MINORS’ PRIVACY POLICY

(1) Information you give to us

You can use many of our services without giving us any personal information, but some of our services may have forms that ask for some of your personal information, like:

• Information that tells us who you are and how to contact you like your name, online username, phone number, email address, or the address where you live or get your mail.
• Information that lets us contact your parent or guardian like their name, phone number, email address, and address where they live or get their mail.

Some services we offer need a form of payment like a credit card. If so, we will ask you to get a parent or guardian to help you and we will get permission directly from your parent or guardian if you’re not able to give us permission on your own.

We may also collect personal information that tells us about you like your birthday and year you were born, the gender you identify with, an avatar or other picture or character you use online to show other people how you want them to see you, things you like, and what you think about one of our characters or experiences. If we record your voice, we’ll tell you why. We’ll delete the recording after we no longer have a need for it. 

Please note that we don’t ask you to share your personal details with the general public, like giving your full name, email, or anything like that where others can see it.

(2) Information we automatically collect

Some personal information we collect about you comes from technologies that are on your TV, computer, phone, tablet or other device when you are browsing one of our sites or using one of our apps, watching one of our shows, playing one of our games or using another one of our services. Sometimes, we work with other companies to help us offer you one of our services, and they may use these technologies to collect information about you so they can give that information to us. This information can include:

• IP address (a number given by your internet provider that can identify your device).
• Mobile advertising ID (a number that’s given to your device by the maker of the software that runs on your phone or tablet, and which you can change).
• Media access control (MAC) address which is another number that tells us what device you’re using which does not change.
• A mix of random numbers and letters called cookies, pixels, tags, beacons, scripts, or other kinds of technology that can see what you do when you’re online and help contact you or send you messages. 

We make sure these identifiers can’t be used to find you, contact you, follow you online, or learn extra things about you. We only use these identifiers for our own internal reasons, like:

• Keeping our services working properly.
• Sending you messages and alerts about your account if you have one.
• Giving you access to our services and choose what you want to see.
• Showing ads in a way that makes sense and so you don’t see the same ads over and over again.
• Helping you stay safe while using our services and helping our services stay protected.
• Helping us follow the rules and laws in the places we operate. 
• Answering your questions or requests where we are allowed to do so.
• Make the app or website show you stuff you like and help it work better.
• Learn how to improve the services by studying how people use it.
• See which parts of the app, website or game people enjoy the most so we can make them more awesome and more “you.”

We ensure the identifiers above are not used for other reasons by:

• Not using your full name.
• Not connecting them to other info about you.
• We have rules to help keep your information safe like only letting certain people see it.
• Deleting them after when we’re done using them for the reason we collected them.
• Not sharing them with other companies, except the ones that help us provide our services.

(3) Information we get from other people or companies

We may collect personal information about you such as your name, age and address from other places, too:

• If you enter one of our competitions that we offer with another company, that other company may collect your details and share it with us so that we can contact you and/or deliver the prize.
• If you come to one of our live events, we may get your information from another company that is helping us host the event. 
• If you want to be in one of our shows or an advertisement for a show, or other photos, videos, or podcasts we create, we may use a production company or casting agent to collect information about you from your parent or guardian, like your name, age, pictures and videos of you and other casting information, that can be shared with us.

When we collect your personal information from other companies, they also have to tell you how they use and share your information. It’s always a good idea to check out their privacy policies with a parent or guardian, too.

Here is a more detailed list of the ways we use personal information about you (remember, some of these things will require us to get your parent or guardian’s permission first):

• Make the services work, fix problems, add new fun stuff, and make them better.
• Do the things that we promised other people or companies in our contracts.
• Set up and help you keep your account, if you have one.
• Send you alerts or messages about your account, if you have one.
• Send newsletters, postcards, or messages you asked us to send you.
• Let you join in fun activities like games or challenges.
• Let you enter in sweepstakes, competitions, or promotions, pick winners and send them prizes.
• Answer your questions or requests.
• Help us with research about our different types of subjects, like our programs, how other children like you are dealing with things happening around you or finding out what children like you like to do, among other kinds of studies.
• Look at how people use our services to make them easier and more fun to use for you.
• Show contextual ads in a way that makes sense and so you don’t see the same ads over and over again.
• Find and fix errors and problems on the services that make them harder to use.
• Make sure we have the correct information to send you things you win in a contest, or get as part of a giveaway, or that you ask us to send you.
• Help keep everything safe for Paramount and for all the people that use our services, to follow the laws, and to stop bad things like fraud.

Notifications and alerts

We won’t use your information to send you push notifications that need you to be connected online unless we get your parents’ or guardians’ permission first. But we may send you notifications or alerts that come from one of our apps to tell you about new shows, fun events in the app, or other reasons. These kinds of notifications don’t need you to be connected online, and everyone sees the same notifications or alerts if they have them turned on.

Advertising

If you are under 18 and are using our services that have advertisements, we only show you advertisements that make sense for the type of shows you are watching or games you are playing. These are called contextual advertisements. Even for these types of advertisements, we may need to collect a few bits of information about your computer, your phone or tablet or your television, as well as a digital set of numbers that helps us send the right ad to your device to make sure the advertisement is getting to the right place, and to make sure you aren’t seeing the same ad over and over.  

We do not show you advertisements using personal information about who you are, what you like, other games you’ve played, shows you’ve watched, or sites and apps you have used. These kinds of advertisements are called “targeted advertising”, “behavioral advertising”, or “interest-based advertising.”

Our legal bases

Some laws require what is called a “legal basis” to collect and use personal information. A “legal basis” means a good reason under the law. For many things we do, our “legitimate interests” is the good reason we have under the law for using your personal information. See some examples of our legitimate interests below.

• We may use information about how you use our services including your preferences and identifiers to:
• Make the services work, fix problems, add new fun stuff, and make them better.
• Understand how people use our services and to make them easier and more fun to use for you.
• Show you ads.
• Keep things safe for Paramount and for all the people that use our services.
• We may use your name and contact information and your parents’ or guardians’ contact information like an email address and address to:
• Send you notifications and alerts when you or your parents ask for them. 
• Let you enter in sweepstakes, competitions, or promotions, pick winners and send prizes.
• Answer your questions and requests
• Let you join in fun activities like games and challenges. 

For other things that we do with your information, our legal basis is to keep the promises we make in our contracts or follow the laws. In some cases, the law says we have to get permission to collect and use personal information, for things like sending you emails or other messages about new stuff or fun things you might like. 

When we need permission, we will ask you or, if you’re not old enough, we will ask you to give us your parents’ or guardians’ information so we can contact them to ask for their permission. When you or your parent or guardian gives us permission to collect and use your personal information, you or they can always change your minds and take back that permission at any time.

We share your information in these ways:

We share information within the Paramount Skydance Family of Companies. We share information we collect about you with Paramount Skydance Family of Companies for the reasons described in the “How do you use my information & why?” section above. 

We share information with Service Providers. We share your information with other companies or people who help us do things like building websites and apps and helping to make sure that they keep working; understanding how people use the services and making the services better; taking payments; sending you stuff you asked for or that you won; putting on events; or giving us advice like our lawyers, accountants, and other advisers. These Service Providers are just a kind of helper and aren’t part of our company, so they can only use your information to help us do our job and not for anything else.

We share information with our business partners. We share your information with our business partners, like the ones that run competitions or events with us. These companies have their own privacy policies, so you should ask your parent or guardian to check them out and make sure you understand how they handle your personal information because it could be different from how Paramount handles your information. We won’t share your information with any partners without getting your permission or, if you’re not old enough, the permission of your parent or guardian.  

We share your information with your permission or if you ask us to. We will share your information with others if you give us permission or when you ask us to. For example, if you ask us to share your information for you to participate in a service run by a different company that is not related to Paramount, we will share that information but only the information you give us permission to share and only to do the things you tell us you want the other company to do.

We may share your information for a business deal. Sometimes our company grows or changes because we are getting together with another company or we are selling part of our company or making some other changes to the way we are organized. When this happens, we may have to share or give your information to the other company and their advisors during that process.  

We share information if we think we have to because the law says so or to protect ourselves. For example, we will share information when there is a case or investigation and a person in charge has told us we have to. Sometimes, we need to share your information to keep our company and the people who work here safe or because we need to help protect others.

In rare circumstances, we may share information with Third-Party Operators, which are other companies that help us run things like contests, giveaways, sweepstakes, or special events.. They might help check your entry, make sure everything’s fair, or contact you if you win. These companies follow their own privacy rules, and if we share your information with them, we’ll let you know and we only share what’s needed to make the event work.

Depending on the laws of where you live, including the United States, some of your Privacy Rights are:

• The right to ask for a copy of the personal information we have about you.
• The right to ask us to correct your personal information if it is wrong or missing some information.
• The right to ask us to delete your personal information from our records or to take your picture or video down from a social media site or online service or to blur it If we can’t take it down for some reason.
• The right to ask us to stop using your personal information or giving it to other people or companies.
• The right to ask us to give your personal information to another company if you want to take it some place else. 
• The right to know if we have given your information to another company and know who that other company is. 
• The right to tell the people in charge of privacy if you're not happy with how your information is being used.  
• The right to ask us to double‑check a decision we make about your personal information.

Your parents have rights too! They can see what personal information we have about you, ask us to delete it and tell us to stop collecting it. To do this, your parents just need to contact us using the instructions in our “Contact Us” section below. 

If you want to learn more about your rights, you can go to the main Paramount Privacy Policy with a parent or guardian here. You or your parent or guardian can also contact us at the information in the Contact Us section below if you have any questions about what rights and choices apply to you.

Here are some examples of how long we keep different kinds of personal information:

• If your family has an account for one of our services that you use, we will keep your information for as long as you are using that service. After you're done, we might keep some of your details, like how you used the service, for a little longer to make sure no rules were broken or because some laws say we must. 
• If you enter a competition, we keep your information for as long as we need to pick a winner and make sure the winner gets the prize, after that your information is deleted.
• If you ask us to stop sending you messages, we keep a record of that request to make sure we don’t send them to you again. 
• If you use your Privacy Rights, we will keep your information to help us remember and so we can respect your wishes.

In rare instances, you may be old enough and we may ask for your permission to “sell” your information to other businesses or companies; or if you’re not old enough, your parents or guardians can give us permission. In those instances, you can change your mind at any time and take that permission back by following the instructions on the “Your Privacy Choices” link on the home page of the relevant website, mobile and app, or other service. This link only appears on those services where a “sale” may happen.

When you make these choices on one of our websites or apps, you will need to do it again if you clear your cookies or use a new browser or device. Ask a parent or guardian to help you if you need.
