Information Collected Via Technology

As you use The Daily Hookup, certain information may also be passively collected and stored on our or our service providers’ server logs, including your Internet protocol address, browser type, and operating system. We also use cookies and navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (URL) to gather information regarding the date and time of your visit and the solutions and information for which you searched and viewed, or on which of the advertisements displayed on the deal you clicked. This type of information is collected to make The Daily Hookup and solutions more useful to you and to tailor the experience with The Daily Hookup to meet your special interests and needs.

Like most sites, The Daily Hookup makes use of browser "cookies", small text files placed on your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing a website. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience with The Daily Hookup. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your Internet browser help file directions. In order to use our services offered through The Daily Hookup, your web browser must accept cookies. If you choose to disable cookies, some aspects of The Daily Hookup may not work properly, and you may not be able to receive our services.  The Daily Hookup will never use cookies to retrieve information from a computer that is unrelated to our site or services.  We engage in remarketing to market our sites across the web. When a user visits our site, a cookie is dropped on the user. Users with this cookie may be targeted across advertising networks to receive relevant advertisements. You may opt out of this ad serving using the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out page (http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp).

An "Internet protocol address" or "IP Address" is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. In some cases your IP Address stays the same from browser session to browser session; but if you use a consumer internet access provider, your IP Address probably varies from session to session. For example, we, or our service providers, may track your IP Address when you access The Daily Hookup to assist with ad targeting.

We may also enable advertisers and ad servers to promote third-party products and/or services by placing advertisements on The Daily Hookup. These advertisers and ad servers may use cookies and/or "Web Beacons" (which are usually small, transparent graphic images) in order to monitor information related to served advertisements. Clicking on such advertisements will direct you to the website of a third-party and the advertiser. This Privacy Policy does not cover the privacy practices of any advertisers or ad servers.

Use and Disclosure of Information

Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share for marketing purposes the Personal Information that we collect with third parties, unless you ask or authorize us to do so.

In general, Personal Information you submit to us is used by us to provide you access to The Daily Hookup, to improve The Daily Hookup, to better tailor the features, performance, and support of The Daily Hookup and to offer you additional information, opportunities, promotions and functionality from us, our partners or our advertisers at your request. Additionally, we do share your content preferences and other information with the social network with which you have connected to The Daily Hookup, along with those companies and persons you have asked us to share your information with.

We may provide your Personal Information to third-party service providers who work on behalf of or with us to provide some of the services and features of The Daily Hookup and to help us communicate with you. Examples of such services include sending email, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing payments (including credit card payments), and providing customer service.  We inform our third party service providers that they cannot use such information except as necessary to provide the relevant services to us.

Additionally, we may create Non-Personal Information records from Personal Information by excluding information (such as your name) that would otherwise make the Non-Personal Information personally identifiable to you. Generally, we aggregate this information and use it in statistical analysis to help us analyze patterns in the use of The Daily Hookup. This Privacy Policy does not limit our use or disclosure of any Non-Personal Information in any way, and we reserve the right to use and disclose Non-Personal Information to our partners, advertisers and other third parties in our discretion.

We may share some or all of your Personal Information with The Daily Hookup affiliated companies that are under a common control, in which case we will require them to honor this Privacy Policy.

As with any other business, we could merge with or be acquired by another company.  In the event we go through a business transition such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your Personal Information may be among the assets transferred, however, the Personal Information would remain subject to this Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to disclose your Personal Information if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to (a) comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on us; or (b) to protect and defend our rights or property, you, or third parties.
