6. Links to Third Party Sites

The Site contains links to other websites for the convenience of users in locating information or services that may be of interest.  For example, the Site may provide links to websites or services controlled and operated by third party business partners.  If you access a third-party website from a link on the Site, any information you disclose on that website is not subject to this Policy.  

It is possible that these links may be used by third parties or others to collect personal or other information about you.  However, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of our business partners or other third parties, which may use your information for their own purposes.  Regardless of appearance or shared branding, Catena Media does not endorse and is not responsible for the privacy practices of such websites, advertisers, or third parties or the content of such websites.  Catena Media does not control these third parties’ use of cookies, collection of information, or how they manage such information. It is solely your obligation to review and understand the privacy practices and policies of these other websites, advertisers, and any third parties.

We do not knowingly collect or maintain Personal Data from anyone under the age of 18, unless or except as permitted by law. Any person who provides personal data through the Site represents to us that he or she is 18 years of age or older. If we learn personal data has been collected from a user under 18 years of age on or through the Site, then we will take the appropriate steps to cause this information to be deleted. 

8. California privacy rights

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about Personal Data (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. If applicable, this information would include a list of the categories of the Personal Data that were shared and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared Personal Data in the immediately preceding calendar year.

9. Do-Not-Track Policy

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems 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. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, the Site currently does not respond to DNT browser signals or mechanisms.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to update or modify this Policy at any time. Modifications to this Policy will be posted on the Site and the new Effective Date will be displayed at the top of this Policy.
