the other Personal Information we have collected about you. The collection, use and disclosure of information third parties is governed by the privacy
policies listed on the website where the information was submitted by the user. Third parties may send their own cookies and pixel tags to you, and may
collect information and use it in a way inconsistent with this Privacy Policy. Please carefully review these third party privacy policies to understand how
your information may be collected, used and disclosed by these third parties.
Non-Personally-Identifying Information We Collect.
Non-personally identifying information or “Aggregate Information” is information that, without the aid of additional information, cannot be directly associated with a specific person. Like most website operators, we collect Aggregate Information about your activities online including referring / exit pages and URLs, computer settings, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information through the use of cookies, pixel tags, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, click-through URLs, domain name tracking, and analytics. If you have voluntarily disclosed Personal Information to Bangstyle, some or all of the Aggregate Information may be linked to your Personal Information.
Cookies.
A cookie is a small data file stored on your hard drive that your browser provides to Bangstyle when you visit certain web pages. We use both
session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, the data is temporarily stored on your computer, but once you close your browser the
cookie terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on your hard drive for an extended period of time. This allows us to track your
activities while using the Services and help improve the functionality, navigation and performance of the Services. If you do not want to store cookies on
your computer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, some parts of the Services may not function
properly if you choose not to accept cookies. If you are concerned that you have created a cookie in a previous visit, you can delete cookies that are
already stored on your hard drive by accessing your computer’s cookie file.
Pixel Tags.
Pixel tags (a.k.a. clear gifs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, which allow us to monitor the use of
our Services and to deliver banner advertisements to you about our products and services as you browse the Internet. Pixel tags generally work in
conjunction with cookies, registering when a particular computer visits a particular page. You cannot decline pixel tags; however, if you turn off cookies
the pixel tag will simply detect an anonymous visit. In addition, we use pixel tags in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened
by the recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you do not want
to receive pixel tags you can opt-out of these emails or change the type of email you receive to text only.
Internet Protocol (IP) Address.
Bangstyle’s servers also automatically identify your computer or mobile device by its Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An
IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. Your IP address does not identify you by name,
however, it may reveal your geographic area and your Internet Service Provider. Bangstyle may match your IP address to your Personal Information.
Computer Profiles.
Bangstyle may also collect and accumulate computer profile data which will help us understand and analyze the experience of our
visitors. For example, Bangstyle may collect data relating to the type of browser used, operating system software, screen resolution, color capability,
browser plug-ins, language settings, cookie preferences, search engine keywords and JavaScript enablement.
Click Through URLS.
Bangstyle may send you e-mail messages with a “click-through URL” linked to the content of our Services. When you click onto one of
these URLs, you will pass through our server before arriving at the destination webpage. Bangstyle may track this click-through data to help us determine
subscriber interest in the subject matter and measure the effectiveness of our subscriber communications. You can avoid being tracked simply by not
clicking on any links or images in the e-mail.
Domain Name Tracking.
When you use our Services, we automatically record the name of the domain from which you accessed the Services. Additionally, if you
reach our Services by means of a link from another site, our computers will note the fact that you came to us from that linked site. We may also record the
domain name and URL for the next website you go to after leaving the Services.
Analytics.
Bangstyle may use one or more third party analytics programs, including but not limited to Google Analytics and Flurry, to help analyze how
users utilize the Services. Google Analytics does not collect any Personal Information. Google Analytics uses a single first-party cookie containing an
anonymous identifier to distinguish users and to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior information. The information generated by
the cookie about your use of the Services (including IP address) is transmitted to Google. This information is used to create statistical reports on user
activity for Bangstyle. For more information about Google Analytics, including opt-out options visit the Google Analytics privacy page at
https://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html. The mobile app uses the Flurry analytics to help analyze how users use the mobile app. Flurry is
analogous to Google Analytics and does not collect any Personal Information. For more information about Flurry, including opt-out options visit the Flurry
privacy page at http://www.flurry.com/privacy-policy.html.
