This Privacy Policy explains

What is Personal Information?

When we use the term “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to an individual. It does not include aggregated or de-identified information that is maintained in a form that is not reasonably capable of being associated with or linked to an individual.

We collect Personal Information in connection with your visits to and use of the Service. This collection includes information that you provide in connection with the Service, information from third parties, and information that is collected automatically such as through the use of cookies and other tracking technologies.

You may also opt in to participate in our Data Dividends Rewards Program (“Data Dividends”) that allows you to earn rewards for sharing your Personal Information with Pogo and with Participating Businesses (in certain circumstances) for market research and/or personalized advertisements. The Personal Information collected, used, or shared will depend on your settings and the relevant activities or surveys you choose to participate in as part of Data Dividends.  For more information, please see the Opt In to Data Dividends and Control Over Your Personal Information section of this Privacy Policy.

Targeted Online Advertising

To learn more about interest-based advertising and how you may be able to opt out of some of this advertising (to the extent the advertising partner or other entity participates in such industry opt-out pages), you may wish to visit the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (DAA) resources at www.aboutads.info/choices or the Network Advertising Initiative’s (NAI) online resources at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. You can also opt out of receiving some interest-based advertisements on mobile apps by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices. You may also be able to opt out of some — but not all — interest-based advertising served by mobile ad networks by visiting http://youradchoices.com/appchoices and downloading the mobile AppChoices app.

Please note that when you opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements, this does not mean you will no longer see advertisements from us or on our online services. It means that the online ads that you do see from these self-regulatory program participants (or other participants that may provide an opt-out mechanism) should not be based on your interests. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third-parties’ opt-out options or programs, or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.

Once retention of the Personal Information is no longer necessary for the purposes outlined above, we will either delete or deidentify the Personal Information or, if this is not possible (for example, because Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store the Personal Information and isolate it from further processing until deletion or deidentification is possible.

We will need to verify your identity before processing your request. In order to verify your identity, we will generally either require the successful login to your account or the matching of sufficient information you provide us to the information we maintain about you in our systems. Although we try to limit the personal information collected in connection with a request to exercise the right to know, the right to deletion, and/or the right to correct to that personal information identified on the California Resident Rights Request Form, certain requests may require us to obtain additional personal information from you. In certain circumstances, we may decline a request to exercise the right to access/know, right to deletion, or right to correct particularly where we are unable to verify your identity.

To Exercise Your Right to Opt Out of Personal Information Sales or Sharing for Targeted Advertising

We “sell” or “share” personal information to third parties, as such terms are broadly defined under the CCPA.

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your Right to Opt Out of Personal Information Sales or Sharing for Targeted Advertising. However, we may ask you to provide additional personal information so that we can properly identify you in our dataset and to track compliance with your opt out request. We will only use personal information provided in an opt out request to review and comply with the request. If you chose not to provide this information, we may only be able to process your request to the extent we are able to identify you in our data systems.

Once you make an opt-out request, you may change your mind and opt back in to personal information sales at any time through the Data Dividends Controls Center in our App or by emailing us at privacy@joinpogo.com.

To make opt-out requests related to mobile apps on your device for businesses participating in the DAA’s CCPA App-based Opt-Out Tool, you can download the appropriate app at https://www.privacyrights.info/.

To Exercise Your Right to Limit the Use of Your Sensitive Information

Unless you have exercised your Right to Limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information, we may use your sensitive personal information for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy. To exercise this right, please see Your Privacy Choices.

Authorized Agents

In certain circumstances, you are permitted to use an authorized agent (as that term is defined by the CCPA) to submit requests on your behalf through the designated methods set forth in these CA Disclosures where we can verify the authorized agent’s authority to act on your behalf.

For requests to access/know, delete, or correct PI, we require the following for verification purposes:

  • a power of attorney valid under the laws of California from you or your authorized agent; or
  • sufficient evidence to show that you have:
    • provided the authorized agent signed permission to act on your behalf; and
    • verified your own identity directly with us pursuant to the instructions set forth in these CA Disclosures; or directly confirmed with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request on your behalf.

For requests to opt out of “sales” or “sharing”, we require a signed permission demonstrating your authorized agent has been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

Minors Under Age 16

We do not sell the personal information of consumers we know to be less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “Right to Opt In”) from either the minor who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a minor less than 13 years of age.

“Shine the Light”

California's "Shine the Light" law (Civil Code Section §1798.83) provides certain rights to California residents that have an established business relationship with us with regard to the disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To opt out of having your personal information disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes, please click the “Your Privacy Choices” link above.

Financial Incentives

In addition, we may offer you financial incentives (such as Data Dividends) for the collection, sale, retention and use of your PI as permitted by the CCPA that can, without limitation, result in reasonably different prices, rates, or quality levels. The material aspects of any financial incentive will be explained and described in its program terms. Please note that participating in incentive programs is entirely optional, you will have to affirmatively opt in to the program and you can opt out of each program (i.e., terminate participation and forgo the ongoing incentives) prospectively by following the instructions in the applicable program description and terms. We may add or change incentive programs, and/or their terms by posting notice on the program descriptions and terms linked to above, so check them regularly.

Each financial incentive or price or service difference related to the collection and use of personal information is based upon our reasonable, good-faith determination of the estimated value of such information to our business, taking into consideration the value of the offer itself and the anticipated revenue generation that may be realized by rewarding brand loyalty. We calculate the value of the offer and financial incentive by using the expense related to the offer.

Updates to These CA Disclosures

We will update these CA Disclosures from time to time. When we make changes to these CA Disclosures, we will change the "Last Updated" date at the beginning of these CA Disclosures. If we make material changes to these CA Disclosures, we will notify you through appropriate communication channels. All changes shall be effective from the date of publication unless otherwise provided in the notification.
