1. SCOPE OF THIS NOTICE

Welcome to A+E Networks. The Notice below explains how A&E Television Networks, LLC collects, uses and shares information about you when you interact with our Site. This Notice describes how we use personal information we collect from your use of our Site, including tracking technologies, cookies and browsing data, the measures we take to protect your information, and how to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. Please read this Notice carefully to understand our practices regarding your information and how we will treat it.

2. TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND WHY

The personal information that we collect about you broadly falls into the following categories:

Certain parts of our Site may ask you to provide personal information voluntarily. For example, we may collect the following information:

The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information.

We use this information to process your order to purchase our content and to provide you with such content where your order is approved. We will also use your information to provide our Site to you and to communicate with you regarding content and services we believe may interest you (or your employer), to let you know if there are any service issues or errors with the Site, as well as for our other legitimate business purposes.

When you visit our Site, we may collect certain information automatically from your device. In some countries, including countries in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), this information may be considered personal information under applicable data protection laws.

Specifically, the information we collect automatically may include information like your IP address, device type, unique device identification numbers, browser-type, broad geographic location (e.g. country or city-level location) and other technical information. We may also collect information about how your device has interacted with our Site, including the pages accessed and links clicked (including date and time), videos, shows or content you watch or interact with on our Site, Login information, pages you viewed or searched for, page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page.

Collecting this information enables us to better understand the visitors who come to our Site, where they come from, and what content on our Site is of interest to them. We use this information for our internal analytics purposes and to improve the quality, security and relevance of our Site to our visitors.

Some of this information may be collected using cookies and similar tracking technology, as explained further under the heading "Cookies and similar tracking technology" [link] below.

From time to time, we may receive personal information about you from third-party sources (including our other websites, apps or from third parties), but only where we have checked that these third parties either have your consent or are otherwise legally permitted or required to disclose your personal information to us. We may combine and use this information as described in this Notice.

Regardless of how we have received your information, we use your personal information in the following ways:

In general, we will use the personal information we collect from you only for the purposes described in this Notice, or for purposes that we explain to you at the time we collect your personal information. However, we may also use your personal information for other purposes that are not incompatible with the purposes we have disclosed to you (such as archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes) if and where this is permitted by applicable data protection laws.

3. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We may share or disclose your personal information with the following categories of recipients:

4. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL INFORMATION (EEA VISITORS ONLY)

If you are a visitor from the EEA, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

However, we will normally collect personal information from you only (i) where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you or your employer, (ii) where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights, or (iii) where we have your consent to do so.

If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contact with you or your employer, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).

If we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), this interest will normally be to operate our Site, to provide you with our content and to communicate with you as necessary to provide our services to you and for our legitimate commercial interests, for instance, when responding to your queries, improving our Site, undertaking marketing, or for the purposes of detecting or preventing illegal activities. We may have other legitimate interests and if appropriate we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.

If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided under the "Contact Us" heading below [link].

5. STORAGE AND SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information that we collect and process about you. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

6. COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

Our Site may use cookies and other tracking technologies to enable certain features and functionality of our Site and to allow us to collect analytics about your use of the Site or advertise to you.

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

There are several types of cookies:

Session cookies expire at the end of your browser session and allow us to link your actions during that particular browser session.

Persistent cookies are stored on your device, and they remain there when you close your web browser. The cookies can be read by the website that created them when you visit that website again.

First-party cookies are set by the Site owner, in this case, A+E Networks®.

Third-party cookies are set by parties other than the Site owner. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the Site (e.g., advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the Site in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Cookies can be disabled or removed by tools that are available in most commercial browsers. The preference for each browser you use will need to be set separately and different browsers offer different functionality and options.

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Site to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies may be served by third parties through our Site for advertising, analytics and other purposes.

The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our Site and the purposes they perform are described below:

Strictly Necessary Cookies:

These cookies are strictly necessary in order to enable you to move around our Site, provide you with services available through our Site and to use some of their features, such as access to secure areas. As these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Site to you, if this category of cookie is disabled, certain functionality (like navigating our Site) may become unavailable.

Performance and Functionality Cookies:

These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Site but are nonessential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like videos) may become unavailable.

Analytics cookies:

These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Site is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like analytics) may become unavailable.

Advertising cookies:

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to our Site. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Site or opened an email that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Site to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Site. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to personalize content, and provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by their using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to our Site and other third-party websites. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other personal information unless you choose to provide this.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.

You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies or set your browser to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the website you visit. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Site, although your access to some functionality and areas of our Site may be restricted. The means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser.

The various browsers provide different procedures to manage your settings. Click on any of the browser links for instructions.

7. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective).

Specifically, our website servers are located in the USA, and our group companies and third-party service providers and partners operate around the world. This means that when we collect your personal information we may process it in any of these countries.

However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Notice. These include implementing an intra-group data transfer agreement incorporating the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between our group companies, which require all group companies to protect personal information they process from the EEA in accordance with European Union data protection law. A copy of our intra-group data transfer agreement can be provided upon request.

Where required by applicable data protection law, we have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and partners and further details can be provided upon request.

8. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

9. YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS

If you are a resident of the EEA, subject to applicable law, you may have the following data protection rights:

We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

10. LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY SITES

Our Site may contain links to websites and apps operated by a third party. If you follow a link to any third-party website or app, please note that the privacy notice of that third party will apply. We are not responsible for the collection, use or sharing of your information by these third parties.

11. YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

Section 1798.83 of the California Civil Code requires select businesses to disclose policies relating to the sharing of certain categories of your Personal Information with third parties.
