How YYM's Products and Services Enhance User Privacy and Protect the Property of Advertisers and Web Publishers Yah Yah Media serves ads to its partner Web sites. The cookies that are employed across our represented websites serve a quantitative function and are not designed to collect and store data profiles on users. They are used to: • Report to YYM's advertiser and Web site clients the estimated total reach of an ad campaign; • Report the frequency with which an ad was shown to a user, and other measurement statistics; • Ensure that an advertisement displayed to a user corresponds to the correct click-through destination; • Deliver a series of advertisements in the proper sequence; and • Limit the number of times a browser is delivered the same advertisement. Unlike other global ad serving companies, Yah Yah Media does not use any of the data collected via cookies for purposes other than those described above. Yah Yah Media Media does not merge personally identifiable information with non-personally identifiable information, and does not otherwise parse, sort, gather, or aggregate user data for use elsewhere. Non-PII is collected by Yah Yah Media through session cookies that terminate when the browser is closed. Yah Yah Media Media thus has no reason to offer users the choice to "opt-out" of anything that pertains to Network served ads. What User Information Is Collected by Email and Promotions Yah Yah Media collects two types personally identifiable information only through its Email and Promotions business lines. Personally Identifiable Information ("PII") PII is personal information classified as personal to the online consumer, such as name, address, phone number and email address. PII also includes other personal information such as birth-date, zip code, gender, or lifestyle information. • YYM's Email and Promotions divisions collect PII on an opt-in basis only. Yah Yah Media will not collect any PII unless that user voluntarily provides it to YYM. If you do not want your personal information collected online, please do not submit it to surveys, promotions, sweepstakes, or subscriptions. •PII is collected by Yah Yah Media when online users respond to a survey and provide it, when they register for an email newsletter, register for a product or service online, or enter a sweepstakes promoted by YYM, its subsidiaries or its partners. Selected partners of Yah Yah Media will share information with Yah Yah Media Media about only their online consumers who have consented to the sharing of their information with third parties. Furthermore, each individual in the YYM Email database has answered positively to an "opt in" question, or they have voluntarily filled out an Internet survey card to receive email solicitation about products of interest. Yah Yah Media Media and its partners communicate with these users frequently to verify their "opt in" status. Yah Yah Media Media also provides users with an explicit opportunity to opt-out every time an email promotion is sent. In all instances, prior to providing PII information to YYM's Email or Promotions divisions, each online user is given meaningful notice regarding the collection practice and a choice regarding the dissemination of such information. All users are informed about how Yah Yah Media Media and its partners may use such information, including whether it will be shared with marketing partners or combined with other information available to YYM. Users will always be offered the choice not to provide PII or not to have such PII shared with others. Yah Yah Media Media will not share this PII information with any partner company if the user indicates on the registration form the preference to limit the use of such information. Yah Yah Media Media does not collect personal medical information or credit information, or information related to children, except in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.
