Privacy Policy

 

Narcity Media Group ("us," "we," "the Company", or "our") owns and operates  Narcity.com and MTLBlog.com (the "Sites"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information we receive from users of the Sites.

We use your personal information only for providing and improving the Sites. By using the Sites, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, accessible at both https://www.narcity.com/terms-conditions and https://www.mtlblog.com/terms-conditions.

Information collection and use

While using our Sites, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, gender, age, profile picture and phone number ("Personal Information").

Like many site operators, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Site ("Log Data"). This Log Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics.

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Sites. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here.

We also may share the information you provide, from time to time, to our Brand Partners on specially marked Sponsored content and/or interactive rich media across our Sites and Social Media channels, for the purposes of fulfilling a contest, information and/or sales lead.

Mobile application & user accounts

By using the mobile application or signing up for a user account, you agree to provide one or more of the following information for us to store on our servers:

  • Your full name;
  • Your profile picture;
  • Your email;
  • Your phone number;
  • Your gender;
  • Your age;
  • A list of your favourite articles;
  • Your preferences;
  • A Facebook or Google identifier

Since you provide your own preferences, we do not use any suggestion algorithm based on your read history nor do we use any automated system based on your behaviour on the application.

In compliance with the new Europe regulations about user data (GDPR), you can destroy your account at any time in your Account Settings. Doing so will result in the deletion of all information related to your account from our server.

If you have provided us with your email, we will also be storing your email with our email service provider, SendGrid. We will only be using this service to send you relevant emails such as new content and account updates. If you do not want us to send your email to SendGrid for communication purposes, please send us an email here.

Cookies

Cookies are files with small amounts of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your computer's hard drive.

Like many sites, we use "cookies" to collect information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Sites.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Links to other sites

Our Sites may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Sites. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. If a revision meaningfully reduces your rights, we will notify you at least thirty (30) days before the effective date of the changes. If we are involved in a merger or reorganization or if there is a change of control within our Company, your information may be transferred as part of that deal. In such case, we will notify you and outline your options.
