1. SCOPE AND APPLICATION
PBC (“PBC” or “we”) wants you to be familiar with how we collect, use and disclose information from and about you. This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with information collected through services such as websites, mobile sites, applications (“apps”), and widgets (collectively, the “PBC Services”). California residents, please see the California Consumer Privacy Act Notice in Section 9 below. Consumers in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and states with other similar privacy laws, please see Section 10 below. By using PBC Services, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. A list of our affiliated companies (“PBC Affiliates”) is available at www.foxcorporation.com.
This Privacy Policy applies to all users, including both those who use the PBC Services without being registered with the PBC Services and those who have registered with the PBC Services. This Privacy Policy applies to PBC’s collection and use of your personal information (i.e., information that identifies a specific person, such as full name or e-mail address). It also describes generally Company’s practices for handling non-personal information (for example, interests, demographics, and services usage).
PBC does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 13, except with respect to certain types of Activity Information (described below) which is used only to support the internal operations of the PBC Services. For more information, please see our Children’s Privacy Policy in Section 6 below. Accordingly, on some of the PBC Services, children under 13 are not eligible to use certain features. The portions of the PBC Services that are intended for children under 13 are governed by our Children’s Privacy Policy.
2. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
Depending on your interactions with us, PBC and our service providers may collect the following information from and about you:
Registration Information. The information you submit to register for the PBC Services, for example, to create an account, receive a newsletter, or enter a contest or sweepstakes. Registration Information may also include, for example, name, e-mail address, gender, and birthday.
Information from Social Media. If you access or log-in to the PBC Services through a social media service or connect the PBC Services to a social media 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, e-mail address or friends lists, and any information you have made public in connection with that social media service. When you access the PBC Services through social media services or when you connect the PBC Services to social media services, you are authorizing PBC to collect, store, and use such information and content in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Activity Information. When you access and interact with the PBC Services, PBC and its service providers may collect certain information about those visits. For example, in order to permit your connection to the PBC Services, our servers receive and record information about your computer, device, and browser, including potentially your IP address, browser type, and other software or hardware information. If you access the PBC Services from a mobile or other device, we may collect a unique device identifier assigned to that device, geolocation data (including your precise location), or other transactional information for that device.
Cookies and other tracking technologies (such as browser cookies, pixels, beacons, local storage, and other mechanisms) use various approaches to collect and store data. Some of these technologies store data in the browser or on your device. Other technologies may use network-related or other information to recognize your device (e.g., IP address). PBC’s websites, apps and other services use these technologies, for example, when you first request a web page and data is then stored on your computer or other device so the website or app can access information when you make subsequent requests for pages from that service. These technologies may also be used to collect and store information about your usage of the PBC Services, such as pages you have visited, search history, and the video and other content you have viewed.
Other parties that support the PBC Services by serving advertisements or providing services, such as allowing you to share content or tracking aggregate PBC Services usage statistics, may also use these technologies to collect similar information when you use the PBC Services (such as websites or e-mails) or other parties’ services. Those parties may also use these technologies, along with activity information they collect, to recognize you across the devices you use, such as a mobile device and a laptop or other computer. PBC does not control these technologies and their use is governed by the privacy policies of parties using such technologies. For more information about third-party advertising networks and similar entities that use these technologies, including your choices with respect to them, see the section entitled “To deliver relevant advertisements,” below.
Your browser may be initially set to accept cookies, but you can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, and to block cookies altogether. Please consult the “Help” section of your browser for more information, including on how to clear data from local storage and, depending on your browser, how to turn off other data collection by the browser.

To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, please go to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Please note that by blocking any or all cookies you may not have access to certain features, content or personalization available through the PBC Services.
Information from Other Sources. We may supplement the information we collect with information from other sources, such as publicly available information about your online and offline activity from social media services, advertising technology companies, advertisers, commercially available sources, and information from our Company Affiliates or business partners.
Depending on your interactions with us, PBC may not have collected information from you for each of the categories above.
“Do Not Track”. At this time we do not respond to the “Do Not Track” signal, as we await the work of interested stakeholders and others to develop standards for how the “Do Not Track” signal should be interpreted.

6. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
The privacy of children is important to us. This Children’s Privacy Policy explains how PBC collects, uses, and discloses personal information, as defined by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), of children under the age of 13 that is collected through the PBC Services. This policy also explains the rights that parents have with respect to their children’s personal information.
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION: PBC and our service providers may collect the following information from and about children:
Persistent Identifiers. When a child accesses and interacts with PBC Services, we may collect persistent identifiers for our internal operations. For example, in order to permit a child’s connection to the PBC Services, our servers receive and record certain information about their computer, device, and/or browser, including IP address or unique device identifier.
Cookies and other tracking technologies (such as pixels, beacons, and local storage technology, including cookies) are comprised of small bits of data that often include a unique identifier. Websites, apps, and other services send this data to a child’s browser or device when they first request a web page and then store the data on the child’s device so the website can access the information when the child makes subsequent requests for pages from that service. These technologies may also be used to collect and store information about a child’s usage of PBC Services, such as pages visited, content viewed, search queries run and advertisements served.
Other parties that support PBC Services by delivering contextual advertisements or providing services, such as compiling aggregate PBC Service usage statistics, may also use these technologies to collect similar information.
USE AND DISCLOSURE: PBC uses the information we collect to provide the PBC Services and features, including: to measure and improve those PBC Services and features; to improve the child’s experience with PBC Services by delivering contextual advertising and limiting the number of times a child sees an advertisement on the PBC Services; to provide the child with customer support and to respond to inquiries. When the information collected from or about a child does not identify them as a specific person, we may use that information for any purpose or share it with third parties.
We use the information we collect from and about children for these additional purposes:
To allow service providers to assist us in providing and managing the PBC Services. PBC may make a child’s information available to certain third-party service providers, such as contractors, agents or sponsors, who help us manage or provide the PBC Services.
To deliver contextual advertisements. PBC and our service providers may use the information we collect from and about a child to deliver contextual ads to them when they use the PBC Services, and to limit the number of times a particular ad is shown.
To protect the rights of PBC and others. There may be instances when PBC may disclose a child’s information, including situations where PBC has a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary in order to: (i) protect, enforce, or defend the legal rights, privacy, safety, or property of PBC, PBC Affiliates or our or their employees, agents and contractors (including enforcement of our agreements and our terms of use); (ii) protect the safety, privacy, and security of users of the PBC Services or members of the public; (iii) protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; (iv) comply with the law or legal process; or (v) respond to requests from public and government authorities.
To complete a merger or sale of assets. If PBC sells all or part of its business or makes a sale or transfer of its assets or is otherwise involved in a merger or transfer of all or a material part of its business, PBC may transfer children’s information to the party or parties involved in the transaction as part of that transaction.
PARENTAL ACCESS AND CONTROL: If you would like to review the personal information that your child has provided to us, or if you would like to ask us to cease collecting personal information from your child, make no further use of the personal information we have collected from your child, make no further disclosure of your child’s personal information to third parties, or delete the personal information we have already collected from the child, you may contact us as outlined in Section 8. In your request, please include your name and your child’s name, e-mail address, and PBC device ID (how to find it), and specify clearly the action you would like us to take. We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable.
If you have questions, please contact us by the methods provided below in Section 8
7. OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The United States and other countries’ data protection laws may not be the same as those in your jurisdiction. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in the United States may be entitled to access your personal information.
Linked Services. The PBC Services may be linked to sites operated by unaffiliated companies, and may carry advertisements or offer content, functionality, games, newsletters, contests or sweepstakes, or applications developed and maintained by unaffiliated companies. PBC is not responsible for the privacy practices of unaffiliated companies, and once you leave the PBC Services or click an advertisement, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the other service.

Remember that even after you cancel your account, or if you ask us to delete your personal information, copies of some information from your account may remain viewable in some circumstances where, for example, you have shared information with social media or other services. Because of the nature of caching technology, your account may not be instantly inaccessible to others. We may also retain backup information related to your account on our servers for some time after cancellation or your request for deletion, for fraud detection or to comply with applicable law or our internal security or recordkeeping policies. It may not always be possible to completely remove or delete all of your information due to technical constraints or contractual, financial or legal requirements.
