1. SCOPE AND APPLICATION
Fox Broadcasting Company, LLC ("FOX" or "we"), which operates the Foxflash.com website, wants you to be familiar with how we collect, use and disclose information from and about you. This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with our business-to-business website and related services (the "FOX Flash B2B Services"). California residents, please see the California Consumer Privacy Act Notice in Section 8 below. By providing personal information to us and/or using the FOX Flash B2B Services, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. A list of our affiliated companies ("FOX Affiliates") is available at https://FoxCorporation.com/
The FOX Flash B2B Services are for a business-to-business audience, are not targeted to children, and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age.
This Privacy Policy applies to all users, including both those who use the FOX Flash B2B Services without being registered with or subscribing to a FOX Flash B2B Service and those who have registered with or subscribed to one or more FOX Flash B2B Services. This Privacy Policy applies to FOX’s collection and use of your personal information (i.e., information that identifies a specific person, such as full name or email address). It also describes generally FOX’s practices for handling non-personal information (for example, interests, demographics and services usage).
FOX and our service providers may collect the following information from and about you:
Registration Information is the information you submit to register for a FOX Flash B2B Service, for example, to create an account, post comments, receive a newsletter, or enter a contest or sweepstakes. Registration Information may include, for example, name, phone number, job title, company affiliation, email and physical work address and gender.
Public Information and Posts consist of comments or content that you post to the FOX Flash B2B Services and the information about you that accompanies those posts or content, which may include a name, user name, comments, likes, status, profile information and picture. Public Information and Posts are always public, which means they are available to everyone and may be displayed in search results on external search engines.
Activity Information. When you access and interact with the FOX Flash B2B Services, FOX and its service providers may collect certain information about those visits. For example, in order to permit your connection to the FOX Flash B2B Services, our servers receive and record information about your computer, device, and browser, including potentially your IP address, browser type, and other software or hardware information. If you access the FOX Flash B2B Services from a mobile or other device, we may collect a unique device identifier assigned to that device, geolocation data (including your precise location), or other transactional information for that device.
Cookies and other tracking technologies (such as browser cookies, pixels, beacons, and local storage and other mechanisms) use various approaches to collect and store data. Some of these technologies store data in the browser or on your device. Other technologies may use network-related or other information to recognize your device (e.g., IP address). FOX’s websites, apps and other services use these technologies, for example, when you first request a web page and then store the data on your computer or other device so the website or app can access information when you make subsequent requests for pages from that service. These technologies may also be used to collect and store information about your usage of the FOX Flash B2B Services, such as pages you have visited, search history, and the video and other content you have viewed.
Other parties that support the FOX Flash B2B Services by serving advertisements or providing services, such as tracking aggregate FOX Flash B2B Services usage statistics, may also use these technologies to collect similar information when you use the FOX Flash B2B Services or other parties’ services. Those parties may also use these technologies, along with activity information they collect, to recognize you across the devices you use, such as a mobile device and a laptop or other computer. FOX does not control these technologies and their use is governed by the privacy policies of the parties using such technologies. For more information about third-party advertising networks and similar entities that use these technologies, including your choices with respect to them, see the section entitled "To deliver relevant advertisements," below.
Your browser may be initially set to accept cookies, but you can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, and to block cookies altogether.
