III. Information We Collect and How We Collect It
We collect information in the following ways: (i) we collect information you submit via the Site, including on the forum page; and (ii) we collect information we derive from your use of the Site. The information we gather enables us to personalize, improve and continue to operate the Service.

o IP addresses and Device IDs, and we will collect and monitor other data and information relating to your device, mobile network and standard web information about your activities on the Site such as your browser type and the pages you access on our Site. We gather and monitor this data to analyze trends, administer the Site, identify users when they visit or use the Site and track users’ movements when using the Site.
o We will use web beacons/GIF, pixel tags and/or other data and analytics, which are tools that help us to determine, for instance, whether a page has been viewed or not and, if so, how many times. When you ask us to send you information on a promotion or a newsletter, we will use web beacons to establish how many of the emails are actually opened. In general, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page, including an ad banner, can act as a web beacon. We will use web beacons to collect web usage analytics and we will use similar tools to collect such information from mobile devices.
o When you visit portions of the Site, the server housing the applicable pages automatically generates a “session log”. We use session logs to help us determine how people travel through the Site. In this way, we can structure our pages so that the information most frequently visited is easier to find. By tracking page visits, we can also determine if the information we’re providing is being used. The only data gathered is the IP address from which you came, the source that referred you, the Device ID, the pages you visited and/or the date and time of those visits.
o Users can be directed to the Site via banner ads or site links or mobile ads. Ads or website links that are placed by the Site will use cookies or web beacons to deliver metrics on the effectiveness of the ads or links.

Cookies, which are small text files recorded in a user’s hard drive, are employed by thousands of sites to enhance users’ web viewing. Cookies cannot damage user files, nor can they read information from a user’s hard drive. Cookies allow sites and advertisers to “remember” users across pages of a site and across multiple visits to a site. We use session and persistent cookies for remembering user preferences and current session information. Because of our use of cookies, we can deliver faster service, more consistent, updated results, and a more personalized site. In addition to cookies that are strictly necessary to operate the Site, we use the following cookies:
o (a) Functional cookies, which enhance your experience on our Site (e.g. remember what language you speak).
o (b) Performance Cookies, including provided by Google Analytics (see below for further information), which enable us to provide a better user experience based on how you use our Site.
o (c) Targeting or Advertising Cookies, which are set by third parties, including Google AdSense, and tell us and those third parties about your browsing habits, so you can be provided with advertising that is more relevant to you.
o (d) Social Media Cookies, which are set by Social Networking Services and allow you to share what you’ve been doing on the Site on social media.
You have certain options to control or restrict which information we share with advertisers, Ad Networks or other Third Party Services (as defined in Section X (Third Party Services)). These options depend on whether the information is collected through the Site or the App.
Options for the Site. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, however you may visit our cookie privacy center here and set your cookie preferences. We or our vendors or content partners use several common online tracking tools, including browser and flash cookies, web beacons and similar technologies, to personalize your experience on the Site, provide measurement services, and serve you targeted advertisements. Most browsers allow you to change your cookie settings. These settings will typically be found in the “options” or “preferences” menu of your browser; otherwise you should use the “Help” option in your browser for more details. Some web browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature that lets the browser specify that a user does not want to have their online activities tracked. Our website is equipped to respond to these signals. There are also available mechanisms created for the digital advertising industry, where you can register your intent not to receive targeted advertising, located at http://www.aboutads.info/choices, http://optout.networkadvertising.org/ and http://www.youronlinechoices.com.

Like many services, Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to track user interactions, as in our case, where they are used to collect information about how users use our site. This information is used to compile reports and to help us improve our Website. The reports disclose website trends without identifying individual visitors. You can opt out of Google Analytics without affecting how you visit our site – for more information on opting out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites you use, visit this Google page: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

XIV. Your California Privacy Rights
Sharing for Direct Marketing
A California resident who has provided personal information to a business with whom he/she has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes (“California customer”) is entitled to request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business has made such a disclosure of personal information, upon receipt of a request by a California customer, the business is required to provide a list of all third parties to whom personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information that were disclosed.
However, under the law, a business is not required to provide the above-described lists if the business adopts and discloses to the public (in its privacy policy) a policy of not disclosing customer’s personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless the customer first affirmatively agrees to the disclosure, as long as the business maintains and discloses this policy. Rather, the business may comply with the law by notifying the customer of his or her right to prevent disclosure of personal information and providing a cost free means to exercise that right.
California customers may request further information about our compliance with this law by e-mailing nonasuteja@gmail.com. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year, and we are not required to respond to requests made by means other than through this e-mail address.
California Consumer Privacy Act
The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides California residents with certain additional rights regarding their personal information:
You have the right to know and see what information we have collected about you over the past 12 months, including:
o The categories of information we have collected about you;
o The categories of sources from which the information is collected;
o The business or commercial purpose for collecting your information;
o The categories of third parties with whom we have shared your information; and
o The specific pieces of information we have collected about you.
You have the right to request that we delete the information we have collected from you (and direct our service providers to do the same). There are a number of exceptions, however, that include, but are not limited to, when the information is necessary for us or a third party to do any of the following:
You have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising any of the CCPA rights listed above.
To request access to or deletion of your personal information, or to exercise any other rights under California law, or to request a copy of your personal information, please email us at nonasuteja@gmail.com with your request or mail us your request at Whip Networks, Inc., 1841 Centinela Ave., Santa Monica, CA 90404.
