We may change this Services Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy. We encourage you to check back regularly to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.

Also verified by TAG. We are registered vendors of the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework V2.0 as Vendor ID 203 and comply with its Specifications and Policies.

The following describe the categories of personal information we collect about Consumers via our Services (“Users”), the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information, and the categories of third parties with whom we share such personal information.

In order to help provide recommendations and promoted content that is relevant to your interests as well as compatible with your device, we automatically collect certain information when you (the “User”) access websites, mobile applications, and email newsletters that incorporate the Services.

Browser and Device Information: We collect your IP address and user agent string. From this data, we infer operating system, ISP, broad geo-location, and identifiers assigned to your browser version and/or device type.

Usage Data: We collect information about the websites, mobile applications, and email newsletters that integrate our Services such as the referral host that brought you to that digital format, the date and time your browser or device accessed the page, and the specific pages accessed within a given session.

View and Click Data: We collect information about whether you view various elements of the Services as well as the content and ads that you click on within the Services.

We use various technologies to collect information, including cookies, web beacons, web storage, unique device identifiers, and similar technologies. For example, we may use your web browsing information to show you specific recommendations and sponsored recommendations that we think will be of particular interest to you. For more information about cookies, and how to disable them, please see “Your Privacy Rights and Choices” below.

We may also obtain information from other sources and combine that with the user information we collect through our Services.  For example, we may collect information about you from third parties, including our business partners, other advertising companies, and publicly available sources

We use the information we collect to determine what content is most relevant to you, to disseminate recommendations and promoted content to you, and to understand, measure, and report on how users interact with the Services.  We also use the information we collect from the Service to maintain and constantly improve upon the Services. RevContent does not knowingly collect or make content recommendations based on any sensitive personal data, including but not limited to information revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, physical characteristics, and biometric data.

We may share the information we collect as follows or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy:

• With vendors, consultants and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work or perform services on our behalf;
• In response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, any applicable law, rule, regulation or legal process;
• If we believe your actions are inconsistent with our user agreements or policies, or to protect the rights, property or safety of RevContent or others;
• In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company;
• Between and among RevContent and any current or future parent, subsidiary and/or affiliated company;
• With unaffiliated third party programmatic demand partners in order to serve tailored sponsored recommendations that we think will be of particular interest to you; and
• With your consent or at your direction.

We may also share aggregated or de-identified information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you.  For example, we may share de-identified information with advertisers that partner with us to help them understand how well their advertisements performed.

You may opt out of receiving personalized content and advertisements from RevContent by clicking the “Opt Out” button at the top of this page.  When you opt out, we will set a cookie on your browser that tells us not to personalize recommendations or promoted content on that browser or to record information about the sites you are visiting.  If you use multiple devices and/or multiple browsers, you need to opt out on each device and browser you use.

Please note that even after you have opted out, you will still see RevContent recommendations and promoted content, but these recommendations and promoted content will not be personalized based on the sites you visit and if you clear your cookies, you will need to opt out again.

We store the information we collect for as long as is necessary for the purpose(s) for which we originally collected it. We may retain certain information for legitimate business purposes or as required by law. We retain Consumer data collected from our Services for up to 12 months.

We take reasonable measures to help protect the information we collect from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.  However, no transmission over the internet or electronic storage can be completely secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any data.

If we are made aware that we may have received personal data from or about a child in respect of whom we are not permitted to process personal data under applicable law, we will use reasonable efforts to investigate and remove that data from our records as soon as practicable. If you have a reason to believe that we might have any information from or about a child under the permitted age in the relevant location, please contact us at privacy@revcontent.com.
