The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

      • Request access to your personal data.
      • Request to correct your personal data.
      • Request erasure of your personal data.

If you would like to access the data we hold on you, please complete the form below.


DATA ACCESS REQUEST

To access your data, please enter your email address below. Data is tied to the email address you have used on this website. This means if you used multiple email addresses, you will need to submit a data request per email address. Note: There is a slight delay when you click the send button. A confirmation/success message will display when your request has been received. If you leave this page before the confirmation message is displayed, your request may not be processed.


NOTE: For additional requests, we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). Since we hold little data, requests tied to an email NEED TO BE SENT via that email. We have no other means to verify your identity. This is a security measure we put in place to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

You do not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). BUT, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly repetitive, unfounded, or excessive. We may also refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We respond to all legitimate requests within 30 days. If you have several requests, it may take us longer than 30 days to fulfill your request. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

As noted previously, if you make a purchase through AMAZON, and you wish to make a data request, you MUST contact AMAZON as we hold no data pertaining to the transactions you make through their site.

If you make a purchase through GUMROAD, your information is stored on GUMROAD’S database. We can delete your information ONLY if we are not legally required to hold the information (i.e. we need to keep records of all transactions for the past 7 years for income tax purposes).
