Also, by entering a promotion, you are agreeing to the official rules that govern that promotion, including allowing the sponsors to use your name, voice, and likeness in advertising and marketing associated with the promotion in accordance with applicable law. Co-Branded Partners. Co-Branded Partners are third parties with whom a WINK Website may jointly offer a service or feature. You can tell when you are accessing a service offered by a Co-Branded Partner because the Co-Branded Partner’s name will be featured prominently. You may be asked to provide information about yourself to register for a service offered by a Co-Branded Partner. In doing so, you may be providing your information to both us and the Co-Branded Partner, or we may share your information with the Co-Branded Partner.

Privacy Protections for Children Most WINK Websites are intended for a general audience and do not knowingly collect or store contact information about children under the age of 13. Some WINK Websites may ask for a birth date to ensure that they are not collecting information from children under 13 or to identify when additional steps may need to be taken in connection with information collected from children under 18. In those instances where a WINK Website has actual knowledge that it collects information from children, or offers a service directed toward children, it will comply with applicable laws, including the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. To read about our privacy policy for children under the age of 13, please see the Children’s Privacy Policy. User-Generated Content Some WINK Websites enable users to submit their own content for use in contests, blogs, over-the-air radio and television broadcasts, online audio and video streams, message boards, and other functions. Please remember that any information you disclose becomes public information and exercise caution when deciding to disclose your contact, financial, and other information in a submission. We cannot prevent such information from being used in a manner that may violate this Privacy Policy, the law, or your personal privacy and safety. Changes to This Privacy Policy We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices and service offerings. If we modify our Privacy Policy, we will update the “Effective Date” and such changes will be effective upon posting.

Each browser is different, so check the “Help” menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences. Web beacons are generally used in conjunction with cookies, so if your browser is set to reject cookies, or if cookies are deleted, web beacons will be unable to track your activity as you navigate between websites. It is up to you whether to allow us or third parties to send you cookies, but if you block cookies, you may not be able to view or access some or all of a WINK Website. By using WINK Websites and by choosing not to block or disable cookies, web beacons, or other similar technologies where you have the opportunity to do so, you consent to the uses of your personal information in relation to these technologies as described herein and in the WINK Privacy Policy.

In addition, you have choices about the collection and use of your information by third parties to display relevant advertisements, as described in our overview of third-party online advertising. WINK Digital Media Online Advertising In order to customize your experience on the WINK Websites, we may use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect information about the content and advertisements you view on our Websites. Based on this information, and other information we may collect about you, we try to infer your interests and show content and advertising that is more relevant to you. For example, if you access an article about computers on one WINK Website, we may show you a computer-related advertisement on another WINK Website based on your apparent interests. We also may receive information from third parties about you and your activities on other sites for the purpose of serving relevant advertisements to you on WINK Websites. For example, if you access an article on a third-party site about computers, we may use that information to serve you with a computer-related advertisement on a WINK Website. Please note that we may share information about our users with advertisers so that they can measure the effectiveness of advertisements viewed on the WINK Wesites. For example, we may tell advertisers the number of users who clicked on a particular advertisement. These online-advertising efforts across WINK Websites do not result in you seeing more advertisements, just more relevant advertising, and they allow us to provide you with free content and services on our Websites. We hope you value our efforts to show you content and advertising that more closely reflects your interests. Some of the advertisements you see on WINK Websites are delivered by third parties. To learn more, please read about third-party online advertising. Third-Party Online Advertising Some of the advertisements you see on WINK Websites are delivered by third parties who also collect information through their own cookies, web beacons, and other technologies about your online activities, either on our Websites or across the Internet, in an effort to understand your interests and deliver advertisements to you that are tailored to your interests. These third parties include advertisers, advertising agencies and ad networks that may collect information when you view or interact with one of their advertisements. Please note that WINK does not have access to the information these third parties may collect about your interests to deliver relevant advertising to you, and the information practices of these third parties are not covered by this Privacy Policy.

Also, through the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”), several media and marketing associations have developed an industry self-regulatory program to give consumers a better understanding of and greater control over ads that are delivered based on their online behavior across different Websites.

To learn more and make choices about interest-based ads from participating third parties, please visit the DAA Consumer Opt-Out page. Please note that if you opt out of having your information used to deliver advertisements tailored to your interests, you will continue to see advertisements on our Websites, but these advertisements may not be as relevant to you.

Children’s Privacy Policy We recognize the need to provide additional privacy protections when children visit the sites on which this Children’s Privacy Policy is posted. The following guidelines supplement our general Privacy Policy and follow the rules set by the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and other applicable laws. “Child” means an individual under 13 years of age or an individual under 18 where the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information about such an individual is restricted by applicable law. When we use the term “parent” below, we mean to include legal guardians. Information We Collect Children can enjoy content and features on WINK Websites without directly providing contact information. However, children who wish to participate in sweepstakes, contests, and certain other special activities may need to provide information such as first name, user name, password, email address, date of birth, city and state of residence, and gender. In the course of participating in interactive features such as chat rooms and message boards, a child may provide us with additional information about himself or herself, such as the contents of his or her postings. Some information, including information collected through cookies, web beacons, and other technologies, may be collected automatically. For more information, see the “information we collect automatically” section of our general Privacy Policy. If we collect, use, or disclose contact information collected from a child, we will provide notice and obtain parental consent in accordance with applicable law. We do not condition a child’s participation in an online activity on the child’s providing more contact information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity. Use of Information We use the information we collect consistent with the services requested by the child. For example, we may use information provided by the child to: Send a newsletter, electronic card, and other communication requested by the child; Enable a child’s participation in certain interactive features such as games, contests, message boards, chat rooms, song requests, and online scrolling tickers; and Respond to correspondence sent by the child. In addition, we may use a parent’s contact information to communicate with the parent regarding the child’s activities on WINK Websites. For example, if a child wins a sweepstakes or contest, we may use the parent’s contact information to conduct prize fulfillment. Disclosure of Information Information collected from children will be disclosed in the same ways described in the “Disclosure of Information” section of our general Privacy Policy. Third parties who receive contact information collected by WINK have agreed to maintain the confidentiality, security, and integrity of that information. Parents have the option not to consent to the disclosure of their child’s contact information to third parties. Parents may consent to WINK ‘s collection and use of their child’s contact information while refusing to permit the disclosure of that information to third parties. Parents’ Choices and Access to Children’s Information Parents may review the contact information we have collected from their child, refuse to permit us to collect further contact information from their child, and request that any contact information we have collected be deleted from our records. Parents may also correct factual inaccuracies. To review, update, or delete your child’s contact information, please contact us. You may also send your request to the postal address listed below. To protect your child’s safety, we ask for proof of your identity. We may deny access if we believe there is a question about your identity.
