A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Website, that site's computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Browsers are usually set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you may alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of our site will not function as effectively when viewed. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive or pass on computer viruses.
As you visit and browse ihiveLIVE, ihiveLIVE uses cookies to differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent you from having to log in more than is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting the ihiveLIVE and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback to constantly improve the ihiveLIVE and better serve its Members.

WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH AND WHY

Subject to what is indicated in this privacy policy or unless we have previously obtained your consent, we may communicate your personal data with people employed by our company or our service providers (for example, our web agencies which manage certain online operations on our behalf) and / or business partners for the purposes mentioned in this policy or our Terms of Service, and only to the extent necessary for the performance of the tasks entrusted to them. These people may have to contact you directly using the contact details you have given us. Please note that we strictly require our service providers to use your personal data only to manage the services we ask them to provide. We also ask these providers to always act in accordance with applicable laws regarding the protection of personal data and to pay particular attention to the confidentiality of this data.
We only share your information with third parties when we believe the sharing is permitted by you, reasonably necessary to offer our services, or when legally required to do so.
For example:

• As described elsewhere in this privacy policy, we may share information with Affiliates, merchants, charities and other causes you have selected.
• We may share aggregated information or information that does not directly identify you with third parties to help us develop content, services, and advertising that we hope you will find of interest. Please note that we do not share contact information with third parties that advertise on the services unless you have an agreement with those third parties to permit such sharing.
• We may share your personal information with our authorized service providers that perform certain services on our behalf. These service providers may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but are not permitted to share or use such information for any other purposes. We require all of our service providers to comply with the safeguards described in this policy.
• We may employ third parties to perform services-related services, including database management, maintenance services, analytics, marketing, data processing, and email and text message distribution. These third parties have access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf.
• We may share information about you in the event that our services are acquired by or merged with another company or a similar corporate transaction takes place. Before your information is transferred and becomes subject to another party’s privacy policy, we will notify you by placing a prominent notice on our site or sending a notice to the primary email address specified in your account.
• We may share information about you to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety or other rights and interests of any person, violations of our Terms of Service, or as otherwise required by law.
• We may share information about you to respond to court orders, search warrants, judicial proceedings, subpoenas, legal process, or other law enforcement measures, to establish or exercise our legal rights, or to defend against legal claims.
• In addition to the scenarios identified above, we may share information about you for any other purposes disclosed to you at the time we collect your information or pursuant to your consent.

Information collected by third-party advertising companies. We may allow third-party advertising companies, including ad networks, to display advertisements. These companies may use tracking technologies, such as cookies, to collect anonymous information about users who view or interact with their advertisements. Our website does not provide any personal information to these third parties, but they may collect information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw and/or clicked on the advertisements they deliver, and possibly associate this information with your subsequent visits to the advertised websites. They also may combine this information with personal information they collect from you. The collection and use of that information is subject to the third-party's privacy policy. This information allows them to deliver targeted advertisements and gauge their effectiveness. Some of these third-party advertising companies may be advertising networks that are members of the Network Advertising Initiative, which offers a single location to opt out of ad targeting from member companies (www.networkadvertising.org).
Our business partners. With your consent, we may also share your personal information with businesses with which we partner to offer you products, services, promotions, contests and/or sweepstakes through our Services, such as discounted hotel stays or special dining offers. If you are interested in these offers, the business partners will be identified to you at the time you purchase or decide to participate in an offer or program being offered through them. When you elect to engage in a particular merchant's offer or program, you authorize us to provide your email address, billing and other information relevant to the offer or program to that merchant. These businesses may use your personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies. If you want to learn about a particular merchant's privacy policies, or you do not want to receive communications from a particular merchant, then you must contact that merchant directly. Your personal information is only provided to those businesses whose offers you elect to participate in and not to other businesses advertising on our Services.
To help improve or promote our services. Sometimes we share aggregated information with third parties to help improve or promote our services. But we only do so in such a way that no individual user can be identified or linked to any specific action or information.
To provide you with services. We may provide information to service providers that help us bring you the services we offer. For example, we may use third parties to help host our website, send out email updates about our Services, remove repetitive information from our user lists, process payments, or provide search results or links (including sponsored links). These service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time, but when this occurs, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections to limit their use of that information to helping us provide the service.
To advertise our services. We may ask advertisers outside of our Services to display ads promoting our services. We may ask them to deliver those ads based on the presence of a cookie, but in doing so will not share any other information with the advertiser.
To offer joint services. We may provide services jointly with other companies. If you use these services, we may share your information to facilitate that service. However, we will identify the partner and present the joint service provider’s privacy policy to you before you use that service.
To respond to legal requests and prevent harm. We may disclose information pursuant to subpoenas, court orders, or other requests (including criminal and civil matters) if we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law, or to establish or exercise our legal rights, or to defend against legal claims. This may include respecting requests from jurisdictions outside of Canada where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law under the local laws in that jurisdiction, apply to users from that jurisdiction, and are consistent with generally accepted international standards. We may also share information when we have a good faith belief it is necessary to prevent fraud or other illegal activity, to prevent imminent bodily harm, or to protect ourselves and you from people violating our policies, Terms of Service, and to protect us and other users of our services. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, courts or other government entities.
You agree that in the event we receive an order issued by a court or from a law enforcement or government agency, we shall comply with such orders without your consent or prior notice to you and may disclose your IP address, username, name, IP location or other information in response thereto.
In connection with a substantial corporate transaction, such as the sale of our business, a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy. Any third parties to whom we may disclose personal information may only use and disclose your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy unless you otherwise consent. In addition to the scenarios identified above, we may share information about you for any other purposes disclosed to you at the time we collect your information or pursuant to your consent.

Industry regulatory disclosure requirements

Europe:

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) lays out specific requirements for businesses and organizations who are established in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or who serve users in the EEA. It regulates how businesses can collect, use, and store personal data.
Where we act as a processor of personal data, we make available data processing terms, reflecting the controller-processor relationship, where required.
The European Commission has approved the use of model contract clauses as a means of ensuring adequate protection when transferring data outside of the EEA [see: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_en]. By incorporating model contract clauses into a contract established between the parties transferring data, personal data can be protected when transferred outside the EEA to countries which have not been deemed by the European Commission to adequately protect personal data. Canada and the United States of America have been recognized as providing adequate protection.
We have incorporated standard contractual clauses referenced for use for compliance with 2010/87/EU where applicable (ie. outside of countries recognized by the European Commission as providing adequate protection) as found at: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32010D0087

California:

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a new data privacy law which applies to certain businesses that collect personal information from California residents. The new law went into effect on January 1, 2020. The law includes a provision that gives California residents the right to opt out of the "sale" of their "personal information" through a prominent link that says "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" on the "selling" party’s homepage. The CCPA includes certain exceptions to the definition of "sale", including transfers to "service providers". This information is subject to change from time to time as regulations are updated.
Under California Law SB 27, California residents have the right to receive, once a year, information about third parties with whom we have shared information about you or your family for their marketing purposes during the previous calendar year, and a description of the categories of personal information shared. To make such a request, please send an email to the email address we provided in this Privacy Policy and please include the phrase “California Privacy Request” in the subject line, and provide us with your name, address and email address. We will respond to you within thirty days of receiving such a request. We may provide this information in a standard format that is not specific to you.
