These third-parties may use your personal information only as authorized.

We engage third-party advertisement partners and advertising networks to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and provide analytics services to us. Therefore, when you use our website, we may share information that we collect from you, such as your email (in hashed form), IP address or information about your browser or operating system, with our identity partners/service providers. These partners return an online identification code that we may store in our first-party cookie for our use in online, in-app, and cross-channel advertising and it may be shared with advertising companies to enable interest-based and targeted advertising. To opt out of this use, please click here.

We also use third-party advertising companies and advertising networks to provide augmented website functionality and do data analyses in aggregate. These, and other companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. They may do this by using Cookies and web beacons, among other things. (See, e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_beacons.) Some third-parties might use third party cookies in the ads served on the Website. When users visit the Website and either view or click on an ad, a cookie may be dropped on that end user’s browser. The data gathered from these Cookies will be used to help better serve and manage ads on our Website.

We may use Google to serve ads on Listverse. Google uses cookies or unique device identifiers, in combination with their own data, to show you ads based on your visit to listverse.com and other websites. You can opt out of the use of the Google cookie by visiting the related Google privacy policy Although we may attempt to contractually limit what third-party advertising companies and networks do, we have no ability to monitor or control what they do. Although we attempt to contractually require that these companies shall always allow the end-user (you) to easily and completely uninstall any means of tracking the end-user without regenerating the means of such tracking, we cannot assure that this will occur and, therefore, you consent to these types of practices. If you would like more information about what many advertising companies and advertising networks do and to know some of your choices about not having this information used by the companies that are members of the Network Advertising Initiative, please visit https://thenai.org/opt-out/.

Third-party platforms and social media networks

If you have enabled features or functionality that connect the Services to a third-party platform or social media network (such as by connecting your account with a third-party to the Services or sharing content via a third-party platform), we may disclose the personal information that you authorized us to share and the data generated by Cookies, web beacons, logs and the aggregated information. We may share information with consultants, data processors, service providers, and other trusted businesses that enable our digital advertising business-to-business activities. Such third-party entities may be obligated to use your personally identifiable information to provide the services to us. We do not control the third-party’s use of your personal information.

For compliance, fraud prevention and safety

We may share your personal information for the compliance, fraud prevention and safety purposes described above including disclosing information to companies, organizations, or individuals outside of Listverse if required by any applicable law or legal process, or if we believe your actions are inconsistent with our user agreements or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Listverse or others.

Government Requests

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this policy, we may preserve or disclose your information if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, or legal request (including upon receipt of what we believe may be a valid subpoena, whether issued by a Court that has jurisdiction over Listverse or not) or to protect the safety, property, or rights of Listverse or others. Please note that Listverse reserves the right to assert that only the Federal District Court of the Central District of California, and the Los Angeles County Superior Court, have jurisdiction, and subpoenas from outside those jurisdictions must be “domesticated,” though we are not obligated to do so. However, nothing in this policy is intended to limit any legal defenses or objections that you may have to a third-party or government request to disclose your information.

The Services are not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, anyone under the age of 16.

If we learn that we have collected personal information of a child without the consent of the child’s parent or guardian, we will immediately delete it. We encourage parents with concerns to contact us at [email protected].

Changes to this Privacy Policy

At Listverse we are constantly working to improve the user experience. These changes, along with the ever-changing nature of the Internet, may cause Listverser to amend this Privacy Policy, by posting the amended version on the Services and indicating the effective date of the amended version. We may announce any material changes to this Privacy Policy through the Service and/or via email if we have your email address. In all cases, your continued use of the Services after the posting of any modified Privacy Policy indicates your assent to the amended Privacy Policy. If any modification is unacceptable to you, you shall cease using this Website. If you do not cease using this Website, you will be deemed to have accepted the change(s). In all cases, use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected.

International Data Transfers

Listverse Limited and its parent company Ranker, Inc., are headquartered in the United States. The information you enter on our Website or otherwise provided to Listverse may be transferred outside your state, province, or country where privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your state, province, or country.

Notice to European Users

The information provided in this section applies only to individuals in the European Economic Area and United Kingdom (collectively, “Europe”).

Personal information

References to “personal information” in this Privacy Policy are equivalent to “personal data” governed by European data protection legislation. The information you enter on our Website or otherwise provided to Listverse may be transferred outside the European Economic Area where privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your European Economic Area.

In particular, you are advised that the United States of America uses a sectoral model of privacy protection that relies on a mix of legislation, governmental regulation, and self-regulation. Article 26 of the European Union’s Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC, 1995 O.J. (L 281) 31) allows for transfer of personal data from the European Union to a third country if the individual has unambiguously given his consent to the transfer of personal information, regardless of the third country’s level of protection. By agreeing to the terms of use and this privacy policy, you consent to the transfer of all such information to the United States of America which may not offer an equivalent level of protection to that required in the European Union and to the processing of that information by Listverse on its servers located in the United States of America as described in this Privacy Policy.

In addition, we engage third-party advertisement partners and advertising networks to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and provide analytics services to us. Therefore, when you enter your email address on our website (either to log in, or to sign up to a newsletter, or similar) or when you use our app, we may share personal data or other information that we collect from you, such as your email (in hashed, pseudonymous form), mobile advertising identifier, IP address, or information about your browser or operating system, with our partner LiveRamp and its group companies, acting as joint controllers. LiveRamp may use this information to create an online identification code for the purpose of recognizing you on your devices. This code does not contain any of your identifiable personal data and will not be used by LiveRamp to re-identify you. We place this code in our first party cookie or a LiveRamp cookie and allow it to be used for online and cross-channel advertising. It may be shared with our advertising partners and other third-party advertising companies globally for the purpose of enabling interest-based content or targeted advertising throughout your online experience (e.g. web, email, connected devices, and in-app, etc.). Detailed information on LiveRamp’s data processing activities is available in LiveRamp’s Privacy Policy and opt-out here: Services Privacy Policy. You have the right to withdraw your consent or opt-out to the processing of your personal data at any time.

Controller and Representative

Listverse Limited / Ranker, Inc., is the controller of your personal information covered by this Privacy Policy for purposes of European data protection legislation.

Legal bases for processing

The legal bases of our processing of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy will depend on the type of personal information and the specific context in which we process it. However, the legal bases we typically rely on are set out in the table below. We rely on our legitimate interests as our legal basis only where those interests are not overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or our processing is otherwise required or permitted by law). If you have questions about the legal basis of how we process your personal information, contact us at [email protected].

Use for new purposes

We may use your personal information for reasons not described in this Privacy Policy where permitted by law and the reason is compatible with the purpose for which we collected it. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the applicable legal basis.

Sensitive personal information

We ask that you not provide us with any sensitive personal information (e.g. social security number, government-issued identification, payment card information, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background or trade union membership) on or through the Services, or otherwise to us.

Retention

We retain personal information where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested; to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements; to establish or defend legal claims; or for fraud prevention). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Your rights

European data protection laws give you certain rights regarding your personal information. If you are located within Europe, you may ask us to take the following actions in relation to your personal information that we hold:

• Access: Provide you with information about how we process your personal information and give you access to your personal information.
• Correct: Update or correct inaccuracies in your personal information.
• Delete: Delete your personal information.
• Transfer: Transfer a machine-readable copy of your personal information to you or a third-party of your choice.
• Restrict: Restrict the processing of your personal information.
• Object: Object to our reliance on our legitimate interests as the basis of our processing of your personal information that impacts your rights.

Please email [email protected] to submit these requests. We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request. Applicable law may require or permit us to decline your request. If we decline your request, we will tell you why, subject to legal restrictions. If you would like to submit a complaint about our use of your personal information or our response to your requests regarding your personal information, you may email [email protected] or submit a complaint to the data protection regulator in your jurisdiction. You can find your data protection regulator here.

Cross-Border Data Transfer

If we transfer your personal information from the European Economic Area to a country outside of it and are required to apply additional safeguards to your personal information under European data protection legislation, we will do so. Please email [email protected] for further information about any such transfers or the specific safeguards applied.
