Privacy Policy

The 40 Day Media Team wants you to know how we collect, use, share, and protect information about you. By interacting with 40 Day Media through our store, website, products, and services, you consent to the use of information that is collected or submitted as described in this privacy policy. We may change or add to this privacy policy, so we encourage you to review it periodically.

If you choose not to provide information, we may not be able to provide you with requested products, services or information.

What Information is collected?

We may connect information collected automatically with information we already have about you in order to identify you as a 40 Day Media guest. If we are able to identify you as a 40 Day Media guest we may, for example, link your activity on our website to your activity in a 40 Day Media store. This allows us to provide you with a personalized experience regardless of how you interact with us.
We also use automated information collection technologies for reporting and analysis purposes. We also examine metrics to determine the performance of our marketing efforts and your response to those marketing efforts.

Interest-Based Advertising

40 Day Media participates in interest-based advertising (IBA), also known as Online Behavioral Advertising. We use third-party advertising companies to display ads tailored to your individual interests based on how you browse and shop online, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as ad delivery, reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research. 40 Day Media adheres to the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) self-regulatory principles for IBA.

Social Media

40 Day Media engages with guests on multiple social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest). If you contact us on one of our social media platforms, request guest service via social media, or otherwise direct us to communicate with you via social media, we may contact you via direct message or use other social media tools to interact with you. In these instances, your interactions with us are governed by this privacy policy as well as the privacy policy of the social media platform you use.

Social Media Widgets

Our site and mobile applications include social media features, such as the Facebook Like button and Twitter widgets. These features may collect information about you such as your IP address and which page you’re visiting on our site. They may set a cookie or employ other tracking technologies to accomplish this. Social media features and widgets may be hosted by a third party. Your interactions with those features are governed by the privacy policies of the companies that provide them.

Social Media Ads

We may display targeted ads to you through social media platforms. These ads are sent to groups of people who share traits such as likely commercial interests and demographics. Please see the policies of each social media platform for additional information about these types of ads.

Information from Other Sources
We collect data that is publicly available. For example, information you submit in a public forum (e.g., a blog, chat room, or social network) can be read, collected or used by us and others, and could be used to personalize your experience. You are responsible for the information you choose to submit in these instances.
We also obtain information provided by third parties. For instance, we obtain demographic and other information from companies that can enhance our existing guest information to improve the accuracy and add to the information we have about our guests (e.g., adding address information).
This improves our ability to contact you and increases the relevance of our marketing by providing better product recommendations or special offers that may interest you.
