2. WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

When you use or access our Services or otherwise interact with us, we (and the vendors and other parties we use to perform services on our behalf) may collect a variety of information about you and others, as described below. Such information includes, but is not limited to, information about you which is in a form that permits us to identify you either on its own or in combination with other available information (your “personal information”).

A. Information you provide to us.

We obtain certain personal information when you provide it to us: for example, when you contact us about our Services, setup your account profile, post or upload content, access and use our Services, purchase virtual currency or products through our Services, report a problem, apply for a job with us, or communicate with us by phone, email, via third-party social media sites or otherwise. The types of information may include:

• Personal details, such as information that identifies you or your personal characteristics, including your name, user ID, email address, phone number, contact details, your date of birth or photograph.
• Interests, such as your favorite music and television shows.
• Credentials, such as passwords, password hints or similar security information used for authentication and account access.
• Payment Information, such as your credit card, debit card, bank account information, and other payment details if you make a purchase or sign up for or through certain of our Services.
• Marketing data, such as your preferences in receiving marketing from us, or information about your use of our Services.
• Candidate data, such as employment history, qualifications, academic qualifications and education records, and any other information that you provide to us when applying for a job with us, for example in your curriculum vitae, a covering letter, on an application form or during an interview, or that we have received from a recruitment agency or background check provider.

B. User generated content

You can use our Services to create profiles and upload images and audio. Such activities are governed by our applicable Terms of Service (accessible from the footer link below). In addition, such postings may appear on other Websites and Mobile Apps, or when searches are executed on the subject of your posting. Whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly viewable web pages or applications, that information will be publicly available and can be collected and used by others and reproduced on websites or services over which we have no control. Further information is contained in the Zedge online safety and best practices guidelines.

C. Information we collect automatically

When you use or access our Services, we collect certain information about you, your use of our Service, and your interactions with us and our advertising through automated means. This information may include (without limitation):

• Device information, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, unique device identifiers, bundle ID, device data (including manufacturer, make and model), anonymous IDs for advertising or created by third party social networks, operating system, carrier code, carrier name, mobile carrier code, mobile network information, computer and connection information, browser type, existing applications, browsing activity, date and time, and non-precise or general device location information (e.g., city, region, country, language) or precise location (e.g. GPS coordinates or other location information). We also may collect any telephone number from which you contact us.
• Usage and diagnostics data, including information associated with your activities on our Services, including information about the way you interact with our Services or any content or advertising thereon, statistics regarding your page views and traffic to and from our Services, in-app search history and the number of bytes transferred, hyperlinks clicked, and other actions you take. Our Services may also track information such as the URL that you visited before you come to the Services and the URL to which you next go. When you download one of our Mobile Apps and/or register with Zedge, we also create identifiers which are unique to you. These identifiers are randomly generated and may be reset when you upgrade or reset your device.
• Crash logs, including data collected when one of our Services crashes when you are using it.  We use data contained in crash logs for analytics purposes to help us identify the cause of the crash and fix it in a future update.  Crash logs may include usage and diagnostics data described above collected when the Service crashed as well as the time of the crash and state of the Service.

We may combine this information with information you give to us with information that we collect about you both offline and online or that we get from another party. We may also aggregate your information with other individuals’ information to understand preferences and trends over time. We will use this information and the combined personal information for purposes set out in Section 3 “HOW DO WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION?” of this Privacy Policy (depending on the types of information we receive).

D. Cookies and other technologies

As with most websites and other digital platforms, we and our service providers use cookies and other technologies (such as pixel tags and web beacons) and resettable device identifiers to collect and store certain information about users of our Services, to improve our Services and advertising, to serve ads using third party advertising companies, and to help us remember you and your preferences when you revisit our Services. For more information about our practices in this area, please see our Cookie Policy.

E. Sensitive Personal Information

Certain information we collect may be considered sensitive personal information under certain state or local laws. For example, we may collect your precise geolocation and the username and password for any account you create with us. This information is collected to allow you to access and use the Services, comply with laws, manage our business, provide you with services, and to help target content and advertising.

If you access the Services with Third-Party Accounts, we will collect information that you have agreed to make available such as your name, email address, profile information (including profile picture) and preferences. This information is collected by the Third-Party Account provider and is provided to Zedge under their privacy policies.

Third-Party Providers. We also obtain personal information from other sources. We protect this information according to the practices described in this Privacy Policy and any additional restrictions imposed by the source of the data. These sources may include:

5. SECURITY

We use reasonable electronic, personnel, and physical measures to protect information from loss, theft, alteration, or misuse. However, please be advised that even the best security measures cannot fully eliminate all risks with respect to personal information submitted online. We cannot guarantee that only authorized persons will view your information transferred over the Internet. We are not responsible for third party circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures. In the event of a data breach, we may notify you by email, mail, or telephone where required or permitted by applicable law.

6. STORAGE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will store your personal information in a form which permits your identification for no longer than is necessary for the purpose for which such personal information is processed. We will destroy or permanently anonymize, aggregate, or de-identify your personal information without delay when it is no longer required for the purpose for which such personal information is processed.

Please note, however, that we may retain and use your personal information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements and rights, or if it is not technically and/or reasonably feasible to remove it. In such cases, your personal information will be stored in a secure location and will not be processed for any other purposes. Consistent with these requirements, and to the extent required or permitted (as the case may be) by applicable law, we will try to delete your personal information quickly upon request.

7. CHILDREN

We do not knowingly collect or store personal information from anyone under the age of 13.  If we are made aware that we have received personal information from someone under 13, or such higher age as required by applicable law, Zedge will use reasonable efforts to remove that information from our records.

8. PRIVACY POLICY CHANGES

Zedge may, in its sole discretion, change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any changes, we will notify you by posting the revised Privacy Policy on this page and by indicating the date that this Privacy Policy was last updated at the top of this Privacy Policy.

9. TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

The information collected by Zedge is hosted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and is subject to U.S. state and federal law. If you are accessing our Services from other jurisdictions, please be advised that you are transferring your personal information to us in the U.S. where data protection and privacy laws may be less stringent than the laws of your country. 

By using our Services, you acknowledge your personal information will be accessed by or transferred to Zedge and our affiliates in the jurisdictions where we operate, and accessed by or transferred to our personnel, affiliates, partners, and service providers who are located around the world, in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Our affiliates and their location are listed below:

Where required by applicable laws, we will take appropriate measures to ensure adequate protection of your personal information when transferred internationally and, if necessary, seek your prior consent. Such measures may include use of data transfer agreements or official transfer mechanisms such as data authority approved contractual clauses. For instance, if you are located in the EEA/UK, we may store your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy outside the EEA/UK. Where we transfer EEA/UK personal information to a third party located in a country outside of the EEA/UK not recognized by the European Commission, or another relevant body, as ensuring an adequate level of protection, Zedge takes a variety of steps, including implementing the required data transfer tools such as standard contract clauses approved by the European Commission or UK regulator as applicable or by choosing recipients that have Binding Corporate Rules (“BCRs”) in place, to help ensure your rights and protections travel with your personal information.

If you have any inquiries about our handling of your personal information or would like to obtain a copy of the respective data transfer tool, please contact us at privacy@zedge.net.

10. THIRD PARTY ADVERTISERS - YOUR AD CHOICES

If you block or reject cookies, not all of the tracking described here will stop.

Some of our advertisers enable you to purchase content such as ringtones, while others may allow you to earn virtual currency by watching their ads or filling out surveys. Our advertisers and their partners may collect additional information in the process of fulfilling these requests. Please note that this information may be used in accordance with the advertiser's privacy policy, which may be different from this Privacy Policy.

We may offer you the ability to purchase a subscription for an ad-free Zedge experience. As part of that subscription, you may still have the option of viewing rewarded videos in exchange for additional content access, but you will otherwise not be shown ads through the Services.

11. ACCESS AND CHANGES TO PERSONAL INFORMATION; ACCOUNT TERMINATION

You can request to access a copy of the personal information we hold about you, subject to certain exemptions and exceptions in accordance with applicable data protection law.

Please note that we may be obligated to keep some or all your information on our servers even after you've deleted your account. If you have accounts for multiple Services (e.g. Tapedeck and Zedge), each account would need to be deleted separately. 

12. EUROPEAN AND UK RESIDENTS

If you are based in the EEA or the United Kingdom, in certain circumstances you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal information that we hold about you — specifically:

• Request access to your personal information. You may have the right to request access to any personal information we hold about you as well as related information, including the purposes for processing the personal information, the recipients or categories of recipients with whom the personal information has been shared, where possible, the period for which the personal information will be stored, the source of the personal information, and the existence of any automated decision making.
• Request correction of your personal information. You may have the right to obtain without undue delay the rectification of any inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
• Request erasure of your personal information. You may have the right to request that personal information held about you be deleted.
• Request restriction of processing your personal information. You may have the right to prevent or restrict processing of your personal information.
• Request transfer of your personal information. You may have the right to request transfer of your personal information directly to a third party where this is technically feasible.
• Object to processing of your personal information. You may have the right to object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) as the legal basis for that particular use of your data (including carrying out profiling based on our legitimate interests). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your right to object. The right to object also applies where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
• Withdraw consent. You may have the right to withdraw your consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data (see the table in Section 3 for details of when we rely on your consent as the legal basis for using your data). However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

To exercise your privacy rights, individuals can make these requests online by contacting us by email at privacy@zedge.net. You can also manage certain settings from within our Mobile Apps. 

Where you believe that we have not complied with our obligations under this Privacy Policy or applicable data protection law, we ask that you contact us using the contact details in Section 1 first to see if we can resolve the issue. In the UK, you have a right to complain to us directly. However, you also have the right to make a complaint to a supervisory authority, such as the UK Information Commissioner’s Office or applicable European regulator.

No fee usually required

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

What we may need from you

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). This is a security measure 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.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

13. CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

California residents have the right to receive notice of certain of our privacy practices, including the categories of personal and sensitive personal information we may collect (see Section 2), the purpose for which we collect or use such information (see Section 3), whether such information is “sold” or “shared” as those terms are defined in California law (see Section 14), and how long such information is retained (see Section 6). You can make requests regarding your personal information as described in Section 14.

Depending on the nature of your request, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity prior to responding to your requests. The verification steps will vary depending on the sensitivity of the personal information and whether you have an account with us. You may designate an agent to submit requests to exercise certain privacy rights on your behalf. We may deny certain requests, or fulfil a request only in part, based on our legal rights and obligations. If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your request, you may submit an appeal by contacting us via phone at 1 844 219 5326 or email at privacy@zedge.net with “Data Privacy Appeal” in the subject line.
