9	9	Los Angeles Times Communications LLC and its Affiliates ("Los Angeles Times," "we," "us," or "our") operate newspapers, and news, entertainment, and informational websites, and other print and digital products and services. In this Privacy Policy, "Affiliates" refers to subsidiaries and entities in which Los Angeles Times or its subsidiaries operate or have an ownership interest.

11	11	This Privacy Policy applies only to the information Los Angeles Times and its Affiliates collect through the websites, mobile applications, electronic devices, kiosks, and all other print and digital products and services we provide, any other services that display this Privacy Policy, and all of the associated content, functionalities and advertising (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy governs the Services regardless of how you access them. Some Services may have a specific, separate privacy policy that will govern use of those Services. This Privacy Policy describes:
15	15	2\. what we do with the information we collect;
16	16
17	17	3\. how we share and disclose user information with third parties;
18	18

24	24
25	25	7\. how you can access and update your information;
26	26
27	27	8\. how we protect information;
87	87	To opt-out of interest-based advertising that is enabled by many industry platforms and providers (including much of the advertising described in this section), please see the choices we have described in Section 4.2, in particular the DAA's opt-out page.

89	89	## 1.3 Information from third parties
90	90
91	91	We may obtain additional information about you from third parties such as marketers, partners, researchers, social networks, data services companies (e.g., for data enhancement) and others. We may combine information that we collect from you with information about you that we obtain from such third parties and information derived from any other subscription, product, or service we provide.
92	92
	93	Our Services may allow you to share information with us that you have already provided to a third party social networking platform. For example, you may be able to create an account for our Services or log in to our Services using your Facebook account or other third party credentials. If you do so, information that you have provided to the third party may be made available to us by that third party subject to that third party's own privacy policy, terms, and conditions, and you authorize us to collect, store and use any information they may give us (e.g., your email address).
	94
93	95	## 1.4 Collection of information across personal devices, and applications
94	96
95	97	Sometimes, we (or our service providers) may use the information we collect - for instance, log-in credentials, IP addresses, hashed email addresses, and unique mobile device identifiers - to locate or try to locate the same unique users across multiple browsers or devices (such as smartphones, tablets, or computers), or work with providers that do this, in order to better tailor content, features, and advertising, and provide you with a seamless experience across the devices you use to access the Services.
96	98
97	99	## 2\. What we do with the information we collect.
98	100
155	157	Please note that to the extent advertising technology is integrated into the Services, you may still receive advertisements even if you opt-out of tailored advertising. In that case, the ads will just not be tailored.
156	158
157	159	You can also opt-out of 'cross-app' advertising -- interest-based advertising that is associated with your use of our or other mobile applications. To do so, please go to your device settings and opt-out through the controls provided through Google/Android or iOS, as applicable. Each operating system, iOS for Apple phones, Android for Android devices and Windows for Microsoft devices provides its own instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-application advertisements. (We cannot guarantee that these instructions will not change, or that they will continue to be available; they are controlled by each mobile platform, not us.). For any other devices and/or operating systems, please visit the privacy settings for the applicable device or contact the applicable platform operator.
158	160
159	161	We likewise may work with platform providers who serve advertising across devices. For instance, we may want to reach our web-based customers when they are on their mobile devices. This is done, generally, by correlating common attributes (such as IP addresses, other browser or device information or hashed email addresses) across devices, to infer a common identity across multiple channels. To opt-out of this type of advertising, you can do so by opting out of each separate device or browser, as we have described above.

	163	## 5\. Your Privacy Rights
162	164
163	165	If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights. For more information, please see our [Supplemental Privacy Notice for California Residents](https://www.latimes.com/privacy-policy).
164	166
	167	In addition, you have the right to request that we delete certain information about you that we have obtained from Facebook (e.g., if you have signed in to the Los Angeles Times website or mobile application using the Facebook Login feature). You may exercise this deletion request by: (i) contacting us at [latimes.com/about/fb-data-deletion-request](https://www.latimes.com/about/fb-data-deletion-request); or (ii) emailing us at privacy@latimes.com. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request. Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. We need certain types of information so that we can provide the Services to you. If you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use the Services.
	168
165	169	## 6\. California Do-Not-Track disclosure requirements.
166	170
167	171	We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our Services for third-party purposes, and that is why we provide above the Network Advertising Initiative's Consumer Opt-out link, Digital Advertising Alliance's Consumer Opt-Out Link, TrustArc's Advertising Choices page, and the Google opt-out link information in Sections 4.1 and 4.2. However, we do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working on Do Not Track standards, implementations and solutions.
