B. Information That is Passively and/or Automatically Collected

(i) Device/Usage Information

We may automatically collect certain information about the computer or devices (including mobile devices) you use to access the Services.  As described further below, we may collect and analyze information such as (a) IP addresses, geo-location information, unique device identifiers and other information about your computer or mobile phone or other mobile device(s), browser types, browser language, operating system, the state or country from which you accessed the Services; and (b) information related to the ways in which you interact with the Services, such as: referring and exit pages and URLs, platform type, the number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages and content viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, the date and time you used the Services, the frequency of your use of the Services, error logs, and other similar information.  As described further below, we may use third-party analytics providers and technologies, including cookies and similar tools, to assist in collecting this information.

 

(ii) Location Information

We also may automatically collect location information, including general location information (e.g., IP address, zip code) from your computer or mobile device.  If you access the Services through a mobile device, we may ask you to share your precise geo-location information so that we can deliver customized content and advertising.  We and our service providers may also collect other information based on your location and your device’s proximity to “beacons” and other similar indoor proximity systems, including, for example, the strength of the signal between the “beacon” and your device and the duration that your device is near the “beacon”.  The type of location data we collect depends on a number of factors, including the type of device you are using (e.g., laptop, smartphone, tablet) and the type of connection enabled on your device (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, broadband, cable, or cellular).  The Services rely on this location information, including geo-fencing technology, in order to provide certain location-based services, content, promotional offers and other information that may be of interest to you or that may be available to you based on your subscriptions to Services we provide.  We may also use location information to improve the functionality of the Services and our other products and services.  If you do not wish to have this location information collected and used by the MSG Family and its service providers, you may disable the location and Bluetooth features on your device.  Please note that, if you disable such features, you will not be able to access or receive some or all of the services, content, features and/or products made available via the Services.  To deliver customized content and advertising, we may share your location information, including geo-location information, with our agents, vendors, or advertisers.

(iii) Cookies and Other Electronic Technologies

We may also collect data about your use of the Services through the use of web server logs, cookies and/or tracking pixels. A web server log is a file where website activity is stored.  A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer when you visit a website, that enables us to: (i) recognize your computer; (ii) store your preferences and settings; (iii) understand the web pages of MSG Family’s Services you have visited; (iv) enhance your user experience by delivering content specific to your interests; (v) perform searches and analytics; and (vi) assist with security administrative functions. Some cookies are placed in your browser cache, while those associated with Flash technologies are stored with your Adobe Flash Player files.

Please note that you can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether. Please consult the “Help” section of your browser for more information (e.g., Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Apple Safari). You can also manage the use of Flash technologies, including cookies, with the Flash management tools available at Adobe’s website. Please note that by blocking any or all cookies, you may not have access to certain features or offerings of the Services.

We use third parties to assist us in serving advertisements, tracking aggregated and/or anonymized site usage statistics, and providing content-sharing services to support the Services.

We do not control these third-party technologies, and their use is governed by those parties’ policies.

6. PERSONALIZED CONTENT AND ADVERTISING AND YOUR CHOICES

A. Online Analytics

We may use third-party web analytics services on our Services, such as those of Google Analytics. These service providers use the sort of technology previously described in the “Information We Collect” section to help us analyze how users use the Services including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive. The information (including your IP address) collected by the technology will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Services. We also use Google Analytics for certain purposes related to advertising, as described in the following section. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser  Add-on by clicking here.

B. Tailored Advertising

We may personalize the content and advertising that you see when using the Services through the use of third-party advertising technologies that allow for the delivery of relevant content and advertising on MSG Family’s websites or applications, as well as other websites you visit and other applications you use. The ads may be based on various factors such as the content of the page you are visiting, information you provide such as your age and gender, your searches, demographic data, user-generated content, and other information we collect from you. These ads may be based on your current activity or your activity over time and may be tailored to your interests.

Also, third parties whose products or services are accessible or advertised via the Services may also place cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device to collect information about your use of the Services in order to (i) inform, optimize, and serve ads based on past visits to our websites and other sites and (ii) report how our ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to our websites and use of our Services. We also allow other third parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google Analytics, DoubleClick, Facebook, TikTok and others) to serve tailored ads to you on the Services, and to access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Services. We also may share with third-party advertisers a hashed version of your email address, solely in non-human readable form and content that you share publicly when using the Services (e.g. user-generated content) for purposes of delivering tailored advertising. We neither have access to, nor does this Policy govern, the use of cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Services by non-affiliated, third-party ad technology, ad servers, ad networks or any other non-affiliated third parties. Those parties that use these technologies may offer you a way to opt out of ad targeting as described below.  You may rexeive tailored advertising on your computer through a web browser. If you are interested in more information about tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored advertising, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link  or TRUSTe’s Advertising Choices Page to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. You may also use the links available in advertisements that appear in the Services and learn more about our advertising practices through the About Our Ads link available through the Services.

To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page. Please note that to the extent advertising technology is integrated into the Services, you may still receive advertisements even if you opt out of tailored advertising. In that case, the ads will just not be tailored. Also, we do not control any of the above opt-out links and are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms.

When using a mobile application, you may also receive tailored in-application advertisements. Each operating system, iOS for Apple phones, Android for Android devices and Windows for Microsoft devices provides its own instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-application advertisements. You may review the support materials and/or the privacy settings for the respective operating systems in order to opt-out of tailored in-application advertisements. For any other devices and/or operating systems, please visit the privacy settings for the applicable device or contact the applicable platform operator. We do not control how the applicable platform operator allows you to control receiving personalized in-application advertisements; thus, you should contact the platform provider for further details on opting out of tailored in-application advertisements.

If you use different devices (e.g., home or work computer, laptop, table, mobile phone, connected television or other Internet-connected device) to access our Services, we may be able to associate you with each of your devices through our participation in the Adobe Marketing Device Co-Op. This service allows us to better understand how you use our Services across the various devices that you use, and to deliver you tailored advertisements. You can visit here to learn more about how Adobe does this and to manage your choices relating to this linking of devices.

Please note that to the extent advertising technology is integrated into the Services, you may still receive advertisements even if you opt-out. In that case, the advertising will not be tailored to your interests.  

7. CALIFORNIA ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT NOTICE CONCERNING “DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS”

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers.  DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services.  We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on the Services for third party purposes, and that is why we provide links to the  Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance, opt-out pages, as well as choices provided by Google Ads and Google Analytics. However, we do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT. To learn more about Do Not Track, you can do so here.

8. YOUR DATA RIGHTS AND CHOICES

You can update certain information and make certain privacy choices by logging into the relevant portions of MSG Family or third-party websites and apps or as otherwise instructed by us.  For example:

  • You can update and/or correct certain information collected by the MSG Family by visiting your account page(s) or emailing us at privacychoices@msg.com with “Update/Correct My Info” in the subject line.  If a member name and password are required to access the feature, you will need to provide such information to update your registration information.  If you have forgotten your password, you may obtain it by visiting the registration area and requesting that a hint be sent to you at the email address you originally provided during registration.
  • To view and manage notifications and preferences relating to our apps, including certain options regarding the collection and use of location data, visit the settings menu of the app and of your operating system.
  • You can unsubscribe from certain emails by clicking the “unsubscribe” link they contain.

  • You can opt out of certain cookie-related processing by following the instructions in the section above entitled “Personalized Content and Advertising and Your Choices.
  • Individuals in the EEA and the United Kingdom and some other jurisdictions outside the United States have certain legal rights to obtain confirmation of whether we hold personal data about them, to access personal data we hold about them (including, in some cases, in portable form), and to obtain its correction, update, amendment or deletion in appropriate circumstances.  They may also object to our uses or disclosures of personal data, to request a restriction on its processing, or withdraw any consent, though such actions typically will not have retroactive effect.  They also will not affect our ability to continue processing data in lawful ways (for example, if you opt out of the use of your telephone number for direct marketing, we might still contact you by phone regarding potential fraudulent use of your account). 
  • For clarity, individuals in the EEA and the United Kingdom have the right (subject to verification and authentication) to opt out of all of our processing of their personal data for direct marketing purposes.  To exercise this right, they may contact us as at privacychoices@msg.com with “EEA/UK Opt-Out” in the subject line.

The rights and options described above are subject to limitations and exceptions under applicable law. In addition to those rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.  However, we encourage you to contact us first, and we will do our very best to resolve your concern.

Under the CCPA, sale is defined such that it may include allowing third parties to receive certain information, such as cookies, IP address, and/or browsing behavior, to deliver targeted advertising on the Services or other services.  Advertising, including targeted advertising, enables us to provide you certain content for free and allows us to provide you offers relevant to you.  If you would like to opt out of our use of your information for such purposes that are considered a “sale” under California law, you may do so as outlined on the following page: Do Not Sell My Personal Information.  

E . California Privacy Rights.

California residents can make certain requests about their personal information under the CCPA.  Specifically, if you are a California resident, you may request that we:

  • provide you with information about: the categories of personal information we collect, disclose or sell about you; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we share personal information.  Such information is also set forth in this Privacy Policy;
  • provide access to and/or a copy of certain information we hold about you;
  • delete certain information we have about you; and/or
  • provide you with information about the financial incentives that we offer to you, if any.

California residents can also designate an authorized agent to make access and/or deletion requests on their behalf.

We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request for access and/or deletion from you or your designated agent.  If we are unable to verify you, we may be unable to respond to your requests.

The CCPA further provides you with the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising your rights. 

Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under California law.  For example, we need certain information in order to provide the Services to you. 

If you are a California resident and would like to exercise any of your legal rights under the CCPA, please use our online consumer request form here, or contact us at privacychoices@msg.com with “CCPA Rights” in the subject line.

F. Shine the Light.

California Law permits customers who are California residents to request certain information once per year regarding our disclosure of “personal information” (as that term is defined under applicable California law) to third parties for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes.  To make such a request, please send an email to privacychoices@msg.com with “REMOVE Third Parties” in the subject line.

G. Additional California Rights for Minors

If you are a California resident under the age of 18 and are a registered User of our Services, you may request that we remove from our Services any content you post to our Services that can be accessed by any other User (whether registered or not).  Please note that any content that is removed from our Services may remain on our servers and in our systems.  To request removal of content under this provision, please send an email to privacychoices@msg.com with “California Minors Opt-Out” in the subject line and provide us with a description of the content and the location of the content on our Services, and any other information that we may require in order to consider your request.  Please note that removal of content under this provision does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Services by you.

10. PRIVACY INFORMATION FOR NEVADA RESIDENTS

Under Nevada law, certain Nevada consumers may opt out of the sale of “covered information” for monetary consideration.  We do not sell “covered information as defined under Nevada law; however, if you are a Nevada resident who has purchased services from us, you may submit a request to opt out of any potential future sales by sending a request to privacychoices@msg.com with “Nevada Opt-Out” in the subject line.  Please note we may take reasonable steps to verify your identity and the authenticity of the request.  Once verified, we will maintain your request in the event that our practices change. 

Links to third-party websites, applications and other services may be made available through the Services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such third-party services. Any information you provide via those services is subject to the applicable privacy policies and is not covered by this Policy.

12. SECURITY AND RETENTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

We have implemented administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and/or alteration of your information.  These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect and store.  However, we cannot and do not guarantee that these measures will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose your information since despite our efforts, no Internet and/or other electronic transmissions can be completely secure.

We generally retain personal data for so long as it may be relevant to the purposes above.  To dispose of your information, we may anonymize it, delete it or take other appropriate steps.  Data may persist in copies made for backup and business continuity purposes for additional time. 

13. INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN

The Services are not directed to children under the age of 16. If we discover we have received any “personal information” (as defined under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) from a child under the age of 13 in violation of this Policy, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information as quickly as possible.  If you believe the MSG Family has any information from or about anyone under the age of 16, please contact us at the address listed below.

For residents of the EEA, where processing of personal information is based on consent, the MSG Family will not knowingly engage in that processing for users under the age of consent established by applicable data protection law.  If we learn that we are engaged in that processing with such users, we will halt such processing and will take reasonable measures to promptly remove applicable information from our records.
