This Drooly Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains the types of personal information we collect, and how we collect, use, maintain, protect, and share this information. This Privacy Policy also tells you about the rights and choices you may have when it comes to your personal information.
You agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy in their entirety when you: (a) access or use the Drooly website; (b) access and/or view any of the video, audio, stories, text, photographs, graphics, artwork and/or other content featured on the website (collectively, “Content”); (c) sign up for a subscription or to place an order, which includes processing and delivery of orders (the “Service”); and/or (d) access links to Drooly’s social media pages/accounts on third party social media websites, such as Facebook®, Instagram®, Pinterest®, Twitter® and YouTube® (collectively, “Social Media Pages”). Any information you transmit to us is sent at your own risk.
WHEN THE PRIVACY POLICY APPLIES
This Privacy Policy applies to the information we collect when you use Drooly-branded products, services, networks, and platforms. This Privacy Policy also applies to other Drooly-branded products and services that link to it. It also applies to the information we collect about you from third-parties. This Privacy Policy does not apply to non-Drooly products, services, websites, and mobile applications that you may access or use through Drooly platforms.
Because this Privacy Policy describes the privacy practices for all of our Services, some parts may not apply to you. To the extent there is an overlap between this Privacy Policy and a service-specific privacy policy, the service-specific policy or agreement will control with respect to that service.
This Policy does not apply to any non-Drooly products, services, websites, and mobile applications that you may use through the Drooly platforms. For example, if you subscribe to Drooly and visit a news or shopping website, the privacy policy for that website will apply.

Third-Parties
We do not sell, and have never sold, information that identifies who you are to anyone. Although permitted by federal law, we do not disclose your name and address to non-governmental entities, such as charities or businesses, for their own marketing purposes.
Sometimes, you may ask us to share information that personally identifies you with another company. In that instance, we will make sure you give us clear direction about what you want us to share and with whom, before we share that information.
Other Sharing with Third-Parties can Include:
Social Media Companies
You may interact with parts of our Services that cause information to be published to your social networks. For example, you may click on a Facebook “like” button, which publishes to your Facebook account that you “like” one of our Services. On those parts of our websites with social network functionality, a social network may be able to collect information about you. For example, if a page contains a Facebook “like” button, Facebook may be able to collect data about your visit to that page, even if you do not click on the “like” button. To control this sharing of information, please review the privacy policy of the relevant social network and/or sign out of it before you use our Services.
NOTE: If you access or log-in to Drooly through a social media website or other non-Drooly service, or connect a Drooly service to a social media website or other non-Drooly service, the information we collect may also include your user ID and/or user name associated with that social media service, any information or content you have permitted the social media service to share with us, such as your profile picture, email address or friends lists, and any information you have made public in connection with that social media service. When you access the Drooly services through social media services or when you connect a Drooly service to social media services, you are authorizing Drooly to collect, store, and use such information and content in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Online Advertising Partners
We may use cookies to deliver personalized advertising to you when you visit other websites, including advertising based on the products and services you viewed on our Services. We also allow our partners, including advertisers and service providers, to use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you use our Services. For more information about the use of cookies and other technologies on our online Services, please see the Cookies Policy (On our website at www.Drooly.com).
Audience Measurement and Analytics Companies
We work with business partners to help us measure and analyze how our customers are using our Services. For video, this includes assessing which programs are most popular, how many people watch a program to its conclusion, whether people are watching advertisements, and what programming and video content we will carry on the Drooly.com website.
Potential Purchasers of our Business
If we enter into a potential or actual merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, then information about you and your subscription will, in most cases, be shared or transferred as part of the transaction. This includes information that personally identifies you.
Government Entities When Required by Law or To Protect Drooly and Others
There are times when we may be required by law to disclose information about you to third-parties. This may happen with or without your consent, and with or without notice, in compliance with the terms of valid legal process such as a subpoena, court order, or search warrant.
If you subscribe to a service through Drooly, Drooly may be required to disclose information that personally identifies you to a governmental entity in response to a court order. In this case, the Cable Act requires that you be given the opportunity to appear in a court proceeding to contest any claims made in support of the court order, and the governmental entity must offer clear and convincing evidence that you are reasonably suspected of engaging in criminal activity and that the information sought would be material evidence in the case.
Drooly may be required to disclose information that personally identifies you to a governmental entity in response to a subpoena, court order, or search warrant, depending on the type of information sought. We are usually prohibited from notifying you of any such disclosures by the terms of the legal process.
A non-governmental entity, such as a civil litigant, can seek information that personally identifies you or your use of the Drooly Services only pursuant to a court order, and we are required by the Cable Act to notify you of such court order. If Drooly is required to give information that personally identifies you to a private third-party in response to a civil court order for these or other Services, we will notify you prior to making such disclosure unless legally prohibited from doing so.
We may also disclose information that personally identifies you as permitted by law and without your consent when it is necessary to protect our customers, employees, or property; in emergency situations; or to enforce our rights under our terms of service and policies.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
We follow industry-standard practices to secure the information we collect to prevent the unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of any personal information we collect and maintain. These security practices include technical, administrative, and physical safeguards, which may vary, depending on the type and sensitivity of the information. Although we take the responsibility of safeguarding your personal information seriously, no security measures are 100% effective and we cannot guarantee that these practices will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose your information.
HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION
We keep your personal information for different lengths of time depending on the type of information and the business and legal requirements. For example, if you are a customer, we keep information that personally identifies you as long as you subscribe to one or more of our Services. If you no longer subscribe to a Service, we still may need that information for business and legal requirements, such as to protect against fraud, calculate taxes, or respond to legal requests. Other information is deleted automatically after a set period of time, often set by law, unless we are legally required to hold it longer, such as for pending litigation. We destroy, de-identify, or anonymize the information when it is no longer needed in identifiable form.
THE CHOICES YOU HAVE TO CONTROL OUR USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
You have many choices about how we communicate with you and how we use or share your information. You can manage these settings in the on our website at www.Drooly.com/My-Account. If you change your mind, you can update your preferences anytime.

HOW TO ACCESS AND CORRECT THE INFORMATION IN OUR RECORDS
Part of our commitment to transparency includes giving our customers access to the personally identifiable information we have about them. If you subscribe to Drooly Services, you have the ability to see and correct your personally identifiable information through My Account.
If you subscribe to any Service, you may correct or update information by visiting the My Account portal or by contacting us as described below. We will correct our records once we have verified that the changes you request are proper.
If you would like to see your own personally identifiable information, other than your customer proprietary network information (“CPNI”), you may do so by please contacting us by email at [email protected] and giving us a reasonable period of time to locate and, if necessary, prepare the information for review, and to arrange an appointment during regular business hours. You will need to have proper identification and will only be able to see the personally identifiable information in your account and no other account.
If you make a written request for a copy of your Drooly CPNI, we will provide you with the relevant information we have by mailing it to your account address, or to any person authorized by you, if we reasonably believe the request is valid. However, subscribers to our Drooly Services should be aware that we generally do not provide them with records of any inbound or outbound calls or other records that we do not furnish in the ordinary course of business (for example, as part of a bill) or which are available only from our archives, without valid legal process such as a court order. In addition, we cannot correct any errors in customer names, addresses, or telephone numbers appearing in, or omitted from, our or our vendors’ directory lists until the next available publication of those directory lists. Further, we may have no control over information appearing in the directory lists or directory assistance services of directory publishers or directory assistance providers that are not owned by us.
Drooly reserves the right to charge you for the reasonable cost of retrieving and photocopying any information or documents that you request, where permitted by law.
NON-US INFORMATION
You agree that your information will be held by Drooly in the United States and may also be held and accessed by Drooly staff and third-parties working for Drooly inside and outside the United States. If your information is gathered outside the United States, you agree that it may be transferred to Drooly’s United States offices to be used for these purposes, and it may be transferred to and shared with any of Drooly’s worldwide locations.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
We do not intentionally collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen. If we become aware that we have collected personally identifiable information from a user of the Drooly website who is under the age of thirteen, we will remove that child’s personal information from our files.
