The following Privacy Policy is designed to inform you, as a user of the site, about the types of personal information that DoubleKnown may gather about or collect from you. It also is intended to explain the conditions under which DoubleKnown uses and discloses that personal information, and your rights in relation to that personal information.

The website is subject to U.S. state and federal law. If you are accessing our website from other jurisdictions, please be advised that you are transferring your personal information to us in the United States, and by using our website, you are agreeing to that transfer and use of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You also agree to abide by the applicable laws concerning your use of the site and your agreements with us. 

Your Personal Information

When you browse our site, you are voluntarily sharing personal information with us. This personal information also includes various data that we collect automatically. This may be the user’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type and the locations of the sites the user views right before arriving at, while navigating and immediately after leaving. It may also include various technical aspects of a user's computer or browser and users browsing habits that are collected through cookies. DoubleKnown may analyze this personal information gathered from or about users to help it better understand how the website is used and how to make it better. By identifying patterns and trends in usage, we are able to better design the website to improve users’ experiences, both in terms of content and ease of use. 

When we believe disclosure is appropriate, we may disclose your information to help investigate, prevent or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property or safety of DoubleKnown, our users, our employees or others; to comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement; to enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements or policies, in response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us. We will notify you if permitted before undertaking such disclosures.

DoubleKnown reserves the right to transfer all information in its possession to a successor organization in the event of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or other sale of all or a portion of DoubleKnown’s assets. Other than to the extent ordered by a bankruptcy or other court, the use and disclosure of all transferred information will be subject to this Privacy Policy, or to a new policy if you are given notice of that new policy and are given an opportunity to affirmatively opt-out of it.

A “cookie” is a small text file that is placed onto an Internet user’s web browser or device and is used to remember and/or obtain information about the user. A “web beacon” is a small object or image that is embedded into a web page, application, or email and is used to track activity. They are also sometimes referred to as pixels and tags.  

As you use our website, some information can be “passively” collected using various technologies (including mobile devices), such as cookies, web beacons and navigational and location data collection (clickstream, log files, server logs). Your Internet browser automatically transmits some of this information, such as the URL of the website you just visited, the Internet Protocol (IP) address and browser version currently being used by your computer, or user’s interaction with our site (such as date, time, frequency and length of visits, and pages accessed). 

If you do not wish to have cookies placed on your computer, you should set your browser to refuse cookies before using our website, with the drawback that certain features may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

You can refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. Note, however, that by not accepting or deleting the use of cookies, you may affect your website experience and you may not be able to take full advantage of all features on this website. Most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable existing cookies. Please consult the “Help” section of your browser for more information.

To find more information about cookies and for instructions on how to disable them please visit www.allaboutcookies.org or visit the help section of your browser.  Most browsers are initially set to allow cookies, but also offer the option to restrict cookies or warn you of their use.
