Your privacy is important to us. As such, we provide this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”)
explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your
information is collected and used by this digital service, which includes any online or mobile
websites, applications or digital services owned, operated or offered by, on behalf of, or in
conjunction with Turner or its Affiliates, including any online or mobile website, application or
digital service installation through which this Privacy Policy appears (each a “Service,”
collectively the “Services”). “Users” are persons that use the Services.
The Information We Collect
We receive both information that is directly provided to us, such as personal information you
provide when you visit the Services, and information that is passively or automatically collected
from you, such as anonymous information collected from your browser or device. In this Privacy
Policy, we refer to all of this as the “Information”.
1. Information You Provide To Us. At some Services, you can register, order products, enter
contests, vote in polls or otherwise express an opinion, subscribe to one of our services such as
our online newsletters or text message alerts, or participate in one of our online forums or
communities.
At some Services, you may also be able to submit Information about other people. For example,
you might submit a person's name and e-mail address to send an electronic greeting card and, if
you order a gift online and want it sent directly to the recipient, you might submit the recipient's
name and address. This Information may include, for instance, a recipient's name, address,
e-mail address, and telephone number.
2. Information That is Passively or Automatically Collected. We, third party service providers,
advertisers, advertising networks and platforms, agencies, and distribution or other partners may
use automated means to collect various types of Information about you, your computer or other
device used to access our Services. A representative, non-exhaustive list of the types of
automatically collected information may include: network or Internet protocol address and type of
browser you are using (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer), the type of operating
system you are using, (e.g., Microsoft Windows or Mac OS), the name of your Internet service
provider (e.g., Comcast, Verizon or AT&T) and domains used by such providers, mobile network,
device identifiers (such as an Apple IDFA or an Android Advertising ID), device settings, browser
settings, the web pages of the Services you have visited, Services visited before and after you
visit a Service, the type of handheld or mobile device used to view the Service (e.g., iOS,
Android), location information, and the content and advertisements you have accessed, seen,
forwarded and/or clicked on.
3. Geo-location Information
If you are accessing a Service from a mobile device or through a mobile application, you may be
asked to share your precise (GPS level) geo-location information with us so we can customize

your experience on our Services or on other Services, when we work with a Partner such as a
third party mobile ad platform. If you agree to such collection, in most cases, you will be able to
turn off such data collection at any time by accessing the privacy settings of your mobile device
and/or through the settings in the applicable mobile application.
4. Information Collected By and From Social Media Services and Other Third Party Platforms
You also can engage with our content, such as video, games, applications, and other offerings,
on or through social media services or other third party platforms, such as Facebook, or other
third-party social media plug-ins, integrations and applications. When you engage with our
content on or through social media services or other third party platforms, plug-ins, integrations
or applications, you may allow us to have access to certain Information in your profile. This may
include your name, e-mail address, photo, gender, birthday, location, an ID associated with the
applicable third party platform or social media account user files, like photos and videos, your list
of friends or connections, people you follow and/or who follow you, or your posts or “likes.” For a
description on how social media services and other third party platforms, plug-ins, integrations or
applications handle your information, please refer to their respective privacy policies and terms of
use, which may permit you to modify your privacy settings.
When we interact with you through our content on third party websites, applications, integrations
or platforms, we may obtain any information regarding your interaction with that content, such as
content you have viewed, your game performance, high scores, and information about
advertisements within the content you have been shown or may have clicked on.

10. perform analysis regarding how you use the Services or any part thereof,

like (1) give you exclusive content, (2) personalize your online experience with us within and
outside our Services, (3) contact you through the social media service or directly by sending you
the latest news, special offerings, and rewards, and (4) enable you to share your experience and

may be publicly viewed by other members of these services and we cannot prevent further use of
the information by third parties.
We may use “cookies” or similar technologies to associate certain of the Information with a
unique identifier that then associates the Information with your device or browser.
We may combine any of the Information we collect, for any of the above purposes, and may
sometimes enhance the Information with other information that we obtain from third party
sources. Please also be aware that if you choose to submit Information or content for publication
(e.g., a letter to our editors, comments sent to our television personalities, a posting to a blog or a
discussion board, or a video), we may publish that Information and content, along with other
Information about you (such as your name, screen name or location). Likewise, if you register
and create a profile with our Service, the screen name you select as well as other content you
submit to your profile (e.g., photos, comments, video, reviews) will be displayed publicly on the
Service, is searchable, can be found by third parties and may be reused and redistributed by us
in our sole discretion.

policies governing our Services.
4. We may transfer some or all of your Information if we, or one of our business units, undergoes
a business transition, like a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or part of our
assets, or if a substantial portion of our or of a business unit’s assets is sold or merged in this
way.
Please note that the Services covered by this Privacy Policy may offer content (e.g., contests,
sweepstakes, promotions, games, applications, or social network integrations) that is sponsored
by or co-branded with identified third parties. By virtue of these relationships, the third parties
may obtain information from their visitors. We have no control over these third parties' use of this
information, which is subject to their own privacy policies.
