Third-Party Advertisers

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Site. These companies may use information about your visits to the Site and other websites, which is contained in web cookies, to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Depending on applicable law, the use of cookies, pixels, advertising identifiers, or similar technologies by advertising partners may be considered “sharing,” “selling,” or processing for targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising.

If we reorganize or sell all or a portion of our assets, undergo a merger, or are acquired by another entity, we may transfer your information to the successor entity.

We are not responsible for the actions of third parties with whom you share personal or sensitive data, and we have no authority to manage or control third-party solicitations. If you no longer wish to receive correspondence, emails or other communications from third parties, you are responsible for contacting the third party directly.

4. TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

Cookies, Web Beacons, and Tracking Pixels

We use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on the Site to help customize the Site and improve your experience. When you access the Site, your personal information is not collected through the use of tracking technology. Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can remove or reject cookies, but be aware that such action could affect the availability and functionality of the Site. You may not decline web beacons; however, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all cookies or by modifying your web browser’s settings to notify you each time a cookie is tendered, permitting you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.

Periodically, we may need to include a tracking pixel to monitor the effectiveness of information or materials we share. For example, you may subscribe to our newsletter, which may be used for advertising purposes. Newsletters sent may contain tracking pixels. The pixel is embedded in emails and allows for an analysis of the success of online marketing campaigns. Because of these tracking pixels, we may see if and when you open an email and which links within the email you click. Also, this allows the Site to adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the user. We do not share this information with third parties.

Internet-Based Advertising

We use third-party software to serve ads on the Site, implement email marketing campaigns, and manage other interactive marketing initiatives. This third-party software may use cookies or similar tracking technology to help manage and optimize your online experience with us. For more information about opting out of internet-based ads, visit the third-party network or review Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out Tool.

Website Analytics

We partner with selected third-party vendors, such as Google Analytics, to allow tracking technologies and remarketing services on the Site through the use of first party cookies and third-party cookies, to, among other things, analyze and track users’ use of the Site, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand online activity. By accessing the Site, you consent to the collection and use of your information by these third-party vendors. You are encouraged to review their privacy policy and contact them directly for responses to your questions. We do not transfer personal information to these third-party vendors. However, if you do not want any information to be collected and used by tracking technologies, you can visit the third-party vendor or review Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out Tool.

You should be aware that getting a new computer, installing a new browser, upgrading an existing browser, or erasing or otherwise altering your browser’s cookie files may also clear certain opt-out cookies, plug-ins, or settings.

Your browser or device may allow you to limit cookies, tracking technologies, or interest-based advertising. Certain choices may be browser- or device-specific and may need to be renewed if you clear cookies, use a different browser or device, or change your settings.

5. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

The Site may contain links to third-party websites and applications of interest, including advertisements and external services, that are not affiliated with us. Once you have used these links to leave the Site, any information you provide to these third parties is not covered by this Privacy Policy, and we cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of your information. Before visiting and providing any information to any third-party websites, you should inform yourself of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for that website, and should take those steps necessary to, in your discretion, protect the privacy of your information. We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties, including other sites, services or applications that may be linked to or from the Site. The Site engages in affiliate marketing, which is done by embedding tracking links into the Site. If you click on a link for an affiliate partnership, a cookie will be placed on your browser to track any sales for purposes of commissions. As part of affiliate marketing, the Site may post customized links to track referrals from links placed on the Site. Affiliate programs utilize cookies to track visits for the purposes of assigning commission on these sales. There is no fee or cost to the user; the retailer or network pays the commission.

We currently use the following and may add additional third parties at any time:

  • Amazon for tracking sales generated from clicks to retailer(s) on the Site to assign commission from those sales. Please refer to Amazon Associate’s privacy policy for further information. Try Hard Guides is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and providing links to products or services available from Amazon.com. As part of this Amazon Associates program, the Site may post customized links, provided by Amazon, to track the referrals to the Amazon listing. This affiliate program utilizes cookies to track visits for the purposes of assigning commission on these sales.
  • VigLink for tracking sales generated from clicks to retailer(s) on the Site to assign commission from those sales.  Please refer to VigLink’s privacy policy for further information.

6. SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse. Any information disclosed online is vulnerable to interception and misuse by unauthorized parties. Therefore, we cannot guarantee complete security if you provide personal information.

7. RIGHTS RELATED TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Opt-out – You may opt-out of future email communications by following the unsubscribe links in our emails. You may also notify us through our contact form.

For all other requests, please submit a request through our contact form.

Please note that we may need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes or to complete transactions, or when required by law.

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or portability of your personal information; to object to or restrict certain processing; to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and to opt out of certain uses or disclosures of personal information, including targeted advertising, sale, or sharing where applicable. We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request, and we may deny or limit a request where permitted by law.

8. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. In determining retention periods, we may consider the nature of the information, the purposes for which it was collected, applicable legal or regulatory requirements, dispute resolution needs, security and fraud-prevention needs, and our legitimate business needs.

9. INTERNATIONAL USERS AND TRANSFERS

 If you access the Try Hard Guides Service from outside the United States, your information may be processed, stored, or transferred in the United States or other jurisdictions where we or our service providers operate. These jurisdictions may have data protection laws that differ from those in your location. Where required by applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to protect your personal information in connection with such transfers.

10. EEA/UK PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR, may provide you with additional rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal information; request portability of your personal information; withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Our legal bases for processing may include consent, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests in operating, securing, improving, and promoting the Try Hard Guides Service. If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom and have questions or comments about this Privacy Policy, please contact us through our contact form or call 623-866-7018.

11. SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION

At no time should you submit sensitive personal information about yourself or anyone else to the Site. This includes your social security number, information regarding race or ethnic origin, political affiliation or opinions, religious beliefs, health information, criminal background, or other sensitive personal information. If you elect to submit such information to us, it will be subject to this Privacy Policy.

12. POLICY FOR CHILDREN

Try Hard Guides is designed for those 18 years of age or older. Visitors under the age of 18 must have permission from their parent or guardian to use certain features of our Site. We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly solicit information from or market to children under the age of 13. If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under age 13, please contact us through our contact form.

13. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.

14. FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS: Your California Privacy Rights

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine the Light” law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information, if any, that we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to us using the contact information provided below.

If you are under 18 years of age, reside in California, and have provided your personal information to us through the Try Hard Guides Service, you have the right to request removal of unwanted data that you publicly post on the Try Hard Guides Service. To request removal of such data, please contact us using the contact information provided below, and include sufficient detail about the public post(s) and a statement that you reside in California. We will make sure the data is not publicly displayed on the Try Hard Guides Service, but please be aware that the data may not be completely or comprehensively removed from our systems, nor can we guarantee that any cached or archived version of the Try Hard Guides Service will remove such data.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), enacted in 2018 and as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), creates consumer rights relating to access to, deletion of, and sharing of personal information that is collected by businesses. While we do not sell your information to any third party, we may partner with third-party service providers and affiliate partners who may gain access to your information through the use of beacons, tracking pixels, or cookies as provided in this Privacy Policy. If you are a California resident, California law may provide you with additional rights regarding our use of your personal information. To learn more about your California privacy rights, visit our Supplemental Privacy Notice for California Residents.

Additional California Disclosure. We do not track our customers over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. We use certain third-party cookies, as described in our Cookies Policy and in this Privacy Policy, and such third parties will obtain information about the fact that a web browser visited a specific Website from a certain IP address. Note that some third-party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, certain sites and browsers enable you to set the DNT signal so that third parties, particularly advertisers, know you do not want to be tracked.

15. PRIVACY RIGHTS IN OTHER STATES

If you are a resident of Nevada, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, or Virginia, you may have rights similar to California residents to know the categories of data we collect, use, and disclose, as well as potential rights to request corrections or deletions of your data. To submit a request to know, correct, delete, or appeal denied requests, please reach us through our contact form.

We may be required to take certain steps to verify your identity before processing your request.

16. CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The updated version will be marked by an updated “Revised” or “Last Updated” date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. If we make material changes, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you an email notification.

17. CONTACT US

If you have questions or comments about this Privacy Policy, please contact us through our contact form, or by calling 623-866-7018.

Depending on where you reside you may have the right to make a complaint to your local supervisory authority for data protection issues. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns first so please contact us.
