on Our Sites and Apps, may use cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and other technologies
(“Technologies”) to automatically collect information about You when you access Sites
and Apps by the means of a computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other devices ("Device")
that allow Us to record certain pieces of information.

2.8.1 Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed in Your Deviceʼs browser to store Your preferences.
Most browsers allow You to block and delete cookies. However, if You do that, the Sites
may not work properly.

2.8.2 Pixel Tags/Web Beacons

A pixel tag (also known as a web beacon) is a piece of code embedded on Sites that
collects information about Your engagement on that web page (such as whether You
clicked a particular web page or advertisement).

2.8.3 Analytics Information


We use Google Analytics to collect information regarding visitor behavior and visitor
demographics on some of Our Services, and to develop website content. These data are
not tied to any Personal Information. For more information about Google Analytics,
please visit https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can opt out of
Googleʼs collection and Processing of data generated by Your use of the Services by
going to http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Our uses of such Technologies fall into the following general categories:

operate Our Sites and Apps; that are required to identify irregular Site and App
behavior, prevent fraudulent activity and improve security; or that allow You to
access and make use of Our Sites and Apps.
Performance Related. We may use certain Technologies to assess the
performance of Our Sites and Apps, including as part of Our analysis of the way
You use the Sites and Apps, to determine if You have interacted with Our
messaging, to determine whether You have viewed an item or link, or to improve
Our Sites and Apps.
Functionality Related. We may use certain Technologies to o er You enhanced

presentation of content to You on Our sites.

and web beacons to deliver content, including ads relevant to Your interests, on
Our sites or on Third Party sites. This includes using technologies to understand
the usefulness to You of the advertisements and content that has been delivered
to You, such as whether You have clicked on an advertisement.

placing advertising on the Site, and Freestar will collect and use certain data for
advertising purposes. To learn more about Freestarʼs data usage, click here.

applications, or tools, You may do so by blocking, deleting, or disabling them as Your

Scribd may provide Sites and Apps that are compatible with mobile devices. Scribd will
collect certain Personal Information that Your mobile device sends when You use such
Sites and Apps, such as device identifiers, user settings, and the operating system of
Your device. Scribd may use such information to enhance these tools, to develop new
tools, for quality improvement and as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy or in
other notices Scribd provides.

2.10 Anonymous and Aggregated Information


Scribd may use Your Personal Information and other information about You to create
and analyze anonymized and aggregated information. Anonymized and aggregated
information is used to measure visitorsʼ interest in and use the Sites and Apps, interest
in certain contents and features, and other applications. Anonymized or aggregated
information is generally not considered to be Personal Information, and Scribd may use
such information in a number of ways, including research, internal analysis, analytics
and any other legally permissible purposes. We may share this information within
Scribd and with Third Parties for Our or their purposes in an anonymized or aggregated
form that is designed to prevent anyone from identifying You.

3.0 How to Opt Out of Certain Uses of Your


Personal Information
You have the right to opt out of certain uses and disclosures of Your Personal
Information, as set out in your local laws and this Privacy Policy. Please refer to the
Privacy Rights Request form or email us at privacy@scribd.com.

You may withdraw your prior consent of Scribdʼs Processing of Your Personal
Information at any time and opt out by contacting Scribd through the Privacy Rights
Request form or via email at privacy@scribd.com and by providing adequate
information necessary for Scribd to identify You and Your account. Additionally, before
We use Personal Information for any new purpose not originally authorized by You, We
will provide information regarding the new purpose and give You the opportunity to opt
out.

Scribd will endeavor to obtain Your explicit consent (also known as opt-in) in areas
where such consent is required by law or contract prior to disclosing Personal
Information to a Third Party, or Processing Personal Information for a purpose other
than its original purpose or the purpose subsequently authorized by You. Scribd will
a irmatively Process Your request to opt-out of Scribdʼs use of Your Personal

employment relationship, Scribd will use such Personal Information only for

intends to use this Personal Information for any other purpose, Scribd will provide the
Data Subject with an opportunity to opt-out of such uses.

3.4 The “Do Not Track” Setting in Your Browser


The Do Not Track (“DNT”) setting is an uno icial privacy preference that users can set in
certain web browsers that instructs websites to not track or share certain information
collected as You browse. The DNT standard was not widely adopted and therefore
Scribd does not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals. For information
about “do-not-track”, visit http://www.allaboutdnt.org. New users to the Sites and Apps
will be prompted to provide information about cookie and privacy preferences.

4.0 Information We Share


Scribd does not sell, share, or otherwise disclose Personal Information about You,
except when You allow Us to do so, or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.
Scribd endeavors to require Third Parties to which it discloses Personal Information to

obligation.

perform services on Our behalf including (i) provision of IT and related services; (ii)

contracted services on Our behalf or to comply with applicable legal requirements.

Scribd may o er additional features that allow You to share Your information with a
Third Party. If You tell Us to do so, Scribd will share limited amounts of information with
the Third Party in order to enable the feature You choose. We will tell You what
information the Third Party may receive when You initially instruct Us to share it. Please
be aware that any information You provide to a Third Party will be subject to that Third
Partyʼs privacy policy.

Scribd will share Your information with a Third Party for as long as You use the Third
Party feature. You can disable this at any time in Your Scribd settings under Settings.

4.3 Business Partners

products or services We believe may be of interest to You. In such cases, Our business
partnerʼs name will appear, along with Scribdʼs. Scribd requires Our a iliates and
business partners to agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality and security of
Personal Information they maintain on Our behalf and not to use it for any purpose
other than the purpose for which it was provided.

4.4 Information Disclosed for Our Protection and the


Protection of Others
We may disclose information about You: (i) if We are required to do so by law, court
order, or another su icient legal process; (ii) in response to lawful requests by public
authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements; (iii)
under the discovery process in litigation; (iv) to enforce Scribd policies or contracts; (v)
to collect amounts owed to Scribd; (vi) when We believe disclosure is necessary or
appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an
investigation or prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity; or (vii) if We, in good
faith, believe that disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable.

In addition, from time to time, server logs may be reviewed for security purposes – e.g.,
to detect unauthorized activity. In such cases, server log data containing IP addresses
may be shared with law enforcement bodies in order that they may identify users in
connection with their investigation of the unauthorized activities.

Scribd reserves the right to refuse to share Personal Information with any Third Party
if Scribd determines that sharing such information could be unlawfully harmful to
You.

4.5 Information Disclosed in Connection with


Business Transactions
We reserve the right to disclose or transfer any information We have about You in the
event of a proposed or actual purchase, any reorganization, sale, lease, merger, joint
venture, assignment, amalgamation or any other type of acquisition, disposal or
financing of all or any portion of Our business or of any of the business assets or shares
(including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceeding). Should such an
event occur, Scribd will endeavor to direct the transferee to use Personal Information in
a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.

4.6 Data Transfers


All Personal Information sent or collected via or by Scribd may be stored anywhere in
the world, including but not limited to the United States, Our servers, the servers of Our
a iliates, and the servers of Our service providers. Your Personal Information may be

providing information to Scribd, You consent to the storage of Your Personal
Information in these locations.

5.0 How to Enforce Your Rights of Access,


Recti cation, Erasure and Restriction

receive (port), restrict processing, seek rectification or request erasure of Your Personal
Information held by Scribd. Such requests will be processed in line with Your local laws
to the extent possible by this Privacy Policy.

Although Scribd makes good faith e orts to provide You with access to Your Personal
Information, there may be circumstances in which Scribd is unable to provide access,
including but not limited to: (i) where the information contains legal privilege; (ii) would
compromise othersʼ privacy or other legitimate rights; (iii) where the burden or expense
of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to Your privacy. If Scribd
determines that access should be restricted in any particular instance, We will provide
You with an explanation of why that determination has been made and a contact point
for any further inquiries. To protect Your privacy, Scribd will take commercially
reasonable steps to verify Your identity before granting access to or making any changes
to Your Personal Information.

6.0 Retention
Scribd retains the Personal Information that We receive as described in this Privacy
Policy for as long as You use Our Services or as necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) for
which it was collected, provide Our products and services, resolve disputes, establish
legal defenses, conduct audits, pursue legitimate business purposes, enforce Our
agreements and comply with applicable laws.

7.0 Security
The security of all Personal Information provided to Scribd is important to us, and
Scribd takes reasonable steps designed to protect Your Personal
Information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or storage of
information is guaranteed to be secure. As a result, while Scribd strives to protect Your
Personal Information, We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information You
transmit to Scribd, and You do so at Your own risk. You are responsible for maintaining
the secrecy of Your own passwords. If You have reason to believe that Your passwords or

9.0 Other Rights and Important


Information.
9.1 Information Regarding Children
Due to the nature of Scribdʼs business, services and benefits are not marketed to
persons less than 13 years of age, and in certain jurisdictions under the age of 18

Scribd at any time or in any manner without authorization.

Protecting a Minorʼs privacy is especially important. For that reason, Scribd does not
knowingly collect or maintain personally identifiable information from Minors under
13. If Scribd learns that personally-identifiable information of minors has been collected
on or through Scribd, then Scribd will take the appropriate steps to delete this
information. If You are the parent or legal guardian of a minor who has become Scribd
member, then please contact Scribd at privacy@scribd.com to have that minorʼs
account terminated and information deleted.

The following are some resources that may help parents and legal guardians in
