1. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Disclosures

We partner with third-party advertising companies, including Google LLC (Google AdSense), to serve advertisements when you visit our website.

  • Third-Party Vendor Cookies: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site.
  • Personalized Advertising: Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve personalized ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Opting Out of Personalized Advertising: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

2. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide Voluntarily

When you sign in with your Google account (via Google OAuth), we receive your basic public profile information, consisting of your name, email address, and profile picture. This information is used exclusively to authenticate your account, allow you to bookmark articles, and attribute your community comments.

You may browse all news articles, reviews, and editorial content without creating an account or signing in.

B. Automatically Collected Data (Log Files & Analytics)

Like most standard website servers, we utilize log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks. We use this data via Google Analytics 4 to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement in the aggregate, and gather demographic information for aggregate use.

3. Notice to California Residents (CCPA / CPRA Rights)

If you reside in the State of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), affords you specific rights regarding your personal information:

  • Right to Know: You have the right to request that we disclose what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell.
  • Right to Delete: You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information collected or maintained by us.
  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing: We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration. However, like many digital publishers, we allow third-party advertising partners (such as Google) to collect data via cookies for targeted advertising. You have the right to opt out of this sharing at any time.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.

To exercise any of these rights, please email our Data Privacy Officer at privacy@pulse-entertainment.com.
