This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) is attached to and made a part of the Order Form between ATS and Customer and outlines how we handle personal data collected from or about you in connection with our website (the “Site”) or through the provision of our Services. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Order Form and the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy shall govern. Any breach of the provisions of this Privacy Policy shall also be deemed a breach of the entire Agreement. Please note that we may update this Privacy Policy at any time and at our sole discretion, and the latest version can be found at https://loudspot.com/contracts/privacy/. You are responsible for monitoring this link and being aware at all times of the most up-to-date Privacy Policy. By using the Site or the Services, you acknowledge that you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Order Form.

If you are a customer subject to the privacy laws of California or the European Union, the Data Privacy Addendum available at https://loudspot.com/contracts/dpa (as updated from time to time in our discretion) governs our obligations regarding personal data as defined by those laws.

Personal Data We Collect

Information You Provide: To use our Services and access features on our Site, we may ask you to provide personal data such as contact information and name. The type and amount of information we collect depends on the nature of your interaction with us. For example, if you want to comment on our blog, we may ask for a username. If you purchase Services from us, we may require additional personal and financial information to process transactions. We collect this information only as necessary to fulfill the purpose of your interaction with us. While providing personal data is optional, refusing to do so may prevent you from receiving our Services or engaging in certain activities on the Site. We will never request sensitive personal data (e.g., health information, religious preferences, etc.) from you, and we ask that you refrain from providing such sensitive data to us.
Web Server Logs: Like most websites, we automatically gather certain information when you use the Site. This information may include IP addresses, browser type, ISP, referring or exit pages, viewed files (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data for analyzing aggregate trends and administering the site. We use analytical software to understand this information, and the software may send information to its licensor. Other sites and companies may also use this software. The licensor may aggregate the collected information to identify individuals. We are not responsible for the collection and use of this information.
Cookies: We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to analyze trends, administer the Site, track user movements, and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. You can manage cookie usage at the individual browser level.
Ads: Advertising partners may deliver ads on our Site and use cookies to recognize your computer and compile information about you or other users of your computer. This enables ad networks to deliver targeted advertisements they believe will be of interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers our use of cookies but does not cover advertisers’ use of cookies. Advertisers may use tracking files used by us, combined with other information they hold, to personally identify you. For more information on third-party cookies and instructions on opting out of cookies set by members of the National Advertising Initiative, visit this link. If you are in the European Union, you can visit the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance here.
Information Collected by Our Customers: Our customers may collect personal data through the Services we provide. As their provider, we will not use or disclose personal data except as authorized or directed by the customer in the course of our service provision and as governed by our agreement with them. If you have concerns or wish to exercise your rights regarding personal data controlled by one of our customers, please contact the customer directly.

Your Rights over Personal Data We Control

Upon request, we will provide details of personal data collected by us or under our control. You can change the information maintained about you by logging into your account or submitting a support request. Personal data covered by this Privacy Policy may be deleted upon your request, but it may affect our ability to provide the Services.

However, certain administrative or billing communications essential for your account may not be opt-out able. We retain personal data for as long as reasonably required for the described purposes and as required by law to fulfill our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield

Please note that on July 16, 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union declared the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework invalid for complying with European Union data protection requirements when transferring personal data from the European Union to the United States. Nevertheless, we continue to comply with and maintain certification with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. We commit to subjecting personal data received from the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland to the applicable Privacy Shield Principles. To learn more about the Privacy Shield Frameworks, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield List. We are responsible for processing personal data collected from you and transferred to a third party acting as our agent, in compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles and liability provisions. We are subject to regulatory enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission regarding personal data received or transferred under the Privacy Shield Frameworks. In some situations, we may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including those for national security or law enforcement purposes. If you have an unresolved privacy or data use concern, please contact our U.S.-based third-party dispute resolution provider at this link. You may also invoke binding arbitration under certain conditions, as described on the Privacy Shield website.

Fulfilling or meeting the reason for which you provided the information (e.g., responding to inquiries, processing payments, facilitating orders).

Responding to law enforcement requests and complying with applicable laws, court orders, or governmental regulations.
As described to you when collecting your personal information or as set forth in the California Privacy Laws.

Sharing Personal Information

We disclose all of the above categories of personal information to our third-party service providers, subject to written contracts that describe the purpose of the disclosure, require confidentiality, and prohibit any use of the information except for performing the contract.

Sales of Personal Information

We do not and will not sell your personal information.

Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

The categories of personal information we collected about you.
The categories of sources from which we collected personal information.

You may request deletion of personal information we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. Upon receiving and confirming your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information, unless an exception applies.

To exercise these rights

you can contact us by email at ClientRelations@networkats.com or by phone at (888) 876-0302. We require sufficient information to verify your identity or authority to make the request and a detailed description of your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the California Privacy Laws. This means we will not deny you goods or services, charge different prices or rates, provide a different level or quality of goods or services, or suggest differences based on your exercise of privacy rights. However, we may offer financial incentives permitted by the California Privacy Laws that are reasonably related to the value of your personal information. Participation in such incentives requires your opt-in consent, which you can revoke at any time.
