# Newsday Android Application

### Privacy Policy

Newsday LLC ("Newsday" or "we") strives to offer users of its Android Application (the "App") the many advantages of Internet and mobile technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience on the Android device that you own or have permission from the owner to install the App on (the "Device"). We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone number or other information about you that could potentially identify you) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. Please note this policy applies only to information collected by Newsday through the App and does not impact information collected or used by Newsday or its Affiliates through other means.

How we gather information from users.

How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. You can visit many pages on our App without providing any information. Other pages may prompt you to provide information, such as when you register for access to portions of our site, sign up for membership, request certain features (e.g., newsletters, news updates and other products), sign up for a newspaper subscription or make a purchase. You may also provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, voting and polling activities, message boards and chat rooms and other interactive areas of the App.

Like most Web sites, the App also collects information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use "cookie" technology. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through other means.

What we do with the information we collect

We will use your information only as permitted by law and as set forth in this policy. Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways. As one example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most attractive. Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners, but cannot be used to contact you individually.

We also collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising. For example, we may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on the App to communicate with you regarding our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, products and services offered by Newsday and other Newsday Affiliates (defined below) and partners, administration of sweepstakes and contests, processing e-commerce transactions and other topics we think you might find of interest. In some cases we may combine Personally Identifiable Information collected on the App with demographic or other information (such as census records or customer information in our regular business records) to assist with tailoring advertising to your preferences and behaviors, and for other sales and marketing efforts of Newsday and its Affiliates. We reserve the right to share information with other Newsday business units and any entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, Newsday (collectively, "Affiliates"), including without limitation Newsday’s and its Affiliates’ newspapers, websites, programming services and other platforms.

Personally Identifiable Information collected by Newsday may also be used for other purposes including but not limited to App administration and troubleshooting. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation of our App (our hosting service and our newsletter provider, for example) may access such information.

As we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary to give such information to law enforcement authorities. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.

Your choice to opt out

The quality news and information on the App is supported by advertising revenue and a controlled program of e-mail marketing is an important element of our online publishing business. Like other mobile publishers, we sometimes permit our advertising and promotional partners to e-mail you about services, features, products, special offers and unique content we believe might interest you. If you prefer not to receive e-mail communications sent directly from our advertisers or promotional partners, you will be given an opportunity to decline before you provide us information we might use for this purpose. If you decline at the time you provide us such information, we will not share the Personally Identifiable Information you provide with non-Affiliate advertisers for such purposes, though we may on occasion send you information on their behalf.

Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements

Newsday expects its partners, advertisers and third-party Affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. However, third parties, including our partners, advertisers, Affiliates and other content providers accessible through our App, may have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example, during your use of our App you may link to, or view as part of a frame on an App page, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through the App you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, other sites, advertisements, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. Newsday is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third party.

While using our App, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies or other technology that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before. Through features available on our App, third parties may use cookies or other technology to gather information. Newsday does not control the use of this technology or the resulting information and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.

A cookie gets entered on your Device and may be used by the App on subsequent visits to the App. We may use persistent and session cookies or other technology to analyze and enhance your experience on the App, and use third party ad technology to serve ads. The data that is collected is the property of Newsday, not the third party. We also allow third parties called ad networks or ad servers to serve ads to you on the App. Cookies or other technology enable them to compile information about where you, or others who have used your Device, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on. This information makes it possible for the ad technology, ad servers and ad networks to deliver targeted advertisements to you on the App. Newsday does not have access to the cookies that may be placed on your Device by third-party ad technology, ad servers or ad networks. Newsday maintains relationships with a number of third-party networks, including without limitation Rhythm New Media. Those parties that use cookies or other technology may offer you a way to opt out of ad targeting. You may find more information at the Web site of the individual ad network or the Network Advertising Initiative.

Please be careful and responsible whenever you use the App. Should you choose to voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information on our App, such as in message boards, chat areas or in advertising or notices you post or photos you upload, that information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Newsday and this policy.

Children

Newsday does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally Identifiable Information from or about children under 13 except as permitted by law. If we discover we have received any information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we will delete that information immediately. If you believe Newsday has any information from or about anyone under 13, please contact us at the address listed below.

California Privacy Rights

Beginning January 1, 2005, California law permits users of the App who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email or write to us at the contact information below.

Changes to this policy

Newsday reserves the right to change this policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of the App following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes. Information collected prior to the time any change is posted will be used according to the rules and laws that applied at the time the information was collected.

Governing law

This policy and the use of the App are governed by New York law. Any claim related to the App or this policy shall be brought in a federal or state court in Nassau or Suffolk Counties, New York, within six months after the claim arises. You agree no such claim may be brought as a class action. Users of the App consent to the jurisdiction and venue of such court as the most convenient and appropriate for the resolution of disputes concerning this policy. If you are located outside the United States, please note the information you provide to us will be transferred to the United States. You hereby consent to this transfer.
