III. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

Depending on your interaction with us, we may use the categories of personal information described above for the following business and commercial purposes:

To provide our Service and fulfill your requests. We use your information to provide and maintain our Services, to process and fulfill your requests, to communicate with you about your use of our Services or changes to our Services, to respond to your inquiries, and for other customer service and business administration purposes. For example, when you enroll in a newsletter, we may use your personal information to deliver that newsletter to you.
To improve our Service. We use your information to understand and analyze our user base and how you use the Services, to improve and enhance the Services, and to develop new products, services, features, and functionality.
Identification and authentication purposes. We may use your information for identification and authentication purposes. For example, when you enter your account login ID and password to enter one of our registration or login portals, we use your login credentials to authenticate your identity.
Personalization. We use your information to tailor the content and information that we may send or display to you, to offer location customization, and personalized help and instructions, and to otherwise personalize your experience while using the Services. For example, if you allow us to collect geolocation data, we use this information to deliver content that is around your specific location and identify business location/listings around your location.
Marketing and promotional purposes. We may use your information to send you news and newsletters, event updates, and to communicate with you about new features, offers, events, or products, or to otherwise contact you about information we think may be of interest to you. In relation to marketing communications, we may provide you with an “opt-in” or “opt-out” mechanism depending on where in the world you are located. An “opt-in” mechanism will provide you the opportunity to positively indicate that you would like or do not object to our sending you such further communications and we will not send you any unless you have “opted-in”. An “opt-out” mechanism will provide you the opportunity to indicate that you do not want us to send you such further communications, and if you “opt-out” we will not send you any.

We may also use your information to display advertisements to you on our site (including to sell advertising space on the Services) and on other unaffiliated websites and services.
Research and reporting. We may use your information to administer surveys and questionnaires (online and offline) for research and reporting purposes to help us better serve individuals by learning more about their needs and the quality of the products, services, and educational information we provide. The survey responses may be utilized to determine the effectiveness of our Services, various types of communications, advertising campaigns and/or promotional activities.
Combining information. We (and our third party business partners on our behalf) may merge, co-mingle, or otherwise combine information, including your personal information, in furtherance of the purposes described above.
To comply with legal obligations. We may use your information to comply with our legal obligations or to exercise or defend our rights or the rights of a third party, including complying with law enforcement or government authority requests and participating in compliance audits.
To protect us and others. We may use your information where we believe it necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities, fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person or to otherwise enforce this Policy, our Terms and Conditions, and the integrity of the Services.
Deidentified data. We may also deidentify or anonymize your data in such a way that you may not reasonably be re-identified by us or another party, and we may use this deidentified data for any purpose permitted under applicable law. To the extent we deidentify any data originally based on personal information, we will maintain and use such data in deidentified form and will not attempt to reidentify the data.

V. OUR USE OF COOKIES AND RELATED TECHNOLOGIES

We and our third party partners use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track information about your use of our Services. We use this information to better understand, customize, and improve user experiences with the Services, as well as for advertising purposes. We may combine this information with other personal information we collect about you (and our third party business partners may do so on our behalf).

Cookies. Cookies are small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters. We may use both session and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to our Site. Please review your browser’s “Help” file to learn the proper way to modify your cookie settings. Please note that if you delete or choose not to accept cookies from the Services, you may not be able to utilize the features of the Services to their fullest potential. To learn more about cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
Clear GIFs, pixel tags, and other technologies. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web and app pages. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs, or pixel tags) to among other things, track the activities of site visitors, help us manage content, and compile statistics about Services usage. A clear GIF can collect information such as: the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the tag appears; the URL of the page on which the pixel tag appears; the time the page containing the pixel tag was viewed; the browser type and language; the device type; geographic location; and, the identification number of any cookie on the computer previously placed by that server. We and our third party business partners may also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.
Analytics. We may use Google Analytics and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting to collect information regarding visitor behavior and visitor demographics on some of our Sites, and to develop website content. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can opt out of Google’s collection and processing of data generated by your use of the Services by going to http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

?We may use Chartbeat to monitor and analyze the use of our Service. Chartbeat is a web analytics service offered by Chartbeat that tracks and reports website article traffic. For more information on Chartbeat’s privacy practices, please see Chartbeat’s Privacy and Terms: https://chartbeat.com/privacy and https://chartbeat.com/terms.?
Interest-based advertising. We may set tracking tools (e.g., cookies, clear GIFs) provided by third-party advertising partners on our site to collect information regarding your activities on our site (e.g., your IP address, page(s) visited, time of day) for advertising purposes. We may also share such information with third party advertising partners. These advertising partners may use this information (and similar information collected from other websites) for purposes of delivering targeted advertisements to you when you visit non-Voice Media Group related websites within their networks. This practice is commonly referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “online behavioral advertising.” If you do not want interest-based advertising, you may be able to opt-out by visiting US-based www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp and www.aboutads.info/choices/.

We use Google’s AdSense and DoubleClick services to show advertisements to you to help support and maintain our Services. You can use Google’s Ads Settings to manage the Google ads you see and opt out of Ads Personalization. For more information on Google’s privacy practices, please see Google’s Privacy and Terms: https://policies.google.com/?hl=en

We use the remarketing services below to advertise on third-party websites to you after you have visited our Services:

Do Not Track (DNT). Your browser setting may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal to websites and online services that you visit. There is no consensus as to what DNT means in this context, and since some browsers apply DNT signals by default it does not necessarily reflect our visitors’ choice as to whether they wish to receive advertisements tailored to their interests. As a result, like many websites, we do not alter our practices when the Services receive a DNT signal from a visitor’s browser. For information about “do-not-track”, visit http://www.allaboutdnt.org.

VI. DISCUSSION BOARDS AND SIMILAR FEATURES

When you post information on a discussion board or comment publicly on an article on our Services, the information you post and your username are publicly accessible. This information can be viewed online and collected by other people. We are not responsible for the way these other people use this information. When contributing to a discussion, we strongly recommend you avoid sharing any personal details, and especially information that can be used to identify you directly such as your name, age, address and name of employer. We are not responsible for the privacy of any identifiable information that you post in our online community or other public pages of the Services.

VII. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

We may send periodic promotional emails to you. You may opt-out of promotional emails by following the opt-out instructions contained in the email.

If you opt-out of receiving promotional emails, we may still send you emails about your account or any services you have requested or received from us.

VIII. SECURITY AND RETENTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

We implement physical, technical, and organizational security measures designed to safeguard personal information. These measures are aimed to protect the personal information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Please be aware that despite our efforts, no data security measures can guarantee security.

Your personal information will be held for only so long as it is necessary for the purpose for which it was originally collected, and in accordance with applicable local law. We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy. When assessing retention periods, we first examine whether it is necessary to retain the personal information collected and, if retention is required, work to retain the personal information for the shortest possible period permissible under applicable law.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the personal information, the purposes for which we process the personal information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

IX. THIRD PARTY LINKS

What are cookies

Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your web browser by a website you visit. A cookie file is stored in your web browser and allows the Service or a third-party to recognize you and make your next visit easier and the Service more useful to you.

The period during which a cookie is stored on the device you are browsing with depends on whether it is a “persistent” or a “session” cookie. Session cookies are only stored on a device until the web browser is closed. Permanent cookies remain on the device after you have finished browsing until they expire or are deleted.

How Voice Media Group uses cookies

When you use and access the Service, we place a number of cookies files in your web browser.

We use cookies for the following purposes:

We use both session and persistent cookies on the Service and we use different types of cookies to run the Service:

Essential cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our Services. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our Service.

Functionality cookies. We use these cookies to recognise you when you return to our Service. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

Analytics cookies. We use analytics cookies to track information about how the Service is used so that we can make improvements (for example, to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it). We also use analytics cookies to test new advertisements, pages, features or new functionality on the Service to see how our users react to them.

Advertising cookies. We use these cookies to offer you personalized and more relevant advertisements, to determine how many times a certain advertisement has already been shown, to calculate the effectiveness of a certain advertising campaign, to keep track of data from a previous visit and to share the data collected with the third parties involved, such as the advertisers.

Voice Media Group, LLC is the controller of Personal Information subject to this Supplemental Policy.

Some portions of this Supplemental Policy only apply to consumers who reside in particular U.S. states. In those instances, we have indicated that such language applies only to those residents.Please note that this Supplemental Policy does not apply to individuals with whom we interact in an employment-related context or a business context. For our disclosures applicable to California residents with whom we interact in those contexts, please see our [Employee/Applicant Privacy Notice] and our [Business Contact Privacy Notice].

A. DEFINITIONS

“Personal Information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. Personal Information includes “personal data” (or equivalent terms) as that term is defined by applicable U.S. Privacy Law.
“Service Provider” means a service provider, vendor, contractor, or processor which collects, stores, or otherwise handles Personal Information for us and is bound by certain contractual obligations consistent with applicable laws to use your personal information only as directed by us.
“Third Party” means a person or organization which is not a consumer, Service Provider, or an entity owned or controlled by us.

Other terms used herein that are defined terms under U.S. Privacy Laws shall have the meanings afforded to them by the U.S. Privacy Laws, whether or not capitalized, unless the context indicates otherwise. As there are some variations between such definitions across the U.S. Privacy Laws, the definitions applicable to you are those provided in the statute for the U.S. state in which you are a consumer. For example, if you are a California consumer, terms used in this Supplemental Policy that are defined terms in the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA”), shall have the meanings afforded to them in the CCPA as this Supplemental Policy applies to you.

B. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Identifiers, such as your name, postal address, telephone number, date of birth, IP address, unique online identifier, or similar identifier.

C. PURPOSES FOR COLLECTING, PROCESSING, & DISCLOSING PERSONAL INFORMATION

We collect, process, and disclose, and in the past 12 months, have collected, processed, and disclosed, the categories of Personal Information listed on Section B of this Supplemental Policy, including sensitive personal information, for the following purposes:

To provide our Services and fulfill your requests. We use your information to provide and maintain our Services, to process and fulfill your requests, to communicate with you about your use of our Services or changes to our Services, to respond to your inquiries, and for other customer service and business administration purposes. For example, when you enroll in a newsletter, we may use your personal information to deliver that newsletter to you.
To improve our Services. We use your information to understand and analyze our user base and how you use the Services, to improve and enhance the Services, and to develop new products, services, features, and functionality.
Identification and authentication purposes. We may use your information for identification and authentication purposes. For example, when you enter your account login ID and password to enter one of our registration or login portals, we use your login credentials to authenticate your identity.
Personalization. We use your information to tailor the content and information that we may send or display to you, to offer location customization, and personalized help and instructions, and to otherwise personalize your experience while using the Services. For example, if you allow us to collect geolocation data, we use this information to deliver content that is around your specific location and identify business location/listings around your location.
Marketing and promotional purposes. We may use your information to send you news and newsletters, event updates, and to communicate with you about new features, offers, events, or products, or to otherwise contact you about information we think may be of interest to you. In relation to marketing communications, we may provide you with an “opt in” or “opt-out” mechanism depending on where in the world you are located. An “opt-in” mechanism will provide you the opportunity to positively indicate that you would like or do not object to our sending you such further communications and we will not send you any unless you have “opted-in”. An “opt-out” mechanism will provide you the opportunity to indicate that you do not want us to send you such further communications, and if you “opt-out” we will not send you any.

We may also use your information to display advertisements to you on our site (including to sell advertising space on the Services) and on other unaffiliated websites and services.

Research and reporting. We may use your information to administer surveys and questionnaires (online and offline) for research and reporting purposes to help us better serve individuals by learning more about their needs and the quality of the products, services, and educational information we provide. The survey responses may be utilized to determine the effectiveness of our Services, various types of communications, advertising campaigns and/or promotional activities.
Combining information. We (and our third party business partners on our behalf) may merge, co-mingle, or otherwise combine information, including your personal information, in furtherance of the purposes described above.
To comply with legal obligations. We may use your information to comply with our legal obligations or to exercise or defend our rights or the rights of a third party, including complying with law enforcement or government authority requests and participating in compliance audits.
To protect us and others. We may use your information where we believe it necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities, fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person or to otherwise enforce this Policy, our Terms and Conditions, and the integrity of the Services.

We may also deidentify or anonymize your data in such a way that you may not reasonably be re-identified by us or another party, and we may use this deidentified data for any purpose permitted under applicable law. To the extent we deidentify any data originally based on personal information, we will maintain and use such data in deidentified form and will not attempt to reidentify the data.

We do not use Personal Information for profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects (which means a decision that results in the provision or denial of financial or lending services, housing, insurance, education enrollment or opportunity, criminal justice, employment opportunities, health-care services, or access to essential goods or services).

D. RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Your Personal Information will be held for only so long as it is necessary for the purpose for which it was originally collected, and in accordance with applicable local law. We will retain your Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Supplemental Policy. When assessing retention periods, we first examine whether it is necessary to retain the Personal Information collected and, if retention is required, work to retain the Personal Information for the shortest possible period permissible under applicable law.

To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the Personal Information, the purposes for which we process the Personal Information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

Under the U.S. Privacy Laws, “Sell,” “Sale,” or “Sold” means renting, releasing, or transferring an individual’s Personal Information to a Third Party for money or other valuable consideration, and “Share,” “Shared,” or “Sharing” means transferring an individual’s Personal Information to a Third Party for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising purposes, whether or not for money or other valuable consideration. “Share,” “Shared,” or “Sharing” includes processing of Personal Information for targeted advertising, as the term “targeted advertising” is defined by the U.S. Privacy Laws.

We may Sell and Share, and in the past 12 months have Sold and Shared, each of the categories of Personal Information listed in Section B of this Supplemental Policy to the following categories of Third Parties for analytics, personalization, marketing, and advertising purposes, including cross-context behavioral advertising and targeted advertising:

Social media platforms
Website and mobile application analytics providers
Providers of advertising services
Business partners with whom we jointly market products

We will ask you at least one question, and you must reply by email with the correct answer for each question based on your previous interaction with us. If we still cannot verify your identity as required by applicable laws, we will let you know and may ask additional questions.

Any information we gather through this process will only be used for consumer verification, security procedures, or fraud-prevention. We will delete any verification information as soon as practical after processing your request.

You must provide the authorized agent with written permission to exercise your rights under applicable laws on your behalf.
We may deny a request from an authorized agent on your behalf if the authorized agent does not submit proof that he, she, or it has been authorized by you to act on your behalf, if we request such proof, as permitted by applicable laws.
Even if you use an authorized agent to exercise your rights under applicable laws on your behalf, pursuant to applicable laws, we may still require that you verify your own identity directly to us.

Rights that Do Not Require Verification

Right to Opt-Out of Sale: You have the right to opt out of the Sale of your Personal Information. To opt out of Sales made in the cookie and online tracking technology context, you or your authorized agent may click the “Do Not Sell or Share My Information” link in the footer of our Website, toggle “on” the “Don’t sell my data” button, and click “save preferences.” To opt out of Sales made in other contexts, please email us at privacy@voicemediagroup.com, by calling 888-600-0676, or by clicking here and submitting details regarding your request.

But if we did, you would have the right to opt out of the profiling of data in furtherance of solely automated decisions that have legal effects or similarly significant effects concerning consumers.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you if you exercise any of the rights provided by applicable U.S. Privacy Laws forth in this Privacy Policy. Please note that a legitimate denial of a request for information, deletion, or to opt-out is not discriminatory, nor is charging a fee for excessive or repetitive consumer requests as permitted by applicable laws.

Opt-Out Preference Signals

We recognize opt-out preference signals that we are required to recognize for compliance with applicable law. Where required by U.S. Privacy Laws, we treat such opt-out preference signals as a valid request to opt-out of Sale, Sharing, and processing for purposes of targeted advertising, as applicable, for the browser or device through which the signal is sent and any consumer profile we have associated with that browser or device, including pseudonymous profiles. Further, if we know the identity of the consumer from the opt-out preference signal, we will also treat the opt-out preference signal as a valid request to opt out of sale and sharing for such consumer. Consumers may use opt-out preference signals by downloading or otherwise activating them for use on supported browsers and setting them to send opt-out preference signals to websites they visit. For more information on the GPC and how to use a browser or browser extension incorporating the GPC signal, see https://globalprivacycontrol.org/. However, our Website does not respond to “Do Not Track” signals sent by browsers, which are different from the opt-out preference signals described above.

Appeals

Residents of certain states have the right to appeal a decision we make relating to requests to exercise your rights under applicable U.S. Privacy Laws. This section does not apply to California or Utah consumers, or to residents who reside in other states where the applicable U.S. Privacy Law does not give them the right to appeal controllers’ decisions regarding data subject rights. To appeal a decision, please contact us at privacy@voicemediagroup.com.

How Voice Media Group newsrooms may use artificial intelligence in our journalism

Although artificial intelligence has the potential to improve newsgathering, it also has the potential to harm journalists’ credibility and our relationship with our audience. As a company, Voice Media Group is approaching AI by embracing its use in ways that make sense for us through testing, human verification, and ongoing adaptation.

Our newsrooms will test and utilize approved AI tools to assist for uses such as copyediting, transcribing, translation, research, story ideation, SEO, and when we ask AI questions and employ those responses within a story. Our journalists will not use artificial intelligence to write stories or generate artwork.

As we proceed, the following four core values will guide our work.

Transparency: We will be transparent about usage. When we publish any content that uses artificial intelligence in one of previously mentioned approved ways, we will tell our audience through disclosures as editors feel they are needed. This may be a short tagline in a story, a caption or credit, or, for something more substantial, an editor’s note. When appropriate, we will include the prompts that are fed into the model to generate the material.
Accuracy and human verification: All information generated by artificial intelligence will have human verification.
Audience service: Our work in artificial intelligence will be guided by what will be useful to our readers.
Exploration: With the three previous principles as our foundation, Voice Media Group journalists will embrace exploration and experimentation.

The responsible usage of artificial intelligence is essential for maintaining trust, integrity, and sustainability in Voice Media Group’s operations. For questions or feedback about Voice Media Group’s artificial intelligence policy, please email Editorial Director Chelsey Dequaine-Jerabek at chelsey.dequaine@voicemediagroup.com.
