Information We Collect

Information We Collect Automatically

When you use or interact with the Services, we may use a variety of technologies that automatically collect information about how the Services are accessed and used. This information may include:

your interactions with TMDB products (such as what you post, view, upload, download, rate and how interact with content);
TMDB API usage data;
location data (such as GPS data, zip code, and time zone);
personal information that may indirectly identify you (such as URL information, cookie data, and your IP address or MAC address);
data that is collected as you use our products, which may include network connection type and provider, and information related to searches on TMDB; and
API registration and use data.

TMDB Account Data

When you sign up for a TMDB account, you create a user profile that must include the following information: your email address. You may have also provided the following information: your name, street address, city, state, zip code, phone number(s) including mobile, gender and demographic information, social media profiles and information.

When you activate a TMDB account, we will also process and store your IP and MAC addresses which allow us to send information to your device and provide you with the Services.

Third-Party Application Data

You may integrate your TMDB account with certain third-party applications, social media sites, websites, and services (collectively, "Third-Party Applications"). These Third-Party Applications are governed by their own terms and conditions of use and privacy policies. In order to enable this functionality, you will be prompted to allow such Third-Party Applications to connect with your account. Once you have enabled this functionality, TMDB will collect, process, and share data with the Third-Party Application that you have authorized. If you enable your TMDB account with any Third-Party Applications, we may receive information related to your interactions with TMDB products through the Third-Party Application, as well as information about your publicly available activity on the Third-Party Application or information you have consented for the Third-Party Application to share with TMDB. If you wish to stop the collection or sharing of information with the specific Third-Party Application you have authorized, you need to disable the feature, cancel your applicable subscription, or manage your Third-Party Application account. TMDB does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for the behavior, features, or content of any Third-Party Application or for any transaction you may enter into through the use of any such Third-Party Applications.

Information we collect from your account on a Third-Party Application with your consent may include data about you and your friends from that service (such as what you or they have liked or shared). We may use cookies and other technologies to collect this information; you can learn more about such use in the Cookies and Similar Technologies section of this Privacy Policy.

TMDB Mobile Applications

If you use our products from a mobile device or through a mobile application, we may collect, either through your mobile device or the application itself, your mobile device identifier, hardware model, operating system version or mobile network information (as well as any registration data you provide to us). We may also collect general or precise geolocation information, which may be used for operational and product-related purposes, such as to customize information based on your location.

Customer Support Correspondence

Except as provided herein, when you contact (including, but not limited to, via email, or social media channels) our customer support team, we will collect and store the contact information you give them, information about your use of TMDB products, and the communications you have with the customer support team.

User Forums

You may be able to post information (including profile information, unless you designate it as private; as applicable) on areas of the Services that may be viewed by other users or the public. By posting information to areas that may be viewed by other users or the public, you consent to TMDB making that information public. We may display this content on any of the TMDB products and further distribute it to a wider audience through third-party sites or applications.

How We Use the Information We Collect

We may use the information we collect, including your personal information in the following ways:

to provide you with access to the Services, including account access, to process your registrations and subscriptions, and/or enable you to participate in the features (such as user forums);

as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy; and
with your consent or at your direction.

How We Disclose Your Information

TMDB discloses your information in the following ways:

User Consent or Direction

We may disclose your information at your direction, such as when you authorize a Third-Party Application to access your account. If you connect your TMDB account to a Third-Party Application, TMDB may automatically share your activity and actions-relation to a TMDB product with that Third-Party Application, including the content you view. We may also disclose you information to other third parties in cases where you direct us to do so.

Vendors

We engage vendors to perform functions and provide services to us in the United States and other countries. We use a variety of vendors to help TMDB provide the Services and to help us understand and improve the use of the Services. We may disclose your information with such vendors subject to obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Other Parties Where Required by Law

We may preserve or disclose your information if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to protect the safety of any person; to address fraud, security or technical issues; or to protect our, our users' or other parties' rights or property (where permitted by law). This includes exchanging information with other companies, organizations and/or law enforcement for fraud protection.

Business Transfers and Affiliates

In the event that we are involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, or due diligence in connection with evaluation of such activities, your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. We may also disclose information about you to our corporate affiliates in order to help provide, understand, and improve our and our affiliates' products and our Services.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

When you use the Services, we and our advertising partners may store and access information from your device, including using "cookies", clear GIFs (which are also sometimes called web bugs or web beacons) and browser details. We may collect information such as your browser type, the type of operating system you use, device identifiers, the domain name of your Internet service provider, IP address, pages visited on the site, Services used and how you have used them. We and our advertising partners do this for a variety of purposes. In the case of our advertising partners, one purpose may include the personalization of advertisements based on your visits to sites in that partner's network.

Your browser may offer tools to limit the use of cookies or to delete cookies; however, if you use these tools, the Services may not function as intended.

Please note there is currently no accepted standard to respond to Do Not Track signals and that at least some of the TMDB websites do not currently respond to a web browser's Do Not Track instructions. More information about Do Not Track can be found here.

Some analytics providers we partner with may provide specific opt-out mechanisms. For example, you may opt out of having Google Analytics use your information for analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Interest-Based Advertising

We may partner with ad networks and other ad serving providers ("Advertising Providers") that serve ads on our behalf and others' on non-affiliated platforms. Some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information that Advertising Providers collect about your use of the Services and other websites or apps over time, including information about relationships among different browsers and products. This type of advertising is known as interest-based advertising.

We adhere to the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") Self-Regulatory Principles in connection with this interest-based advertising activity. You may visit www.aboutads.info to learn more about this type of advertising and how to opt out of this advertising on websites by companies participating in the DAA self-regulatory program. For users located in Canada, please visit https://youradchoices.ca. If you delete your cookies or use a different browser or mobile product, you may need to renew your opt-out choices exercised through the DAA tool. Note that electing to opt out will not stop advertising from appearing in your browser or applications. It may make the ads you see less relevant to your interests. If you have enabled a legally recognized browser-based opt out preference signal (such as Global Privacy Control) on your browser, we recognize such preference in accordance and to the extent required by applicable law. You will need to turn this on for each browser you use.

Your Rights and Choices

Account & Subscription Management

You may access or modify your account with the Services by logging into your account.

Marketing Emails

If you do not want to receive marketing emails from us, you can change your email preferences by clicking on the "unsubscribe" link included in any marketing email you receive from us (though you will still receive certain account-related emails).

Depending on your jurisdiction, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Virginia, in addition to residents of the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you may have certain rights, in accordance with applicable privacy laws, associated with your "personal information" or "personal data" (as such terms are defined under applicable laws, and collectively referred to herein as "personal data").

Restrict or object to certain uses of your information.
Opt you out of the processing of your personal information for purposes of profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects, if applicable.

If you are a California or Oregon resident, you can also request information about the categories of personal data we collect or disclose about you. California residents can request categories of sources of such data; the business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal data; the categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information; and information about the financial incentives that we offer to such residents, if any. Such information is also set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Minnesota and Oregon residents can request a list of the specific third parties, other than natural persons, to which we have disclosed personal data.

Residents of certain other countries may be able to request one or more of the above types of information under applicable law.

California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Virginia residents also have the right to opt out of "sales" of your information and "sharing/processing of their information for targeted advertising" as described below. In certain jurisdictions, such as California and Oregon, you can request information about the categories of personal information we collect, disclose, or sell about you.

If you are a California resident, please see the "Notice to California Residents" section below for more information about our privacy practices and your rights as a California resident.

As provided in applicable law, you also have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights. Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we need certain information in order to provide the Services to you. We also need to take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request, which may include, at a minimum, depending on the sensitivity of the information you are requesting and the type of request you are making, verifying your name and email address.

To exercise any of these rights, please email us at privacyrequest@xperi.com with your name and type of request you are making [or fill out the form here]. You can also exercise your right to update/and or correct certain information we collect by logging into your account with the Services. You may also be permitted to designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf.

Depending on applicable law, including Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Texas, and Virginia, you may have the right to appeal our decision to deny your request, if applicable. To exercise such an appeal right, please email us at privacyrequest@xperi.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, if applicable.

Notice of Right to Opt Out of Sales of Personal Data and Processing/Sharing Personal Data for Targeted Advertising Purposes

If you are a resident of certain jurisdictions, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Minnesota, Montana, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Virginia, you have the right to opt out of "sales" of your information and "sharing/processing of your information for targeted advertising."

As explained in the "Interest-Based Advertising" section above, we sometimes disclose information to unaffiliated third parties that we collaborate with or that provide offers that we think may be of value to you. We also provide personal data to third-party advertising providers for targeted advertising purposes. Under applicable law, the disclosure of your personal data to these third parties to assist us in providing these services may be considered a "sale" of personal data or the processing/sharing of personal data for targeted advertising purposes.

If you would like to opt out of the disclosure of your personal data for purposes that could be considered "sales" for those third parties' own commercial purposes, or "sharing" or processing for purposes of targeted advertising through cookies and similar technologies, please click on the "Your Privacy Choices" link in the footer of our website.

Please note that we do not knowingly sell or share for targeted advertising the personal data of individuals under 16 years of age.

Notice to California Residents

If you are a California resident, California law requires us to provide you with some additional information regarding how we collect, use, and disclose your "personal information" as that term is defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"). This section solely applies to California residents.

We describe the categories of information we collect, our business purposes for collecting such information, the sources and uses of such information, and the entities to which we disclose such information in the "Information We Collect," "How We Use the Information We Collect," and "How We Disclose Your Information" sections of this Policy. We provide additional information required by the CCPA below.

Categories of personal information we collect, use, and disclose.

Throughout this Policy, we discuss in detail the types of personal information we collect from and about users and discuss how we use and disclose such information. The following are the "categories" of personal information under the CCPA that we collect from California consumers and that we may, as discussed throughout this Policy, use and disclose for our business purposes:

Identifiers (such as name, address, email address); commercial information (such as transaction data); financial data (such as credit card information); device identifiers (such as IP address and unique device identifiers); internet or other network or device activity (such as browsing history or app usage); general geolocation data from IP addresses and precise geolocation information when you use an applicable TMDB app; physical characteristics, such as if you voluntarily submit a photo or video; characteristics of potentially protected classifications, such as gender, and marital status; any user-generated content or feedback that you provide; professional or employment related data; and other information that identifies or can be reasonably associated with you.

How we use these categories of personal information.

We and our service providers may use the categories of personal information we collect from and about you for the following business and commercial purposes (as those terms are defined in applicable law).

Our or our service providers' operational purposes;
Auditing consumer interactions on our site (e.g., measuring ad impressions);
Detecting, protecting against, and prosecuting security incidents and fraudulent or illegal activity;
Bug detection and error reporting;
Customizing content that we or our service providers display on the Services (e.g., contextual ads);
Providing the Services (e.g., account servicing and maintenance, customer service, advertising and marketing, analytics, and communication about the Services);
Improving our existing Services and developing new services (e.g., by conducting research to develop new products or features);
Other uses that advance our commercial or economic interests, such as third-party advertising and communicating with you about relevant offers from third party partners;
Other uses about which we notify you.

Examples of these types of uses are discussed in our main privacy policy in the "How We Use the Information We Collect" section. We may also use the categories of personal information for compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and we may combine the information we collect ("aggregate") or remove pieces of information ("de-identify") to limit or prevent identification of any user or device.

Categories of personal information we disclose for business purposes.

We may disclose the following categories of information about you or your use of our Services to service providers for business purposes (as defined by applicable law) or as required by applicable law:

Identifiers (such as name, address, email address); commercial information (such as transaction data); financial data (such as credit card information); device identifiers (such as IP address and unique device identifiers); internet or other network or device activity (such as browsing history or app usage); general geolocation data from IP addresses and precise geolocation information when you use an applicable app; biometric information that may be collected when you visit one of our venues; physical characteristics, such as if you voluntarily submit a photo or video; characteristics of potentially protected classifications, such as gender, and marital status; any user-generated content or feedback that you provide; professional or employment related data; and other information that identifies or can be reasonably associated with you.

We may also disclose this information to third parties for legal, compliance or security purposes, or in connection with a business transfer, as described further in the "How We Disclose Your Information" section above.

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 to whom we disclose 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;
correct inaccurate personal 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. In order for an authorized agent to be verified, you must provide the authorized agent with signed, written permission to make such requests or a power of attorney. We may also follow up with you to verify your identity before processing the authorized agent's request.

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 (please note that the form provided at the link in this paragraph is the same form provided above) or contact us at privacyrequest@xperi.com with "CCPA Rights" in the subject line.

Shine the Light

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents to request certain information regarding disclosure of personal information to third parties for the third parties' own direct marketing purposes. We do not share personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes and therefore Shine the Light requests do not apply.

Transfer to Other Countries

TMDB transfers, processes, and stores information about our users on servers located in a number of countries. Accordingly, some of your personal information may be used by us and our affiliates, subsidiaries and our suppliers who may be located in countries outside the country where you are located for the purposes outlined in this Policy. The data protection laws in these countries may not offer the same level of protection as those in the country where you are located. Information collected within the European Economic Area (EEA) may, for example, be transferred and processed by third parties, located in a country outside of the EEA, where you may have fewer legal rights in relation to your information. Similarly, information collected within Canada may be transferred and processed by TMDB or third parties in a country outside of Canada. By using the Services or otherwise providing your personal information to us you understand and expressly consent to TMDB and its business associates and suppliers processing your data in any jurisdiction, including without limitation the United States of America, in accordance with this Policy.

Data Protection Authority

If you are a resident of the EEA and believe we maintain your personal data within the scope of the General Data Protection Regulation, you may direct questions or complaints to privacyrequest@xperi.com. Subject to applicable law, you may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. If the TMDB data protection officer for EMEA region is unable to help you, we suggest you refer to your local privacy regulator for help.

Children

The Services are not directed to children under the age of 18 and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information or personal data from children under 18. If we learn that we have inadvertently gathered personally identifiable information from a child under 18, we will take reasonable measures to remove that information from our records. If you are a parent of a child under age 18 and become aware that your child has provided personally identifiable information to TMDB, please contact us at privacyrequest@xperi.com. If you are a California resident under the age of 18 and you wish to remove publicly available content, please contact us at privacyrequest@xperi.com.

How Long We Keep Your Information

How long we retain your information depends on why we collected it, how we use it and legal regulations. We will not retain your personal information for longer than is necessary for our business purposes, to meet your request or for legal requirements. When no longer required, we will destroy, erase or de-identify the information. Legal requirements may necessitate that we retain some or all of the personal information we hold for a period of time that is longer than we might otherwise hold it.

Security 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 cannot guarantee that communications between you and our servers will be free from unauthorized access by third parties or that we will not be subject to security breaches. We will have no liability for disclosure of personal information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized or unlawful acts of third parties.

You are responsible for the security of your username, ID and password for any of the Services. Please take care when using and storing them.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Policy online on this page, and if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of privacy policy changes) where required by law. It is your responsibility to read this Privacy Policy carefully and review any changes that may have been made. Because changes will be posted on this page, we encourage you to check this page regularly.

Questions

If you have any questions about this policy, please send an email to privacyrequest@xperi.com, or send a letter to TMDB Attn: TMDB Privacy Officer, Legal Department, 2190 Gold Street, San Jose, CA 95002-2160.
