This Cast Privacy Notice applies to your use of https://castapp.fish and any other websites, applications, or services provided, owned, or operated by Strategic Digital Solutions Corp (with its affiliates, “Cast”) that link to this Privacy Notice (collectively, the “Cast Services”). Cast values the privacy of users, subscribers, publishers, members, and others who visit and use the Cast Services (collectively or individually, “you” or “users”) and wants you to be familiar with how we collect, use, and disclose personal information from and about you. This notice describes our privacy policy.

For purposes of data protection laws, Strategic Digital Solutions Corp DBA Cast, located at 430 Franklin Street, 2nd Floor, Schenectady, NY 12305, is the “data controller” of your information collected in connection with the Cast Services.

You may share personal information when using the Cast Services. One example is when you provide information about yourself as part of the Cast account creation process. Another is when you take certain actions on the Cast Services that are public or intended to be public in nature, such as when you broadcast content, participate in a chat room, post profile information, follow a channel, or subscribe to a broadcast channel. Given the social nature of some of the Cast Services, that information may be collected, used, or disclosed by others who are part of that social interaction. In addition, some features of the Cast Services are designed to provide others with information about user activity, such as identifying the user who created a particular Clip or the subscription status of users for a given channel. We encourage you to be mindful of this when considering your activity on the Cast Services.

Storage and access to cookies that are set in connection with the Cast Services are governed by the Cast Cookie Policy (“Cookie Policy”).

Account Closure & Deletion

If you would like to close your account and delete your profile information on https://castapp.fish go to settings in your profile. For Cast Services other than Castapp.fish, you may update or delete information tied to your account, or close an account, by accessing the “My Account” area of the service or by submitting a help ticket to that service. If you close your account, Cast may retain certain information about you for the activities described in this Privacy Notice, or as permitted or required by applicable law.

Third-Party Services and Websites

The Cast Services may link to third-party websites or services. The privacy practices of those third parties are not governed by this Privacy Notice. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party websites and services to understand their practices.

If you connect to a third-party service (such as Facebook, Twitter, or another third-party application) through the Cast Services or otherwise link your Cast account with a third-party service, you are requesting and authorizing us to share or grant access to information on your behalf (such as your username, the fact that your connection originated from the Cast Services, and other relevant usage and diagnostic information) with such third party. We may also send information about the content you watch or your activities on the Cast Services to such third parties. For example, we may make information available to app developers, game developers, and game publishers to facilitate purchases and awards of digital goods, such as games and in-game items.

Advertisers and Analytics Providers

Cast may use third-party Web analytics services in connection with the Cast Services. These service providers use a variety of tracking technologies such as cookies to analyze how users use the Cast Services. The information collected (described above in “Automatically Collected Information”) may be shared with or collected directly by these services and processed to evaluate your use of the Cast Services.

Cast may also work with third-party ad networks, advertisers, and advertising analytics providers to target (and measure the performance of) ads to you both on and off the Cast Services. We may share with these third parties (or they may directly collect) data such as cookie and mobile ad identifiers in order to engage in advertising activity (including to understand how you respond to advertisements and to serve relevant ads). Cast also works with third parties to serve ads to you off Cast’s Services. When we do so, we may share information such as your email address or resettable device identifier for that advertising partner to “match” to other information that may have about you.

Advertisers on Cast, or representatives or service providers working on their behalf (“Cast Advertisers”), sometimes use technology to serve ads that appear on our services directly to your device.  They automatically receive certain data, such as your IP address, when this happens. They may also use cookies (or similar technologies) to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize ad content. This Privacy Notice does not apply to, and we cannot control the tracking technologies and activities of Cast Advertisers and you should consult their respective privacy policies. For more information about Cast Advertisers and similar entities that use these technologies, and to opt-out of their advertising practices, go to our Privacy Choice page.

Do Not Track

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our website for third-party purposes, and that is why we provide the Network Advertising Initiative, Your Online Choices and the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out links above. However, Cast does not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals.

Data Security

Cast uses a variety of managerial, technical, and physical measures to protect the integrity and security of your information. These measures may vary based on the sensitivity of your information. However, no security precautions or systems can be completely secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to Cast, and you do so at your own risk. We cannot guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

Retention of Your Information

Cast maintains data related to your usage of Cast for as long as it is required in order to fulfill the relevant purposes described in this Privacy Notice, as may be required (or permitted) by law such as for tax and accounting purposes, or as otherwise communicated to you. Once you have asked us to close your account and delete your profile information, we will delete all information that we are not required or permitted to retain by law.

Children’s Privacy

IF YOU ARE UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE, THEN PLEASE DO NOT USE OR ACCESS THE CAST SERVICES AT ANY TIME OR IN ANY MANNER.

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, Cast does not knowingly collect or maintain personal information (as defined by the United States Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) from persons under 13 years-of-age. If Cast learns that personal information of persons under 13 has been collected on or through the Cast Services, Cast will take appropriate steps to delete this information.

If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child under 13 who has become a Cast Services member, then please contact Cast at info@castapp.fish to have that child’s account terminated and personal information deleted.

For residents of the EEA and residents of Brazil where the processing of personal information is based on consent, Cast will not knowingly engage in that processing for users under the age of consent established by applicable data protection law. If we learn that we are engaged in that processing with such users, we will halt such processing and will take reasonable measures to promptly remove applicable information from our records.

Merger or Sale

In the event that Cast, or some or all assets related to the Cast Services are acquired by or merged with a third-party entity or in connection with a contemplated change of ownership transaction, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information that we have collected from users as part of that merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control event, including in the course of diligence.

International Data Transfers

Information collected by Cast may be stored and processed in your region, in the United States (for instance in our major data centers), or in any other country where Cast or its affiliates, subsidiaries, partners, or service providers are located or maintain facilities.  If we provide any information about you to any such entities, we will take appropriate measures to ensure such companies protect your information adequately in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable law.

Changes and Updates to This Privacy Notice

Cast reserves the right to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Privacy Notice at any time (for example to reflect updates to the Cast Services or to reflect changes in the law). Please check this Privacy Notice periodically for those changes. Your continued use of the Cast Services after the posting of changes constitutes your binding acceptance of such changes.

We will not materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of personal information collected in the past under a prior version of the Privacy Notice without the consent of affected individuals
