Privacy Policy

We take your privacy very seriously. We will only send you emails if you specifically opt in and give us your permission. We strictly adhere to a double opt-in policy, so after you subscribe we’ll send you a confirmation email to make absolutely sure it’s you.

Your email address will NEVER, EVER, EVER be shared with any 3rd parties, and you will receive only the type of content for which you signed up. We know how much our readers care about how their personal information is collected and used, and are committed to careful and thoughtful privacy practices.

We adopt appropriate data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of your contact information, transaction information and data stored on our Site.

Advertising

We may allow third-party companies to serve ads and/or collect certain anonymous information when you visit our web site. These companies are ONLY allowed to use non-personally identifiable information (e.g., browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over, click stream information) during your visit in order to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you. These companies typically use a cookie or third party web beacon to collect this information. To learn more about this behavioral advertising practice or to opt-out of this type of advertising, you can visit http://www.networkadvertising.org.

Some of our ads may be served by Google AdSense. You can review Google’s Advertising Privacy Policy here.

We do not control the content or links that appear on third-party ads and are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our Site. In addition, these sites or services, including their content and links, may be constantly changing. These sites and services may have their own privacy policies and customer service policies. Browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites which have a link to our Site, is subject to that website’s own terms and policies. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.

Affiliate Relationships

The YOLO Blog and Cross Media, Inc. may earn a commission on the sale of linked products. Commission-earning links and display advertising are the primary ways we support The YOLO Blog. The inclusion of advertisements on the site does not imply endorsement of the advertised products or services, and The YOLO Blog shall not be responsible for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the presence of such advertisements on the site.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All of The YOLO Blog’s content is copyrighted and may not be used in any way without prior permission. We are not responsible for the republishing of the content found on this blog on other Web sites or media without our permission. This privacy policy is subject to change without notice.
