This Privacy Policy describes the policies and procedures of Clear Inc. [henceforth may be referred to as, “We”, “Our(s)” or “Us”] on the collection, use and disclosure of your information on, http://en.sake-times.com/ (referred to henceforth as, “The Site”), in relation to the services, features, content and/or applications We offer [referred to collectively in relation to The Site as, the “Service(s)”]. We receive information about you, the user (referred to henceforth as either, “you” or “The User”) through various sources, including:
(i) registration with The Site and/or its Services through The User account (referred to henceforth as, “Account”);
(ii) general use of the Services; and
(iii) from third party websites and their related services.
By using The Site you are engaging with its Services, hence consenting to the collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure and other uses of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.
What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?
This Privacy Policy covers the treatment of personally identifiable information (referred to henceforth as, “Personal Information”), and other information described in this policy which is gathered through access and/or use of The Site and Services. This Privacy Policy also covers our treatment of any Personal Information that our business partners share with us or that we share with our business partners.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own or control, including but not limited to any third party websites, services and applications, such as Facebook and other social media services and information gathering/sharing outlets (referred to henceforth as, “Third Party Services”) that you elect to access through the Service or to individuals that we do not manage or employ. While We attempt to facilitate access only to those Third Party Services that share Our respect for your privacy, under no circumstance do We accept any responsibility whatsoever for the content, privacy policies, or practices of those Third Party Services. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any Third Party Services you access.
What Information do we Collect?
The information We gather enables us to personalize, improve and continue to operate the Services. In connection with certain aspects of the Services, We may request, collect, use, share, and/or display some of your Personal Information. We collect the following types of information from our users.
Account Information:
When you create an Account, you will provide information, such as your username, password and email address. You acknowledge that this information may be personal to you, and by creating an Account on the Services and providing Personal Information to Us, you allow others, including Us, to identify you. If you access the Services through Facebook or other Third Party Service credentials, We may automatically collect certain information, such as your name, photo(s), and email address. We will use all information available through Facebook in accordance with Facebook’s policies and your preferences selected through Facebook. We may use your contact information to send you information about Our Services when we feel such information is important or relevant. You may unsubscribe from these messages through your Account settings, although We reserve the right to contact you even if you unsubscribe when in the event We deem it necessary, such as for Account recovery purposes.
User Content:
Some features of the Services allow you to provide content to the Services, such as written comments. All content submitted by you to the Services may be retained by Us indefinitely, even after you terminate your account. We may continue to disclose such content to third parties, as described in this Privacy Policy.
Information Collected Automatically:
We automatically receive and record information from your device or web browser when you interact with the Services. This information may include, your IP address, an ID that We may create and associate with Our content, cookie information, and other details. This information is used for fighting spam/malware, to facilitate collection of data concerning your interaction with the Services (e.g., what links you have clicked on and shared with others, including via email and social media), and to otherwise personalize, improve and continue to operate the Services.
Generally, the Services automatically collect usage information, such as the number and frequency of visitors to the Site or mobile application. We may use this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure. This type of aggregate data enables us and third parties authorized by Us to establish how often individuals use parts of the Services so that We can analyze and improve upon them.
When you visit the Site, We may also collect information about your online activities over time and across third party websites or online services. Because there is not yet a consensus on how companies should respond to web browser-based or other do-not-track (“DNT”) mechanisms, we do not respond to web browser-based DNT signals at this time.
Location Data:
Some of our Services, such as mobile applications, may collect geo-location data to provide location-related functionality. We may link location data to other information We have collected about you. You may stop sharing your location data by adjusting your mobile device’s location services settings. For instruction on changing the relevant settings, please contact your service provider or device manufacturer.
Email Communications:
We may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us. We use this confirmation to improve our Services, including customer service.
Information Collected Using Cookies:
Cookies are pieces of text that may be provided to your computer through your web browser when you access a website. Your browser stores cookies in a manner associated with each website you visit. We use cookies to enable our servers to recognize your web browser and tell Us how and when you visit the Site, share Our content, and otherwise use the Services through the Internet.
We may use cookies and other automated data collection means to identify that your web browser has accessed certain aspects of the Services and may associate that information with your Account if you have one, the device you use to connect to the Services, or email or social media accounts that you use to share our content.
Most browsers have an option for turning off and/or adjusting cookie-related features, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allow you to decide on the acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. We strongly recommend that you leave cookies active, as these will enable you to fully take advantage of the Services their related features.
This Privacy Policy covers our use of cookies only and does not cover the use of cookies by third parties. We do not control when or how third parties place cookies on your computer. For example, third party websites to which a link points may set cookies on your computer.
Information Related to Advertising and the Use of Web Beacons:
To support and enhance the Services, We may serve advertisements, as well as also allow third parties’ advertisements through the Services. These advertisements are sometimes targeted and served to particular users and may come from third party companies called “ad networks.” Ad networks include third party ad servers, ad agencies, ad technology vendors and research firms.
When you visit The Site or use Our mobile applications or other Services, ad networks and other parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these ad networks and other parties.
Advertisements served through the Services may be targeted to users who fit a certain general profile category, which may be inferred from information provided to Us by a user based on the Services usage patterns of particular users, or based on your activity on Third Party Services. We do not provide Personal Information to any ad networks for use other than in connection with the Services.
To increase the effectiveness of ad delivery, we may deliver a file (known as a “web beacon”) from an ad network to you through the Services. Web beacons allow ad networks to provide anonymized, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for Us and for advertisers. Web beacons also enable ad networks to serve targeted advertisements to you when you visit other websites. Because your web browser must request these advertisements and web beacons from the ad network’s servers, these companies can view, edit, or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site.
Aggregate Information:
We collect statistical information about how both unregistered and registered users, collectively, use the Services (referred to henceforth as, “Aggregate Information”). Some of this information is derived from Personal Information.
How, and with Whom is my Information Shared?
The Services are designed to help you share information with others. As a result, some of the information generated through the Services is shared publicly or with third parties.
Public Information about Your Activity on the Services:
Some of your activity on and through the Services is public by default. This may include, but is not limited to, content you have posted or shared publicly on The Site or otherwise through the Services, such as written posts, comments, or other submissions by you to the Site.
Registered users may have some of this information associated with their Accounts. In addition, information concerning the use of the Services (such as what pages they have visited) by unregistered users may be tracked through the use of cookies and other automated data collection means, and stored by Us.
Note that by choosing to provide Personal Information using certain public features of the Services, you make your information publicly available. Users reading such information may use or disclose it to other individuals or entities without our control and without your knowledge, and search engines may index that information. We therefore urge you to think carefully about including any specific information you may deem private in content areas that you utilize, or information that you submit through the Services.
IP Address Information:
While we collect and store IP address information, that information is not made public. We do at times, however, share this information with our partners, service providers and other entities with whom We conduct business, and as otherwise specified in this Privacy Policy.
Information You Elect to Share:
You may access other Third Party Services through the Services, for example by clicking on links to those Third Party Services from within The Site. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of these Third Party Services, and you are responsible for reading and understanding those Third Party Services’ terms and privacy policies. This Privacy Policy only governs information that We collect in connection with the Services.
Aggregate Information:
We share Aggregate Information with Our partners, service providers and other persons with whom We conduct business. We share this type of statistical data so that Our partners can understand how and how often people use Our Services, as well as their services or websites, which facilitates the improvement of both their services, as well as how Our Services interface with them. In addition, these third parties may share with Us information about you that they have independently developed or acquired.
Email Communications with Us:
As part of the Services, you may occasionally receive email and other communications from Us, such as communications relating to your Account. Communications relating to your Account will be sent for purposes important to the Services, such as password recovery. We may use your email address to contact you for editorial purposes, to advise you of any changes to The Site, and to send you messages about Our marketing partners’ products. You may choose not to receive our marketing emails by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails you receive from us. Please note that even if you opt out, we may continue sending you service-related information.
User Profile Information:
User profile information, including your username and other information you enter, may be displayed to other users to facilitate user interaction within the Services. We will not reveal user email addresses to other users of the Site.
Information Shared with Our Service Providers:
We employ and contract with service providers – individuals and entities that perform certain tasks on our behalf. We may need to share Personal Information with our service providers in order to provide products or services to you. We do not authorize our service providers to use Personal Information or other information We share with them beyond what We deem necessary in order for these third parties to assist us.
Information Disclosed Pursuant to Business Transfers:
In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information, including Personal Information, is typically one of the transferred business assets. Moreover, if We, or substantially all of Our assets, were to be acquired, or if we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that would likely be transferred to, or acquired by, a third party. You acknowledge accept that such transfers may occur. Following the transfer of user information in the circumstances described in this paragraph, all inquiries concerning the processing of user information should be directed to the entity to which the information has been transferred.
Information Disclosed for Our Protection and the Protection of Others:
We also reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information as We reasonably believe to be necessary in order to,
(i) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request,
(ii) enforce our Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations hereof,
(iii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues,
(iv) respond to user support requests, or (v) protect the rights, property, and/or safety of our users and the public.
This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and spam/malware prevention. In using The Site and Services, you acknowledge and accept that such information disclosure may take place for any of the reasons outlined above, as well for other reasons or in other circumstances which are unforeseeable and that We deem to be necessary.
Information We Share with Your Consent:
In addition to the ways in which We might share your Personal Information described above, We may share your information with third parties with your consent, by notifying you of the sharing and giving you the opportunity to prevent the sharing of your information.
Is Information About Me Secure?
Your Account information will be protected by a password for your privacy and security. You need to help prevent unauthorized access to your Account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your Account.
We seek to protect Account information to ensure that it is kept private; however, We cannot guarantee the security of any Account information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other unforeseeable factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time.
We otherwise store all of Our information, including your IP address and related information, using techniques reasonably designed to secure the information. We do not guarantee or warrant that such techniques will prevent unauthorized access to information about you that we store, Personal Information or otherwise.
What Information of Mine Can I Access?
If you are a registered user, you can access information associated with your Account by logging into the Services. Registered and unregistered users can access and delete cookies through their web browser settings.
How Can I Delete My Account?
Should you ever decide to delete your Account, you may do so by emailing en.info@sake-times.com. If you terminate your Account, any information you provided will no longer be accessible via your Account. However, given the nature of sharing on the Services, any public activity on your Account prior to deletion will remain stored on Our servers and will remain accessible to the public.
What Choices Do I Have Regarding My Information?
The Privacy Policy also explains the privacy choices you have when using the Services, including with respect to cookies, marketing emails, targeted advertising, location data, and the sharing of your information by Clear Inc.
