- 1. Information Collected through this Website and How We Use It.
- A. Information You Directly and Voluntarily Provide to Us. If you are a visitor to this Website, we collect information, including any personal information (e.g., name, email address), that you provide to us when you communicate with any of our departments, such as customer service, technical services, or media inquiries, or when filling out the fields on our Contact Us page. This information is used to respond to, and follow up regarding, your inquiries, and provide you with requested information and may be stored into our customer relationship management databases (CRMs) for purposes such as sales and marketing. We may also process your email address and password when logging into our client-facing portal (including any collection of such information via our registration process).
- We may also use the email address that has been provided to us (e.g., through a marketing sign-up list on our Website, by providing your email address to a salesperson, through a social media platform, signing up to an online event) to send you information about the products and services that Cadent offers (or may offer in the future).
- B. Information Automatically Collected Through this Website. We may automatically collect information about you when you use this Website.
- Web logs: Our web servers keep log files that record data every time a device accesses those servers. As such, when you access this Website, we will automatically collect information such as your browser type and version, device and connection information, the Internet Protocol (IP) address used to connect your device to the Internet, and standard web log information. This may be used for security, optimization, or other operational purposes.
- Cookies and Pixel Tags: We may automatically collect information about you on this Website via “cookies.” Cookies are small data files stored within your device’s browser. They are created by pixel tags, which are essentially lines of JavaScript code that will collect information about you in relation to your website visit and also read and write information into the cookie (such as a cookie ID, discussed further below).
- Upon subsequent visits (either within the same browsing session or across separate browsing sessions), these cookies are read by its corresponding pixel tags so that the same browser can be recognized again, either on our Website or on other websites that have the same pixel tag. Cookies that are stored by us are called “first-party cookies” and cookies that are stored by third parties (via their own pixel tags) are called “third-party cookies.”
- In general, cookies and pixel tags are used for purposes such as remembering your log-in preferences, counting open rates and connecting URL clickthroughs from emails to our Website, analytics, development of this Website, providing targeted or interest-based advertising, and understanding the effectiveness of advertising campaigns (e.g., ads measurement, attribution, fraud detection, brand safety). Cookies generally do not identify you directly but, rather, have a pseudonymous “cookie ID” associated with it (e.g., a random alphanumeric string of characters). However, we, and our partners, may connect such cookie IDs with other identifiers to assist in advertising, measurement/attribution, or analytics-related purposes.
- To opt out of some of these cookies, please see Exercising Your Rights below.
- Self-Regulatory Opt-Outs: To opt-out of Google Analytics, please see the following opt-out provided by Google: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. To the extent we use Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter for advertising purposes, please see these links provided by these respective companies to understand some of their related opt-out choices.
- More broadly, the online advertising industry also provides websites from which you may opt out of receiving certain interest-based ads from data partners and other advertising partners that participate in self-regulatory programs. You can access these and learn more about targeted advertising and consumer choice and privacy by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance (including for mobile apps at https://youradchoices.com/appchoices). Please note you must separately opt out in each browser and on each device; if you clear cache or cookies, be sure to reset your preferences as applicable (such as in the browser context).
- We are not responsible to the extent any such opt-outs are not honored by any advertising technology companies, as opt-out preferences provided by such companies are not under our control.
- Browser Settings: Further, you can set your browser to reject cookies or to notify you when you are sent a cookie. However, if you reject all cookies, you may not be able to log in to this Website. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
- Do Not Track: We do not respond to web browser “Do Not Track” signals or other mechanisms at this time, except for Global Privacy Control (discussed further below).
- 2. How We Share Your Information with Third Parties.
- In addition to any sharing described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, Cadent may share your information with third parties in some circumstances as follows:

- B. To investigate or prevent potential or actual fraud, fake traffic, malicious activity, or other similar harmful activity.
- C. In response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security, law enforcement requirements, or otherwise complying with legal process or regulatory investigations (e.g., a subpoena, court order).
- D. Where we believe in good faith it is necessary to comply with applicable law, enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Cadent and its employees or others.
- E. In the event of a merger, dissolution, reorganization, or similar corporate event, or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or any due diligence relating thereto. In such case, the information that we have collected may be transferred to, acquired by, or otherwise controlled by a third party.

This Website may include links to third-party websites, social media services, or other digital properties where you will be able to post comments, stories, reviews, or other personal information (collectively, “Third-Party Websites”). Your use of these Third-Party Websites may result in the collection or sharing of personal information about you by these Third-Party Websites. We have no control over, and, as such, are not responsible for, the privacy practices or the content of any third parties or Third-Party Websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and settings on the Third-Party Websites or otherwise by any such third party to make sure you understand their information collection, use, and sharing practices. - 4. Your Data Rights
This Website is B2B in nature and focuses primarily on the U.S. market. We provide the right to access, deletion, and correction only to residents in California and do so pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We provide the CCPA’s right to opt-out of “sales” and “shares” that occur in the context of this Website to all U.S. residents only, as further discussed in this section. Subject to applicable law, we may further limit or otherwise qualify how and to what extent we provide certain rights in our discretion (e.g., reasonable fees that may be charged in the case of repeat requests within a twelve (12) month period, exceptions where consent may not be required, methods for submitting requests) and reserve the right to make further limitations or qualifications.

Right of Deletion
With respect to the CCPA, you may request that we delete the personal information collected and maintained about you. Note that the deletion of your personal information may be subject to certain exceptions (e.g., required for legal purposes, may infringe our or a third party’s rights, have compelling legitimate interests to keep, an exception set forth under applicable law).
Right to Opt-Out of “Sales” and “Shares”
We “sell”/“share” personal information in connection with this Website by making available identifiers (e.g., cookie ID, email addresses or other contact information), browsing/view/click data, “event” data (desired actions taken on this Website), analytics data, and similar data to third-party adtech and analytics companies for our B2B marketing-related purposes (e.g., “cross-context behavioral advertising,” which is also often referred to as “targeted advertising”) or analytics purposes. For purposes of the CCPA, this personal information would generally correspond to the following categories of personal information under the CCPA: identifiers, commercial information, internet or other network information, electronic, visual, or similar information, and inferences.
We do not have actual knowledge of “selling” or “sharing” any personal information of anyone under eighteen (18) years of age.
Exercising Your Rights
We do not use any information that you submit for your data rights request for any other purpose besides our verification and fraud prevention process and to otherwise resolve your request. A record of your request may be kept for legal compliance purposes.
For Access, Correction, and Deletion Requests: For California residents only, to make requests for access, deletion, or correction, as such rights are described above, please submit a request to us by emailing us at privacy@cadent.tv and specifying (1) what type of request you are making (i.e., access, correction, or deletion) and (2) that you are making such a request pursuant to this Website Privacy Policy.
