Subject to change. Last updated: January 29, 2021

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, stored, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from EH Media’s Network of Web Sites (this “site” including prosoundweb.com, roboticsbusinessreview.com, robobusiness.com, channelpronetwork.com, channelproevents.com, iotplaybook.com, findbiometrics.com, and mobileidworld.com.)

Your Information: What Data We Collect and How We Collect It

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your device, web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

“Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For example, we utilize cookies to limit the frequency with which you may see a particular advertisement, or to prevent submitting a response to a survey or quiz if you had already completed it. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

“Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, pages consumed, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps. In addition, we use a 3rd party- Google Analytics to collect, monitor, and analyze this data so that we can better understand how visitors use our web sites. This data is also anonymized and cannot be traced back to an individual user.

“Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record anonymous information about how you browse the Site. For more information about this technology and how it is used please visit the online advertising glossary at: https://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/glos.

Many of our sites require you to provide certain information about yourself when you register to use the site and when you request access to downloadable resources, our products and/or services. We also collect information when you participate in contests and surveys, when you respond to requests for feedback and when you submit postings to public areas of this Site (e.g., comments, blogs, moderated discussions and forums/message boards). The information we collect may include information from which you may be personally identified (“Personally Identifiable Information”), such as name, postal address, telephone number, fax number and e-mail address, and certain business information such as employer name, occupation, job function, job title and buying information (e.g., preferences or history). This Site only collects Personally Identifiable Information with your knowledge. This applies to information collected on our sites directly, and information collected at branded landing pages (not necessarily owned and operated by EH Media LLC).

Some of the materials included on this Site, including advertising, may be served by third parties. These third parties, in the course of serving such materials, may collect information regarding your use of this Site and how you respond to e-mail communications, using methods that may include automatic data collection, and may use this information in order to present advertisements or other content that may be of interest to you on both this Site and on other web sites. Collection, use, disclosure and security of information collected by third parties are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties. If you would like more information about this practice or to opt out of having this information used by certain third-party ad servers to provide targeted ads, please visit: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated?hl=en.

You also may view the privacy policy of Google Ad Manager (Google, LLC), a third party that serves ads to our web sites, at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, credit card payment information, email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

We also use Device Information such as cookies, beacons, tags and pixels to extend relevant advertising opportunities to other 3rd party web sites you may visit such as Facebook. Please see the BEHAVIOURAL ADVERTISING section below for more information.

We may also use Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address).

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site. This includes processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with order confirmations, invoices, and cancellation notices. Additionally, we use this Order Information to communicate with you, screen our orders for potential risk or fraud, and (when in line with the permissions you have granted us) provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.

We use any Personally Identifiable Information collected on this Site for the following purposes:

To provide you with this Site and other products and services
To respond to your inquiries and contact you about changes regarding the Site
To provide you with e-mail, fax and other notices (such as expiration and renewal notices) regarding your account and the products or services that you are receiving, and for billing and collection purposes if applicable.

Rights for California Consumers

The California Consumer Privacy Act, Civ. Code §1798.100 et. seq. (“CCPA”), grants California residents certain rights relative to their personal information:

California residents may take advantage of the following rights by requesting that we:

Disclose the categories of personal information we have collected about that consumer.
Disclose the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected.
Describe the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information.
Provide a list of the categories of third parties with whom we share personal information.
List the specific pieces of personal information it has collected about that consumer.

Delete certain information we have in our records about you.

California consumers who wish to exercise any of the rights listed directly above may submit a request for data access here or send a request via email to CPO@ehmedia.com.

Given the sensitive nature of accessing personal data pursuant to a consumer’s request, we will take reasonable steps to verify the identity of the party making the request before responding. Steps to verify identity may include, at a minimum, confirming the name, email address, and physical address.

Alternatively, an authorized agent may exercise CCPA rights on behalf of a California consumer. Authorized agents must provide signed documentation with written permission or a power of attorney. We may follow up with the California consumer whose data is being accessed before processing the agent’s request.

California consumers have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising their CCPA rights.

If we are asked to delete certain personal information pursuant to CCPA, Section 1798.105, that information will no longer be accessible.

California residents may opt out of the “sale” of their personal information—as defined by CCPA Section 1798.140, subdivision (t)—by submitting a “do not sell my personal information” request or sending an email to CPO@ehmedia.com.
