Privacy Policy

2/11/15 12:11pm

This Privacy Policy covers all of the sites on the Kinja platform, which is created and owned by Kinja KFT ("Kinja", "us" or "we"). The Privacy Policy governs your access to and use of the services, websites, and applications offered by Kinja (the "Services"). Please read this statement carefully before using or proceeding to access Kinja. Your use of Kinja indicates that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and indicates your agreement to abide by the Terms of Use in effect and to be subject to this policy.

||| 1. Information Collection

Kinja or third parties may collect information from our users at several different points on Kinja.

||| ||| ||| ||| ||| ||| ||| ||| ||| 2. Advertising

||| ||| ||| ||| ||| ||| ||| 3. Business Transitions

In the event Kinja goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of a portion of its assets, users' personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.

||| 4. Contests, Sweepstakes, and Promotions

From time to time you may be able to participate in contests, giveaways, sweepstakes or other similar promotions we or third parties may sponsor. Participation may require sharing your personal information with us or third parties sponsoring the contest, giveaway, sweepstakes or promotion, and you should check the rules to determine how your information will be used and shared with others. Kinja may announce specific rules in connection with any such opportunity, but regardless of whether specific rules are announced, all such opportunities will be controlled by Kinja's "Contest Policies" set forth at Contest Guidelines. Any rules announced at the time of a contest will be in addition to the Contest Policies. In addition, as a condition to receiving any awards or prizes, you may be required to provide additional information, to sign a release, or to authorize the use of certain information about you in marketing materials. If a third party administers the contest, your participation may be subject to additional terms and conditions and that third party's privacy policy. We are not responsible for such third parties. You should carefully review the Contest Policies and these third parties' terms and conditions before deciding whether to participate in a contest publicized through the Service.

||| 5. Legal Disclaimer

Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, Kinja may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on Kinja or affiliates. If we're going to turn over information related to you, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with advance notice, unless we are prohibited from doing so by law or court order.

||| 6. Information Security

Kinja has technical, administrative and physical safeguards in place to help protect against unauthorized access to, use or disclosure of user information we maintain. Under our security practices and policies, access to personally identifiable information is authorized only for those who have a business need for such access, and sensitive records are to be retained only as long as necessary for business or legal needs and destroyed before disposal. Although we work hard to protect personal information that we collect and store, no program is one hundred percent secure and we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use or disclose personal information.

|||If you become aware of a security issue, please email us at legal [at] gawker [dot] com. We will work with you to address any problems.

||| 7. Notification of Changes

Whenever Kinja changes its privacy policy, we will post those changes to this Privacy Policy page, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. The prior version of our Privacy Policy is found here (the version before that is found here) and more on why we've made the most recent changes here. You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any changes to this agreement.

||| 8. Contact Information

If you have any questions or suggestions regarding our privacy policy, please contact the legal [at] gawker [dot] com, or by mail to Legal Department, 210 Elizabeth Street, Fourth Floor, New York, NY 10012.
