Privacy Policy

We are Crunch Digital Media, a company incorporated in England and Wales. Our registered office is at SF7 Ethos Building, Swansea, SA1 8AS (“Crunch” / “we”/ “our” / “us”).

At Crunch we are committed to safeguarding and preserving the privacy of our visitors. We will continue to comply with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998 (“DPA”) until and including 24th May 2018, after which we will comply with The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) unless and until the GDPR is no longer directly applicable in the UK, together with any national implementing laws, regulations and secondary legislation as amended or updated from time to time in the UK, and any successor legislation to the GDPR and the DPA (together “Data Protection Legislation”).

This privacy policy explains how and when Crunch collects, uses and shares your information, what happens to any personal data that you provide to us, or that we collect from you whilst you visit our site or communicate with us.

By visiting the website www.crunchdigitalmedia.com you consent to the collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure and other uses of your information as described in this privacy policy. If you do not consent, please do not submit any personal data to us. We update this privacy policy from time to time so please review this privacy policy regularly.

Crunch receives your information through you signing up to our newsletters, contacting us via our contact us and/or careers page, from our APIs, applications and from our partners and other third parties. Irrespective of which country you reside in or supply information from, you authorise Crunch to use your information in any country where Crunch operates.

If you wish to no longer receive newsletters or other marketing communication from us, you can opt out via the unsubscribe link in the marketing emails or by following the process mentioned below in the ‘your rights in respect of your data’ section.

Information collection and use

We collect and use your information below to provide our services and to measure and improve our services from time to time.

Location Information: We may use other data from your device to determine location, for example, information about wireless networks or mobile phone towers near your mobile device, or your IP address. We may use and store information about your location to provide features of our services to improve and customise the services, for example, with more relevant content like local trends, stories, ads, and suggestions for people to follow.

Links: Crunch may keep track of how you interact with links across our website, including our third-party services, and client applications, by redirecting clicks or through other means. We do this to help improve our services, to provide more relevant advertising, and to be able to share aggregate statistics such as the frequency of a particular link being clicked on.

Cookies: The website uses cookies and similar technologies to collect additional application usage data and to improve our services, but we do not require cookies for many parts of our services such as searching and looking at public user profiles. Crunch may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to better understand how you interact with our services, to monitor aggregate usage by our users and traffic routing on our services, and to customise and improve our services. Most applications automatically accept cookies. Please see our cookie policy for more information.

Google Analytics: We will also install Google Analytics in the apps, devices, or mobile apps to collect your behaviours in using our services. We will also recommend some other services that may be suitable or appeal to you based on our analysis.

Other Google Technologies: From time to time, we may also use Google’s advertising products, such as AdWords, to deliver marketing messages. To understand how Google uses information from sites and apps in these services, refer to Google’s articles here – https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Log Data: When you use the Crunch website, we may receive information (“Log Data”) such as your IP address, device information (including device and application IDs) and search terms. Crunch uses Log Data to provide, understand, and improve our services.

We process personal information for certain legitimate business purposes, which include some or all the following:

• where the processing enables us to enhance, modify, personalise or otherwise improve our website, our services and communications for the benefit of our customers;
• to identify and prevent fraud;
• to enhance the security of our network and information systems;
• to better understand how people interact with our website;
• administer the website and carry out data analysis, troubleshooting and testing; and
• to determine the effectiveness of promotional campaigns and advertising.

We do not disclose your private personal information except in the limited circumstances as listed below;

1. Your Consent: We may share or disclose your information at your direction, such as when you authorise a third-party web client or application to access the Crunch website.
2. Law and Harm: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this privacy policy, we may preserve or disclose your information if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety of any person; to address fraud, security or technical issues; or to protect Crunch’s rights or property. However, nothing in this privacy policy is intended to limit any legal defences or objections that you may have to a third party, including a government, request to disclose your information.
3. Business Transfers: If Crunch is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, re-organisation or sale of assets, your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. This privacy policy will apply to your information as transferred to the new entity.
4. Non-Private or Non-Personal Information: We may share or disclose your non-private, aggregated or otherwise non-personal information, such as your public user profile information, the people you share your information with, or the number of users who clicked on a particular link (even if only one did), or reports to advertisers about unique users who saw or clicked on their ads after we have removed any private personal information (such as your name or contact information).
5. You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. If you would like to withdraw your consent or prefer not to receive any information from us, please let us know by emailing us at sayhello@crunchdigtalmedia.com.
