How we use cookies.

This site uses form elements and/or cookies on each page to maintain a continuous user session.

"Cookies" are small data files that may be downloaded to your computer when you visit the CultureAds.com site or a Publisher site and permit the CultureAds.com server to identify your browser whenever you interact with the CultureAds.com site or with an CultureAds.com Publisher site.

How we protect and store personal information.

Throughout this policy, we use the term "personal information" to describe information that can be associated with a specific person and can be used to identify that person. We do not consider personal information to include information that has been made anonymous so that it does not identify a specific user.

We store and process your personal information on our computers in the US, and we protect it by maintaining physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in compliance with applicable US federal and state regulations. We use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption, we enforce physical access controls to our buildings and files, and we authorize access to personal information only for those employees who require it to fulfill their job responsibilities.

All credit card information is encrypted with 128-bit SSL encryption before it is transmitted across the network.

  • Send you service update notices, and promotional marketing based on your communication preferences.
  • Compare information for accuracy and verify it with third parties.

How we share personal information with other CultureAds.com users.

To buy and sell ads, we need to share some of your personal information with the person or company that you are paying or is paying you. Your contact information, date of sign-up, the number of successful transactions you have completed from verified CultureAds.com customers, and whether you have verified control of a bank account are displayed to other CultureAds.com customers who you transact with through CultureAds.com.

Regardless, we will not disclose your credit card number or bank account number to anyone you have paid or who has paid you through CultureAds.com, except with your express permission or if we are required to do so to comply with a subpoena or other legal process.

You should contact Publishers directly and review their privacy policies should you have questions concerning their use of your information such as, for example, communications you may or may not wish to receive.
