Introduction

Fine Digital Reads and our affiliated companies deliver content to you via our Website and email. Beyond content delivery, we operate a marketing and data business. In this role, we gather information about individual consumers, which we collect, share with partners, and sell. This information helps advertisers reach their intended audiences through online advertising, mobile apps, email campaigns, telephone marketing, and other promotional channels. We also provide cross-context behavioral advertising services that track activity across different sites and apps.

This privacy policy tells you about the personal information we gather when you use Fine Digital Reads—both what we collect directly and what you give us—and how we collect, use, keep, and share it. For more about our website itself, check out our terms of service.

We ask that you carefully read through this policy to gain a clear understanding of our policies and practices related to your personal information. If you’re uncomfortable with our policies and practices, please avoid using our website or subscribing to our email list. Your access to or use of this website, or your interaction with our other services, signifies agreement with this privacy policy.

Where This Policy Applies And Third-Party Platforms:

Fine Digital Reads and other websites, even those linked from our site, operate as separate entities with independent privacy practices. We have no control over nor responsibility for their handling of personal information. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any websites you access through links from Fine Digital Reads.

Personal Information Collection Methods:

Information collected through this website includes personal details you provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and information submitted through inquiry forms. We may supplement this information with data obtained from third parties, including affiliates, data brokers, and marketing or advertising partners. Certain third-party data providers are entities that have obtained your personal information from their own services. Additionally, we automatically collect information using cookies and other tracking technologies to perform analytics on our website and to facilitate advertising. More information appears below.

Types of Personal Data:

“Personal information” includes all forms of data or information handled by the Company in connection with its business that identify, describe, relate to, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to an identifiable consumer or household.

You will be asked to provide certain personal information when subscribing to the Fine Digital Reads, including your name, date of birth, street address, e-mail address, and phone number. In addition, we collect information automatically through cookies and similar technologies, including IP address, imprecise geolocation (inferred from your IP address), device ID, date and time information, browsing behavior, and click-through activity. Advertising-related information may also be obtained from data brokers or publicly accessible sources. We only collect information relevant to potential marketing campaigns. See “Your Privacy Rights” below for further details.

Over the past twelve (12) months, and as defined by California law, we have collected various categories of personal information, including identifiers; personal information covered by Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e); protected classification characteristics under California or federal law; internet or other network activity; commercial information; professional or employment-related information; imprecise geolocation data; and inferences drawn from other personal information. Information collected through this site may be sold or shared with third parties and our affiliates for marketing and advertising purposes. We sell and share the information we collect with affiliated companies and third parties for marketing and advertising purposes. If you wish to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information you may do so at any time by visiting here or calling (877) 698-1620.

Sensitive Personal Information

We do not directly collect Sensitive Personal Information, including information related to race or ethnicity, religious beliefs, precise geolocation, LGBTQ+ status, health conditions, financial account details, or citizenship status. However, we may indirectly collect information through automated technologies such as cookies regarding your interactions with web pages, which could suggest interest in sensitive topics or affiliation with certain groups. For instance, visiting pages focused on a particular ethnicity or health-related topic may imply interest in those subjects. We do not draw such inferences ourselves, but our affiliated companies or other third parties with whom we share information may do so. Where state or local laws restrict the collection of Sensitive Personal Information without consent, our affiliates will refrain from making such inferences. We do not collect or use personal information relating to individuals under the age of 18.

How We Use Data

We use the personal information we collect from and about you to send you newsletters or other content that you sign up for and to send you marketing messages by email or by other means. We also share the personal information we collect with our affiliates and third-party companies who may also send you marketing messages by different means. You can opt out at any time by clicking here. Our use of your personal information is called “cross context behavioral advertising” under some states’ laws.

Sharing Personal Information

We sell or share personal information with companies who pay us and with our affiliated companies for use in marketing, including cross context behavioral advertising. We also share personal information with contracted service providers, for advertising, web hosting, fraud detection, analytics, information security, or similar services. When we share data, we put contracts in place with the recipients of our data to ensure appropriate data security measures and compliance with laws. We also share personal information where we are required by law (for example, in response to a warrant or court order), or to protect the health, safety, or rights of any person.

We may disclose personal information to appropriate authorities or third parties where required by law or legal process, including disclosures to law enforcement, courts, regulators, or governmental bodies, as well as to protect the rights, freedoms, or safety of individuals or to enforce our contractual terms, including collection-related matters. Personal information may also be transferred to a successor or purchaser as part of a business sale, merger, bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding.

Personal information may be shared with third parties where you have consented to such sharing, including for purposes presented to you when you submit the information or set out in this privacy policy.

Behavioral Advertising, Data Sharing, and Analytics

Personal information collected at and through this website is shared with unaffiliated companies in order to show you advertisements on this or other sites, and for analysis and reporting related to those ads. These companies (some of whom may be considered data brokers under applicable laws) use cookies and similar technologies to collect information from your browser about web pages you view and ads that you view or click on. We (or they) may combine this personal information with personal information from other sources (including data brokers) and/or share it with third parties for marketing and advertising purposes (this is also known as “cross-context behavioral advertising” under some laws). We (and some of the third parties described in this section) collect your IP address, date and time of your visit to the website and of some of the actions you took here, your Internet Service Provider (ISP), and the browser type and version you use to visit. This information may be combined with personal information from other sources (including data brokers) as described above and used to display advertisements from us or from others through email, social media, websites, apps, direct mail, or by other channels. We also use personal information to understand user activity at this site in order to improve the user experience.

Online Tracking and Personalized Advertising

We use cookies and other similar technologies to: (1) operate this site, (2) perform analytics and tracking to understand and continuously improve the user experience, (3) select and deliver personalized content and advertisements, and (4) monitor your response to advertisements and other communications. Cookies are small computer files containing a unique ID that our server sends to your browser. Cookies enable us to recognize your browser when you visit this or certain other websites. We do not track every site you view on the Internet. You can limit, block, or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. If you use a browser-based “do not track” setting, this may result in an “opt-out cookie” to be set on your browser, which blocks additional data collection. If you later delete this opt-out cookie, automated data collection may resume.

To support Website functionality and analytics, we rely on automated data collection technologies such as cookies, Flash cookies, and web beacons. Cookies are small files stored on your device that allow our Website to operate efficiently. You may block cookies through your browser settings, although this may limit your ability to access certain Website features.

Some Website functions also rely on Flash cookies, which store information related to user preferences and navigation. These cookies are managed through Adobe Flash settings rather than browser controls.

Additionally, our Website and communications may include web beacons or pixels that help us understand how users interact with content, track email engagement, ensure system integrity, and gather Website performance data.

Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Do Not Track Signals

If your browser or device sends a Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal or similar universal opt-out preference signal, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information and will process it automatically without requiring you to create an account or take additional steps. We do not attempt to track all of your online browsing activity. You can control or delete cookies using the settings available in your browser. When you enable a “Do Not Track” preference or GPC signal, we place an opt-out cookie in your browser to prevent certain cookies from being used. If you later delete this cookie or modify your GPC preferences, automated data collection may begin again.

How To Exercise Your Privacy Rights

You may exercise your privacy rights by using the web form here, or by calling (877) 698-1620.

For security reasons, we cannot respond to requests unless we can reasonably verify the requester’s identity or authority. A request must contain sufficient information to confirm who is making the request and enough detail for us to understand and respond to it. Requests may be submitted without creating an account, and information provided will be used exclusively for verification and request processing. We respond to verifiable requests within 45 days of the date we receive them. If an extension is necessary, we will notify you in writing within the initial 45-day period, identifying the reason and the duration of the extension, which shall not exceed 45 additional days.

If a request is denied in accordance with legal requirements and you would like to appeal, or if you have additional privacy-related inquiries, you may contact us using the information below. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may also have the right to raise concerns with a local privacy authority. Exercising your data rights will not result in discrimination.
