Depending on your settings, we may also show you personalized ads based on your interests when you’re browsing a site that shows ads served by Google. You can control what information we use to show you ads by visiting your ad settings.

We don’t show you personalized ads based on sensitive categories, such as race, religion, sexual orientation, or health. We don’t share information that personally identifies you with advertisers, such as your name or email, unless you ask us to.

 

When you visit Polyown Think Tank that uses Google Analytics, Google and a Google Analytics customer may link information about your activity from our site with activity from other sites that use Google’s ad services.

 

We use information we collect, like your email address, to interact with you directly. For example, we may send you a notification for our newsletter. Or we may let you know about upcoming changes or improvements to our services. And if you contact us, we’ll keep a record of your request in order to help solve any issues you might be facing.

 

We use different technologies to process your information for these purposes. We use automated systems that analyze your content to provide you with things like customized search results, personalized ads, or other features tailored to how you use our services. Google also uses algorithms to recognize patterns in data.

 

We’ll ask for your consent before using your information for a purpose that isn’t covered in this Privacy Policy.

 

You can also request to remove content from specific Google services based on applicable law. To delete your information, you can:

  • Delete your content from specific Google services
  • Search for and then delete specific items from your account using My Activity
  • Delete specific Google products, including your information associated with those products
  • Delete your entire Google Account
  • You may request Polyown Think Tank to remove any comments or personally identifiable information that you may have used in the comments section.

 

There are other ways to control the information Google collects whether or not you’re signed in to a Google Account, including:

  • Browser settings: For example, you can configure your browser to indicate when Google has set a cookie in your browser. You can also configure your browser to block all cookies from a specific domain or all domains. But remember that our services rely on cookies to function properly, for things like remembering your language preferences.
  • Device-level settings: Your device may have controls that determine what information we collect.

We do not share your personal information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of Google except in the following cases:

With your consent like access and retain information stored in your account, like your email. Suspend or terminate your account access. Receive your account information in order to satisfy applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request. Restrict your ability to delete or edit your information or your privacy settings.

For external processing: We provide personal information to Google affiliates and other trusted businesses or persons to process it for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

For legal reasons: We will share personal information outside of Google if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:

  • Meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request.
  • Enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations.
  • Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues.
  • Protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Google, our users, or the public as required or permitted by law.

We may share non-personally identifiable information publicly and with our partners — like publishers, advertisers, developers, or rights holders. We also allow specific partners to collect information from your browser or device for advertising and measurement purposes using their own cookies or similar technologies.

If Google is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, we’ll continue to ensure the confidentiality of your personal information and give affected users notice before personal information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

When you delete data, we follow a deletion process to make sure that your data is safely and completely removed from our servers or retained only in anonymized form. We try to ensure that our services protect information from accidental or malicious deletion. Because of this, there may be delays between when you delete something and when copies are deleted from our active and backup systems.

You can read more about Google’s data retention periods, including how long it takes us to delete your information.

Compliance & cooperation with regulators: We regularly review this Privacy Policy and make sure that we process your information in ways that comply with it.

Data transfers: Google maintains servers around the world and your information may be processed on servers located outside of the country where you live. Data protection laws vary among countries, with some providing more protection than others. Regardless of where your information is processed, we apply the same protections described in this policy. We also comply with certain legal frameworks relating to the transfer of data. The European Commission has determined that certain countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) adequately protect personal data. To transfer data from the EEA to other countries, such as the United States, we comply with legal frameworks that establish an equivalent level of protection with EU law.

When we receive formal written complaints, we respond by contacting the person who made the complaint. We work with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of your data that we cannot resolve with you directly.

 

Terms of Use:

Many of our services allow you to interact with others. We want to maintain a respectful environment for everyone, which means you, must follow these basic rules of conduct:

  • comply with applicable laws, including export control, sanctions, and human trafficking laws
  • respect the rights of others, including privacy and intellectual property rights
  • don’t abuse or harm others or yourself (or threaten or encourage such abuse or harm) — for example, by misleading, defrauding, defaming, bullying, harassing, or stalking others.
  • don’t abuse, harm, interfere with, or disrupt the services

 

If you find that others aren’t following these rules, many of our services allow you to report abuse. If we act on a report of abuse, we also provide a fair process as described in the Taking action in case of problems section.

 

Removing your content: If we reasonably believe that any of your content (1) breaches these terms , (2) violates applicable law, or (3) could harm our users, third parties, or Google, then we reserve the right to take down some or all of that content in accordance with applicable law. Examples include child pornography, content that facilitates human trafficking or harassment, and content that infringes someone else’s intellectual property rights. If we reasonably believe that your conduct causes harm or liability to a user, third party, or Google — for example, by hacking, phishing, harassing, spamming, misleading others, or scraping content that doesn’t belong to you, we may terminate your account.

 

 

Applicable law: California law governs "blogger," however disputes can be taken to your local court when a possibility of conflict of laws occurs.
