Privacy Policy
What does this Privacy Policy Cover?
This policy applies to Peloton Media Inc.’s (“Peloton Media”) collection, use, storage and disclosure of information by Peloton Media on its (a) websites, including all its divisions, subsidiaries and related companies (collectively, the “Websites”), (b) on various third party websites, and (c) to Peloton Media Other Information collection, including the purchase or acquisition of customer information from third parties. Peloton Media has drafted this policy to comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”), in addition to global requirements and directives such as the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (“Applicable Data Protection Laws”).
Peloton Media is not responsible for the information collection or privacy practices of third party web sites or applications but will not knowingly transfer data to third parties with non-compliant information collection or privacy practices as per Applicable Data Protection Laws. Any capitalized terms not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in PIPEDA or the GDPR, as applicable.
Collection of Personal Information for Processing
1. Data Processor. Peloton Media collects information from individuals by various methods. As a Data Processor, such information is collected by Peloton Media on behalf of its own customers (“Customers”), who engage Peloton Media as a marketing and advertising consultant. Peloton Media is not a Data Controller in the provision of its services for Customers. For clarity, Customers of Peloton Media are Data Controllers.
2. Third Party Information. Peloton Media collects information from individuals when an individual provides information to a third party and Peloton Media subsequently purchases, licenses, or otherwise acquires the information from the third party (the “Seller”), such as through participation in the Third Party’s loyalty rewards program. Such purchased or acquired information may include, but is not limited to, an individual’s name, email address, street address, postal code, telephone numbers (including cell phone numbers and carriers), birth date, gender, salary range, credit card information, education and marital status, occupation, member points balance, industry of employment, personal and online interests, and such other information as the individual may have provided to the Seller (together, “Third Party List Information”). When acquiring Third Party List Information, Peloton Media seeks assurances from the Seller that the Seller has a right to transfer the Third Party List Information to Peloton Media and that the Seller has a right to provide offers from advertisers to the individuals whose personal information is included on the Seller’s list. Any acquisition of Third Party Information shall always be compliant with Applicable Data Protection Laws.
3. Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Info Collected Using Technology (“Technology Information”).
a. Cookies. A cookie is a small amount of data stored on the hard drive of the individual’s computer that Peloton Media may use from time to time. This allows Peloton to identify the individual with his or her corresponding data that resides in their database. Peloton Media ensures that cookies, if used in any of its activities, are compliant with Applicable Data Protection Laws.
b. Web Beacons. A web beacon is programming code that can be used to display an image on a web page, but can also be used to transfer an individual’s unique user identification (often in the form of a cookie) to a database and associate the individual with previously acquired information about an individual in a database. This allows Peloton Media to track certain websites an individual visits online. Web beacons are used to determine products or services an individual may be interested in, and to track online behavioral habits for marketing purposes.
c. New Technology. The use of technology on the Internet, including cookies and web beacons, is rapidly evolving, as is Peloton Media’s use of new and evolving technology. As a result, Peloton Media STRONGLY ENCOURAGES INDIVIDUALS TO REVISIT THIS POLICY FOR ANY UPDATES REGARDING ITS USE OF TECHNOLOGY.
d. Outside Information. Peloton Media may receive information about individuals from third parties or from other sources of information outside of Peloton Media including information located in public databases (“Outside Information”).
e. Individual Information- As used herein, Individual Information means Third Party Information, Technology Information, and Outside Information, and any other information Peloton Media gathers or receives about individuals as Data Processor.
f. No Information Collected from Children. In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), Peloton Media will never knowingly collect any personal information about children under the age of 13. If Peloton Media obtains actual knowledge that it has obtained personal information about a child under the age of 13, the information will immediately be deleted from our database. Peloton Media does not collect such information and therefore does not disclose such information to third parties.
4. Vendors. Peloton Media may, if its Customers consent, hire vendors or sub-contractors (“Vendors”) to assist it in providing services to its clients. Peloton Media requires its vendors to abide by all applicable laws, including PIPEDA and GDPR, as a condition of working with Peloton Media, including not sub-contracting any such work without the permission of the Data Controller.
Use of Individual Information
5. Discretion to Use. Peloton Media MAY USE INDIVIDUAL INFORMATION FOR ANY LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE PURPOSE IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION. The following paragraphs describe how Peloton Media currently uses Individual Information, but Peloton Media may change or broaden its use at any time. As noted above and below, Peloton Media may update this policy from time to time. Peloton Media may use Individual Information to provide promotional offers to individuals by means of email advertising, online banner advertising, and other digital or physical advertising opportunities, among other possible uses. If you do not wish us to use personal information about you to promote or sell our products and services or to sell, transfer or otherwise provide personal information about you to third parties, please inform us by contacting info@pelotonmedia.ca and we will honour your request.
6. Targeted Advertising. Peloton Media uses Individual Information to target advertising to an individual. When an individual is using the Internet, Peloton Media uses Technology Information to associate an individual with that person’s Individual Information, and attempt to show advertising for products and services in which the person has expressed or indicated an interest by means of Technology Information or otherwise. Peloton Media may, in its discretion, target advertising by using email, cell phones, banner ads and other means of communication to provide promotional offers. Peloton Media and its Customers may use Individual Information to advertise to individuals through telephones, cell phones and other mobile devices, but only to the extent this permitted by Applicable Data Protection Laws.
7. Use of Technology Information. Peloton Media uses Technology Information (1) to match a person’s Third Party List Information to other categories of Individual Information to make and improve profiles of individuals, (2) to track a person’s online browsing habits on the Internet and (3) to determine which areas of applicable web sites are most frequently visited. This information helps Peloton Media and Customers to better understand the online habits of individuals so that they can target advertising and promotions to them.
8. Individual Profiles. Peloton Media may use Individual Information to make a profile of an individual. A profile can be created by combining Third Party List Information with other sources of Individual Information such as information obtained from public databases or particular web tools.
9. Storage of Individual Information. Peloton Media temporarily stores the Individual Information in a database on its computers. These computers have security measures (such as a firewall) in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under Peloton Media’s control. Notwithstanding such measures, Peloton Media cannot guarantee that its security measures will prevent computers from being illegally accessed, and the Individual Information on them stolen or altered.
Dissemination of Individual Information.
