Introduction

The Scholar Web, together with our affiliated companies, provides content via our Website and email communications. We also operate as a marketing and data company. In this capacity, we collect information that enables advertisers to target specific audience segments through various channels: online advertising, in-app placements, email marketing, telemarketing campaigns, and other promotional channels. Our marketing operations involve the collection, disclosure to third parties, and sale of individual consumer information, and we deliver advertising services that track consumer behavior across different websites and apps to serve targeted ads.

Each version maintains the key compliance elements (data collection, sharing, selling, cross-context behavioral advertising, and multiple advertising channels) while varying the tone and structure.

When you visit The Scholar Web, we collect personal information from you, and you may also provide information to us. This privacy policy addresses that information and explains our practices for its collection, use, maintenance, and disclosure. Our terms of service contain additional information about our website.

Read this policy carefully—it explains our policies and practices for your personal information. Don’t agree? Then please don’t use our website or sign up for our emails. Using this website or interacting with our other services means you accept this privacy policy.

We do not directly collect Sensitive Personal Information, which includes data relating to race or ethnicity, religion, precise geolocation, LGBTQ+ identity, health conditions, financial account information, or citizenship status. However, we may indirectly receive information through automated technologies such as cookies that track visits to certain web pages, potentially indicating interest in sensitive subject areas. For instance, engagement with content related to specific ethnic groups or medical topics may suggest such interests. These inferences are not made by us but may be drawn by affiliated companies or third parties with whom information is shared. If state or local law requires consent to process Sensitive Personal Information, our affiliates will not make sensitive inferences.

What We Do With Your Data

We use personal information to send you newsletters that you request and to provide content or marketing messages by email or via other channels. We also share your personal information with our partner companies, who may also send you marketing messages by email or otherwise. You can opt out here. Our use of your personal information may be considered “cross context behavioral advertising” in some cases.

When We Share Personal Information

We sell or share personal information with our affiliated group of companies and with our clients for marketing uses, including cross context behavioral advertising. We also share personal information with contracted service providers, for advertising, web hosting, fraud detection, analytics, information security, or similar services. When we share data, we put contracts in place with all recipients of our data to ensure appropriate data security measures and compliance with laws. We also share personal information where we are required to do so by law (for example, in response to a warrant or court order), or to protect the health, safety, or rights of any person.

From time to time, personal information may be shared with law enforcement, regulatory authorities, courts, government agencies, or other third parties to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful governmental requests, protect individuals or property, or enforce our rights under applicable agreements, including billing and collection activities. Personal information may also be disclosed in the context of corporate transactions, such as mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations, or asset sales, where user data forms part of the transferred assets.

If you agree to the sharing of your information, we may provide personal information to third parties for purposes that were disclosed to you at the time of collection or described in this policy.

Cross Context Behavioral Advertising, Analytics, and Data Sharing

We share personal information obtained through this website with other companies (“third parties”) who show you online advertisements on this or other sites, and also use personal information for analytics and reporting purposes concerning those advertisements. These companies use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to collect information about the web pages you visit and the advertisements you view or click, and may combine this with personal information from other sources (including data brokers) and share it with other third parties for the same purposes (also known as “cross-context behavioral advertising”). We (and our partners) collect your IP address, date and time of your visit to the website, or of actions you take here, your Internet Service Provider (ISP), and the browser type and version you use to visit this website. This information may be combined with personal information from other sources and used to deliver advertising from us or from other companies through email, on apps, websites, social media sites, or by other channels. We also use personal information to analyze how you interact with this site and its advertisements so we can continue to improve your experience.

We also deploy web beacons, tags, or pixels across our Website, emails, and affiliated sites to monitor user engagement, measure content effectiveness, and maintain system reliability.

Global Privacy Control / Do Not Track Mechanisms

We process Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signals and other universal opt-out preference signals as valid opt-out requests for the sale and sharing of personal information. When we detect these signals from your browser or device, we will automatically opt you out of the sale and sharing of personal information, without requiring account creation or verification.. Our practices are not intended to track every site you view online. You may block or remove cookies through your browser’s settings whenever you wish. If you opt out of tracking or use a browser-based “Do Not Track” signal, including GPC, an opt-out cookie is stored on your browser to prevent certain data collection. If you later delete this cookie or adjust your GPC settings, automated data collection may begin again.
