Legal Bases for Use of Your Information

The laws of some jurisdictions, such as the European Union the UK, or Brazil, require companies to tell you about the legal basis for using, sharing, or disclosing your information. To the extent those laws apply, we may rely on the following legal bases:

Performance of a contract: where use of your information is necessary to provide you with Services under a contract, for example the relevant Terms of Service.
Legitimate interest: where use of your information is necessary for our or others legitimate interests and where the use is not outweighed by your rights and interests. Below are some examples of such interests:
- providing Services
- improving our Services and developing new ones
- recognizing and better understanding our users, including across platforms
- conducting security and fraud prevention activities
- marketing and promoting our content and services
- building and managing business-to-business relationships
- conducting compliance and risk management activities

YOUR RIGHTS

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights with respect to your information. You have the right not to be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising your rights under some local laws such as in California.

For example, under local laws, including in the European Union, you may be able to ask us to:

provide access to certain information we hold about you, in some cases in a portable format, if technically feasible
update or correct your information
delete certain information
restrict the use of your information

We will respond within the time period prescribed by applicable law. Please note that many of the above rights are subject to exceptions and limitations.

Some Services can only be provided if we have your information, therefore deletion of your information will result in termination of such Services.

We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity, including authenticating you through the email address. We may require further documentation such as a password and user ID before granting access to your information.

California residents with rights under the CCPA may email privacy@americasvoice.news or call (303) 339-7331 for access or deletion requests.

If you are based outside the U.S. and would like to exercise any individual right you may have please contact us at privacy@americasvoice.news. Please include “My Rights” in the subject line and provide a clear explanation of which right you are exercising and your country of residence in the body of the email.

Your rights and our responses will vary based on your state or country of residency. Please note that you may be located in a jurisdiction where we are not obligated, or are unable, to fulfill a request. In such a case, your request may not be fulfilled.

If you have any unresolved concerns, you may have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Where America’s Voice acts as a service provider for third-party organizations, please contact your organizations directly to exercise any applicable individual’s rights.

“Do Not Sell My Personal Information” (California Residents only)

California residents may opt out of the “sale” of their personal information. California law broadly defines “sale” in a way that may include allowing third parties to receive certain information such as cookies, IP address, device identifiers or other hashed identifiers, interests, browsing behavior and/or other activity to add to a profile about your device, browser, or you. This profile enables marketing to you and delivery of interest-based advertising on the Services or other sites. Advertising, including interest-based advertising, enables America’s Voice to provide you certain content for free and provide relevant offers to you.

Depending on what Services you use, we may share the following categories of information for such purposes which may be considered a sale (as defined by California law):

identification and demographics; device information and identifiers, such as IP address, and unique advertising identifiers and cookies; connection and usage information, such as browsing history or app usage; hashed identifiers (contact information), geolocation information, such as city; and inference data.

Incentive Programs (California Residents Only)

The Services may offer opportunities to receive certain services or benefits such as discounts or free or extended services (such as bonus streaming time or additional videos), which may require the provision of personal information. Such opportunities could be considered a financial incentive under applicable law (each, an “Incentive Program”). When you participate in an Incentive Program, you agree to the terms of that Incentive Program, and may revoke your participation depending on the Incentive Program (e.g., by opting out of emails or terminating a streaming service). To the extent we can determine the value of your information, we consider the value of providing you with a more personalized experience as well as the expenses we incur in providing Incentive Programs that are reasonably related to the costs associated with offering the Incentives.

Third Parties’ List – Shine the Light (California Residents only)

California residents can also request a list of all the third parties to which we have disclosed certain personal information (as defined by California’s Shine the Light law) during the preceding year for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes.
