Network Concerts Privacy Policy
Network Concerts values the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy describes the information that Network Concerts and our affiliated companies (“we,” or “us”) collect about consumers (“you” and “your household”) and how we use and share that information.
Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected by Roku through the “Network Concerts Services”, which includes: Network Concerts websites (“Network Concerts Sites”), Network Concert’s products and certain other products utilizing Network Concert’s streaming platform or operating systems (including Roku players, Roku TVs, speakers and other audio-enabled products) (collectively, “Roku Devices”), certain Network Concerts co-branded channels (“Network Concerts Direct Publisher Channels”), Network Concert’s mobile apps (including the Network Concerts Mobile App), Network Concerts branded channels like The Network Concerts Channel (“Network Concert’s Channels”), Network Concert’s advertising services, the Network Concerts emails, podcasts and newsletters, and Network Concert’s accounts on third-party social networking sites.
Using our products and services, you can stream channels provided by other companies (“Third-Party Channels”), and Network Concerts co-branded channels like the Network Concerts Direct Publisher Channels. When you stream one of these channels, you are interacting with that channel directly, and the channel provider and its analytics and advertising partners may collect information from your Roku Device, including your device identifier and how you use that channel. This Privacy Policy does not cover the actions of these channel providers and their partners. For more information about how these channels use your data, please see their privacy policies.

C. Information We Receive from Third Parties
We may receive data about you from other sources like data providers and combine it with the data that we collect from you or your use of the Network Concerts Services. Advertisers that show ads through Network Concert’s advertising services (our “Advertisers”) may also provide data about individuals to us to personalize and measure ads through Network Concert’s advertising services.
We may also receive your personal information from others if they have referred you as described under Part I, Section A(5) above.
D. Information Collected by Channel Providers
If you install or stream a Third-Party Channel or Network Concerts Direct Publisher Channel (i.e., a channel co-branded with the Network Concerts on the channel’s home page), or if you conduct a voice search in one of these channels, you are interacting with that channel directly, and the channel provider and its advertising partners may collect information about your Roku Devices (including unique identifiers, IP addresses, and device settings like language and time zone), your Network Concerts account registration information (if you choose to share that with them), and your usage of that channel (e.g., videos, ads and other content you search, select and view within their channels, and audio information when you use some of the voice-enabled features), as described in the privacy policy for that channel. You should review the privacy policy for the channel you want to install or stream to understand how your data is used.

Part II. Information Usage
Information collected by Network Concerts is used for the following purposes:
1. Support, Maintenance and Fulfillment. We use your information to provide and maintain the Network Concerts Services, and to process and fulfill your requests or orders;
2. Improvement of Products and Services. We use your information to understand and analyze our user base and how you use the Network Concerts Services, and to improve and enhance the Network Concerts Services (including building correlations in Network Concerts’ advertising services in order to better serve our Advertisers), and to develop new products, services, features and functionality;

We associate the browsers and devices (such as smartphones, tablets, streaming players, connected TVs, and computers) used by the same individual or household for purposes of advertising to that individual or household on different browsers or devices. This allows, for example, ads you see on your tablet to be based on activities you engaged in on your Network Concerts TV.

B. Our Sharing
1. Service Providers and Vendors
We work with other businesses (including contractors and service providers) to provide services for us and to help with our operations, which may require that they access and use your information. For example, we may use other companies to communicate with you (via telephone, email, or letter) about our products or services, to send information to you, to process and collect payment via your credit card (if applicable), to provide customer support, to receive additional data about you, and to perform analytics and other work that we may need to outsource.
2. Channel Providers
We share information with partners whose services are available through the Network Concerts Services such as providers of Third-Party Channels and Network Concerts Direct Publisher Channels. This information is shared for different purposes, including for reporting and analytics (e.g., report on the total number of channel installations or the number of hours streamed), providing service to you, tailoring your user experience, and personalizing ads to you.
If you subscribe to a channel from these partners on your device or through the Network Concerts Services and you do not wish to type in your information using the remote, we can share your Network Concerts account registration information with the channel provider to save you time. For more information about how these channel providers will use your data, please consult their respective privacy policies.

4. Advertisers and Advertising Partners
We work with advertising partners to show you ads that we think may interest you for Network Concerts’ products and services on Network Concerts Services and on other companies’ websites, apps, and devices. We also work with advertising partners in order to show you ads from Advertisers on Network Concerts Services and on other companies’ websites, apps, and devices.

5. Advertising Measurement Providers and Services
We work with advertising measurement providers to help us and our Advertisers understand the effectiveness of ad campaigns, including the audience that saw their ads and how they responded. These measurement providers collect or receive information about your viewing of or interaction with ads, including ads that you view within Network Concerts Direct Publisher Channels, Network Concerts’ Channels and Third-Party Channels, as well as ads included in content that you view through your
connected devices and ads you view on other websites, mobile apps, and connected devices (including Smart TVs) to which Network Concerts provides advertising services. We may also share your demographics data and audience segments (e.g. sports fans, sitcom enthusiasts, cord cutters, etc.) with advertising measurement providers.
Measurement providers use your information to create statistics about what content and ads are being watched – for example, to help them and their clients understand the audience viewing the content or ads, and to measure the effectiveness of the ads.
Network Concerts, through its advertising services, provides measurement and analytics solutions to other companies. In providing these services, we analyze and reorganize ad campaign data from these companies and provide analytics reports to help them better understand the audience that viewed the company’s ads and whether those viewers belong to the same household.
7. Corporate Affiliates
We may share your information with our current or future “affiliates” (which means a parent company, any subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control), in which case we will require our affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy.

We also may share personally identifying information with your consent, for example, when you agree to our sharing of your personally identifying information with other third parties for their own marketing purposes, subject to their separate privacy policies.
9. Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers
We may also share your information with others in connection with or during negotiation of any merger, financing, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, transaction or proceeding involving sale, transfer, divestiture or disclosure of all or a portion of our business or assets to another company.
10. As Required by Law and Similar Disclosures
We may also share your information (1) to comply with laws or to respond to lawful requests and legal process, (2) to protect the rights and property of Network Concerts, our employees, agents, customers, and others, including to enforce our agreements, policies, and terms of use, (3) in an emergency to protect the personal safety of Network Concerts, its employees or customers, or any person, or (4) to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal or suspected illegal activities.

You should review the privacy policy provided by the Third-Party Channel to understand your choices. You can also reset the Advertising Identifier of your Network Concerts Device by choosing “Reset Advertising Identifier” in your Roku Device settings.
To ask Network Concerts to stop personalizing your ads on Smart TVs, set top boxes, media streaming devices and other OTT platforms offered by other companies, you can use the Limit Ad Tracking setting on that platform, if one is available.
Each of these opt-out mechanisms opts you out of Network Concerts’ personalizing of ads only for that specific device or browser and will not affect activities or personalized advertising on other browsers or different devices.
You can opt out of personalized ads from third parties on the Network Concerts Site through our opt-out tool included in Network Concerts’ cookie policy here. This tool opts you out of personalized advertising only for that specific browser from which you opt out and will not affect activities or targeted advertising on other browsers or different devices.

At this time, there is no accepted standard for how to respond to Do Not Track signals, and we do not respond to such signals.
Part V. Data Storage, Transfers and Security
A. Security: We use industry-standard methods of securing electronic databases of personal information. However, you should know that no company, including Network Concerts, can fully eliminate security risks associated with personal information. To help protect yourself, please use a strong password, do not use the same password to access your Network Concerts account that you use with other accounts or services, and protect your usernames and passwords to help prevent others from accessing your accounts and services.
B. Transfers: Network Concerts is a global company with affiliates, varied business processes, management structures and technical systems that cross borders. Information collected by Network Concerts or on our behalf may be stored on your Devices, on your mobile device if you use mobile apps, or on our servers, and may be transferred to, accessed from, or stored and processed globally in any other country where Network Concerts or its service providers maintain facilities or call centers, including jurisdictions that may not have data privacy laws that provide protections equivalent to those provided in your home country. While such information is outside of your country of residence, it is subject to the laws of the country in which it is held, and may be subject to disclosure to the governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies of such other country, pursuant to the laws of such country. We will protect all personal information we obtain in accordance with this Privacy Policy and take reasonable steps to ensure that it is treated lawfully.
C. Retention: Personal information we collect may be retained for as long as needed to fulfill legitimate business purposes, including the purposes outlined in “Information Usage” under Part II, or for a time period specifically required or allowed by applicable regulations or laws.
Part VI. Additional Notice for California Residents
A. California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”)
The CCPA requires us to provide our consumers who reside in California with the additional notice below.
In the prior 12 months before the date of this Privacy Policy, we may have collected and disclosed for a business purpose the following categories of personal information:
Identifiers, including account IDs, household ID, device identifiers, internet protocol addresses, browser cookies, and other unique online identifiers.
Account Records, including name, address, email address, telephone number, and payment card number.
Protected Classifications under California or Federal Law.
Commercial Information, including products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies.
Electronic Network Activity, Internet or other electronic network activity information, including browsing history, search history, and information regarding a consumer’s interaction with an Internet website, application, service or advertisement.
Geolocation data.
Profiles and Inferences, inferences drawn from any personal information to create a profile about a consumer reflecting the consumer’s preferences, characteristics, predispositions, behavior, and attitudes.
Audio/Visual Information, including audio, electronic, visual, or similar information.
Professional/Employment Information.
But, we only disclose Account Records to contractors and service providers to help with our business operations and carry out work that we need to outsource (see Part III, Section B(1) above), and to business partners at your direction (for example, if you subscribe to a channel on device, you can authorize us to share your Roku account information with the channel provider to avoid entering your information using the remote and to expedite the sign-up process).
In the prior 12 months before the date of this Privacy Policy, we may have shared Identifiers, Protected Classifications, Commercial Information, Electronic Network Activity, Profiles and Inferences, and Professional/Employment Information with business partners to bring you ads that are more relevant and to measure and report on the effectiveness of ad campaigns. Under the CCPA, some of this data sharing may be broadly considered a “sale” of information even though these activities do not fit what most people would understand “sale” to mean. Except for this type of sharing, we do not sell your information.
Part I of this Privacy Policy, “Information Collection”, describes the categories of sources from which we collect your personal information. Part II, Section A, “Information Usage, Use by or on Behalf of Network Concerts,” describes how we use your personal information. Part III, Section B, “Information Sharing, Network Concerts Sharing” sets forth the categories of service providers and business partners with whom we share your personal information.
If you are a resident of California, you have the right to make the following requests, up to twice every 12 months:
The right to request a copy of the personal information that we have collected about you in the prior 12 months.
The right to request details about the categories of personal information we collect, the categories of sources, the business or commercial purposes for collecting information, and the categories of third parties with which we share information.
The right to request deletion of the personal information that we have collected about you, subject to certain exemptions.
The right to opt-out of sale of your personal information.
California consumers can submit a deletion and right-to-know request online by clicking here. To exercise the right to opt out, please visit our Do-Not-Sell page. Your rights are subject to certain exceptions under the CCPA.
The CCPA prohibits discrimination against California consumers for exercising their rights under it and imposes requirements on any financial incentives offered to California consumers related to their personal information, unless the different prices, rates, or quality of goods or services are reasonably related to the value of the consumer’s data.
B. California’s Shine-the-Light Law
California’s “Shine the Light” law (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.83) permits California residents to request and receive, once per calendar year and free of charge, information about our sharing of your personal information (if any) with third parties for their own direct marketing use. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please
email privacy@networkconcerts.com. In your request, please include your name and attest to the fact that you are a California resident and provide a current California address. We may ask you for additional information to confirm your identity before responding to this request.
Part VII. Modifications
We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended version on the applicable Network Concerts Site or by providing such notice about or obtaining consent to changes as may be required by applicable law.
