Updated: August 26, 2020

Introduction

This Privacy Policy (the “Policy” or “Policies”) contains information on which data we, Bingie, Inc. (“we”, “our” or “us”), collect from users of the service, how we use and share that information, and the ways in which you can control how we use and share that information that we provide through Bingie.tv and our mobile application (the “Service”).  

You should read this Policy closely because it applies to all users, whether the user has an account or not and whether they are human or a machine, like a bot (collectively, “users”). By accessing our website or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these Policies.

Our Service allows you to comment, chat, share and otherwise make available (“post”) certain information, text, and other material ("Content"). Our Terms of Service hold you responsible for the Content that you post, including the legality, reliability, and appropriateness of your posts.

This Policy dictates how your data is collected, processed, shared and protected.

Types of Data Collected

Bingie collects some personal data about its users and may use third party services like Apple ID to help do so, and the data may be automatically collected, required from you by us, or supplied by you voluntarily. 

Some examples of “Personal Data” include basic registration information such as your email address, first and last name, birth date, user ID and password, and digital information recorded automatically. 

Unless specified otherwise, all Personal Data requested is mandatory and failure to provide it, especially cookies and other tracking data, may make it difficult or impossible for us to provide our Service to you. If you are uncertain about which Personal Data is mandatory you are welcome to contact us.

Other examples of Personal Data we may collect from you are:

• Registration Information: When you register, we ask you to provide certain information, which includes your email address, first and last name, birth date, user ID and password;

• Viewing Activity: When you use the Service, we keep track of your viewing activity, which may include the number and title of movies and shows you have viewed and how long you have viewed;

• Community Posting: You have the ability to post comments, images and information in community networking features available on or accessible through the Service. You should be aware that any information you submit in the course of these community activities can be read, collected, or used by other users of these parts of the Service. We caution you against posting your Personal Data or the Personal Data of any other person or third-party through our Service because it may be public. If you do so, you are confirming that you have the consent of that third party and you agree that we cannot be held liable for the information you choose to make public in any of the community networking features available on or through the Service;

• Technical Data: As is true of many internet-enabled services, Bingie may collect certain technical information through the use of log files and servers. Web and application servers create log files automatically as part of their setup and configuration. Information in a log file may include IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, date/time stamps, Media Access Control (MAC) address, file requested, and other usage information and statistics;

• Device Information: If you access and use the Service from a computer, mobile phone, tablet or other electronic device, we may collect information about those devices. For example, our servers receive and store information about your computer and browser, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, and other related software or hardware information. If you access the Service from a mobile phone, tablet, or other electronic device, we may collect and store information such as device type, operating system version and type, unique identifiers (such as MAC address) and other related information for that device;

• Location Information: We may also collect location information from devices you use while accessing the Bingie Service. Depending on the device and operating system, device-based location information may be derived from GPS and nearby wireless signals such as cell towers, Wi-Fi networks, and Bluetooth beacons. We will not collect your device-based location information unless you have permitted the Bingie app to access location services on your device. You can disable this access at any time in your system settings. Additionally, in some cases, your location within a geographic block may be approximated from the IP address currently assigned to your device; and

• Survey and Research Information: If you choose to participate in surveys or other research, we will collect any information you choose to provide us, together with other data about your use of the Bingie Service.

Types of Information We Receive or Collect from Third Parties

We may receive or collect information about you from third parties, and combine and store it on our servers with other information we may have already received or collected from you. These third parties include:

• Service partners that provide or make available advertising, features and functionality, and content on or through the Service;

• Advertising entities such as advertisers and advertising agencies that collect and maintain information on their customers. These third parties may provide Bingie with certain information about those customers for the purposes of serving advertisements and/or marketing offers to their customers on the Bingie Service;

• Marketing companies and data providers that create, maintain, and distribute professional marketing lists or segments, or maintain and distribute other marketing, or similar data.

• Governmental or quasi-governmental agencies or organizations that provide or make available, to the public, census and demographic data;

• Third-party social media websites, applications, or services that you use, when we allow those websites, applications, or services to interact through the Service to provide personalized services to you. In some cases, those websites, applications, or services may automatically provide us with information about you to facilitate personalization unless you use the controls available on those websites, applications, or services to opt-out of such sharing; and

• People who store or post information about you on the community features of the Bingie Service, or by your enabling connectivity with another website, application, or service where friends or other viewers store such information. For instance, your friends may store information about you in places such as their friend lists, address books, or photos on our Service or other websites, applications, or services such as social media applications with which the Bingie Service interacts.

Bingie is not responsible for, and will assume no liability, if a business partner or other entity collects, uses, or shares any information about you in violation of its own privacy policy or any applicable laws, rules, or agreements.

How We Collect Information and Information Technologies

• User provided information: Bingie collects information directly from users such as Registration Information and Content.

• Our use of Cookies: Bingie uses a technology that is commonly known as "cookies." A cookie is a file our server writes to your hard drive that contains an alphanumeric identifier. We use the identifier in a cookie to help us manage and report on your interaction with the Service. Through cookies, we are able to collect information that we use to improve the Service, keep count of return visits to our website or our advertisers' or partners' websites, collect and report on aggregate statistical information, authenticate your login credentials, or manage multiple instances of the Service in a single browser. We may also collect other data such as the page or site that referred you to the Service, the date and time you visited the Service, and your current IP address. The cookies we place on your hard drive are known as "first-party cookies." We use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You may be able to remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your browser's "help" section. If you do not accept first-party cookies you may still use our Service, but your ability to use some areas of our website, and the ability to stay logged in, will be limited.

• Advertisers and other Third Parties Use of Cookies: Advertisers and other third-party advertising entities that deliver ads to you on the Service may place or recognize a unique cookie on your hard drive. These types of non-Bingie cookies are known as third-party cookies. Advertising entities may use third-party cookies in order to collect information about you, which may include how many times you have seen their ads or whether you have interacted with an ad. They may also use third-party cookies to provide you with interest-based advertising. Most major web browsers provide users with the option to accept or reject third-party cookies. The use of third-party cookies is not covered by this privacy policy. We do not have access to or control over cookies placed by advertisers and other third parties.

• Beacons and Tracking Pixels: Bingie, its third-party advertising entities, and tracking-utility partners employ a technology known as "beacons" or "tracking pixels" (each, a "Beacon"). A Beacon is a one-pixel-by-one-pixel clear image that is embedded in HTML content and is about the size of a period at the end of a sentence. When HTML content containing a Beacon is rendered, the Beacon transmits information to a server, such as a numeric count, unique identifier, or IP address. Bingie and its partners use Beacons to help us better manage content on our Service. For example, we may place a Beacon in HTML-based emails to let us know which emails recipients have opened, or on a webpage to count the number of unique visitors to that page. The use of a Beacon may also allow us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and of our marketing campaigns.

• HTML5 and Flask Local Storage:  Bingie and its advertising and technology partners may, in some instances, use HTML5 and/or Flash Local Storage (collectively, "Local Storage") to enhance your viewing and advertising experiences on the Service. For example, we use Local Storage to keep track of the current movie or show is playing in the event your browser window reloads inadvertently, that way we can continue playing that movie or show starting at the same position it was prior to reload. Our advertising and technology partners may use Local Storage to detect your bandwidth speeds for optimal video playback performance. Each browser implements HTML5 Local Storage differently and provides tools for managing content stored within local storage. You can review your browser's privacy settings to manage the content stored within HTML5 Local Storage. Similarly, for more information on how to manage content stored with Flash Local Storage, please review this document provided by Adobe [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html].
