They are stored on your hard drive and communicate with our servers only when you are visiting our websites. We use cookies to improve the quality of Nafamedia.com. They allow us to monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors and number of pages viewed. They also allow us to optimize Nafamedia.com to make sure that we are delivering the best possible experience to our users.

These companies may use non-personally identifiable information (e.g., click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over) during your visits to Nafamedia.com in order to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you. These companies typically use a cookie or third party web beacon to collect this information. We also partner with a limited number of interest-based advertising companies to serve ads and/or collect certain information when you visit our websites.

Interest-based advertising companies may use cookies to collect non-personally identifiable information during your visit to our websites in order to help show advertisements on other websites likely to be more interesting to you.

USE OF THIRD PARTY AD NETWORKS AND SOCIAL NETWORKS

Nafamedia expects its partners, advertisers to respect the privacy of our users. However, third parties, including our partners, advertisers and other content providers accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on Nafamedia page, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through Nafamedia you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, advertisements, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties.

Nafamedia.com is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third party. While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before.

Through features available on our site, third parties may use cookies or other technology to gather information. Nafamedia does not control the use of this technology or the resulting information and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.

Specific legal rights for users located in the EEA region (GDPR)

You may contact our data protection officer at [email protected] for more information or to exercise any of these rights:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

Exercising these rights

You also have the right to make a complaint at any time for data protection issues. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns about data protection before you approach the authority so please contact us in the first instance.

No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights).

What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Specific legal rights for users located in California, United States of America (CCPA)

The California Consumer Privacy Act, Cal. Civ. Code §1798.100 et. seq. (“CCPA”), grants residents of California certain rights with respect to their Personal Information and requires us to provide such individuals with certain information, described below.

  1. California residents may exercise the following rights by contacting our Privacy Policy Coordinator by email at [email protected]:
  • Know the ways in which we acquire, use, share, disclose and otherwise process your Personal Information;
  • Know the specific pieces of your Personal Information that we hold;
  • Request the deletion of your Personal Information, subject to several exceptions;
  • Not to be denied goods or services for exercising these rights
  1. California residents also have the right to opt-out of the “sale” of their Personal Information. We put “sale” in quotation marks because the CCPA considers some transfers of Personal Information to third parties in exchange for value as “sales,” even if no money changes hands, such as when online identifiers, Device IDs, and other information is shared with Third Party Businesses to further their own commercial purposes such as generating profiles about individuals. . If we have actual knowledge that a California resident is younger than 16, we will request opt-in consent before selling their Personal Information. Note that we can still share Personal Information with third parties if those transfers aren’t “sales,” such as with our Service Providers.
  2. Depending on the circumstances and which Service you use, we have disclosed the following categories of your Personal Information for a “business purpose” (as defined in the CCPA) in the preceding twelve (12) months:
  • Identifiers
  • Commercial information
  • Geolocation data
  • Internet or other electronic network activity information
  • Professional information
  • Education information
  • Inferences drawn from any of the above information categories.
  1. Depending on the circumstances and which Service you use, we have “sold” (as defined in the CCPA) the following categories of your Personal Information in the preceding twelve (12) months:
  • Identifiers
  • Commercial information
  • Geolocation data
  • Internet or other electronic network activity information
  • Professional information
  • Education information
  • Inferences drawn from any of the above information categories.
  1. You can designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf. However, we will require written proof of the agent’s permission to do so and verify your identity directly.
  2. You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of any of your rights.
  3. California’s “Shine the Light” law permits customers who are California residents to request certain details about how a business shares their personal information as defined by “Shine the Light” with third parties (and in some cases affiliates) for those third parties’ or affiliates’ own direct marketing purposes. California customers may request information about our compliance with this law by contacting us by e-mail at [email protected]. Any such mail inquiry must include “California Privacy Rights Request” in the first line of the description and include your name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year, and we are not required to respond to requests made by means other than through this email or mail address.
