Emanuel Studios gathers personal information from users of the Sites. When you browse our Sites, subscribe to our services or contact us through various social or web forms you are voluntarily sharing personal information with us. This personal information also includes various data that we collect automatically. This may be the user’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type and the locations of the Sites the user views right before arriving at, while navigating and immediately after leaving the Sites. It may also include various technical aspects of user’s computer or browser and users browsing habits that are collected through cookies. Emanuel Studios may analyse various mentioned personal information gathered from or about users to help Emanuel Studios better understand how the Sites are used and how to make them better. By identifying patterns and trends in usage, Emanuel Studios is able to better design the Sites to improve users’ experiences, both in terms of content and ease of use. From time to time, Emanuel Studios may also release the anonymized information gathered from the users in the aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Sites.

When we believe disclosure is appropriate, we may disclose your information to help investigate, prevent or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property or safety of Emanuel Studios, our users, our employees or others; to comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement; to enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements or policies, in response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us. We will notify you if permitted before undertaking such disclosures.

Emanuel Studios reserves the right to transfer all information in its possession to a successor organization in the event of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or other sale of all or a portion of Emanuel Studios’s assets. Other than to the extent ordered by a bankruptcy or other court, the use and disclosure of all transferred information will be subject to this Privacy Notice, or to a new privacy notice if you are given notice of that new privacy notice and are given an opportunity to affirmatively opt-out of it.

3. DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

General Provisions

Emanuel Studios contractually prohibits its contractors, affiliates, vendors and suppliers from disclosing any personal information received from Emanuel Studios, other than in accordance with this Privacy Notice. These third parties may include advertisers, providers of games, utilities, widgets and a variety of other third-party applications accessible through the Sites. Emanuel Studios neither owns nor controls the third-party websites and applications accessible through the Sites. Thus, this Privacy Notice does not apply to personal information provided to or gathered by the third parties that operate them. Before visiting a third party, or using a third-party application, whether by means of a link on the Sites, directly through the Sites or otherwise, and before providing any personal information to any such third party, users should inform themselves of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for those Sites or applications, and should take those steps necessary to, in those users’ discretion, protect their privacy.

Third-Party Advertisers

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Sites. These companies may use information about your visits to the Sites that are contained in Cookies in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. Using a tool created by the Network Advertising Initiative, you can opt out of several third-party ad servers’ and networks’ Cookies simultaneously. If you would like more personal information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this personal information used by these companies, please follow the following links: http://networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp,          http://preferences-mgr.truste.com/,         or http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. Please note that Emanuel Studios is not affiliated with in anyway the third parties that own and run these sites, and is not responsible for any information contained in them.

Analytics

We may partner with selected third parties to allow tracking technology on the Sites, which will enable them to collect data about how you interact with the Sites and our services over time. This personal information may be used to, among other things, analyse and track data, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand online activity.

Social Media

We may use hyperlinks on the Sites which will redirect you to a social network if you click on the respective link. However, when you click on a social plug-in, such as Facebook’s “Like” button or Twitter’s/X’s “tweet” button that particular social network’s plugin will be activated and your browser will directly connect to that provider’s servers. If you do not use these buttons none of your data will be sent to the respective social network’s plugin providers. To illustrate this further, imagine the scenario where you click on the Facebook’s “Like” button on the Sites. Facebook will receive your IP address, the browser version and screen resolution, and the operating system of the device you have used to access the Sites. Settings regarding privacy protection can be found on the websites of these social networks and are not within our control.

Third-Party Service Providers

We may share your personal information, which may include your name and contact information (including email address) with our authorized service providers that perform certain services on our behalf. These services may include fulfilling orders, providing customer service and marketing assistance, performing business and sales analysis, supporting the Sites’ functionality and supporting contests, sweepstakes, surveys and other features offered through the Sites. We may also share your name, contact personal information and credit card personal information with our authorized service providers who process credit card payments. These service providers may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but are not permitted to share or use such personal information for any other purpose. You can contact us to receive our current list of providers.

If you have opted in to receiving marketing communication from us then Emanuel Studios may provide your personal information to third parties, with your consent, so that those third parties may directly contact you about additional products and services. To cease having your personal information used for marketing communication purposes, you can:

  • Email us at admin@emanuelstudios.co.uk
  • Opt out by clicking on the unsubscribe button found in the footer of our emails

    COMMENTS

    When members leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.

    COOKIES

    If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

    When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

    EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES

    Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the member has visited the other website.

    These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

    WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH

    If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

    HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR DATA

    If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

    For members that register on our Sites (if any), we also store the personal information you provide in your user profile. All members can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

    RIGHTS WE HAVE OVER YOUR DATA

    If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

    WHERE YOUR DATA IS SENT

    Member comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service

    6. SECURITY

    We take the security of your personal information seriously and use reasonable electronic, personnel and physical measures to protect it from loss, theft, alteration or misuse. However, please be advised that even the best security measures cannot fully eliminate all risks. We cannot guarantee that only authorized persons will view your personal information. We are not responsible for third-party circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures.

    We are dedicated to protecting all personal information on the Sites as is necessary. However, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your personal information by keeping your password and computer/mobile device access confidential. If you have an account with Emanuel Studios and believe someone has gained unauthorized access to it or your account please change your password as soon as possible. If you lose control of your account, you should notify us immediately.

    7. PRIVACY RIGHTS – CALIFORNIA USERS

    Do Not Sell My Personal Information Notice – California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

    Emanuel Studios has not disclosed or sold any personal information to third parties for a business or commercial purpose in the preceding twelve (12) months. Emanuel Studios will not sell personal information in the future belonging to Sites’ visitors, users and other consumers.

    If you are under 18 years of age

    If you have registered an account with Emanuel Studios, you have the right to request the removal of unwanted personal information that you publicly post on our Sites. To request the removal of such information, please contact us using the contact information provided below. Make sure to include your account’s email address and a statement that you reside in California.

    “Shine the Light Law”

    California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, personal information about the personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. If applicable, this personal information would include a list of the categories of the personal information that was shared and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to the email address listed below.

    8. CHILDREN

    The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) protects the online privacy of children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or maintain personal information from anyone under the age of 13, unless or except as permitted by law. Any person who provides personal information through the Sites represents to us that he or she is 13 years of age or older. If we learn that personal information has been collected from a user under 13 years of age on or through the Sites, then we will take the appropriate steps to cause this personal information to be deleted. If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child under 13 who has become a member of the Sites or has otherwise transferred personal information to the Sites, please contact Emanuel Studios using our contact personal information below to have that child’s account terminated and personal information deleted.

    9. DO-NOT-TRACK NOTICE

    Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, the Sites currently do not respond to DNT browser signals or mechanisms.

    10. GOVERNING LAW

    Disputes over privacy issues contained in this Privacy Policy will be governed by the law of the United Kingdom. You also agree to abide by any limitation on damages contained in our Terms of Use, or other agreements that we have with you.

    11. PRIVACY NOTICE CHANGES

    Emanuel Studios may, in its sole discretion, change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any and all changes to Emanuel Studios’s Privacy Policy will be reflected on this page and the date of the new version will be stated at the top of this Privacy Policy. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all personal information that we have about you and your account. Users should regularly check this page for any changes to this Privacy Policy. Emanuel Studios will always post new versions of the Privacy Policy on the Sites. However, Emanuel Studios may, as determined in its discretion, decide to notify users of changes made to this Privacy Policy via email or otherwise. Accordingly, it is important that users always maintain and update their contact personal information.
