Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when visiting a website. We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information when you interact with our Services. Some online tracking technologies help us maintain the security of our Services and your account; prevent crashes; fix bugs; save your preferences and assist with basic site functions.
We also permit third parties and service providers to use online tracking technologies on our Services for analytics and advertising, including to help manage and display advertisements; to tailer advertisements to your interests; or to send abandoned shopping cart reminders (depending on your communication preferences). The third parties and service providers use their technology to provide advertising about our products and services tailored to your interests which may appear either on our Services or on other websites.
To the extent that these online tracking technologies are deemed to be a “sale| and/or “sharing” (which includes targeted advertising, as defined under applicable laws) under applicable U.S. state laws, you can opt out of these online tracking technologies by submitting a request as described below under the section DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?
Additional information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies can be found in our Cookie Policy: www.digitalmediaexchange.net/cookies
If you choose to register or log in to our Services using a social media account, we may have access to certain information about you. Our Services offer you the ability to register and log in using your third-party social media account credentials and details. Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile information that we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will include your name, email address, friends list, and profile information, as well as other information you choose to make public on the social media platform you used to register or log in.
We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are described in our Privacy Policy or that are otherwise made clear to you on the relevant Services. Please note that we do not control, nor are we responsible for other uses of your personal information by your third-party social media provider. We strongly recommend that you review their Privacy Policies to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information, and how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.
We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purpose set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in our Privacy Policy will require us to keep your personal information for longer than six (6) months past the termination of the user’s account.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (i.e., your information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.
We strive to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures and protocols. We have implemented reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational security measures and protocols designed to protect the security of any personal information that we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or data storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat or bypass our security and improperly and unlawfully collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services from within a secure environment.
We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 18 years of age, nor do we knowingly sell such personal information. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records.
If you become aware of any data that we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at privacy@digitalmediaexchange.net.
Depending on your state of residence in the US or in some regions, such as the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), Switzerland, and Canada, you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time, depending on your country, province, or state of residence.
In some regions (like the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; (iv) if applicable, to data portability; and (v) not to be subject to automated decision-making.

If you are located in the EEA or UK and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your Member State Data Protection Authority or UK Data Protection Authority.
If you are located in Switzerland, you may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.
Withdrawing Your Consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE - See below.
You may also update your personal preferences.

You will then be removed from the marketing lists. However, we may still communicate with you - for example, to send you service-related messages that are necessary for the administration and use of your account, to respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing purposes.
If you would at any time like to review or change the information in your account or terminate your account, you can:
Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our active databases. However, we may retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our legal terms and/or comply with applicable legal requirements.
Cookies & Similar Technologies:
Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Services.For further information, please see our Cookie Policy: www.digitalmediaexchange.net/cookies
If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at privacy@digitalmediaexchange.net or through our Contact Form.
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Notice.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT signals. Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time.
If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, or Virginia, you may have the right to request access to and receive details about the personal information we maintain about you and how we have processed it, correct inaccuracies, get a copy of, or delete your personal information. You may also have the right to withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal information. These rights may be limited in some circumstances by applicable law. Additional information is provided below.
