“Personal Information” in this policy is defined as information that could reasonably personally identify you as an individual. Examples would include your name, mailing and e-mail addresses, age, birthday, telephone number, picture and voice recording. This policy describes the types of Personal Information that we collect, how we collect it, why we collect it and what we use it for.

“Non-identifiable Personal Information” is information that by itself cannot be associated with you as an identifiable individual, such as browser type, information about your operating system, device, and the unique identifier assigned to your device.

“Browsing Data” is information that EMC and its third party partners may collect about your web browsing and app usage, such as the date and time you visited certain websites or apps, pages of such websites or apps that you visited, the names or types of mobile app that you visited, and other data such as page visits, ads shown, ads clicked and conversions.

It is our policy not to associate Non-identifiable Personal Information or Browsing Data with customers, even though we verify some kinds of technical information to ensure that our websites are optimized to serve our customers.

Personal Information from children is not required to obtain access to, surf or view the content of our websites. However, for a child to participate in our contests or promotions, certain Personal Information may be required. Under this scenario, we may collect the first and last name (or user name) of the child, the child’s e-mail address, home address, birth date and gender, as well as the name, home address, e-mail address and telephone number of the child’s parent or guardian.

Personal Information from a child under the age of 13 is only collected when it is necessary for the purposes of verifying the child’s age, administering the child’s participation in the contest or promotion and, if the child wins a prize, contacting the child’s parent or guardian. We will not use, maintain or disclose this Personal Information for any other purpose, without consent.

The child’s parent or guardian can contact us at any time to get more information about our Personal Information practices or to remove the child’s Personal Information from our records.

Lookalike audiences can be used to support certain Kwetu Radio business objectives, such as increasing listenership to Kwetu Radio’s radio stations or providing additional marketing exposure to our advertising partners. If you do not want your email address used for this purpose, you may request your email address be removed from our email list by emailing us at edmediac@gmail.com by replying to any email we send you and entering the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line, or by visiting one of our websites and logging into your account and choosing to unsubscribe from any email communication.  If you advise us that you do not want your email address to be used for this purpose after May 13, 2023, we will not use your email address for this purpose on a go-forward basis.
