Media Pop Privacy Policy
Media Pop. (“Media Pop”) is committed to maximizing your experience on our Website and within our Platform while ensuring a trusted environment. This privacy policy explains how we collect, protect, use and share information gathered about you online. This privacy policy applies solely to information submitted and collected online at our Website. It does not apply to information that you may submit to us via other means (either offline or through other Websites that may be maintained by other companies or organizations which we may be associated with).
What information does Media Pop collect? How do we use it?
Media Pop collects information that users of its website (together, with any related pages, subpages, sub domains and successor sites, the “Website”) and/or Platform provide on a voluntary basis. (The term “Platform” used herein shall be deemed to include any features, content, applications or other technology created or provided by Media Pop, whether such technology is being utilized by Media Pop or a third party.) We will not sell email addresses to third parties. When a user registers with us, we collect certain information about you (such as your name, email address, and other demographic information). We also may collect your IP address, browser type, domain name, access times and referring Website address. Such information may be collected during your registration, in response to specific requests from you (including, without limitation, when you might sign up for an email newsletter, chat room, or other online service we may offer), when you enter a contest or answer a survey provided by us or a company using our Platform, or via other means of you contacting us. Surveys conducted by Media Pop are conducted strictly for internal profiling purposes and only keep track of anonymous demographic data e.g., your age, usage of the Media Pop Website, favorite features. Our Website contains links through which an online user can email us. We collect personal information contained in the email for the purpose of responding to a user’s questions and/or comments.
No matter what method we use to collect information and no matter how we use that information, we will only collect information we believe reasonably necessary to fulfill your online requests and our legitimate business objectives.
Media Pop does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of thirteen
Media Pop does not solicit or seek to market our services to children under the age of thirteen. Media Pop will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under thirteen years of age. If you are under thirteen years of age you should not use this Website, and under no circumstances should you send information about yourself to Media Pop. If Media Pop discovers that a child under the age of 13 has provided Media Pop with personally identifiable information, Media Pop will immediately delete that child’s personally identifiable information from the Website. If you believe that a user of our services may be under thirteen (for example, if a child in your household has entered a contest on our Platform), you should notify us and we will immediately delete any information that such child may have provided.
What happens if I refuse to provide my personal information to Media Pop?
There is no obligation to provide Media Pop with any personal information. If you choose not to submit certain personally identifiable information, however, you may not be able to access certain areas of our Website. In such case, your Media Pop experience may be considerably limited. Such limitations may include the ability to enter contests or complete surveys hosted on our Platform. To simply access our Website, however, you do not need to give us any personally identifiable information.
With whom does Media Pop share my personally identifiable information?
From time to time, we may employ and share your personal information with vendors who use it solely to provide support for the internal operations of our Website (e.g., technical support and network delivery). These entities will not use your personally identifiable information for any other purpose, and have agreed to maintain the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the personal information they obtain from us.
It is our policy not to share, sell or rent your personal information to any company not directly related to Media Pop as either a provider or customer. Media Pop reserves the right to share your personally identifiable information with our parent or affiliated companies. Further, Media Pop may sell, transfer or otherwise disclose user information, including personally identifiable information, in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of substantially all assets, or other fundamental corporate change.
Media Pop may disclose your personal information in the good faith belief that we are required to do so by law or to comply with legal processes, respond to any claims or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Media Pop staff or the public.
Third party advertisements and content
When you are using the Media Pop Website, certain content, including advertisements, may be created or hosted by a third party. Such third parties may place cookies and/or use web beacons, which may be used to identify some of your preferences or to recognize you if you have previously had contact with them. We do not control the use of such technology by third parties, the information they collect, or how they use such information. Media Pop does not disclose your personally identifiable information to third parties serving ads or other content on our Website.
When you are using the Platform on a non-Media Pop owned website (i.e., Facebook, Twitter, etc.), a company or other third party may be utilizing our services in order to reach their desired audience (such party referred to herein as a “Third Party Content Creator”). In these circumstances, such Third Party Content Creator is directly responsible for their use of any information you provide. Any information received by Media Pop when a user submits information to a Third Party Content Creator via the Media Pop Platform will remain subject to the Privacy Policy on this page. While we at Media Pop will comply with this Privacy Policy, it is important that you understand that you are also providing information to the Third Party Content Creator that is utilizing our Platform and requesting your information. These circumstances include any contest or survey not directly indentified as being created by Media Pop. As we do not control the use of such technology by any Third Party Content Creator, we cannot monitor nor control the information they collect, nor how they use such information. We request that any Third Party Content Creator of our Platform state clearly their privacy policies with regard to the collection of user information. However, as a Third Party Content Creator can create content (including surveys and contests) on our Platform without supervision and/or approval by Media Pop, we are unable to guarantee that their privacy policies will be satisfactory to you. You should understand the privacy policy of any Third Party Content Creator prior to providing them with your personal information.
If you believe that the privacy policy of any Third Party Content Creator violates Facebook’s (or similar Websites) rules, please notify us at [PRIVACY@mediapop.co] and we will use all reasonable efforts to address your concerns and, if necessary, report any violations to the appropriate persons.
