These  log files are stored in a secure location and used in our internal analysis of traffic  patterns within our website. 

Use of Your Information 

Section Overview: Our primary goal in collecting, using, and sharing user  information is to enhance your experience on the Site, support the Site, and  improve its features, performance, and other elements. Your user information may  be used for the purposes outlined below. We will not use your user information  without a valid legal basis to do so. 

To Target Content and Advertising 

To develop and provide content and advertising to you that is targeted to your  interests, we use the analytics collected by the systems described above to  determine which areas of our website you prefer based upon the frequency of  your visits and engagement with those areas.  

We may make reasonable assumptions based on your browser provided data to  target relevant content and advertising to you on our site and elsewhere where we  may be acting as a 3rd party. We may also make reasonable geographic and  demographic assumptions based on your presented IP address to target relevant  content and advertising. 

To Provide Interactive Communications from the Site 

To enhance your experience we may provide you with interactive  communications, such as notifications of activity by topic or contributor to the email address that you provide to us. Such interactive communications are  provided only to those users who have expressly provided us with their  permission to receive them as part of their user profile. 

From time to time we may provide e-mails highlighting new features, promotions  or contests on the website to those users who have expressly provided us with  their permission to send such communications as part of their user profile. 

To Provide Communications from Third Parties 

We respect the privacy of our users and will not disclose or distribute our user list  to any third party, nor will we permit anyone else to do so. However, we do make  available for rental our list of those registrants who have expressly provided us  with their permission to receive third party offers as part of their user profile. In those cases, your e-mail address will be transferred to the third party. You can  remove your consent to this use or modify your related user information by  contacting Mama Glow as indicated below. 

Sharing of Information 

You may be requested to voluntarily provide certain user information during your  use of the Site. If you choose to do so, that user information may be shared with  Mama Glow as well as business partners and vendors providing hosting and other  services for Mama Glow. 

We use third parties to provide credit card processing, e-mail service providers  and hosting services on the Site. When you sign up for such services, we will  share your user information only as necessary for the third party to provide that  service. These third parties are prohibited from using your user information for  any other purpose. With respect to credit card processing, we do not collect, store,  or process any credit card information. If you do not want your information to be  shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer of your information by not using  that particular service. 

In addition, if you provide any personally identifiable information via an  advertiser promotion, please be aware you are directly providing your personally  identifiable information to that advertiser. 

From time-to-time we may provide you the opportunity to participate in contests  or surveys on our site. If you participate, we will request certain personally  identifiable information from you, such as your name and e-mail. Participation in  these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice  whether or not to disclose this information. We use this personally identifiable  information to notify contest winners and award prizes. 

We may use a third party service provider to conduct these surveys or contests;  that company will be prohibited from using our users’ personally identifiable  information for any other purpose. We will not share the personally identifiable  information you provide through a contest or survey with other third parties  unless we give you prior notice and choice. 

Optional Site Connection with Your Social Media Accounts 

As noted above, you can, or in the near future be able to, log in to our site using  sign-in services that bridge your social media login information with the Site.  These services will authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share  certain personal information with us such as your name and email address to pre-populate our sign up form. These services give you the option to post information  about your activities on this website to your profile page to share with others  within your network. The Site includes social media features, widgets and/or interactive mini-programs that run on our site. These features are small content  modules that users can embed on sites and may collect your IP address, which  page you are visiting on our site, or set a cookie to enable the feature to function  properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or  hosted directly on our website. Your interactions with these features are governed  by the privacy policy of the company providing it. 

We offer widgets that are hosted on the Site, like our embeddable video player.  Use of the MamaGlow.com widgets is subject to the Site https://mamaglow.com/terms-conditions/, but downloading or embedding these widgets  on other websites is not covered by this privacy statement. 

Aggregate, Anonymous Information with Advertisers 

Mama Glow derives the majority of its revenue on the Site from advertising and  sharing information is essential to keeping our services affordable to users. In  order to attract and retain advertisers we use the aggregated, anonymous  information that we gather (as well as information from third-party market  researchers) to describe our services to partners and to assist our advertisers and  sponsors to better understand our audience. We do not disclose personally  identifying information about our users to these parties. 

We partner with a third party ad network to either display advertising on our Web  site or to manage our advertising on other sites. Our ad network partner uses  cookies and Web beacons to collect non-personally identifiable information about  your activities on this and other Web sites to provide you targeted advertising  based upon your interests. 

If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you  targeted ads, you may opt-out or modify your choices by clicking here:  http://preferences-mgr.truste.com/ , or if located in the European Union  by clicking here: http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/ . Please note this does not  opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to receive generic  ads. 

As Necessary to Provide Services to You 

We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf,  such as handling the processing and delivery of newsletter mailings, processing  transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. We will only  provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service. In some instances, these companies may collect information directly from you. In these  cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the external service provider. In  all cases, these companies are subject to agreements that require them to maintain  the confidentiality of your information and they are prohibited from using that  information for any other purpose. 

In the Event of Sale or Bankruptcy 

The ownership of the Site may change at some point in the future. Should that  occur, we want this site to be able to maintain a relationship with you. In the event  of a sale, merger, public offering, bankruptcy or other change in control of Mama  Glow, your information may be shared with the person or business that owns or  controls this site. Opting out of receiving information from third parties will not  affect our right to transfer your information to a new owner, but your choices will  continue to be respected regarding the use of your information. You will be  notified as described below in “How will I know if the Privacy Statement is  changed.” 

As Required By Law 

Mama Glow may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law  such as to comply with a subpoena or in the good faith belief that such action is  necessary to conform to the edicts of the law, protect your safety or the safety of  others, investigate fraud or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal  process served on Us or to protect and defend the rights or property of the  Company. 

Notice to EU Individuals: As outlined in this Privacy Statement, Mama Glow will not process your user information without a lawful basis to do so, as such  bases are defined in Article 6 of the GDPR. In general, Mama Glow will process  your user information on the legal bases of consent, contract (if you have entered  into an agreement with us and such processing is a necessary part thereof), or  legal obligation (as noted above). Mama Glow may also process certain user  information on the basis of the following legitimate interests, provided that such  interests are not overridden by your privacy rights and interests: delivering and  continuing to develop and improve the Site, learning from your behavior on the  Site (e.g., analyzing traffic) to better serve you and other Site users, helping us  modify or enhance the Site and its content, receiving insight as to what users do  (and don’t) like about our Site or aspects thereof, and providing a stable,  consistent, and secure user experience in connection with the Site.
