The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include:

  • Cookies (or browser cookies). A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer or device. You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our website. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our website.

Cookies placed on your browsing device by a third party can be managed through your browser (as described above) or by checking the third party’s website for more information about cookie management and how to “opt-out” of receiving cookies from them. For example, we use Google analytics, a web analytics service. You can prevent the storage of data relating to your use of the website and created by Google via the cookie (including your IP address), as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout (requires you to install a browser add-on).

  • Flash Cookies. Certain features of our website may use local stored objects (or Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on our website. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies.
  • Web Beacons. Pages of our website may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain content and verifying system and server integrity).

We do not collect personal information automatically, but we may tie this information to personal information about you that we collect from other sources or you provide to us.


How We Use Your Information

We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any personal information:

  • to present our website and its contents to you;
  • to fulfill any other purpose for which you provide it;
  • to notify you about material changes to this Privacy Policy; and
  • in any other way we may describe when you provide the information.


Disclosure of Your Information

We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any individual, without restriction.

We may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide as described in this privacy policy:

  • to our agents and representatives assisting Chaney Enterprises with our marketing efforts, to fulfill the purpose for which you provided the information;
  • to our vendors and service providers so they can provide us with support services such as data analytics, website hosting, technical support, and information security and technology services;
  • to our subsidiaries and affiliates;
  • to a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Chaney Enterprises’ assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by Chaney Enterprises about our website users is among the assets transferred;
  • to generally fulfill the purpose for which you provide it; and
  • for any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information.

For instance, Chaney Enterprises:

  • has implemented and uses Display Advertising from Google. Visitors can opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customize Google Display Network ads using the Ads Preferences Manager [google.com]; and
  • works with the Google Admob advertising network. Please refer to their privacy policy for more information: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners [google.com].

We may also disclose your personal information:

  • to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request; and
  • to enforce or apply our Terms.


Your Choices About How We Collect Your Information

You can adjust your browser settings to enable you to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you will not be able to use all portions or all functionalities of our website.

Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is currently no industry consensus as to what site and app operators should do with regard to these signals. Accordingly, unless and until the law is interpreted to require us to do so, we do not monitor or take action with respect to “Do Not Track” signals. For more information on “Do Not Track,” visit https://www.allaboutdnt.com.


Information Retention Policy

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to meet our obligations to you, and for such longer period as may be in our legitimate interests or to comply with our legal obligations. We may also retain data from which you cannot directly be identified (for example, data stored against a randomly-generated identifier) so we know the data relates to a single user, but we cannot tell who that user is. We may use this kind of data for research purposes and to help us develop and improve our website; we take appropriate measures to ensure you cannot be re-identified from this data.


Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the website.


Changes to Our Privacy Policy

Our privacy policy is periodically reviewed and amended as necessary, and may change as Chaney Enterprises updates its website or related content and functionality, or as may be needed to comply with applicable law. Chaney Enterprises also encourages you to review this privacy policy periodically to check for any changes.
