INFORMATION WE COLLECT, GENERALLY: 

‍

We collect information to offer personalized experiences for you, to improve the service for you and others, and, to support our free offerings to you, to show you advertisements that may be relevant for you. We may also receive information about you from third parties and from the devices you use with our service. The information we collect includes:

‍

Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you provide directly to us when you use our service, including but not limited to ratings you offer, viewing preferences you identify, and, depending on the platform you use, your account settings.

‍

Automatic Information: Our service can automatically collect and store certain types of information, including:

• your activity on our service, such as your content selections, the shows you watch, the advertisements you see, and your search history.
• Information about how you interact with our marketing messaging and emails and the advertisements shown to you.
• Device information, such as device IDs or other unique identifiers and the type of device you use to access our service (e.g. mobile device, laptop, smart TV), and networking configurations and devices (like your router).
• The IP address associated with your access to our service, which can be used to tell us your general location, such as your city, state/province, and postal code.

‍

• Information from Other Sources: We may also receive information that may pertain to you from third parties such as:
• device providers who make our service available on their devices.
• service providers who help us determine a location based on your IP address in order to customize our service, enforce media digital rights, and ensure data security.
• security service providers that help us protect our systems.
• advertisers and their service providers who facilitate the sale, delivery, operation, and management of advertisements, and advertising measurement companies (“Ad Measurement Companies”).
• social media platforms and public databases associating IP addresses with internet service providers (ISPs).

‍

VIEWING INFORMATION SERVICE

‍

On Smart TVs, our service includes "Automatic Content Recognition" or “ACR”. When you enable ACR, you enable us to better personalize your experience on the Smart TV with your Viewing Information which includes information about shows you watch, advertisements and other publicly available content displayed through the Smart TV, and unique identifiers about your Smart TV, including the IP Address, the TV source you are using (e.g., HDMI), the settings on your TV (e.g., language), and the geographical location such as city, state, and country where the TV is located. The Viewing Information also includes information about your use of our streaming applications and is sometimes enhanced with household demographic data and other data associated with an IP address. 

‍

What do we do with it?

‍

Anoki may use Viewing Information to:

• Provide content personalization and recommendation of content
• Generate summary analysis and reports on how users engage with content and our service
• Tailor advertising content you may see
• Measure success of advertising campaigns and otherwise support our marketing efforts
• Share with our authorized third parties 
• Improve the type of advertising for features, products, and services that might be of interest to you

‍

What does this mean for you?

‍

In addition to providing you with better content personalization and recommendation on our service, use of Viewing Information also enables Anoki and its authorized partners to deliver advertising that Is relevant to your profile and that you might find useful, both on the device on which you use our service and any other of your devices that shares the same IP address. It is also used to help content publishers, broadcasters, or content distributors to create or recommend more relevant content based on insights and reports derived from that information. 

‍

How do you opt out of ACR?

‍

Depending on your TV version, you can either go to the “Google TV Settings – Privacy – Anoki Viewing Information Service” page or to the “Android TV Settings – Device preferences – About - Legal information – Anoki Viewing Information Service” page to opt out of the Service.

‍

• Provide localized content using your geographic location (such as your city, state/province, and postal code).
• Secure our systems and prevent fraud.
• Communicate with you. Depending on the platform that you use and your choices, and where we have collected contact information from you, we may use that information to communicate with you, but we will provide opt out mechanisms for your receipt of those communications as required by applicable law.
