When we mention “Testname”, “we”, “us” or “our” in this Privacy Policy, we mean Testname, Inc, or the relevant Testname company responsible for processing your data.

2. About this privacy notice

This Privacy Notice explains how Testname collects, uses, and discloses data about you and processes information that identifies or can be used to identify you (sometimes referred to as “personal data” or “personal information” under applicable privacy and data security laws, and hereinafter “personal data”) when you use our website(s), mobile apps, and other online products or services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”) or when you otherwise interact with us. From time to time we partner with third parties to provide you with products, promotions or other experiences. We will show you the privacy policies belonging to those third parties when they will receive information in connection with those experiences. Their privacy policy will govern the collection of your personal data, in addition to this Privacy Policy.

3. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We’re likely to update this Privacy Policy in the future and when we make changes, we will revise the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, will notify you through the Services, such as on our homepage, or via email or other communication. Please come back and check from time to time for the latest information on our privacy practices.

4. How to contact us

If you have questions or concerns about the information in this Privacy Policy, our handling of your personal data more generally, your choices and rights regarding such use, or wish to exercise your rights under law, please do not hesitate to contact us at: ylnrsyb.dev@gmail.com

5. What personal data we collect and how

5.1 Personal data you provide to us.

We collect data you provide directly to us.

5.2 Data that indirectly identifies you and automatically collected data.

When you access or use the Services, we collect data that indirectly identifies you and we automatically collect other data about you, including:

We also may use these technologies to collect data about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (behavioral tracking).

The information we collect automatically may include personal data, or we may maintain it or associate it with personal data we collect in other ways or receive from third parties.

5.3 Location data.

We use your IP address to infer your approximate location. We may also collect the language option or country you choose. When we provide certain services, such as providing you with a version of our Services that is localized to your country, we link location data to other information we have collected about you in order to do so.

5.4 Profile data.

If you sign up for an Account, we will collect certain data you give us as part of your Account sign-up as described above, information you give us in connection with purchases or orders made by you, and your interests, preferences, feedback and survey responses. Your interests and preferences are inferred from data we collect regarding what types of content you have interacted with, how long you interacted with them, how often you interacted with them, and the nature of your interaction with the content. We do not disclose email addresses to other users except where it is necessary to comply with the law, to protect our rights, or to protect the rights of our users.

5.5 Special category data.

When we conduct research or carry out surveys and you participate in our research or surveys, we may collect sensitive personal data about you, for example, information about your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life or sexual orientation. We will get your explicit consent for our collection, use, or sharing of this data as required by law.

6. Aggregated data

7. How we collect personal data

7.6 What we use your data for:

We use the data we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our Services. We also use the data we collect to:

8. Marketing choices

When you sign up for a promotion like a sweepstakes, or subscribe to or create an Account to use our Services, we use your personal data to help us decide which products, services and offers may be of interest to you. We will send marketing messages to you if you have asked us to send you information, bought goods or services from us, or if you provided us with your details when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion. If you opt out of receiving marketing messages, we may still send you non-promotional emails, such as those about your Account or our ongoing business relations. We will ask for your consent before we share your personal data with any third party for direct marketing purposes.

You may unsubscribe from marketing messages through a link we include on messages we send you. You can also ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by contacting us at: ylnrsyb.dev@gmail.com

9. Sharing your personal data

In general, your personal data will remain with Testname but we may share personal data about you as follows or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy:

Other Sharing

We may also share aggregated or de-identified information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you. For example, we may share aggregated or de-identified information with our ad partners and service providers so that we, and they, can understand how people use our Services; this helps us grow our business and improve and develop our products and services. We may also share information about you along with a hashed version of your email address with our Advertising Partners so that they and we can facilitate customized ad campaigns and other offers on the Services and on other platforms. “Hashing”  transforms your email into an unrecognizable series of numbers and letters.

10. UK and EU users: international transfer of your personal data

11. Retaining your personal data

12. Third-Party Sites

We also use the analytics tools provided by the social media platforms to help us to understand how people interact with our social media presence, to identify trends and to carry out joint promotional activities with those platforms. For example, sometimes we agree with a social media platform that we will jointly promote certain content.

We receive aggregated statistical information from social media platforms about the performance of our posts and promoted content, such as numbers of views and kinds of viewers. This data is aggregated and anonymized by the social media platform prior to being made available to us.

We also use the paid advertising and paid content tools provided by the social media platforms to help us carry out advertising campaigns for our ad partners and to promote our content on the social media platforms. For example, we use the “Promoted Pins” tool on Pinterest to promote editorial or paid content to visitors to Pinterest. Again, we receive from the social media platforms only aggregated statistical information about interactions with our ads and paid content, such as number of views, number of times shared and so on.

We process information provided to us by the social media platforms on the basis of our legitimate interest in interacting with our audience on social media and using social media to promote our content.

For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing in connection with social sharing features or your use of the social media platforms, please visit the privacy policies of the respective entities at the following links:

13. Cookie policy

13.3 Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies are used by us and by third parties who process data for us for data analytics purposes (for example Google Analytics) so that we can manage and improve the performance and design of our Services and for monitoring, auditing, research and reporting.

We have activated Google’s IP anonymisation function on our Sites. This will cause your IP address to be cut by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other countries party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the Sites, to compile reports on Site activity and to provide us with other services relating to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

With respect to Google Analytics, you can read about how Google uses data gathered for that purpose here.

13.4 Third party cookies: advertising and affiliate links

Our ad partners and our affiliate links partners collect personal data from you for the purposes they disclose through our cookie consent management platform.

Our ad partners use third party cookies to serve ads to you and to target you with tailored (or personalized) ads when you are using the Services and when you visit Third-Party Sites. They also use cookies to measure traffic on the Services (for example to track ad views).

Ad partners and affiliate links partners may view, edit or set their own cookies on your mobile device or web browser when you interact with our Services. They use cookies to track your use of our Services and your activities elsewhere online. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties and we encourage you to read their privacy policies so that you understand how they process information about you. We provide links to their privacy policies in our consent management platform.

Additionally, you have the right to access, delete and opt out from the “sale” of your personal data. Specifically, California residents may request that we:

The CCPA further provides you with the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising your rights.

Note for non-California residents: We will seek to honor requests to exercise the above rights made by non-California residents to the extent required by applicable law.

15.2 California Notice of Right to Opt-Out of “Sale”

California residents may opt out of the “sale” of their personal data.

Advertising, including targeted advertising, enables us to provide you certain content for free and allows us to provide you content relevant to you.

If you would like to opt out of our use of your personal data for such purposes, you may do as outlined by contacting us at ylnrsyb.dev@gmail.com. This will cause data to cease to be added to any cookies or other tracking technologies that have been set on our Services or block them entirely.
