Cookies and other Technologies

We, our Service Providers, Voobin Marketing Providers, and Advertising Companies use cookies, other similar technologies (such as pixel tags), hashed identifiers, and resettable device identifiers for various reasons. This section explains the types of technologies used, what they do, and your corresponding choices. To choose whether or not to receive cookies and similar technologies, please see the section below.

1. Cookies and Similar Technologies, Pixel Tags and other Identifiers.

Cookies are small data files that are commonly stored on your device when you access websites and online services. The text in a cookie contains a string of numbers and letters that may uniquely identify a device and can contain other information as well. This allows the web server to recognize your browser each time it connects to that web server.

We use other technologies such as browser storage and plugins (for example, HTML5, IndexedDB, and WebSQL). Like cookies, these other technologies may store small amounts of data on a device. Pixel tags often work in conjunction with cookies. In many cases, declining cookies will impair the effectiveness of pixel tags associated with those cookies.

We may also create, use, and disclose privacy protective identifiers such as hashed identifiers. As described above, hashing is a process of converting the original contact information (such as an email address or phone number) into a value (typically a long alphanumeric sequence of characters) that cannot, by itself, reveal your identity or contact information.

If you use a Voobin app (such as the main Voobin app, or a Voobin game app) on a mobile device, tablet, or streaming media device, we may collect a resettable device identifier from your device. Resettable device identifiers can be used like cookies and are found on many mobile devices and tablets (for example, the “Identifier for Advertisers” on Apple iOS devices and the “Google Advertising ID” on Android devices), and certain streaming media devices.

2. Why Does Voobin Use These Technologies?

We use these types of technologies for various reasons, including to provide our service (for example, by making it easy to access our service by remembering you when you return); to administer and operate our business, to research, analyze and improve our services (for example, to improve site performance, monitor visitor traffic and actions on our site, and to test the effectiveness of our user interface); to send marketing and informational messages (for example, to deliver and tailor our marketing, to understand interactions with our emails, marketing, and marketing on third party services, and to help keep track of items you put into your shopping cart, including when you have abandoned your cart, and to determine when to send cart reminder messages via SMS); to support advertisements; for safety, security and fraud prevention; and to comply with law and enforce the Voobin Terms of Use. These technologies enable Voobin, Voobin Marketing Providers, and Advertising Companies to collect personal information (such as the pages you visit and device and network information) when you use our services, and about your online activities over time across different websites.

We use pixel tags in our emails to understand how members interact with our service. Our use of pixel tags helps us understand when links within messages are clicked, or the emails are opened. We may also use pixel tags placed on Advertiser sites and applications to support advertising.

Voobin uses hashed identifiers and resettable identifiers to display marketing for our service or Voobin content on third party services, to support advertisements (including delivering advertisements to you), and for analytics and optimization purposes.
