Use of Information

We use information to provide, analyze, administer, enhance and personalize our services and marketing efforts, to provide, analyze, administer, enhance and select ads in connection with our ad supported subscription plans, to process your registration, your orders and your payments, and to communicate with you on these and other topics. For example, we use such information to:

• provide you with customized and personalized viewing recommendations for movies, TV shows, and games we think will be of interest to you (collectively “content”);
• determine your general geographic location (such as your city, state/province, and postal code);
• provide localized content;
• determine your ISP to support network troubleshooting for you (we also use aggregated ISP information for operational and business purposes);
• help us quickly and efficiently respond to inquiries and requests;
• coordinate with Partners on making the Icinex service available to members and providing information to non members about the availability of the Icinex service, based on the specific relationship you have with the Partner;
• secure our systems, prevent fraud and help us protect the security of Icinex accounts;
• prevent, detect and investigate potentially prohibited or illegal activities, including fraud, and to enforce our terms (such as determining whether and for which Icinex signup offers you are eligible and determining whether a particular device is permitted to use the account consistent with our Terms of Use);
• analyze and understand our audience, improve our service (including our user interface experiences and service performance) and optimize content or ad selection, recommendation algorithms and delivery;
• communicate with you concerning our service so that we can send you news about Icinex, details about new features and content available on Icinex, special offers, promotional announcements, consumer surveys, and to assist you with operational requests such as password reset requests. These communications may be by various methods, such as email, push notifications, text message, online messaging channels, and matched identifier communications (described below). Please see the “Your Choices” section of this Privacy Statement to learn how to set or change your communications preferences and to learn more about matched identifier communications.

Our content recommendations system strives to predict what you will be in the mood to watch when you log in. However, our content recommendations system does not infer or attach socio-demographic information (like gender or race) to you. We have a Help article that explains how our content recommendations system works – spoilers: the biggest driver of these recommendations is what you actually choose to watch through our service.

Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Statement will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect and use it. We will normally collect personal information from you where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you (for example, to provide our services to you), where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms (for example, our direct marketing activities in accordance with your preferences), or where we have your consent to do so (for example, for you to participate in certain consumer insights activities like specific surveys and focus groups). In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person (for example, to prevent payment fraud or confirm your identity

Disclosure of Information

We disclose your information for certain purposes and to third parties, as described below:

• The Icinex family of companies:
  We share your information among the Icinex family of companies as needed for: providing you with access to our services; providing customer support; making decisions about service improvements; content development; and for other purposes described in the Use of Information section of this Privacy Statement.
• Service Providers:
  We use other companies, agents or contractors (“Service Providers”) to perform services on our behalf or to assist us with the provision of services to you. For example, we engage Service Providers to provide marketing, advertising, communications, security, infrastructure and IT services, to customize, personalize and optimize our service, to provide bank account or balance information, process credit card transactions or other payment methods, to provide customer service, to analyze and enhance information (including information about users’ interactions with our service), and to process and administer consumer surveys. We engage Ad Service Providers in the context of our ad supported subscription plans. In the course of providing such services, these Service Providers may have access to your personal or other information. We do not authorize them to use or disclose your personal information except in connection with providing their services (which includes maintaining and improving their services).
• Partners
  :As described above, you may have a relationship with one or more of our Partners, in which case we may share certain information with them in order to coordinate with them on providing the Icinex service to members and providing information about the availability of the Icinex service. For example, depending on what Partner services you use, we may share information:
  • in order to facilitate Partner pre-paid promotions or collection of payment for the Icinex service for distribution to us;
  • with Partners who operate voice assistant platforms that allow you to interact with our service using voice commands;
  • so that content and features available in the Icinex service can be suggested to you in the Partner’s user interface. For members, these suggestions are part of the Icinex service and may include customized and personalized viewing recommendations.
• Advertisers/Ad Measurement Companies:
  We may share information collected from or about you with Advertisers and/or Ad Measurement Companies to select advertisements, and measure and improve advertising effectiveness. As a reminder, please see the Information from Other Sources section above if you have questions regarding the role of Advertisers or Ad Measurement Companies.

  We may offer joint promotions or programs that, in order for your participation, will require us to share your information with third parties. In fulfilling these types of promotions, we may share your name and other information in connection with fulfilling the incentive. Please note that these third parties are responsible for their own privacy practices.

Access to Account and Profiles

• “Remember me” function:For ease of access to your account, you can use the “Remember me on this device” function when you log in to the website. This function uses technology that enables us to provide direct account access and to help administer the Icinex service without requiring reentry of any password or other user identification when your browser revisits the service.
• Giving others access to your account:If you share or otherwise allow others to have access to your account, they will be able to see shows you have watched, ratings, account information (including your email address or other information in the “Account” area of our website), and game related information (such as your in-game name and saved game progress). This remains true even if you use our profiles feature. You might have the option to use seamless account login through the Icinex mobile app, which enables login to the Icinex app on smart TVs, set top boxes, and other streaming media devices on the network to which you are connected. If you use that feature, those devices will remain signed into your account unless you later log out of those devices.
• Profiles:Profiles allow users to have a distinct, personalized Icinex experience, built around the movies and shows of interest to them, as well as separate watch histories. Please note that profiles are available to everyone who uses your Icinex account, so that anyone with access to your Icinex account can navigate to and use, edit or delete profiles. You should explain this to others with access to your account, and if you do not wish them to use or change your profile, be sure to let them know. Profile users may be offered the opportunity to add an email address, phone number or other information to the profile and will be provided with notice of collection and use at the time such information is requested.
• Profile Transfers: The profile transfer feature on your account allows you and users with access to your account to transfer an eligible profile from your account to a separate account (including information such as viewing history and recommendations). You can change the setting for this feature in the Settings section of your Account page.
• Removing device access to your Icinex account:To remove access to your Icinex account from your devices, visit the “Account” section of our website, choose “Sign out of all devices,” and follow the instructions to deactivate your devices (note, deactivation may not occur immediately). Where possible, users of public or shared devices should log out at the completion of each visit. If you sell or return a computer or Icinex ready device, you should log out and deactivate the device before doing so. If you do not maintain the security of your password or device, or fail to log out or deactivate your device, subsequent users may be able to access your account, including your personal information.

Your Choices

Email and Text Messages. If you no longer want to receive certain communications from us via email or text message, simply access the “Communications Settings” option in the “Account” section of our website and uncheck those items to unsubscribe. Alternatively, click the “unsubscribe” link in the email or reply STOP (or as otherwise instructed) to the text message. Please note that you cannot unsubscribe from service-related correspondence from us, such as messages relating to your account transactions.

Push Notifications. You can choose to receive mobile push notifications from Icinex. On some device operating systems, you will be automatically enrolled in the notifications. If you subsequently decide you no longer wish to receive these notifications, you can use your mobile device’s settings functionality to turn them off. We also offer push notifications on certain web browsers. If you agree to receive those notifications and subsequently decide you no longer wish to receive these notifications, you can use your browser’s settings to turn them off.

Matched Identifier Communications from Icinex. Some third party sites and apps allow us to reach our users with online promotions about our titles and services by sending a privacy protective identifier to the third party. A privacy protective identifier means we convert the original information (such as an email address or phone number) into a value to keep the original information from being revealed. The third party compares the privacy protective identifier to identifiers in its database and there will be a match only if you have used the same identifier (such as an email address) with Icinex and the third party. If there is a match, Icinex can then choose whether or not to send a given promotional communication to you on that third party site or app, and can optimize and better measure the effectiveness of online advertising. You can opt out in the “Marketing Communications” section of the “Account” section of our website.

Behavioral Advertising. Behavioral advertisements are those that are selected based on your use and/or interactions with various unaffiliated third party apps or websites across the Internet (behavioral advertising). Icinex can advertise its services using behavioral advertising, and if you are using a browser, then certain cookies and web beacons can be used to collect information to help determine your likely interests. If you are using a mobile device, tablet, or streaming media device that includes a resettable device identifier, then that identifier can be used to help determine your likely interests. For your choices about behavioral ads from Icinex, please see the “Cookies and Internet Advertising” section (below).

Icinex Ad Supported Subscription Plan – Behavioral Advertising. If you subscribe to an ad supported subscription plan, we can present you with advertisements, including ones selected using behavioral advertising information. If you do not wish to be presented with behavioral advertisements as part of your participation in an ad supported subscription plan, you can opt out by:

• selecting the appropriate profile; and
• choosing the “Behavioral Advertising” section in the “Account” section of our website.

When you choose to opt out of receiving behavioral ads, you will still see ads, but they will not be selected using behavioral advertising information. Opting out will not limit our collection of information, but will influence how we use such information.

An option to opt out will not be provided in a Kids profile, because we do not engage in behavioral advertising on Kids profiles.

To exercise choice around cookies or resettable device IDs being collected or for any purposes outside of behavioral advertising in our ad supported subscription plan, please utilize the tools in the Cookies and Internet Advertising section below.

Icinex Ad Supported Subscription Plan – Demographic Information Collection. If you subscribe to an ad supported subscription plan, we will ask you to provide us with demographic information including your date of birth and gender. We can use this demographic information to select ads to present to you and for other uses as set out in this Privacy Statement. If you are from the UK/EEA, you may opt out of this use of demographic information by Icinex to select ads by going to the “Demographic Advertising” section of the “Account” section of our website.

If you opt out of Icinex’s use of this demographic information to select ads for you, you will still see ads, but they will not be based on this demographic information.

Cookies and Internet Advertising

We and our Service Providers use cookies and other technologies (such as web beacons), as well as resettable device identifiers, for various reasons. We want you to be informed about our use of these technologies, so this section explains the types of technologies we use, what they do, and your choices regarding their use.

Cookies and similar technologies, web beacons, and resettable device identifiers

Cookies are small data files that are commonly stored on your device when you browse and use websites and online services. We use other technologies such as browser storage and plugins (e.g., HTML5, IndexedDB, and WebSQL). Like cookies, these other technologies may store small amounts of data on your device. Web beacons (also known as clear gifs or pixel tags) often work in conjunction with cookies. In many cases, declining cookies will impair the effectiveness of web beacons associated with those cookies.

If you use the Icinex app on a mobile device, tablet, or streaming media device, we may collect a resettable device identifier from your device. Resettable device identifiers (also known as advertising identifiers) are similar to cookies and are found on many mobile devices and tablets (for example, the “Identifier for Advertisers” (or IDFA) on Apple iOS devices and the “Google Advertising ID” on Android devices), and certain streaming media devices. Like cookies, resettable device identifiers are used to make online advertising more relevant and for analytics and optimization purposes.

Why does Icinex use these technologies?

We use these types of technologies for various reasons, like making it easy to access our services by remembering you when you return; to provide, analyze, understand and enhance the use of our services; to enforce our terms, prevent fraud; to improve site performance, monitor visitor traffic and actions on our site; and to deliver and tailor our marketing or advertising, and to understand interactions with our emails, marketing, and online ads on third party sites. We may also use these technologies to support the operation of our ad supported subscription plans.To help you better understand how we use cookies and resettable device identifiers, please see the information below:

• Essential cookies:These cookies are strictly necessary to provide our website or online service. For example, we and our Service Providers may use these cookies to authenticate and identify our members when they use our websites and applications so we can provide our service to them. They also help us to enforce our Terms of Use, prevent fraud and maintain the security of our service.
• Performance and functionality cookies:These cookies help us to customize and enhance your online experience with Icinex. For example, they help us to remember your preferences and prevent you from needing to re-enter information you previously provided (for example, during member sign up). We also use these cookies to collect information (such as popular pages, conversion rates, viewing patterns, click-through and other information) about our visitors’ use of the Icinex service so that we can enhance and personalize our website and service and conduct market research. Deletion of these types of cookies may result in limited functionality of our service.
• Advertising cookies and resettable device identifiers:These cookies and resettable device identifiers use information about your use of this and other websites and apps, your response to ads and emails, and to deliver ads that are more relevant to you and for analytics and optimization purposes.

When we advertise our services on other websites or apps, some of the websites and apps where we advertise, as well as advertising technology companies that we use to purchase, deliver, optimize, and/or measure our advertisements (collectively “Advertising Partners”), may receive information from us as part of our campaign targeting, measurement, and optimization (e.g., steps completed in sign-up and site visit or app open/install information). Common uses of this type of information are to judge the effectiveness of and optimize ad campaigns, by allowing Advertising Partners to see when someone who saw an ad later signed up for our service. Another common use is to make sure we do not serve ads trying to get individuals to sign up for the Icinex service if they are already a Icinex user. Icinex uses contractual and technical measures designed to prevent Advertising Partners from accessing information regarding specific title selections you make, URLs you land on, or shows you have watched on our service. We do not share information about title selections or your shows you have watched on our service.In connection with our ad supported subscription plans, Icinex, our Ad Service Providers, and Ad Measurement Companies can use these technologies to operate and support our ad supported subscription plans, including supporting an Advertiser’s ad campaigns, measurement, and optimization of the same.

You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information (for the UK, the office of the UK Information Commissioner).

Specifically, we retain information for our legitimate interests and essential business purposes, such as operating, maintaining and improving our services; complying with our legal obligations; and exercising our legal rights and remedies, including enforcing our terms of use. Our retention of information is based on many factors such as your relationship with Icinex (for example, are you a Icinex current member); the nature of the information; compliance with our legal obligations; defending or resolving actual or anticipated legal claims.

We will provide notice of any such changes (including when they will take effect) in accordance with law.
