  1. PERSONAL DATA AND OTHER INFORMATION WE COLLECT

    Our primary goals in collecting Personal Data are to provide and improve our Platform, conduct our Operations, communicate with people and enable visitors to our Platform to easily navigate and enjoy them.

    When we refer to “Personal Data” in this Policy, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes or is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to a specific person. This might be information that directly identifies someone, such as their name, or it may be information that identifies someone only when combined with other information available to us, such as a person’s activity on our Platform when associated with their username. Please note, except as provided under applicable laws, Personal Data does not include information that is publicly available through government records or information that has been de-identified or aggregated in a way that it cannot be used to identify a specific individual.

    1. Categories of Personal Data We Collect Depending on how you access, use or otherwise interact with our Platform, we, or third parties acting on our behalf, may collect the following categories of Personal Data about you:

Usage Data, by itself, generally does not identify the specific person using the device that generated it. This means that Usage Data usually will not be considered Personal Data and our use of such Usage Data is not subject to this Policy unless required pursuant to applicable law. However, if we link Usage Data directly with other Personal Data or other information that could identify you, we will treat the linked Usage Data as Personal Data and use the linked Usage Data as described in this Policy.

      Depending on how you interact with our Platform, the Usage Data that we, or third parties acting on our behalf, may collect may include:

      4. Other information automatically collected by cookies and other technologies on our Platform;
      5. Any other information that a browser or device automatically sends whenever connected to a website or an online application; and

      7. Information on video or other content views and interactions, including but not limited to, video name, show name, episode number, as further outlined in our Video Privacy Policy.
  2. HOW WE COLLECT PERSONAL DATA

    A large portion of the Personal Data we, or third parties acting on our behalf, collect is directly from you and other users who provide their Personal Data to us directly. In some cases, we may collect Personal Data from third parties in the ways described in this Policy.

    1. Directly from You When you access, use or otherwise interact with our Platform, or otherwise engage with us in connection with our Platform, such as requesting more information about us, communicating with us, accessing, using or otherwise interacting with our Platform, we may ask you to provide certain Personal Data. Some of the Personal Data we request with respect to certain features of our Platform may not be required; however, we will let you know if specific Personal Data is required to use those features. If you do not provide us with the Personal Data required to use a certain feature on our Platform, you will not be able to use that feature, especially those features where we are legally required to collect the Personal Data and those where it is impossible for the feature to operate without the required Personal Data (e.g., collecting your payment information in order to process an order you place in the Angel store).
    2. From Third Parties We, or third parties acting on our behalf, may collect Personal Data about you from third parties, including, without limitation, online and offline sources, entities affiliated with us, our service providers, social media platforms, advertising networks and other public or commercial sources (collectively, “Third Party Sources”). The collection of Personal Data from these Third Party Sources can occur in a variety of ways, including, without limitation:
      1. By sharing our content via Third Party Sites or accessing, using or interacting with our Platform through Third Party Sites, you acknowledge that we may collect, share, store and use any Personal Data we receive from those Third Party Sites about you. In some cases, you may be able to revoke our access to your Personal Data and other content and information we receive from Third Party Sites by changing the appropriate settings for your account with the applicable Third Party Site.
      2. Some of the features of our Platform may provide you with the ability to register and sign into our Platform through the accounts you have with certain third parties, such as Facebook, Google, or Apple (“Third Party Single Sign On Providers”). When you use these features, we, or third parties acting on our behalf, gather the data necessary to create an account on our Platform from the applicable Third Party Single Sign On Provider, which may include, without limitation, your name, email address, IP address, device model, device operating system and web browser, time zone, carrier, screen size, processor cores, total disk space and remaining disk space. Your data associated with the applicable Third Party Single Sign On Provider will not be sold, redisclosed or edited through this process. Your ability to use this option may be limited where the applicable Third Party Single Sign On Provider requires you to use a device or operating system that meets that Third Party Single Sign On Provider’s requirements. Please note, by using these features, the applicable Third Party Single Sign On Provider will know that you are signing into our Platform and that you are a user of our Platform.
      3. We, or third parties acting on our behalf, may receive Personal Data about you from third parties that provide services to us through or in connection with the operation of our Platform and our Operations (“Operational Service Providers”).

For example, third-party wallet providers provide us with your blockchain address and certain other information you choose to share with those wallet providers. We may add this to the data we have already collected from or about you through our Platform.

      Please note, we may combine the Personal Data and other content and information we receive about you from multiple sources, including, without limitation, Personal Data we collect directly from you and one or more Third Party Sources.

  3. HOW WE COLLECT USAGE DATA

    4. Third party analytic tools, such as:
      1. Google Analytics, a web analytics tool that assists us in understanding how our Platform is used.
