Privacy and Cookie Policy of 9Ranks.com

9Ranks.com (“we” or “us”) cares about protecting the privacy of information that identifies, or is capable of identifying, you. This Privacy Statement explains what personal information we collect about you, what we do with it, and how you can control your personal information. This Privacy Statement describes our practices in connection with the https://www.9ranks.com website located at https://www.9ranks.com (the “Site”).

What Information Do We Collect About You?

Information you provide. We collect personal information you enter on the Site or send us in any other way, including when you:

Website browsing information. When you visit the Site, your browser automatically sends certain information to us directly or via our analytics provider (e.g., Adobe Analytics). That information may include:

Tracking information. When you visit the Site, automated collection tools such as “cookies” and “web beacons” may gather information about your visit and your computer.

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device that lets us know whether you’ve visited the website before as well as your navigation experience during your visit. Cookies may be used to facilitate your access to the Site, enhance and personalize your online experience, and recognize your computer or your device.

Web beacons are small graphics placed on the Site and in email communications that are used to measure the effectiveness of the Site and email communications.

Web beacons on the Site collect information about your visit, like the pages you view, the features you use, the links you click, and other actions you take in connection with our websites.

Web beacons in our emails track your interactions with those messages, such as when you receive, open, forward or click a link in an email message from us.

We use the following types of cookies on the Site:

You may see our advertisements on other websites or mobile apps. This is because we participate in advertising networks. Ad networks allow us to target our messaging to users based on demographic data, interests, and the way they browse the Internet. These networks track users’ online activities over time by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of cookies, web server logs, web beacons, and other similar technologies. The networks use this information to show ads that may be tailored to individuals’ interests, to track users’ browsers or devices across multiple websites, and to build a profile of users’ online browsing activities. The information our ad networks may collect includes data about users’ visits to websites that participate in the relevant ad networks, such as the pages or ads viewed and actions taken on the websites. You can opt out of receiving interest-based advertising on our website by blocking these cookies as described below.

Your browser may give you the ability to control cookies or other tracking tools. These “do not track” features are not all uniform and we do not currently respond to those signals. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, and how to delete existing cookies. If you decide to disable cookies, it is possible that some of our website’s features won’t function properly. For more information on deleting or controlling cookies, visit www.aboutcookies.org. These links will also explain how to manage cookies for the most common browsers:

In addition to the browser-based controls, you can manage third-party cookies by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices/.

Location-based information. If you access the Site from a mobile device, the Site may try to access your location to tailor your experience based on your location. If that happens, we may collect information about the location of your device such as GPS coordinates, but only if the GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth features of your mobile device are enabled. This location-based information is collected through GPS, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth sensors, and may be shared with a third party who may access such information to provide location-based information to us. If you disable any location-based services on your device, you may not be able to use certain features of the Site.

Information Provided by Third Parties. We also collect information about you from other sources such as public and third-party databases and other third parties, including our business and trade partners, to supplement information about you. For example, we may purchase information about your interests and hobbies to help us tailor our marketing content and communications to you.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

We recognize the importance of maintaining the security of your personal information.
