The Front Porch Media Network, LLC, parent to Evergreen Podcasts™ (“Evergreen”, “Company”, “we”, or “us”), is committed to protecting your privacy. We use the limited amount of information collected about you to enable the functionality of our website or to maintain you as a customer. These functions include letting you log in, setting up an account, purchasing products offered by Evergreen Podcasts and alerting you to any news and changes to our website and services. The Company may use personally identifiable information about you to improve our service, to statistically analyze site usage, to improve our content and product offerings and to customize our site’s content and layout.

On occasion, we will aggregate personally identifiable information and may disclose such information in aggregate to third parties. However, in these situations, we will never disclose any information that could be used to identify you.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide to Us

We collect information you provide directly to us. For example, we receive information when you set up an account at Evergreen Podcasts. We obtain this information so we can provide services to you. The types of information we collect may include personal information, which is information that can be used to identify you such as your name, email address, mailing address, postal code, country, or telephone number. This information is essential to allow us to provide services to you.

Information We Collect Automatically

In addition to the information you submit to us, we automatically collect specific information about your use of our website. This information may include unique device identifiers, Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses, browser characteristics, language preferences, operating system details, referring URLs, length of visits, and pages viewed. We may use tools such as cookies, web beacons, embedded scripts, web server logs, or other similar technologies to collect details about the services and devices you use to access the sites.

Cookies

A cookie is a unique identifier that is placed and stored on a computer when it is used to visit a website. Cookies may be used for various purposes, including to track user preferences or web pages visited while using a site, to identify the unique number of visitors to a website, and to verify whether or not a visitor is a repeat visitor.

Web Beacons (“Tracking Pixels”)

Web beacons are small graphic images, also known as “Internet tags” or “clear gifs” that may be embedded in web pages and email messages. Web beacons may be used to monitor the number of visitors to a website, to track how users navigate a site, or to count the number of emails opened or specific pages or links viewed.

Embedded Scripts

An embedded script is programming code designed to collect information about a user’s interactions with a website. Typically, the script is temporarily downloaded onto a computer from the host website’s server (or the server of a third-party service provider) and is active only while the visitor is connected to the site, then deleted or deactivated after that.

Data Analytics

Our website may use third-party web analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to help us analyze how visitors use the website. These services track information about visitors including IP addresses, browser types, referring pages, pages visited, and time spent on particular pages which we use to improve our products and tailor the user experience on our website.

California law permits customers in California to request specific details about how their information is shared with third parties and, in some cases, affiliates for direct marketing purposes. Under the law, a business must either provide this information or permit California customers to opt in to, or opt out of, this type of sharing. We do not share personal information with third party affiliates for those third parties’ or affiliates’ direct marketing purposes. California customers may request information about our compliance with this by contacting us at [email protected]. Any such inquiry must include “California Privacy Rights Request” in the subject area of your email or the first line of your postal mail inquiry.
