By visiting and/or by using any of the Services, you agree to the terms of the present Policy.

MediaValet’s Privacy Policy is part of its wider terms of service that also include our Terms and Conditions.

Scope
This Policy applies to the handling of personal information and to other non-identifiable information gathered by MediaValet when you are using or accessing the Services. It does not apply to any applications or websites developed by third parties that MediaValet does not own or control (“Third-Party Apps”). If you follow a link to a third-party website, that third party will have its own privacy policies, which you should review before submitting any personal information.

What types of Personal Information do we collect, and how?
When used in this Policy, personal information means “any information about an identifiable individual”. We limit the collection of personal information to what is reasonably required to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. We collect personal information, as defined below, in a variety of ways either directly from you, automatically through our websites and mobile applications or from other sources.

Directly from you

When you create a MediaValet account and then update your user profile, we may collect some personal information such as:

  • name, username, and email address;
  • password, in connection with your account and your log-in facility;
  • geographic area where you use your computer and mobile devices; and
  • other optional information as part of your account profile.

MediaValet may also gather personal information via various methods (phone, email, online forms, in-person meetings) should you voluntarily communicate such information to us.

Through Our Websites and our Platforms
System and Device Information
MediaValet automatically collects and receives certain information from your computer or mobile device, including the activities you perform while using the Services, the type of hardware and software you are using (such as, your operating system or browser), and information obtained from cookies (see “Cookies and Related Technologies” below). For example, each time you visit the Website or otherwise use the Services, we automatically collect your IP address, browser and device type, access times, the web page from which you came, the regions from which you navigate the web page, and the web page(s) you access (as applicable) (collectively referred to as “traffic data”). We may link this traffic and usage data to your unique MediaValet user ID to better understand your needs and the needs of users, diagnose problems, analyze trends, provide services, improve the features and usability of our Services, and better understand and market to our customers and website users.

MediaValet also makes use of non-identifiable information gathered for statistical purposes to keep track of the number of visits to the Services and Website pages in order to introducing improvements and improve usability of our Services. We may share this type of statistical data so that our partners may also understand how often people use our Services, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal experience.

Cookies and Related Technologies
MediaValet uses tracking technology (“cookies”) on the Website, in the Applications, and in the Products. By visiting the Website or using the Services you agree to the use of cookies in your browser and HTML-based emails. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a web site, in order to track use of the Services and to improve your user experience. For more information, you can consult our Cookie Policy.

From Other Sources
We may receive personal information from other sources with your consent, such as from our Affiliates and Business Partners, or if the law requires or permits us to do so (e.g., to meet our anti-money laundering compliance or other legal and regulatory obligations).

In order to ensure the accuracy of the contact information that you provide us, such as your name, email address and phone number, we may retain the services of a service provider to verify and, if necessary, update, complete or otherwise supplement your contact information by providing us with such additional information. This helps us protect you against error and fraud, and to manage our business operations by ensuring that we can reach you in case of an issue in connection with our programs, products or services, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law, as described below in the “How Do We Use Personal Information” section.

How do we use your Personal Information
MediaValet uses the collected information for the following purposes:

  • To provide you with the Services, including upgrades and related services and support;
  • To maintaining business relationships and communicating with you as a business contact, about MediaValet’s activities and services;
  • To provide you with targeted advertising to promote our Services, if you have shown such interest;
  • To trace any fraudulent or criminal activity or any activity in violation of the Terms, and thus, prevent unauthorized access to your personal information.

When do We Share your Personal Information?
Except as provided in this Policy, MediaValet does not share any personal information gathered via the Services to third parties. As such, we may share information we have collected about you or that you have submitted when authorized by law, with our partners and service providers that are retained to perform work on our behalf or who participate in the provision of our services, as well as in the context of a business transaction.

MediaValet may transfer your personal information to third party service providers, partners and affiliates located abroad, including in the United States. These service providers assist us with the operation of the Website and the provision of our Services as well as with our marketing and business communications effort. As a result, your personal information may be accessed by the courts, law enforcement and public authorities of such countries pursuant to local legislation.

Terms used in this California notice have the meaning ascribed to them in the CCPA. We are a “business”, and “Personal information” for the purposes of this section has the same meaning as in the CCPA. For purposes of this California notice, personal information does not include deidentified information, aggregate consumer information, or publicly available information as those terms are defined in the CCPA.

California Residents’ Rights under the CCPA
The CCPA provides California Residents with certain rights related to their personal information. This section explains those rights.

How to Exercise Your CCPA Rights
If you are a California Resident and would like to exercise any of the CCPA rights identified above, you may submit a request by writing to privacy@mediavalet.com.

We are required to provide certain information or to delete personal information only in response to verifiable requests made by you or your legally authorized agent. When you submit a Right to Know or a Right to Delete request, we may ask that you provide clarifying or identifying information to verify your request. Such information may include, at a minimum, depending on the sensitivity of the information you are requesting and the type of request you are making, [your name and email address.] Any information gathered as part of the verification process will be used for verification purposes only.

You are permitted to designate an authorized agent to submit a Right to Know or a Right to Delete request on your behalf and have that authorized agent submit the request through the aforementioned methods. We may deny requests from authorized agents who do not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf. We may also require that you directly verify your own identity with us and directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

We will deliver responses to verifiable consumer requests, free of charge, either through your online account with us, if you have such an account already, or, if you do not have a pre-existing online account, by mail or electronically, at your election. Our goal is to respond to any verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of our receipt of such request. We will inform you in writing if we cannot meet that timeline. Keep in mind that we are not required to provide information in response to Right to Know requests more than twice in a 12-month period and any response to a Request to Know will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable request.
