SHOTS PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: June 24, 2020
Shots Podcast Network (“Shots,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how Shots collects, uses, discloses, and secures information about you through our website at shots.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you consent to the processing of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy, now and as amended by us.
In providing the Site, we collect information about individual consumers (“you” or “End User”) to, among other things, provide you with access to our e-commerce platform that allows fans to purchase merchandise relating to artists and influencers they admire. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the Shots Terms of Service. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meaning given to them in the Shots Terms of Service.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Shots collects information from and about users of the Site in a variety of ways. This information includes:
Information You Provide. We collect information you provide when you use the Site or otherwise communicate with us. If you register for an account with us, we will collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, and phone number. We will also collect any other information you submit through your use of the Site or when you otherwise communicate with us. For example, the information you provide can include your delivery address if you may a purchase from our Site or your messaging history and any information included in your messages that you send to us, including through your communications with our customer-support team.
Device and Usage Information. Like most online services, we automatically receive standard technical information when you interact with our Site including browser and device information such as unique device identifiers, mobile phone carrier, internet protocol (IP) addresses (which may identify your general geographic location), browser types, and the date and time of your interactions. We also receive information about your interactions with our Site, such as which website pages you visited and how much time was spent on the page.
We may collect this information using cookies or similar technologies. Cookies are pieces of information that are stored by your browser on the hard drive or memory of your device. Cookies enable us to personalize your experience on the Site, maintain a persistent session, passively collect demographic information, and monitor advertisements and other activities. Our Site may use different kinds of cookies and other types of local storage (such as browser-based or plugin-based local storage). We may also use software development kits (known as SDKs) or mobile advertising identifiers (for example, an “IDFA” on Apple mobile devices or an “Advertising ID” on Android mobile devices), which function similarly to cookies on mobile devices. You may reset your IDFA or Advertising ID in the settings on your mobile device.
If you do not want the Service to collect information through the use of cookies, your browser may allow you to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies and restrict or disable certain cookies. Each browser is different, so you should check your browser’s “Help” menu to learn how to change your cookie preferences. Please be aware that if you disable or reject cookies, some features of the Site may not work properly.
On your mobile device, you may also have a “Limit Ad Tracking” setting (on iOS devices) or a setting to “Opt out of Interest-Based Ads” (on Android) which allows you to limit the use of information about your use of apps for purposes of serving ads targeted to your interests. Note that even if you opt out using these mechanisms, you may still receive advertisements when using the Site.
Do Not Track. Currently, the Site is not designed to respond to “Do Not Track” signals sent from your browser. For more information more about “Do Not Track,” please visit www.allaboutdnt.org.
Information from Other Sources. We may obtain information from third parties and sources other than the Service, such as our partners and advertisers.
