2. Purposes for Which Personal Information May Be Processed

The purposes for which personal information may be collected, used, disclosed, and otherwise processed include those described below.

Providing the Services. We may process personal information to provide and manage the Services, such as through the following:

Providing the Services and print subscriptions to you and others and providing commercial services to our business partners.
Account creation and provision of account access.
Responding to your requests, questions, suggestions, or complaints.
Accepting payments and completing transactions.
Maintaining and troubleshooting the Services.
Customizing and personalizing the Services, including content, features, pricing, promotions, and advertising.
Providing support services to users and customers.
Enabling you to comment on articles and other content or share content and information from our publications via social media, email, and other means. Any information you disclose in this manner may become public.

We may also use your information to provide you with or make available to you a service provided by a McClatchy business partner or provided jointly by McClatchy and a McClatchy business partner.

Improving the Services, Developing New Products and Services, and Similar Activities. We process personal information to assess, develop, maintain, analyze, optimize, debug, repair, improve, and price our Services, new products and services, print publications, services provided by McClatchy and McClatchy business partners, products and services we provide to our business partners, and customer and user support operations. We also process personal information to help us better understand and represent our customers and users, such as when we measure ad performance, create interest-based segments, or compile survey results.

Communications. We process personal information to communicate with you and others, through email, postal mail, text messages, phone calls, push notifications, chat functionality, and other means of communication. These communications may be related to the Services or our other products and services, advertising, marketing, promotional, transactional, informational, and customer support communications, communications related to subscriptions, communications related to our publications, communications related to products or services offered by our business partners, communications related to legal or administrative matters (including updates to our terms and policies), and communications related to requested information or information that may be of interest to you or others.

For example, we may send you newsletters or informational, transactional, or commercial emails regarding the Services or products or services offered by our business partners (including advertisers), or we may transmit informational, transactional, or marketing communications to you via text messages, live calls, prerecorded calls, and other telephonic means, including through automated technology. Refer to Section 5 for choices you may have regarding these communications.

Contests, Sweepstakes, and Other Promotions. We may process personal information to allow you to take part in our sweepstakes, contests, and other promotions, as well as polls, surveys, panels, research, and other services provided to our business partners. Refer to applicable rules, terms, and other disclosures for additional information on how we may process your personal information.

Personalized Advertising on the Services, Creating Audiences for Third-Party Advertisers, and Providing Information or Insights to Our Business Partners. The Services we provide are supported by advertising revenue. We may process your personal information to engage in cross-context behavioral and targeted advertising and disclose your personal information to unaffiliated third party data suppliers and advertising networks that enable or participate in targeted and cross-context behavioral advertising and/or that provide online tracking technologies that we use to analyze the Services. We gather data, including through tracking technologies set by us or third parties, and work with third parties to show you personalized ads on behalf of advertisers. For example, we use Google to serve ads on the Services. Google uses cookies or unique device identifiers, in combination with its own data, to show you ads based on your visit to our Services and other websites and online services.

To help ensure that you receive ads and other marketing content and communications that are relevant to your interests or our advertisers’ products and services, we and third parties (including service providers and advertisers, advertising companies, and other business partners) may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites, applications, services, and devices. We and third parties, including our business partners, may use that information to help understand audience segments (e.g., level of engagement) and to obtain or develop other information or insights about our users. Advertisers may use the segments to determine the audience groups to which they wish to deliver particular ads.

We also process personal information to identify groups of users to whom to serve personalized ads on behalf of our advertisers. To do this, we combine information we collect through surveys or registration with information we collect automatically using tracking technologies while you browse our sites and applications. This combined (or “aggregated”) information is used to build models. These data models are then used to measure users’ attributes, like their demographic information or their interests (again, not as individuals but as a combined group). Working with service providers, we use these measurements to group users by common attributes. Each group is associated with a random ID which is then passed to our ad server for use in targeting ad campaigns on our sites and applications.

Another example is our affiliate link vendors, which we use in our guides and product recommendations. The Services include links that will send you to vendor URLs and other services not operated or controlled by us. These vendors use cookies and other technologies to collect information about your navigation from the Services to the merchant you are visiting. If you buy a product after following a link to a third party’s URL, we may earn a commission.

As noted above, we may transmit marketing communications to you on behalf of our business partners, including advertisers.

Marketing the Services to You. We market the Services to you, including by serving ads through the Services and websites, locations, platforms, and services operated and owned by third parties. Often these ads are directed at people who have visited or registered for a Service but have not subscribed or purchased anything. The ads are also directed to people with similar traits or behaviors to our subscribers or customers. For example, we may direct our advertising to these users by uploading an encrypted customer list to a third party, or by incorporating a tracking technology from a third party onto our Service.

As noted above, we may transmit marketing communications to you.

Aggregating and Deidentifying Personal Information. We may process personal information to aggregate it or deidentify it such that it no longer constitutes personal information.

Operational, Legal, Administrative, and Other Activities. We may process personal information for operational, legal, administrative, and other purposes, such as the following:

Auditing and analysis related to counting ad impressions to unique visitors and verifying positioning and quality of ad impressions.
Safety, security, and similar activities. For example, we may process personal information to enhance the safety, security, and integrity of the Services and to monitor, investigate, prevent, and respond to safety issues, security issues, malicious activities, and misuse of the Services.
Legal, regulatory, law enforcement, and similar activities. For example, we may process personal information to comply with law, regulatory requirements (including requirements of self-regulatory organizations), contractual obligations, and other legal obligations; cooperate with government authorities or respond to legal process, such as subpoenas, warrants, law enforcement requests, and court orders; resolve disputes and protect and defend our legal rights and the rights of others; monitor, investigate, prevent, and respond to fraud, intellectual property infringement, violations of our Terms of Service and other terms and agreements, violations of law, and protect the safety and property of our personnel, users, or the general public.
Performing internal business functions, including finance, accounting, and audit functions.
Activities associated with an actual or potential merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all assets, including as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding.
Recruiting, hiring, and other human resources purposes, including evaluating and processing employment applications.
Processing activities that you may direct or consent to, such as when we notify you of processing activities in connection with the collection of personal information.

When we process personal information, we may combine personal information that we collect from you with personal information about you that we obtain from third parties and personal information derived from any subscription, product, or service we provide. For example, we may use data collected from one website or mobile application to personalize your experience on another website or mobile application.
