Use of Google Analytics and Other Backend Analytics Tools
We use Google Analytics, a service that transmits our Site traffic to Google servers in the United States of America. Google Analytics does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with other data held by Google. We use reports and data provided by Google Analytics and other website traffic tracking services such as Facebook Connect and LinkedIn Analytics to help us understand our Site traffic trends and usage. For more information regarding how Google, Facebook or LinkedIn collects and processes data, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners, https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy, and https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy respectively. The Services and Sites features may include messaging and sharing content that you provide, such as information about you, your activities with Black Ambition, written information and commentary about Black Ambition or relevant third-party content, photos, video files, audio files, and other materials (“ User Content ”). Your User Content is posted on and transmitted to others at your own risk. Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. Additionally, we cannot control the actions of other users of the Sites or Services with whom you may choose to share your User Content. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that your User Content will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. This information can be seen, collected and used by others, including being cached, copied, screen captured or stored elsewhere by others (e.g., search engines), and we are not responsible for any such use of this information. We may collect Personal Data not specifically listed here, which we will use as described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection. Some web browsers may give you the ability to enable a “do not track” feature that sends signals to the Sites you visit, instructing that you do not want your online activities to be tracked; however, these features are not uniform and there is no common standard that has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies or regulators. Be aware that this is different from blocking or deleting cookies, and that browsers with “do not track” features enabled may still accept cookies. Black Ambition takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously. We continue to monitor developments related to “do not track” browser technology and the implementation of a standard. While the Sites do not currently recognize and respond to “do not track” signals, if we do in the future, we will update this Policy. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.11. Black Ambition Cookies Statement
