PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: October 1, 2020

This Privacy Policy describes how Solstice Studios LLC, on its own behalf or in combination with any of its subsidiaries, (collectively, “Solstice,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and shares information about you and applies to your use of any online service location (e.g., website or mobile app) that posts a link to this Privacy Policy, including our website solstice-studios.com, and all features, content, and other services that we own, control and make available to you (collectively, the “Service”). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. Your use of the Service indicates that you have read, understood, and unconditionally accepted the privacy practices outlined in this Privacy Policy. In addition, please review our Terms of Use that governs your use of the Service.

What information do we collect?

Information You Provide.

We and our agents, vendors, consultants, and other service providers (collectively, “Service Providers”) may collect information you provide directly via the Service. The information we collect may include Personal Information. "Personal Information" is information that identifies, or is reasonably capable of identifying, you personally (whether by itself or when combined with other information), such as your first and last name, e-mail address, phone number, and postal address. You may choose to voluntarily submit certain other information to us through the Service, including Personal Information, but you are solely responsible for your own Personal Information in instances where we have not requested that you submit such information to us. Personal Information once “de-identified” or “aggregated” is not subject to this Privacy Policy and we and our Service Providers may treat it as non-Personal Information and use or share it without obligation to you except as prohibited by applicable law. If you make any information public through our Service, it may not be treated as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy and you are solely responsible for such information you make public.

Information Collected Automatically.

We and our Service Providers may automatically collect certain information about you when you access or use the Service (“Usage Information”). Usage Information is information that describes how our visitors use and navigate our Service and may include information such as IP address, device identifier, browser type, operating system, data regarding network connected hardware (e.g., computer or mobile device), and information about your use of the Service. To the extent that such Usage Information is reasonably capable of identifying you personally, including if combined with other personally identifiable information, we will treat it as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy. The methods that may be used on the Service to collect Usage Information include:

• Log Information: Log information is data about your use of the Service, such as IP address, browser type, language, and the times and dates of webpage visits. The data collected may be used for such purposes as statistical analysis, to understand traffic and user behavior, and to administer the site.
• Information Collected by Tracking Technologies: Cookies, web beacons (also known as "tracking pixels"), embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, device fingerprinting, and other tracking technologies now and hereafter developed (“Tracking Technologies”) may be used to collect information about your interactions with the Service, including information about your browsing and activity behavior.
• Cookies: A cookie may be a session ID cookie or tracking cookie. Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate the Service and expire when you close your browser. Tracking cookies help in understanding how you use the Service, and remain longer. The Service may associate some or all of these types of cookies with your devices. Cookies may remain on your device for extended periods of time.
• Web Beacons (“Tracking Pixels”): Web beacons are small graphic images, also known as "internet tags" or "clear gifs," embedded in web pages and e-mail messages. Web beacons may be used for such purposes as to count the number of visitors to the Service, to monitor how users navigate the Service, and to count content views.
• Embedded Scripts: An embedded script is programming code designed to collect information about your interactions with the Service. It is temporarily downloaded onto your device from our web server or a third party, is active only while you are connected to the Service, and deleted or deactivated thereafter.
• Location-identifying Technologies: Location-aware technologies locate you for purposes such as verifying your location and delivering or restricting relevant content based on your location.
• Device Fingerprinting: Device fingerprinting is the process of analyzing and combining sets of information elements from your device’s browser, such as JavaScript objects and installed fonts, in order to create a “fingerprint” of your device and uniquely identify your device.
• Device Recognition Technologies: Technologies, including application of statistical probability to data sets, as well as linking a common unique identifier to different device use (e.g., Facebook ID), which attempt to recognize or make assumptions about users and devices (e.g., that a user of multiple devices is the same user or household).
• Provide, maintain and improve our Service, as well as to develop new content and features;
• Process and facilitate your transactions or participation in the features we offer on the Service;
• Respond to your comments, questions, and requests, and provide customer service;

• Fulfill any other purpose disclosed at the time you provide Personal Information.
• To comply with the law or other legal process, and where required, in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements;
• To protect the rights, property, life, health, security and safety of us, the Service or any third party;
• In connection with, or during negotiations of, any proposed or actual merger, purchase, sale or any other type of acquisition or business combination of all or any portion of our assets, or transfer of all or a portion of our business to another company;

Information from Third Parties.

We may obtain information about you from other sources, including Service Providers and Third Party Services (as defined below), and combine such information with information we have collected about you. To the extent we combine such third party sourced information which can be used to identify you personally (alone or in combination with other information) with Personal Information we have collected about you on the Service, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible or liable for the accuracy of any information provided by third parties or third party policies or practices.

We may use information about you, including your Personal Information, for any purposes consistent with our statements under this Privacy Policy or as permitted by applicable law including, without limitation, to:

How is the information shared?

For select Promotions, we may require you to consent to the use of your name, social media handle, voice, likeness, biographical information, or other Personal Information in advertising, promotional and marketing materials. For Promotions sponsored by or co-branded with a third party, such third party may obtain your Personal information and their use of your information will be governed by their own privacy policy. By entering any Promotion, you are agreeing to its official rules, which may include consent to additional or differing data practices from those contained in this Privacy Policy.

These third parties may have access to a web site user’s information but such access shall be limited to the extent it is needed to perform their duties and functions and we will require such third parties to agree to respect the privacy of a web site user’s information.

Legal and Law Enforcement Purposes.

Solstice may disclose information about its users when legally required to do so, at the request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation, or to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing our web site and applicable laws. Solstice may also disclose such user information whenever we believe disclosure is necessary to limit our legal liability or to protect or enforce the rights, interests, or safety of the web site, our users or others.

Links

Please be aware that when you are navigating our web site or viewing an e-mail or other content provided by Solstice, you may have the opportunity to click on links that take you outside Solstice’s service to other web sites or online content that are beyond Solstice’s control. If you “click” on the link to such a third party, the “click” takes you to a third party’s web site or online content. Solstice has no control over and is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these web sites and expressly disclaims all liability associated with your use of, and the content on, such other web sites. You should consult the other sites' privacy policies before submitting any information, as we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties or how they will use it.

Social Sharing

The Services may allow you to share your personal information with social media platforms and other third parties. When you share in this manner, the privacy practices of the social media platform control who has access to your information and how it is treated by the social media platform. Please consult the privacy policies of any social media platform to which you share information in this manner to learn about the social media platform’s data practices. If you post information or content, such as by posting photos, commenting, or when you interact with our web site through social media plug-ins or other applications, depending on your privacy settings, this information may become public on the Internet. Therefore, we cannot prevent further use of this information.

Third Party Services

Our Service may contain content from and hyperlinks to websites, locations, platforms, and services operated and owned by third parties (“Third Party Services”). In addition, our Service contains features that allow you to interact with, connect to, or access our Service through certain Third Party Services and third party devices (“Third Party Features”). For example, you interact with a Third Party Service when you “like” or “share” content over social media through our Service. Remember that third parties may use Tracking Technologies to independently collect information about you and may solicit Personal Information from you. Also, if you use a Third Party Feature, both we and the applicable third party may have access to and use information associated with your use of the Third Party Feature.

Our Service also contains Tracking Technologies operated by third parties. For example, analytics services, such as Google Analytics, may use Tracking Technologies on our Service to help us analyze your use of the Service, compile statistic reports on the Service’s activity, and provide other services relating to Service activity and internet usage. Similarly, ad serving services, advertisers, and other third parties may use Tracking Technologies on our Service and Third Party Services to track your activities across time and services, and tailor ads to you based on your activities, which may include sending you an ad on a Third Party Service or third party device after you have left the Service (“Interest-based Advertising”).

We are not responsible for and make no representations regarding third party policies and practices, and encourage you to familiarize yourself with and consult their privacy policies and terms of use.
