Information collected by Explore Euro
Non-Personally Identifiable Consumer Data
Explore Euro delivers advertisements across multiple
channels and media, including to web surfers who visit any
of the thousands of websites that are a part of Explore Euro
's network. With respect to individuals who visit those
sites, we collect what is known as "Click Stream Data."
Click Stream Data is anonymous, and includes information
such as a web surfer's IP address, web pages which have been
viewed by a web surfer, date and time, domain type, and
responses by a web surfer to an advertisement delivered by
us. We use different types of technologies to collect this
type of information, including cookies and web beacons (1x1
pixels).
|
|
In
addition to the Click Stream Data collected across our web
network, Explore Euro owns numerous websites and services,
and often runs promotions and sweepstakes offers through
various Internet channels (collectively referred to as
"Explore Euro Properties"), and collects information at
those sites. As a part of the registration process at the
Explore Euro Properties, we may request and collect
additional non-personally identifiable information about the
visitor. Examples of the non-personally identifiable data
that may be requested include age, gender, and interests.
None of the foregoing information (collectively referred to
as "non-personally identifiable data"), by itself, or
together, can by its nature be tracked to a specific
individual. Web surfers may elect not to provide Click
Stream Data by following the Cookie Opt-Out procedures set
forth below. In addition, web surfers who have provided
registration data may elect to have their data deleted from
our files, or kept from being used for purposes other than
for the service requested, by following the Data Opt-Out
procedures set forth below. Personally identifiable
information that is collected at the Explore Euro
Properties is discussed immediately below. |
|
Personally Identifiable Consumer Data
At some of the Explore Euro Properties, we ask
people to register and provide personally identifiable data.
Explore Euro is committed to making sure that clear notice
and choice is provided to all consumers before the
personally identifiable data is collected, and that they
have opted-in to our use of their data. Examples of
personally identifiable data that may be requested include
name, address, and email address. Web surfers who have
provided personally identifiable data may elect to have
their data deleted from our files, or kept from being used
for purposes other than for the service requested, by
following the Data Opt-Out procedures set forth below. |
|
Other Information that is Collected
At some Explore Euro Properties, including this
one, Explore Euro collects personal information on
individuals and companies who want to enter into business
relationships with Explore Euro ("business information").
An example of this would include web publishers who want to
become a part of Explore Euro 's web network. We maintain
business information for purposes of administering the
program, such as maintaining account information, sending
payments, etc. We may share business information with third
parties who provide administrative services (and they are
required to maintain the confidentiality of the
information), as well as pursuant to a court order or to law
enforcement or government officials as we deem necessary or
appropriate. |
|
How Collected Information is Used
The non-personally identifiable data that Explore
Euro collects is used for marketing and sales efforts to
better target advertisements and other content to
individuals in an effort to create a personally relevant
experience for each person.
The data is also used to predict responses to
advertisements, and to help determine which ads perform best
and which content is most appropriate for different
individuals.
If a consumer elects to provide Explore Euro with
personally identifiable data, we may utilise such data for
marketing purposes. In addition, that data may be combined
with information collected from other sources to assist with
targeting ads to that consumer's preferences and behaviours,
and for other Explore Euro sales and marketing efforts. |
|
Sharing With Third Parties
All personally identifiable data provided by
individuals is maintained in confidence by Explore Euro .
There are instances, however, in which personally
identifiable and non-personally identifiable information is
shared with third parties, as described below.
The non-personally identifiable data may be shared with
third-party partners of Explore Euro on an anonymous basis.
With respect to personally identifiable information,
Explore Euro may, from time to time, provide information to
certain third-party administrative vendors for efficiency
purposes in providing administrative services such as
billing, and pay-outs, or for other services related to
providing an Explore Euro product or service. Any
third-party vendor so used will be required to enter into a
confidentiality agreement with Explore Euro. |
|
Explore Euro
may also
share personally identifiable information with third parties
who enter into business relationships with us. These
business partners may include financial service providers
(including credit bureaux and insurance agents);
non-financial companies (including retailers, online and
offline advertisers, membership list vendors, direct
marketers and publishers); companies that perform marketing
services on our behalf, and others such as non-profit
organisations. We may also disclose information to a third
party who provides substantially similar services as the
original service signed up for, we decide to stop providing
such services ourselves. In such situations, we will provide
our subscribers with an opportunity to opt-out of such
sharing. Please be aware that Explore Euro is very careful
about which companies it does business with.
In addition to the above, there is also the possibility that
Explore Euro , or part(s) of the company, may one day be
purchased by, or merged with, another company. In such a
case, the acquiring (or merging) company will have access to
your information.
Finally, Explore Euro may share information on individuals
as it deems necessary to comply with a court order or to
cooperate with government and law enforcement officials. |
|
Security Precautions
Explore Euro makes significant efforts to
maintain the security of its network and the data we
collect. We use various technologies, including, in certain
instances, encryption, to ensure the high security
standards. Any data that is stored on Explore Euro 's
servers is treated as confidential and is not generally
available to the public. Explore Euro has an internal
security policy with respect to the confidentiality of
customer and other data, limiting access only to those
employees who we reasonably believe need to know such
information for the purpose of performing their jobs. Please
keep in mind, however, that the Internet is not a 100%
secure medium. Therefore, although we use reasonable efforts
to protect information, the possibility of somebody
defeating our security measures does exist. |
