Privacy And Cookie

Welcome to Trends Beat Privacy Policies. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose personal data in connection with your use of our Services.

About Our Privacy Policy

This Privacy Notice explains how Trends Beat collects, uses, and discloses data about you and processes information that identifies or can be used to identify you (sometimes referred to as “personal data” or “personal information” under applicable privacy and data security laws, and “personal data”) when you use our website(s), mobile apps, and other online products or services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”) or when you otherwise use our website(s), and mobile apps. We occasionally collaborate with third parties to provide you with products, promotions, or other experiences. We will show you the privacy policies of those third parties when they receive information related to those experiences.

What Information do We Retain?

We collect information that you provide to us directly.

Account Information:

If you create a Trends Beat account (“Account”), we will collect the information you give us about your Accounts, such as your name, email address, username, and password.

Purchase Data:

If you make a purchase from a third party after clicking on an affiliate link on the Services, we will receive information about the purchase to manage our business relationship.

Payment Information:

To order products or services through our Services, you may be required to provide certain financial information (such as your bank account or credit card information) to facilitate payment processing. We will gather the information required to complete the transaction (for example, payment details). However, our third-party payment processing company collects and stores your financial information, and the use and storage of that data are governed by the third-party payment processor’s applicable privacy policy.

Additional Account Information:

As part of your Account, you may provide additional information (such as your personal description). This information will be available to the general public. If you do not want to share this information with us or others, do not include it in your Account.

Automatically Collected Data

When you access or use the Services, we collect data that indirectly identifies you, as well as other data about you that we automatically collect, such as:

Data Logging:

When you interact with the Services, we automatically receive and record information from your device or web browser. We collect your IP address, mobile device ID, language preference, time zone setting, operating system, platform, internet service provider (ISP), and links you have clicked on or shared with others, including via email and social media. When you create an Account, we create a user ID that indirectly identifies you. This information is used to collect data about your activities on the Services. We link information that identifies you indirectly to your Account (if you have one) and other information we have collected about you.

Cookies:

When you visit the Services, we will place “cookies” and similar tracking technologies, such as cookies and web beacons, on your device. Please see our “Cookie Policy” section below for more information on cookies.

Information about Your Profile

We will collect certain data you provide us as part of your Account sign-up as described above. The information you provide us in connection with purchases or orders made by you and your interests, preferences, feedback, and survey responses if you sign up for an Account. We infer your interests and preferences based on data we collect about the types of content you’ve interacted with, how long you interacted with them, and how frequently you interacted with them. We do not disclose email addresses to other users unless required by law to protect our rights or the rights of our users.

Location Data

We estimate your location based on your IP address. We may also collect the language or country you select. We link location data to other information we have collected about you when we provide certain services, such as providing you with a version of our Services that is localized to your country.

Data Aggregation

We analyze and aggregate personal data we collect, such as the number and frequency of your visits to the Services, to generate anonymized metrics and statistical data that do not identify you as an individual. Also, we combine information about you with information about other users to create aggregated data audience segments, such as statistical, demographic, and usage data. We treat aggregated data as personal data and treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy if we combine or connect it with your data.

How We Collect Your Personal Information?

You may provide us with your personal information directly, such as when you create an Account, donate to us, support us by paying for a subscription, purchase products or services, subscribe to our newsletters, opt into marketing communications, publish posts or comments, participate in a promotion or survey, request user support, or contact us for any reason.
When you interact with our Services, we automatically collect personal data. Using cookies and similar technologies, we collect information about your devices, browsing activities, and interests. We may collect data from unaffiliated third parties to better understand you and provide you with relevant information and offers. We may, for example, receive information about your interests or preferences and contact information, such as your email address.
We may receive your data from third parties when you purchase items through our Services or after clicking on an affiliate link in our content. This information may include your contact information and financial and transaction data (such as items purchased and purchase price) from technical, payment, and delivery service providers.

What do we do With Your Data?

We collect data to provide, maintain, and improve our services. We also use the data we collect to:

• Sending you technical notices, updates, security alerts, support, and administrative messages, as well as responding to your comments, questions, and customer service requests.
• Make assumptions about your interests and preferences. We infer your interests and preferences based on data we collect about the types of content you’ve interacted with, how long you interacted with them, and how frequently you interacted with them.
• Creating and updating profiles and audience segments for analytics, interest-based advertising, and marketing on the Services, as well as on websites, mobile apps, and other platforms controlled by our advertisers and other third-party advertising partners (“Third Party Sites”).
• Communicate with you about Trends Beat and others’ products, services, offers, and events, as well as provide news and information we believe will be of interest to you.
• Personalize and improve the Services by displaying advertisements, content, or features that are relevant to your profile, activities, or interests.
• Customize the content delivered by our third-party advertising partners on the Services (for example, personalized third-party advertising).
• We may use information about you, such as your email address, to identify you across devices used to access the Services and offline. This allows us to learn more about your interests and preferences, which we then use to target advertisements on the Services and Third Party Sites.

Marketing Choices

We use your data to help us decide which products, services, and offers may be of interest to you when you sign up for a promotion such as sweepstakes or subscribe to or create an Account to use our Services. We will send you marketing messages if you requested information from us, purchased goods or services from us, or provided us with your information when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion. We may still send you non-promotional emails if you opt-out of receiving marketing messages, such as those about your Account or our ongoing business relationships. We will obtain your permission before sharing your personal information with any third party.

Keeping Your Personal Information

We retain your personal information for as long as it is required for the purposes for which it was collected.

• When determining how long we will keep your information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, why we require it, and any applicable legal requirements.
• We may anonymize your personal information for research or statistical purposes (so that it can no longer be associated with you).

Sharing Your Personal Information

In general, your personal information will be kept by Trends Beat, but we may share personal information about you as follows or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy:

• With vendors, consultants, and other service providers who process your data on our behalf when providing us with services such as data analytics, ad networks, research, marketing, and financial services.
• With advertising partners (“Advertising Partners”) to personalize your experience and better tailor the services, products, marketing, and advertising available on our Services and their Third Party Sites. Our advertising partners are businesses that provide services that enable us to provide you with advertising.
• In some cases, we may be required by law to disclose or share our personal data without your consent, such as to comply with a court order or law enforcement. In such cases, we will only disclose your personal information if we have a good-faith belief that doing so is required by applicable legal obligations.

Other Sharing

We may also share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot be used to reasonably identify you. We may, for example, share aggregated or de-identified information with our ad partners and service providers so that we and they can better understand how people use our Services; this allows us to grow our business and improve and develop our products and services.

Third Party Sites

Our websites and apps may contain links to third-party websites, apps, and social media platforms (collectively, “Third-Party Sites”). By clicking on those links, you may give third parties permission to collect or share information about you. We do not endorse or control Third-Party Sites, which may be governed by their own terms of service and privacy policies. We encourage you to read their privacy policies and terms to understand how they process information about you. You are solely liable for any damages or other harm caused by your use of Third-Party Sites, whether to you or third parties. Please take all necessary precautions to protect yourself when visiting Third-Party Sites, especially when downloading or purchasing anything from them.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a server sends to a browser during a browsing session. Cookies are typically stored on the hard drive of your computer and are used by websites to simulate a continuous connection to that site. When you interact with a website, cookies automatically identify your browser. A “web beacon,” also known as a tag, pixel tag, or clear GIF, is a device that transmits data to a web server. In this Privacy Policy, we refer to “cookies” to include not only cookies but also web beacons and other similar technologies.
We can collect the following types of personal data using cookies and similar technologies: a unique ID assigned to your device; IP address; device and browser type; operating system; referring URLs; content viewed or other actions taken through our Services; time and date of those actions; country and language selected. Cookies on websites and apps can be disabled using tools built into browsers and devices. You may not be able to use all of our services if you disable cookies. We recommend that you keep our essential cookies enabled for a better user experience and to assist us in continuing to improve and develop our products and services.

• Session cookies keep track of you while you use our Services. They are deleted when you log out of the Services and close your web browser. Session cookies are used to ensure that you are served the correct content, to balance and monitor the load on our servers, and for other technical aspects of our Services. You can set your device to reject these cookies, but our Services will most likely not function properly or at all if you do.
• Consent cookies are used by our consent management platform to record your preferences regarding the third-party cookies described below, as well as to store and share your preferences with those third parties. These cookies are required for us and third parties with whom we have a business relationship to ensure that we request your consent, record your consent preferences, and act on such consent preferences.

Third Party Cookies: Advertising & Affiliate Links

Our ad partners and affiliate link partners collect personal information from you for the purposes specified in our cookie consent management platform.

• Ad networks, such as third-party ad servers, ad agencies, ad technology vendors, and research firms are examples of ad partners.
• When you buy something from them or another third party after clicking on an affiliate link in our content, our affiliate link partners pay us.

When you use the Services and visit Third-Party Sites, our ad partners use third-party cookies to serve your ads and target you with tailored (or personalized) ads. Cookies are also used to track traffic on the Services (for example to track ad views).
When you interact with our Services, ad partners and affiliate link partners may view, edit, or set their own cookies on your mobile device or web browser. They use cookies to track your use of our Services and your online activities. We are not responsible for these third parties privacy practices, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies to understand how they process information about you. You can control who can set these third-party cookies on your browser or device by visiting our consent preferences center. Returning there allows you to change your mind and reconsider your consent choices at any time.

Changes to this Privacy Statement

We will most likely update this Privacy Policy in the future, and when we do, we will update the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, you will be notified through the Services, such as our homepage, email, or other communication. Please return and check for the most up-to-date information on our privacy practices.
