If you have any questions about our privacy policies and practices, we encourage you to contact us via the contact information provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.

  1. Information We Collect About You and How We Use It.

    We collect information that is necessary to provide and improve our Services, to communicate with you, to conduct our operations effectively, and to support customer relations. Information collected may include:

    While most of this data come directly from you, such as information you provide when you sign up for Services or information we gather when you use our Services, we sometimes receive information from third parties such as:

    • Service providers that help us determine your device’s location based on its IP address to customize certain products to your location.

    We protect data obtained from third parties according to the practices described in this Privacy Policy, plus any additional restrictions imposed by the source of the data. When you are asked to provide personal information, you may decline. But if you choose not to provide information that is necessary to provide a service, you may not be able to use that service.

    Our services are not targeted at children and we do not intentionally or knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

    When using our Services, you may provide us with information about third persons which we may also collect. These circumstances might arise if you use our Services to connect with friends, family, or colleagues or if you use our Services to share content, including comments and criticisms, and this content contains personal information about third persons that is stored in order to permit sharing.

  2. How Do We Use Your Personal Information?

    We use information to provide you with our Services, as well as to enable our operations. Such uses might include:

    • To our subsidiaries, affiliates, and potential buyers or other successors; or
    • To contractors, service providers, analytics providers, and other third parties we use to support our business and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.

    We may also disclose your personal information:

    • To comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request;
    • To enforce or apply our Terms of Service and other agreements, including for billing and collection purposes; or
    • If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of ourselves, our customers, or others.
  4. Analytics and Use of Cookies

    We also use third-party analytics providers such as Google Analytics and Mixpanel to help us compile aggregated statistics about the operation and effectiveness of our Services. Analytics providers set or read their own cookies, or other identifiers on your device, and transmit events through which they can collect information about your use of our websites and those of other companies.

    Learn more about our analytics providers:

    • You can learn more about Google Analytics, including how to opt-out, by visiting Google’s Privacy & Terms for Partners or visit our Cookies Policy.

    If you search for specific content on the Scener website, the search terms may be embedded in the “search string“that appears in the URL display window of your web browser. Certain advertising services or third-party content providers may associate these search strings with cookies they set or retrieve from our pages.

    Please see our Cookies Policy for more information about how Scener and our business partners use cookies and similar technologies.

  5. Third Party websites

    A variety of third-party websites that are accessible through our Services are not subject to this Privacy Policy. Such third-party websites—including social media websites, additional third-party plug-ins, and advertisements, are not under our control and operate under their own policies and procedures. Therefore, if you click on a link to access a third-party website, you may be subject to a third party’s policies on the collection and use of your personal information. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party websites to inform yourself of their policies and practices regarding your personal information.

  6. How Long Do We Retain Personal Information?

    We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, such as providing the Services and fulfilling the transactions you have requested, or for other essential purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements, after which the information will be deleted or de-identified. Your content will be deleted from our Services when you remove content from our Services or five years from your last interaction with our Service, whichever occurs first, although certain de-identified or aggregated data derived from it may be retained for limited purposes such as product improvement.

  7. Accessing and Correcting Your Information

    You can review and change your personal information, and opt out of receiving marketing emails, by logging into the Services and visiting your account profile page.

    If you delete your content from our Services, copies of your content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages, or might have been copied or stored by other users of our Services.

    Please also refer to the 'Contact Information' section for additional ways of contacting us.

  8. California Privacy Rights

    If you are a California resident and the processing of personal information about you is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have certain rights with respect to that information.

    Those rights include a “right to know” which allows you to request that we disclose to you the personal information we collect and details about how we collect, use, and disclose that information. Note that much of that information is provided in this Privacy Policy, including in the below table which provides you a summary of our data collection, use and sharing practices by data category for the preceding 12 months. Please note that this information supplements the information provided in the sections above.

    California residents also have a right to request that we delete personal information under certain circumstances, subject to several exceptions.

    California residents have the right to opt-out from future “sales” of personal information. Note that the CCPA defines “sell” and “personal information” very broadly such that making personal information available to third-party advertising companies can be considered a “sale” in some circumstances. While we made such information regarding California residents available to advertising companies in the preceding 12 months, as described in the“when and how do we share personal information with third parties?” section of this Policy, we do not currently do so and thus do not currently “sell” information related to California residents.

    To exercise the right to know or the right to request deletion, please refer to the “how to access, update and delete your personal information” section. California residents also have the right to not be discriminated against if they choose to exercise any of the above rights.
