may share with third parties certain pieces of aggregated, non-personal information,
such as the number of users who searched for a particular term, for example, or
how many users clicked on a particular advertisement. Such information does not
identify you individually.
Please contact us at the address below for any additional questions about the management
or use of personal data.
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,
as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems
where we store personal data.
We restrict access to personal information to Brandscreen employees, contractors
and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve
our services. 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.
Data integrity
Brandscreen processes personal information only for the purposes for which it was
collected and in accordance with this Privacy Policy or any applicable service-specific
privacy notice. We review our data collection, storage and processing practices
to ensure that we only collect, store and process the personal information needed
to provide or improve our services or as otherwise permitted under this Policy.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate,
complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or correct their personal
information whenever necessary.
Accessing and updating personal information
When you use Brandscreen 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. Some of our services have different procedures to access, correct or delete
users’ personal information. We provide the details for these procedures in the
specific privacy notices or FAQs for these services.
Enforcement
Brandscreen regularly reviews its compliance with this Privacy Policy. Please feel
free to direct any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or Brandscreen’s
treatment of personal information by contacting us through this web site or by writing
to us at privacy@brandscreen.com
When we receive formal written complaints at this address, it is Brandscreen'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 Brandscreen 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, and we expect
most such changes will be minor. Regardless, 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).
Each version of this Privacy Policy will be identified at the top of the page by
its effective date, and we will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy
in an archive for your review.
