Outing Panda PRIVACY STATEMENT

Last updated: August 1, 2024

Outing Panda  (“Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) understands that privacy is important to our users. This Privacy Statement describes our practices regarding the collection, use, sharing, and protection of your personal information in connection the services, products, features, and offerings we provide to you (the “Services”), including without limitation our print magazine subscriptions, and our digital Services like Outingpanda.com, other digital sites, communications, and media (the “Site”) (collectively, the “Properties”). This Privacy Statement also tells you about the rights and choices you have with respect to your personal information, how you can assert those rights, and how you can contact us to get answers to your questions.

With respect to the personal information that our clients and their vendors collect from you outside of our Properties and/or Services (“Service Data”), where permitted by law, we generally process such information only as a “service provider” or “data processor” (as those terms are defined under applicable data protection laws) on behalf of our clients, who act as the “business” or “data controller” (as those terms are defined under applicable data protection laws). Our clients—for example, companies that use our lead generation services—are the parties that control the use of the Service Data and determine the purposes for which we process such information. While this Privacy Statement describes how we process Service Data on behalf of our clients, our clients are responsible for their own practices in collecting, using, and disclosing information they collect from you. To learn more about such clients’ use of your information and your rights that you may have over such information, please consult the privacy policy of the applicable company or publisher.

Please note that our privacy practices are subject to the applicable laws of the regions in which we operate. Accordingly, some additional region-specific terms will only apply to individuals in those locations, or as required by applicable laws.

BY USING OR ACCESSING THE PROPERTIES, YOU AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH OUR POLICIES OR PRACTICES, YOU SHOULD NOT USE OR ACCESS THE PROPERTIES OR PROVIDE US WITH ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION.

WHAT OUR PRIVACY STATEMENT COVERS

This Privacy Statement applies only to user information collected or created by us or shared with us in relation to our Properties or Services. While you may encounter links on the Properties to other websites, such as those relating to our third-party sponsors, advertisers, and other partners (e.g., our affiliate network operators), including when you sign into Outingpanda.com using a social media or digital wallet service, please note that these websites are not covered by this Privacy Statement (unless otherwise noted on such site, which may be the case if, for example, the site is also owned and operated by Outingpanda.com).

We may provide different or additional privacy notices in connection with certain activities, programs, and offerings (for example, if you submit a job application through the Properties). Additionally, we may provide additional “just-in-time” notices or notices at collection that may supplement or clarify our privacy practices or provide you with additional choices regarding your personal information.

This Privacy Statement does not apply to the activities of Outing Panda third-party sponsors, advertisers, and other partners (e.g., our affiliate network operators) that may collect your personal information while you access or use such third party’s services in connection with your use of our Properties (e.g., social media and sharing services, digital wallet logins, widgets, and/or interactive mini-programs that run on the Properties). This Privacy Statement also does not apply to Outing Panda third-party licensees, who manage and run their own branded services and sites, some of whom the Properties link out to. The privacy and information practices of those third parties are not covered by this Privacy Statement. To learn more about the policies of such third parties, we encourage you to read and review the privacy statements of each third-party service that you may choose to use.

When you subscribe to one of our digital Services;

When you register or become a member of the Site or provide information to us in any other manner, you agree to provide only true, accurate, current and complete information.

Personal Information We Collect Automatically

When you visit our Properties, open or click on emails we send you, or interact with our advertisements or games, we or third parties we work with may automatically collect certain information using technologies such as cookies and other tracking technologies described below.

Cookies and Similar Technology

“Cookies” are pieces of information that may be placed on your device by a website for the purpose of collecting data to facilitate and enhance your communication and interaction with that website. Such data may include, for example, the address of the websites you visited before and after you visited our Properties, the type of browser you are using, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, what pages in the Properties you visited and what links you clicked on, the region where your device is located, and geographic information based on your IP data. We may store some information on your device or device hard drive as a cookie or similar type of file (such as clear gifs, pixels, web beacons, tags, and similar technologies that work on mobile devices) to collect data related to usage of the Properties. We may also use cookies to customize your visit to the Properties (including our emails) and for other purposes to make your visit more convenient or to enable us to enhance the Properties. 

Cookies fall into the subcategories below:

Required (sometimes referred to as “Essential”). Certain cookies are used for specific purposes that are essential to your secure use and navigation of the Properties so that we are able to provide you with the services you request. Without them, Outing Panda may not be able to provide core Property functions and features to you, and the Property would not operate as well as you or Outing Panda would like. For example, they enable core functions like carrying out network transmissions and enabling you to log in to our systems. They also enable us to comply with legal obligations in regions with laws that apply to cookies, like by maintaining your cookie consent choices in regions that require consent or, in opt-out regions, by preventing advertising-related or other optional digital trackers from being placed on your browser or device if you have opted out. These cookies collect and use information such as your server preferences, single-session data and corresponding identifier, web beacons and log files (detailed below), and other credential-related information. Required cookies cannot be switched off on our Properties.

Functional. Other cookies may be used to collect and process information about your preferences and similar choices in connection with the Properties in order to allow us to provide enhanced functionality, customization and personalization, such as by remembering your login information or other choices or by providing you with more personalized features (e.g., various local preference settings; which geographically-customized version of the Properties and related content you may prefer). Functional cookies include social media cookies, which collect information about your social media usage and other data you may have provided in connection with such usage (if you access the Site through a social media website or mobile application, you may have social media cookies). If you wish to modify or change your social media cookies, please visit and review the settings on your applicable social media account(s).

Analytics. These cookies allow us to better understand our users’ actions and interests, for instance, by tracking clicks, visits, and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Properties and services. This allows us to provide a high-quality experience by customizing our offerings and quickly identifying and fixing any issues that arise. For example, we might use analytics cookies to keep track of which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages.

Advertising. To help support the Properties and further tailor your experience, Outing Panda and its advertising partners (and/or their third-party analytics providers) may also use cookies on the Properties (including in emails) to personalize the content and advertisements you may be shown. Such advertisements use cookies to provide you targeted advertisements that may be more consistent with your interests than non-targeted advertisements. Certain Outing Panda advertising partners may also use cookies to monitor or track the performance of their advertising content, including native advertising content (e.g., BrandVoice), including how you interact with the advertising content, even in situations where the ad is displayed on another site. If you do not allow these trackers on our Properties, you may still receive advertisements, but you may receive less relevant advertising or content.

In certain countries and U.S. states, you can opt out or set preferences regarding cookies using our cookie management tool when a device you utilize visits our Properties. You may also be able to set preferences related to certain interest-based advertisements and targeted ads by using tools provided by self-regulatory programs like the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) program at www.aboutads.info/consumers and the Network Advertising Initiative at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/. To learn how, please see the Your Choices section below.

The Properties’ web and ad servers log information about a user’s IP address, browser type, and the current URL the user is requesting. This information is always provided by a user’s browser and automatically logged by most websites. These log files are stored in a secure location and used for internal business purposes such as internal analysis of traffic patterns within our Properties.

Clickstream Data

As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each website you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as “clickstream data,” can be collected and stored by a website’s server. Clickstream data can tell us the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the website from which you linked to the Properties. We may collect and use clickstream data as a form of aggregate information to anonymously determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our Properties, how visitors navigate throughout the Properties, and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors. This information will be used to improve our Properties.

Analytics

We may work with third-party vendors who use the technologies described in this section to conduct website analytics to help us track and understand how visitors use our Properties. One such provider is Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help analyze how users use the Properties. The information generated by these cookies about your use (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Properties, compiling reports on activity for its staff, and providing other services relating to web page activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. You may refuse the use of such cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. By using the Properties and accepting cookies, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above. Please refer to the currently available opt-outs for Google Analytics by visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

Service Data

We may obtain Service Data from or on behalf of our clients and their vendors, which we process on behalf of our clients in accordance with our contracts with them.

Third-Party Sources

From time to time, we may collect personal information about you from third party sources (including data append services such as public or social graph data, data co-ops, or social media websites if you have chosen to log in or connect your social media with our Properties) which we will use for our business or commercial purposes (for example, in order to contact you and/or to better serve you with content or promotions). However, we will only use this information where these third parties either have your consent or are otherwise legally permitted or required to disclose your personal information to us. We may also collect publicly available information from third party sources. To the extent that such information constitutes personal information, we shall use such it in accordance with this Privacy Statement or as permitted by law.

When you sign into our Properties or purchase a paid subscription on our Properties using a social media log-in, you give permission to that social media company to share certain information with us. For example, if you sign in or purchase a subscription using Facebook or LinkedIn, you give permission to Facebook or LinkedIn (as applicable) to share with us your email address and certain other information in your social media profile that you have designated as public. This will be limited to your full name, age range, profile picture (if you have one) and link to your Facebook or LinkedIn profile (as applicable). If you log in or purchase a subscription using your Google account, you give Google permission to share personal information with us that you have made public in your Google profile. This will be limited to your full name, your email address (and whether your email has been validated), your age range, your profile picture (if you have one) and a link to your Google profile. If you log in or purchase a subscription using your Apple ID, you give Apple permission to share your personal information with us (however, you can choose to hide your email address and Apple will instead create a random email address so that your personal email can stay private). This email address will be linked to your account and allow you to access your subscribed content.

We will use the information described above to form a profile for your account, to enable you to purchase a paid subscription, and/or as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Statement. You have the option to later configure your Facebook, LinkedIn, or Google settings, or Apple ID to remove permissions for Outing Panda to access to this information. However, this will not affect our ability to use the information that we already received when you first set up your account (or purchased a subscription) using that social media login, so long as we use it for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Statement.

Because non-personal information does not personally identify you, we may collect, use, and disclose such information for any purpose permitted by law. In some instances, we may combine non-personal information with personal information. If we combine any non-personal information with personal information, the combined information will be treated by us as personal information.

The Properties may offer features that allow you to post content. You should be aware that personal information which you voluntarily include and transmit online in a publicly accessible blog, forum, social network, or otherwise online may be viewed and used by others. As a general reminder, please think carefully before you decide to put anything on the Internet. For example, if you voluntarily disclose personal information in chat areas or bulletin boards (e.g., comment sections), that information could be seen and used by others, and may result in unsolicited messages from others. We are not responsible for the information you may choose to submit in these public forums. To request removal of your personal information from our blog or community forum, please contact us using the information provided in the section titled Contacting Us. In some cases, for legal retention purposes or technical limitations (e.g., the data may not be searchable), we may not be able to remove personal information voluntarily disclosed by you in such forums, in which case, we will notify you.

With respect to how we use Service Data, we use that information to provide Services to our clients.

HOW WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION

In addition to using your personal information ourselves, we may send your personal information and other information to other companies, affiliates, and third parties in the following instances:

Service Providers

We may share your personal information with service providers who may use your information to provide us services including, but not limited to: website hosting, data analysis, infrastructure provision, information technology services, conducting surveys and contests, customer service, email or SMS delivery services, payment processing and recouping, auditing, consulting, magazine management and shipping, event management, data security, and anti-fraud monitoring.

Corporate Affiliates

We may share personal information with our corporate affiliates and subsidiaries, who process personal information on our behalf as our vendor, where necessary to provide a product or service that you have requested or in other circumstances with your consent or as permitted or required by law.

Business and Advertising Partners

We may share personal information with our business partners, which may include information shared for the purposes of marketing or interest-based advertising. If you provide any user information via an advertiser promotion, please be aware you are directly providing your user information to that advertiser.

We may share certain event registrant user information with sponsors of our live or virtual events (e.g., attendee name, title, company name) or with our licensees in circumstances where a licensee works with Outing Panda in the promotion or such an event, subject to applicable law.

For Service Data processed on behalf of our clients, like lead generation data or data collected in connection with a survey conducted for a client, we share the Service Data with our clients.

Legal Compliance and to Defend Our Rights

We may disclose personal information and other information as we believe necessary or appropriate: (a) under applicable law, including laws outside your country of residence; (b) to comply with legal process; (c) to respond to requests from public and government authorities including public and government authorities outside your country of residence; (d) to enforce our Terms and Conditions; (e) to protect our operations or those of any of our affiliates; (f) to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or that of our affiliates, you, or others; and (g) to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.

We may share your personal information and other information with third parties in connection with a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of the assets of the Company, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which information held by the Company about our Properties users is among the assets transferred. In this case, we may notify you if applicable law requires.

Consent

Outing Panda may disclose your Personal Information to third parties with your consent or pursuant to your direction.

DATA SECURITY

We care about the protection of your personal information and use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to do so. These measures are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing of your personal information. 

Your user information is stored on Outing Panda servers. We use industry standard physical, electronic, and organizational safeguards to protect your user information against loss or theft as well as unauthorized access and disclosure to protect your privacy. We employ many different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorized access by users inside and outside of the company. We also ensure that, in accordance with good industry practice, we have in place security measures to protect your personal information from interception, including in transit between our different systems and devices. This includes having in place network protection to deny attackers the ability to intercept data and the encryption of your personal information while in transit to deny attackers the ability to read data.

Of course, it’s important to keep in mind that no data transmission on the Internet is guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you are concerned that your privacy may have been breached or that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us as provided below.

DATA RETENTION

We will retain your user information for as long as we have an ongoing legitimate business need to use your user information (for example you have an active account with us or to comply with applicable tax, legal, or accounting requirements). When there is no longer such a need, we will delete it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in back-up archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. We will also delete certain user information we may retain about you upon your request.

INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING

Targeted Advertising / Behavioral Advertising

We may ourselves, or with third-party vendors, use personal information to deliver targeted advertising to you when you visit other websites or our Properties (including emails). Cookies, clickstream data, and other similar technologies described above may be used in this process. For example, if you are searching for information on a particular product, we or our vendor may cause an advertisement to appear on other websites you view with information on that product. This form of advertising, sometimes called “targeted advertising,” “behavioral advertising,” or “cross-context behavioral advertising,” enables us and our vendors to know your interests in connection with the delivery of that specific ad. We believe that such advertising is helpful because you will see advertisements that are relevant to your interests. We comply with the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising as administered by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA). If you would like to opt out of these interest-based advertisements, please follow the opt-out process described below under Your Choices.

Cross Device Matching

We may use information we have collected to help us, or our third-party vendors, determine if you have interacted with our Properties across multiple devices and to match such devices. To accomplish this, we may rely on information (including demographic, geographic, and interest-based data) from third parties such as data vendors, pursuant to their own privacy policies, or we may use information we collect in conjunction with such third-party data. Based on this data, we may then display targeted advertisements across devices that we believe are associated and may provide other services to our advertisers to better enable cross-device targeting and analysis. For further instructions on restricting our use of certain cross-device data, please see Your Choices below.

YOUR CHOICES

Consistent with applicable law, you may exercise the options described in this section regarding your choices with respect to your personal information and communications from us. You may also have certain additional rights available depending on your state or country of residence, as described further below.

Rights and Opt-Outs

You may ask to opt out of direct email marketing, push notifications to your digital wallets, and SMS communications from Outing Panda by following the unsubscribe instructions contained in the communication you have received. For marketing emails, this is typically through an “unsubscribe” or “opt-out” link. To opt out of other forms of marketing, please contact us using the information provided in the section titled Contacting Us below.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Virginia, or the People’s Republic of China, you may have additional rights as set forth in the subsequent sections of this Privacy Statement.

Cookies, Tracking, and Interest-Based Advertising

In certain countries and U.S. states, you can opt out or set preferences regarding cookies when a device you utilize visits our Properties, by visiting the URL HERE to access our cookie management tool. Please note that you will need to set preferences on each device you use to visit our Properties.

If you would like to use your browser to stop or restrict the placement of non-Required (e.g., non-essential) cookies or flush any cookies that may already be on your computer or device, you may also refer to and adjust your web browser preferences. Further information on cookies is available at www.allaboutcookies.org. By deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our Properties or some of the functionality may be affected.

The online advertising industry provides a service through which you may opt out of receiving targeted ads from certain data partners and other advertising partners that participate in self-regulatory programs. You can opt out of targeted advertising from certain providers that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) program at www.aboutads.info/consumers. Other providers are members of the Network Advertising Initiative, and you can opt out of interest-based advertising by those members by visiting http://optout.networkadvertising.org/. Please note that by opting out, you may continue to see generic advertising that is not tailored to your specific interests and activities. Additionally, be advised that these industry opt-out methods will not prevent the receipt of interest-based advertising from other companies that do not participate in these programs.

Cookie-based opt-outs must be performed on each device and browser that you wish to have opted out. For example, if you have opted out on your device browser, that opt-out will not be effective on your mobile device, and if you opt out on one of your devices, that opt out may not be effective on all of your devices.

If you are visiting our Properties from a mobile device, the operating system of the device may offer you options regarding how the device collects and uses your information for interest-based advertising. Please visit https://thenai.org/opt-out/mobile-opt-out/ for more information. For targeted advertisements delivered through mobile apps, you can install the DAA’s AppChoices app on your device to opt out of targeted advertising by certain providers, and can also select a system-level advertising preference on your device (such as “Limit Ad Tracking” on Apple devices or “Opt-out of Interest-Based Ads” on Android devices).

Do Not Track

While some browsers have a “do not track” (also known as DNT) feature that lets you instruct websites not to track your online activities, we do not respond to or honor DNT signals or similar mechanisms transmitted by web browsers. However, in jurisdictions where required, our Properties are designed to honor opt-out preference (aka, Global Privacy Control) signals.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Statement from time to time in response to changing legal, technical or business developments. This Privacy Statement describes our data handling practices for the 12 months prior to the date on which it was last updated.

We encourage you to periodically review the Site for the latest information on our privacy practices. Your continued use of the Properties following the posting of any changes to this Privacy Statement means you accept such changes.

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising:

Promotional offers from us: We may use your personal data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing). You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or used our services and, in each case, you have consented to our use of your personal data for marketing purposes.

Data Subject Rights

If you are situated in the European Union, Switzerland, or the UK, under the GDPR, as a data subject, you have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully, or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

To exercise your rights under the GDPR, click here or contact us by using the information in the Contacting Us section in the Privacy Statement. Please note that in order for you to assert these rights, we may need to verify your identity to confirm your right to access your personal data. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. In order to verify your identity, we may need to gather more personal data from you than we currently have.
