Information We Share

We may share information about your use of MultiCam Sites for certain business purposes, as follows:


Third-Party Advertising and Online Behavioral Advertising

You may be provided with online advertisements of MultiCam products and services on third-party websites and mobile services that are tailored to you, for example, on the basis of information that you provide to MultiCam or a third-party website you are visiting, or of your browsing activity, purchases, or interests. These types of tailored online advertisements may come through several sources, such as the following:

  • We may share with our advertising service providers your information that we have obtained from cookies and other tracking technologies on our MultiCam Sites.
  • We may share information about your use of MultiCam Sites with third parties for certain business purposes, including personalizing and delivering online marketing and advertising. We utilize Google Display Advertising (such as Retargeting with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting) to (1) show you our ads on other websites based on your prior visits to MultiCam Sites and (2) better understand our ad impressions and use of ad services. In connection with the Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting service, we may use data from Google's interest-based advertising or third-party audience data (such as age, gender and interests) with Google Analytics to understand and improve our marketing campaigns and site content.
  • Some MultiCam Sites participate in online behavioral advertising (this is also sometimes called re-target advertising or interest-based advertising). You can identify these sites by the “Advertising Choices” link in the footer. Our advertising network partners may place and use cookies on MultiCam Web sites and on other third-party websites to collect information about your activities in order to provide you with online advertisements that are based on your interests. When a MultiCam online behavioral advertisement is delivered to you, you will see an “Ad Choices” icon. Clicking on the icon or link will take you to a website where you can manage or opt out of the use of data about your browsing history that is used for the delivery of online behavioral advertisements. If you opt out, you may still see advertisements online, including advertisements from MultiCam that are based on other information (e.g., based on the content of the page being viewed rather than your prior clickstream activity). In some cases, data may still be collected about your browsing activity by these third-party advertisers, but they will not use this data to deliver advertisements that are based on your past online browsing behavior. You can also opt out now by clicking here.
  • Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to websites with which the browser communicates. As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, an industry standard has not yet been established on how to respond to these signals. Therefore, MultiCam does not currently respond to these signals. As discussed above, you can opt-out from advertisers that use your browsing history to deliver online behavioral advertisements by visiting adchoices.

We have relationships with suppliers and affiliated companies, who help us operate our business and for whom it may be necessary to have access to your Personal Data in the course of providing services to MultiCam.
