    • 3. How We Disclose Your Personal Information

    We may share your Personal Information among Univision affiliates for their own business purposes, including for their advertising, marketing, research and other business purposes. We may also share your Personal Information with the following categories of third parties outside Univision:

  • Business Partners: We may share certain Personal Information with third parties with whom we do business (our “Business Partners”). These Business Partners may include:
    1. Partners that operate Univision-branded services: We may offer certain Univision-branded services in partnership with third parties. If you enroll or otherwise participate in these Univision-branded services, we may share your Personal Information with the third parties that help us operate that service. These third parties may use your Personal Information to operate the service, as well as for their own business purposes.
    2. Advertisers and advertising networks: We may share information about how you use the Univision Services and interact with our content, advertisers and advertising networks. These third parties may use such information for their own business purposes, such as improving their own services or products, or better tailoring their advertisements on the Univision Services and/or on third party platforms. These third parties may also combine information received from us with information they collect directly from or about you.
    3. Sponsors and co-sponsors: From time to time we may conduct events, sweepstakes, contests, giveaways and/or other promotions with one or more third-party sponsors or co-sponsors. If you participate in any such event or promotion, the Personal Information we collect from you in the context of your participation may be shared with our sponsors or co-sponsors. Our sponsors or co-sponsors may use your Personal Information for their own marketing and advertising purposes.
  • Service Providers: We may share your Personal Information with vendors and contractors who perform a service for us (“Service Providers”). Examples of the types of services we engage Service Providers to perform include: transaction and payment processing; order fulfillment; contest/sweepstakes administration and prize fulfillment; data research and analysis; data collection, processing, cleansing, enrichment and storage; data security, hosting and technical support; and marketing and advertising support). Generally, we require that our Service Providers use your Personal Information shared by us solely for the purposes of performing services for us and that they maintain the confidentiality, security and integrity of such Personal Information.
  • Market research companies: Univision video services may feature Nielsen and other proprietary measurement software that contributes to market research, like the Nielsen’s TV Ratings. We may share information about the content you view on the Univision Services with Nielsen and other third-party market research companies.
  • As required by law and to protect our rights: We may share your Personal Information outside of Univision if such sharing is required by law or, in our good faith belief, sharing is reasonably necessary to: comply with legal process (including a court order or subpoena); cooperate with law enforcement; enforce this Privacy Policy, our Terms of Use, or other applicable terms and policies; respond to an emergency; or protect the rights, property or safety of Univision, our users, or the public.
  • Sale or transfer of all or part of our business: We may transfer your Personal Information as part of our assets if we (or parts of our businesses) are, sold or transferred to, merged with, or acquired by, a third party. Upon such transfer, the privacy policy of the acquiring entity may govern the use of your Personal Information.

    • We may also share your Personal Information with third parties outside Univision with your consent, as we describe at the time we collect your Personal Information, or as otherwise permitted by law.

    4. Cookies and Online Tracking Technologies

    We use cookies and other online tracking technologies to facilitate and customize your experience on the Univision Services.

    A “cookie” is a small text file that is stored on your computer that contains information about you and your use of digital services. We use cookies to save you time while using the Univision Service, remind us who you are, and collect information about how you use the Univision Service, such as which pages you visited and what links you clicked on. For example, we use Google Analytics to help us understand how users engage with the Service. Google Analytics uses cookies to track your interactions with the Univision Service, then collects that information and reports it to us. This information helps us improve the Univision Service so that we can better serve you.

    We also use cookies to track and target your interests in order to provide a customized and user-friendly experience and deliver tailored advertisements. For example, we use Google Ads to serve ads (including interest-based ads) on the Univision Services.

    Setting your cookie preferences: Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you may be able to modify your browser settings to decline cookies or notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. You can also choose to routinely and manually delete the cookies stored in your computer. If you choose to disable or reject cookies, you may still access the Univision Services, but some service features of the Univision Services may become unusable or may not function properly. Note that if you erase or otherwise alter your browser's cookie file (including upgrading certain browsers), you may need to opt out again.

    Other types of online tracking technologies that may be used on the Univision Services include:

  • Flash cookies: From time to time, we may use Flash cookies or similar technology for tracking purposes, saving preferences or when serving and managing ads on the Univision Services. Flash cookies cannot be rejected, disabled, turned off, opted out, or deleted in the same way as regular cookies such as HTML cookies. Flash cookies may remain on your computer even after you have rejected, disabled, opted out, or deleted regular cookies. For information on Flash Cookies and how to manage and remove them, visit Adobe or Macromedia.
  • Pixel tags and web beacons: We may use other industry standard technologies like pixel tags and web beacons to track your use of the Univision Services. Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny graphic images placed on certain pages on the Univision Services, or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action. When you access these pages or open or click an email, pixel tags and web beacons generate a non-personally identifiable notice of that action. Pixel tags allow us to measure and improve our understanding of visitor traffic and behavior on the Univision Services, as well as give us a way to measure our promotions and performance.
  • Third party applications: The Univision Services enable and/or contain links to certain third party applications (e.g., Facebook "Like" button and other social media plug-ins, tools and APIs) to enhance your experience on the Univision Services. When you interact with a third-party functionality, that third-party may collect information about your use of the Univision Services. Prior to using any third-party applications, you should review consult their privacy notices.
  • Do-Not-Track Disclosures: Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature (“DNT”) that signals to the websites that you visit that you do not want to have your activity tracked. Many websites and applications, including the Service, do not respond to DNT signals because such signals are not yet uniform. As a result, we and third parties may keep track of your browsing activities, including over time and across different sites and services.

    • 5. Interest-Based Advertising

    We may use your Personal Information to show to you interest-based ads. Interest-based ads are ads that are potentially relevant or tailored to your interests. For example, sometimes we show interest-based ads inside or alongside the content you view on the Univision Services.

    We and our Service Providers infer what might interest you based on the topics or subject matters of the content you view or have previously viewed. For example, if your prior viewing habits on the Univision Services suggest that you are a fan of a particular television show or topic, you may see more ads related to that show or topic while on the Univision Service. If you frequently view sports-related content on the Univision Service, we may infer that you are interested in sports and show you more sports-related ads.

    For more information about interest-based advertising, visit the Network Advertising Initiative and/or the Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. Note that we may collect information concerning your online activities over time, across your devices, and as you navigate to different websites, including third-party websites.

    To learn how to communicate your advertising preferences, see “Your Rights and Choices” below.

    6. Data Security

    Protecting the security of your Personal Information is important to us. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you provide or us we collect about you.


    We urge you to keep your Personal Information (including your username and password, if any) in a safe place and not to share it with anyone. If you have an account with us, remember to sign off your account and close your browser window when you have finished using the Univision Services. This will help prevent unauthorized users from accessing your account, especially if you are sharing a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place, such as a library.

    7. Links to Third Party Websites, Services or Products

    The Univision Services may contain links to websites, services, or products offered by third parties outside Univision. For example, the Univision Services may display third-party advertisements, and clicking on such advertisements will take you to the websites of those advertisers. We do not control these third party websites, services, or products. When you navigate away from the Univision Services, this Privacy Policy will no longer apply, and any information that the third party collects from or about you will be governed by the privacy policies and practices of that third party.

    You should always review and understand the privacy policies and practices of third parties before disclosing any Personal Information to those third parties.

    8. Other Univision Services

    Univision may post or link to a different privacy policy that applies to that specific website, application or service provided by Univision. If you use a website, application or service that links to a different privacy policy, that privacy policy will control.

    9. Note to International Users

    The Univision Services are intended for individuals located in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States and use the Univision Services or otherwise provide us with your Personal Information, you understand that any Personal Information that you provide or that we collect from you will be transferred to, and processed in the United States and other countries where we are located or have Service Providers or Business Partners.

    The laws in the United States may not be as protective as the laws in your country. By using the Univision Services or otherwise providing us with your Personal Information, you agree that you fully understand and consent to: (i) the transfer of your Personal Information to the United States; and (ii) the processing of your Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the laws applicable to us.
