(“BNF,” “we,” or “us”) including those on the breitbartnewsfoundation.com website, all mobile websites and applications associated therewith (the “Site”) as well as when you contact us by phone, email, or otherwise. This Privacy Policy was developed to help you understand what information we collect as well as how we use and safeguard the information you provide to us on our Site.

Information We Collect

Personal Information You Provide To Us Or Ask A Third Party To Provide Us

  • You may choose to associate your social media account with our Site (e.g., through Facebook, Twitter or Google). By associating your accounts, you may be giving these third parties permission to send us certain information from your social media profile. What information they send us depends on your privacy settings with those third parties and their respective privacy policies. Once the accounts are associated, they may send us additional information from your profile over time. We will use the information they share with us in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
  • We also collect personal information from individuals who work for business contacts of BNF, such as service providers, vendors, and others.
  • If you apply for a job posting, or become an employee, we collect information necessary to process your application or to retain you as an employee. This may include, among other things, your Social Security Number. Providing this information is required for employment.

Information Collected Using Technology

We may use this information alone or together with other personal information to individually customize the Site’s offerings and presentations.
  • We may collect information about you through cookies, pixel tags, web beacons and similar technologies. Cookies are small strings of text sent by the Site to your browser which are then stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive.
  • Our advertisers and other third parties may also use cookies to collect information about you, including when you click through the advertisement to their website.
  • Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but it is possible to change your browser setup to allow you to control whether you will accept cookies, reject cookies, or to notify you each time a cookie is sent to you. If your browser is set to reject cookies, you may not be able to use or access all or a portion of our Site or features or may not receive personalization on the Site. In addition, advertisers may not recognize you when you return to their site.
  • We also collect information from your mobile device such as unique identifying information broadcast from your device when visiting our website or using our mobile app.

How We Use Your Information

  • We may use information such as identifiers, demographic data, and preferences to allow advertising on the Site to be targeted to the users for whom they are most pertinent. This means users may see advertising that is most likely to interest them, and many advertisers send their messages to people who are most likely to be receptive, improving both the viewer’s experience and the effectiveness of the advertising.
  • We may use your information to show you relevant ads both on our services and elsewhere and measure the effectiveness and reach of ads.
  • We may share your information for other purposes or to other parties with your consent.

  • We may provide your information, including your personal information, to third parties, such as contractors and advertisers for a variety of purposes, including, without limitation, for marketing purposes.
  • We may share in aggregate, statistical from non-personal information regarding the visitors to our Site, traffic patterns and Site usage with our partners, affiliates, donors, advertisers or other third parties.

  • We may share your information with third party advertising companies to target and serve some of the advertisements that appear on our Site and elsewhere, and these companies likewise may use their own cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to collect information from users of our Site. These companies may use that information, sometimes in conjunction with similar information gathered from other websites, to deliver advertisements on this Site or elsewhere, tailored to match the interests of consumers.
  • We may disclose your information to other third parties when we have your consent or direction to do so.

Links to Third Party Websites

Our Site may offer links to other websites, including links embedded in advertisements and links to various news sources that are not under the control of BNF. Such links to other websites may have information policies and practices different from ours. In addition, certain companies associated with the Site may have their own privacy policies. We do not own or control such companies and websites and are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices or the content of websites that we do not own or control.

How We Protect and Retain Your Information

We use reasonable industry-accepted technology and controls to protect your data from disclosure to unauthorized third parties. Although these measures are typically effective, use of the Internet and related computer systems is inherently vulnerable to unauthorized access or “hacking.” No guarantee can be given that all information you provide to us will not be accessed by unauthorized persons. Thus, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. In the event that we are required by law to inform you of a breach to your personal information we may notify you electronically, in writing, or by telephone, if permitted to do so by law.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be amended from time to time. Any such changes will be posted on this page. Unless we obtain your express consent, any revised Privacy Policy will apply only to information collected after the effective date of such revised Privacy Policy, and not to information collected under any earlier Privacy Policy.
