3. How We Disclose Your Personal Information
We may share your Personal Information among YipTV affiliates for their own business
purposes, including for their advertising, marketing, research, and other business
purposes. We may also share your Personal Information with the following categories
of third parties outside YipTV:
Business Partners: We may share certain Personal Information with third parties with
whom we do business (our “Business Partners”). These Business Partners may include:
o Partners that operate YipTV-branded services: We may offer certain YipTV-branded
services in partnership with third parties. If you enroll or otherwise participate in these

that help us operate that service. These third parties may use your Personal Information
to operate the service, as well as for their own business purposes.
o Advertisers and advertising networks: We may share information about how you use
the YipTV Services and interact with our content, advertisers, and advertising networks.
These third parties may use such information for their own business purposes, such as
improving their own services or products, or better tailoring their advertisements on the
YipTV Services and/or on third party platforms. These third parties may also combine
information received from us with information they collect directly from or about you.
o Sponsors and co-sponsors: From time to time, we may conduct events, sweepstakes,
contests, giveaways and/or other promotions with one or more third-party sponsors or
co-sponsors. If you participate in any such event or promotion, the Personal Information
we collect from you in the context of your participation may be shared with our
sponsors or co-sponsors. Our sponsors or co-sponsors may use your Personal
Information for their own marketing and advertising purposes.
Service Providers: We may share your Personal Information with vendors and
contractors who perform a service for us (“Service Providers”). Examples of the types
of services we engage Service Providers to perform include: transaction and payment
processing; order fulfillment; contest/sweepstakes administration and prize fulfillment;
data research and analysis; data collection, processing, cleansing, enrichment and
storage; data security, hosting and technical support; and marketing and advertising
support). Generally, we require that our Service Providers use your Personal Information
shared by us solely for the purposes of performing services for us and that they
maintain the confidentiality, security and integrity of such Personal Information.
Market research companies: YipTV video services may feature Nielsen and other
proprietary measurement software that contributes to market research, like the
Nielsen’s TV Ratings. We may share information about the content you view on the
YipTV Services with Nielsen and other third-party market research companies.
As required by law and to protect our rights: We may share your Personal Information
outside of YipTV if such sharing is required by law or, in our good faith belief, sharing is
reasonably necessary to: comply with legal process (including a court order or
subpoena); cooperate with law enforcement; enforce this Privacy Policy, our Terms of
Use, or other applicable terms and policies; respond to an emergency; or protect the
rights, property or safety of YipTV, our users, or the public.
Sale or transfer of all or part of our business: We may transfer your Personal
Information as part of our assets if we (or parts of our businesses) are, sold or
transferred to, merged with, or acquired by, a third party. Upon such transfer, the privacy
policy of the acquiring entity may govern the use of your Personal Information.
We may also share your Personal Information with third parties outside YipTV with your
consent, as we describe at the time we collect your Personal Information, or as
otherwise permitted by law.
4. Cookies and Online Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and other online tracking technologies to facilitate and customize your
experience on the YipTV Services.
A “cookie” is a small text file that is stored on your computer that contains information
about you and your use of digital services. We use cookies to save you time while using
the YipTV Service, remind us who you are, and collect information about how you use
the YipTV Service, such as which pages you visited and what links you clicked on. For
example, we use Google Analytics to help us understand how users engage with the
Service. Google Analytics uses cookies to track your interactions with the YipTV Service,
then collects that information and reports it to us. This information helps us improve the
YipTV Service so that we can better serve you.
We also use cookies to track and target your interests in order to provide a customized
and user-friendly experience and deliver tailored advertisements. For example, we
use Google Ads to serve ads (including interest-based ads) on the YipTV Services.
Setting your cookie preferences: Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you
may be able to modify your browser settings to decline cookies or notify you when you
are sent a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. You can
also choose to routinely and manually delete the cookies stored in your computer. If you
choose to disable or reject cookies, you may still access the YipTV Services, but some
service features of the YipTV Services may become unusable or may not function
properly. Note that if you erase or otherwise alter your browser's cookie file (including
upgrading certain browsers), you may need to opt out again.
Other types of online tracking technologies that may be used on the YipTV Services
include:
Flash cookies: From time to time, we may use Flash cookies or similar technology for
tracking purposes, saving preferences or when serving and managing ads on the YipTV
Services. Flash cookies cannot be rejected, disabled, turned off, opted out, or deleted in
the same way as regular cookies such as HTML cookies. Flash cookies may remain on
your computer even after you have rejected, disabled, opted out, or deleted regular
cookies. For information on Flash Cookies and how to manage and remove them,
visit Adobe or Macromedia.
Pixel tags and web beacons: We may use other industry standard technologies like pixel
tags and web beacons to track your use of the YipTV Services. Pixel tags and web
beacons are tiny graphic images placed on certain pages on the YipTV Services, or in
our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action.
When you access these pages or open or click an email, pixel tags and web beacons
generate a non-personally identifiable notice of that action. Pixel tags allow us to
measure and improve our understanding of visitor traffic and behavior on the YipTV
services, as well as give us a way to measure our promotions and performance.
Third party applications: The YipTV Services enable and/or contain links to certain third-
party applications (e.g., Facebook "Like" button and other social media plug-ins, tools
and APIs) to enhance your experience on the YipTV Services. When you interact with a
third-party functionality, that third-party may collect information about your use of the
YipTV Services. Prior to using any third-party applications, you should review consult
their privacy notices.
Do-Not-Track Disclosures: Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature
(“DNT”) that signals to the websites that you visit that you do not want to have your
activity tracked. Many websites and applications, including the YipTV Services, do not
respond to DNT signals because such signals are not yet uniform. As a result, we and
third parties may keep track of your browsing activities, including over time and across
different sites and services.
5. Interest-Based Advertising
We may use your Personal Information to show to you interest-based ads. Interest-
based ads are ads that are potentially relevant or tailored to your interests. For example,
sometimes we show interest-based ads inside or alongside the content you view on the
YipTV Services.
We and our Service Providers infer what might interest you based on the topics or
subject matters of the content you view or have previously viewed. For example, if your
prior viewing habits on the YipTV Services suggest that you are a fan of a particular
television show or topic, you may see more ads related to that show or topic while on
the YipTV Service. If you frequently view sports-related content on the YipTV Service, we
may infer that you are interested in sports and show you more sports-related ads.
For more information about interest-based advertising, visit the Network Advertising
Initiative and/or the Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. Note
that we may collect information concerning your online activities over time, across your
devices, and as you navigate to different websites, including third-party websites.
To learn how to communicate your advertising preferences, see “Your Rights and
Choices” below.
6. Data Security
Protecting the security of your Personal Information is important to us. Unfortunately,
no data transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result,
while we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee or warrant
the security of any information you provide or us we collect about you.
We urge you to keep your Personal Information (including your username and password,
if any) in a safe place and not to share it with anyone. If you have an account with us,
remember to sign off your account and close your browser window when you have
finished using the YipTV Services. This will help prevent unauthorized users from
accessing your account, especially if you are sharing a computer with someone else or
are using a computer in a public place, such as a library.
7. Links to Third Party Websites, Services or Products
The YipTV Services may contain links to websites, services, or products offered by third
parties outside YipTV. For example, the YipTV Services may display third-party
advertisements, and clicking on such advertisements will take you to the websites of
those advertisers. We do not control these third-party websites, services, or products.
When you navigate away from the YipTV Services, this Privacy Policy will no longer
apply, and any information that the third party collects from or about you will be
governed by the privacy policies and practices of that third party.
You should always review and understand the privacy policies and practices of third
parties before disclosing any Personal Information to those third parties.
8. Other YipTV Services
YipTV may post or link to a different privacy policy that applies to that specific website,
application or service provided by YipTV. If you use a website, application or service that
links to a different privacy policy, that privacy policy will control.
9. Note to International Users
The YipTV Services are intended for individuals located in the United States. If you are
located outside of the United States and use the YipTV Services or otherwise provide us
with your Personal Information, you understand that any Personal Information that you
provide or that we collect from you will be transferred to and processed in the United

Partners.

using the YipTV Services or otherwise providing us with your Personal Information, you
agree that you fully understand and consent to: (i) the transfer of your Personal
Information to the United States; and (ii) the processing of your Personal Information in

knowingly permit children under age 13 to provide Personal Information on any of the
YipTV Services, nor do we otherwise knowingly collect Personal Information from or
about children under age 13.
If you are a parent or legal guardian, we urge you to participate in your child's digital
activities and to use parental control or other filtering technology to supervise your
child's access to the Internet.
11. Your Rights and Choices
You have certain rights and choices with regard to the Personal Information we
maintain about you. We will process your request as set forth below, however, our
record retention policies and legal obligations may require us to maintain some of your

Account information: You may access, update and delete your account information (if
any) and your Personal Information contained therein by logging into your account.
Opt out of YipTV’s marketing and promotional communications: How to opt out of

number provided to you in the text message.
You can opt out of both email and mobile marketing at the same time by sending your
request to the contact information set forth in “Contact Us” (please indicate “Privacy
Opt-Out” in the subject line of your request). If you opt out of marketing and promotional
communications, you may still receive communications that are transactional,
administrative or relationship in nature.

such other time period as required by applicable law).
Your opt-out will not stop continued marketing and advertising uses of your information

of interest-based advertising does not opt you out of being served advertising on the
YipTV Services. You will continue to receive generic ads while visiting the YipTV
Services.
Opt out of Nielsen measurement: You can opt out of market research by Neilson
measurement by vising Nielsen’s Digital Measurement Privacy Statement.

by you to act on their behalf.
