Allconnect, Bankrate, CNET, MYMove, BestColleges, LonelyPlanet, and The Points Guy are just a few of the brands owned by Red Ventures. The websites, apps, and products made available by Red Ventures will collectively be referred to as the "Services" for the purposes of this Privacy Policy. You should examine each service's unique rule prior to using it, as certain Red Ventures services offer distinct rules regarding privacy (like our services in Brazil or Joint Ventures).

The categories of Personal Information that we may gather for our services are described in this Privacy Policy.

Additional Disclosures.

In response to subpoenas, warrants, or court orders, in accordance with any legal process, or to comply with applicable laws, we may share your private data with law enforcement and other government officials. Your information may be disclosed if it's required for us to defend against legal claims, establish or exercise our freedoms, or conduct an investigation into, stop, or otherwise take action about alleged illegal activity, threats to people or property, or violations of our policies.

Personal information is sold

Your personal information is never traded, rented, or loaned to other parties. However, we may engage in activities that, depending on your privacy preferences, could be construed as a "sale" under certain laws, such as providing social media platforms, analytics providers, and advertising firms with your information from the Identifiers and Internet or network activity data sections of the above chart. For further details on your privacy choices, see the Manage Your Information part of this Policy.

Personal information preservation

We keep your personal information for as long as it is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was obtained, to comply with legal requirements, to settle disputes, to prevent fraud, and to enforce our agreements. Your Personal Information's amount, nature, and sensitivity are taken into account, as well as the risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the purposes for which it is processed, whether those purposes can be achieved through other means, and any applicable legal requirements.

Your personal information may occasionally be anonymized by us so that it cannot be used to identify you, in which case it is no longer considered personal information. After the applicable retention period has passed

Information gathering from young people

Our website and services are aimed at a general audience and not specifically at children because we understand how important it is to preserve children's privacy and safety. Without verifiable parental consent, we never intentionally collect information about kids, as defined by local law or regulation, under the age of 16 or otherwise. In the event that we become aware that a person under the age of 16 has supplied Personal Information through one of our websites, we will make commercially reasonable attempts to delete that information from our records.

The sorts of data that we might obtain directly from you, about you, and/or from other sources, such as third parties, business partners, our affiliates, or publicly accessible sources, are illustrated by the following.

When you use the lead and order forms on our services, we receive information from you. Your name, email address, phone number, billing address, shipping address, and payment data (such as credit card number) may be included in this.

We use your information to carry out tasks related to a contract to provide you with goods or services, which is the reason for the gathering and use of this data.

Some aspects of our Services (such location-based offers) might require confirmation of your location in order to work, therefore if you choose not to share your location data, those services won't be available to you. The device you're using and the way you're connected to the Internet can both affect how precise the location data is. We may periodically gather location data when you use or leave open our Services if you activate location services for them. You might be able to control whether location data is used by our Applications depending on the platform you use to access them (such as Apple's iOS or Google's Android).

Your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (IP) address, domain name, click activity, referring website, and/or a date/time stamp are all pieces of information that we may gather from visitors. We have a business requirement to keep an eye on our networks and website users, which is why we collect and use this data. We might get both individual and collective reports on how these technologies are used. After using our products on one website, these analytics services, including third-party services like Google Analytics, use this information to display advertisements for our products on other websites you visit. These ads might be based on things you do while using the site, like the sites you visit and what you do there.
