This Statement does not apply to websites and services that are owned and operated by third parties.
This Statement went into effect on the date noted at the top of this webpage. We may update this Statement from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the updated Statement on this page and change the date at the top of this Statement webpage. We encourage you to look for updates and changes to this Statement by checking this date when you access our websites, applications, and services.

Information We Collect
As you use our websites and applications or are exposed to an ad or promotional message provided by Bulzī, we collect information about you and the services you use. The information we collect falls into three different categories: (1) information you give us; (2) information we collect from you automatically; and (3) information we collect from other sources.
Information You Give Us
Some information we collect is provided when you give us your first and last name, email address, postal address, phone number, job title, company or any other information you provide when contacting us through a website or application.
Information We Collect Automatically
We collect some information automatically, including when you access our websites, download and use our applications, or view an ad or promotion provided by Bulzī. This information includes:
Device and Usage Information – We may collect information about your browser or device. This information may include the type of device you are using, your operating system, your browser, your internet service provider, your domain name, your internet protocol (IP) address, your device and mobile ad identifiers, the website that referred you to our website, the web pages you view (including the date and time you viewed them), the services or functionality you access or use (including the date and time of your access or use), and information about the ads you view, click or scroll over. To collect this information, we use cookies, web beacons, wired and wireless communication networks, and similar technologies. To the extent any of the information we automatically collect about you is considered “personally identifiable” under the set of self-regulatory guidelines published by the Network Advertising Initiative (the “NAI Code”), such data is encrypted and either anonymized or pseudonymized immediately after collection so that you as an individual person cannot be directly identified by the data. We do not store, process, or use personally identifiable of yours or any other person without opt-in consent.
Location Information –We may collect information about the location of your device, including GPS location, for purposes of responding to you, enhancing or facilitating our services, or enabling the functionality of our websites, applications and ad delivery platform. We may also use information about the location of the device you are using to deliver more relevant advertising. Unless you have opted in to Bulzī collecting your precise location data (see next section), location information we collect from you is anonymized, pseudonymized, aggregated and/or otherwise processed to ensures it is not “precise” location data under the NAI Code or Personal Information under GDPR. If you want to opt out of the collection of this location information, please see the section below titled "Your Choices".
Information We Collect from Other Sources
Some information we collect is publicly available. We may also collect information about you from other companies and organizations. We use this data to correct inaccurate information in our records, improve your experience with our websites, applications and services, tailor ads to your interests, and give you product recommendations and special offers that are more likely to interest you.
How We Collect Your Information Automatically
Bulzī and others may use a variety of technologies to collect information about your device and use of websites and applications. These technologies include cookies, web beacons, java scripts, entity tags, wired and wireless communication networks, and HTML local storage. Most web browsers and devices can be set to accept or reject the use of some or all of these technologies, although you must take additional steps to disable or control other technologies. For more information, please see "Your Choices".
Cookies – Cookies are small data files that are sent from a website’s server and are stored on your device’s hard drive either for only the duration of your visit ("session cookies") or for a fixed period ("persistent cookies"). Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server.
Web Beacons – Web beacons are small, transparent images that are embedded in web pages, applications, and emails that are sometimes called “clear gifs," “single pixel gifs", or "page tags". Web beacons are used to track the web pages you visit, to test the effectiveness of our marketing, and to find out if an email has been opened and acted on.
Java Scripts – Java scripts are code snippets embedded in various parts of websites and applications that facilitate a variety of operations including accelerating the refresh speed of certain functionality or monitoring usage of various online components.
Entity Tags – Entity Tags are HTTP code mechanisms that allow portions of websites to be stored or “cached" within your browser and validates these caches when the website is opened, accelerating website performance since the web server does not need to send a full response if the content has not changed.
Wired and Wireless Communication Networks – Communication networks routinely pass the browser and device identifiers they use to identify an end user to third parties they interact with, such as passing user information along with an ad request to a digital advertising exchange. Communication network identifiers commonly exchanged between networks and their partners include IP address, Wi-Fi MAC address, Bluetooth Device ID and mobile device ID.
HTML5 Local Storage – HTML5 local storage allows data from websites to be stored or “cached" within your browser to store and retrieve data in HTML5 pages when the website is revisited.
How We Use Your Information
Information collected through these and similar technologies are used for the following purposes:
Services – Some of these technologies are required to allow you to access and use our websites, applications and/or services. Without these technologies, some of the services and functionality of our websites, applications and services would not work properly.
Performance Monitoring – Some of these technologies help us analyze and estimate traffic and assess the volume of use of our websites, and applications and services. They show us how visitors and customers interact with our digital properties, whether there are any errors, the degree to which certain web pages, applications, or services are accessed and used and how they are performing or operating. When these technologies are used for performance monitoring, no information that identifies you is collected.
Marketing – Some of these technologies are used to tailor your experience on our websites, within our mobile applications, or across your applications or devices by influencing the promotions, advertisements and other marketing messages that may appear when you access or use these or other digital properties. We may use this information when you visit a website, use an application, or visit a location where we serve ads to send you relevant promotions and advertisements.
Internal Business Purposes – We may also use the information we collect about you for a variety of routine internal purposes including but not limited to responding to your inquiries and requests for information, to detect, prevent, or investigate security breaches or fraud, and to maintain appropriate records for internal administrative and archival purposes.
How We Share Your Information
We may share your information in the following circumstances:
When We Work Together – We may share information between and among Bulzī, our subsidiaries, and affiliated companies for purposes of management and analysis, decision making, and other business purposes.
When We Work with Service Providers – We may share your information with service providers that provide us with support services, such as website hosting, email and postal delivery, location mapping, product and service delivery, analytics services, or conducting academic research.
When We Work on Business Transactions – If we become involved with a merger or another situation involving the transfer of some or all of our business assets, we may share your information with business entities or people involved in the negotiation or transfer.
When Sharing Helps Us Protect Lawful Interests – We may disclose your information if we believe that the disclosure is required by law, if we believe that the disclosure is necessary to enforce our agreements or policies, or if we believe that the disclosure will help us protect the rights, property, or safety of Bulzī or our customers or partners.
When We Work with Marketing Service Providers – We may share your information with marketing service providers to assess, develop and provide you with promotions and special offers that may interest you, or for other promotional purposes.
When the Information Does Not Identify You – We may share your information in a way that does not directly identify you. For example, we may share information about your use of our websites and mobile applications in a manner that does not identify you or may combine information about the nature or frequency of your transactions with similar information about other people and share the aggregated information for statistical analysis, audience-based ad targeting, and other business purposes.
How We May Allow Others to Collect Your Information
When you use our websites, applications, or services, we may allow third parties to collect device, usage, and location information across your different devices through software development kits, cookies, web beacons, communication networks, and other similar technologies. If you have opted-out from Bulzī data collection, that choice applies to any third party who collects data through our websites, applications or services. These third parties collect your information for the following purposes and for other purposes consistent with their own privacy policies:
To Display Ads for Products or Services – We allow some advertising companies to collect your information in order to display ads that are most relevant to you across your different devices and on our own and others’ websites, applications and devices.
To Understand the Use of Our Services – We allow certain service providers to collect your information to help us understand how our websites, applications and services are used, and to assist us in improving the content and operation of online properties owned by Bulzī and our service providers. These service providers collect aggregate statistical usage data that is not matched or linked to any individual user.
To Make the Services of Other Companies Work on Our Websites – We may allow companies to use cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies to enhance the operations of particular services and functionality of our websites, applications, and services. For example, we allow Adobe to set and enable special cookies that are necessary to deliver video content for Adobe Flash Player. These cookies are called Flash cookies.
How We Protect Your Information
Bulzī protects your information using technical, physical, and administrative security measures to reduce the risk of loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure or modification of your information while it is being transmitted across communication networks, stored, and used for the purposes described in this Statement. While we have employed security technologies and procedures to assist in safeguarding your personal information, no system or network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Adobe Flash Player Technology – We allow Adobe to set and enable special cookies that are necessary to deliver video content for Adobe Flash Player. You cannot remove Flash cookies simply by changing your browser settings.
