If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use, then you should immediately discontinue use of our Service without providing us any personally identifiable information.
3. Information We Collect
We may collect the following categories of personal information (a) directly from you (such as when you sign up for our newsletter or send communications to us), (b) from the device and browser that you use to access the Service, or (c) from cookies.
Identifiers
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we may collect your name and email address.
Device Information
We collect device information when you visit the Site. This includes your computer or mobile device type, browser type, unique identifiers, IP address, and geolocation information.
Internet or Electronic Network Activity Information
We may collect information concerning your interaction with the Site, including when you access the Site and your browsing activity on the Site (such as which pages you visit, in what order, and for how long). This may include “traffic” data or tracking information provided by the Site’s host or similar providers (e.g., Google Analytics) that may be helpful for marketing purposes or for improving the Site.
Inferences
We may draw inferences from the information we collect about you that may reflect your preferences, characteristics, or interests.
You are not required to provide all personal information identified in this Privacy Policy to use the Service or to interact with us, but certain functionality will not be available if you do not provide certain personal information. For example, if you do not provide certain personal information, we may not be able to allow you to register an account or respond to your requests or inquiries.
4. Cookies
We store certain information that gets collected automatically at our end through cookies and other similar technologies on the Site. A cookie is a small string of information that a website that you visit transfers to your browser for identification purposes. Cookies can be used to follow your activity while using a website or across websites, and that information helps companies understand your preferences and tendencies, as well as improve and personalize your website experience. Some cookies are necessary to operate a website, while others can be functional, analytical, or used for marketing purposes, including targeted advertising (as discussed in more detail below). Cookies on the Site are generally divided into the following categories:
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are required for the operation of the Site. They include, for example, cookies that record your cookie preferences.
Analytical/Performance Cookies: These allow us to recognize and count the number of users on the Site and understand how such users navigate through the Site (e.g., when and which pages are visited, in what order the pages are visited, and where a user is located). This helps improve how the Site works, for example, by ensuring that users can find what they are looking for easily.
We use Google Analytics for part of this process. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can opt-out of Google Analytics’ collection and use of data generated by your use of the Site by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Functional Cookies: These improve the functional performance of websites and make them easier for you to use. These include cookies that are used to remember that you previously visit the Site and your preferences. We also embed certain videos that are hosted by YouTube. YouTube sets certain functional cookies to remember your preferences (e.g., your preferred language), to remember user input, and to detect and resolve problems with YouTube’s services.
Targeting Cookies: These record your visit to the Site, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed to recognize you as a previous visitor, and to track your activity on the Site and other websites you visit. These cookies are used to display ads on other websites based on your visits to the Site and other online activity. These cookies qualify as persistent cookies because they remain on your device. For more information about targeted advertising and how to opt out with your specific browser and device, go to the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance. If you opt-out, you will need to apply these opt-out settings in each device from which you wish to opt out. Not all companies that serve interest-based ads participate in these opt-out programs, so even after opting-out, you may still receive some cookies and interest-based ads from other companies. If you opt-out of interest-based advertisements, you will still see advertisements online, but they may be less relevant to you.
You can prevent the use of certain cookies by modifying your Internet browser settings, typically under the section “Help,” “Internet Options,” or “Settings.” If you disable or delete certain cookies in your Internet browser settings, you may still access the Site, however, you might not be able to access or use important functions or features of the Site, and you may, for example, be required to re-enter your log-in details.
Do-Not-Track Signals
Some web browsers may allow you to transmit a “do-not-track” signal. At this time, the Site does not take any action in response to these signals.
5. Children’s Privacy
The Service is not intended for use by people under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly or intentionally gather personal information about visitors who are under the age of 16. If you are aware of, or suspect that, someone under the age of 16 is using the Site without permission, please notify us immediately by contacting us as detailed in the How to Contact Us section below. If you have questions or concerns about the Internet and privacy for your child, we encourage you to check out the FTC Guidelines for protecting your child’s privacy online.

Further information may be provided to you in a separate notice or may be obtained from such service providers directly, for example, via their websites.

With third parties in connection with a change to the control or financial status of the company, including a corporate restructuring, sale, acquisition, financing, reorganizations, bankruptcy, receivership, transfer, assignment of assets, or business merger or divestiture. Personal information and other information may be shared in the diligence process with counterparties and others assisting with the transaction and transferred to a successor or affiliate as part of that transaction.

8. Your Privacy Choices
If you no longer want to receive our newsletter or other marketing communications, you may unsubscribe at any time by following the unsubscribe options in the communication itself.
9. Security
We maintain reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse, alteration, or unintentional destruction. We have implemented various security measures to protect both the personal information and the general information that we receive from you through the Service. Whenever you give out personal information online there is a risk that third parties may intercept and use that information. Although we seek to protect your personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online. To the extent permitted under applicable law, we assume no liability or responsibility for disclosure of your information due to errors in transmission, unauthorized access by third parties, or other causes beyond our control.
10. Additional Disclosures for Residents of California
For residents of California, this section describes how we collect, use, disclose, and/or “sell” (as defined under California law) the personal information of California residents, and the rights you may have under California law. These disclosures are intended to supplement this Privacy Policy with information required by California law.
To understand what personal information we may have collected about you in the past 12 months, and from where we collected it, please see the section Information We Collect above.
We collect his personal information to operate, manage, and maintain our business, to provide our services, and to accomplish our business purposes and objectives, as further described in the Our Use of Personal Information section above. In addition, the financial information we collect (such as credit or debit card information or bank account information) may be considered sensitive personal information. Financial information is processed by authorized payment processors, and this information is only collected and used to process and fulfill your orders, to provide customer service, to ensure security and integrity of your data and our systems, and to comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
We may share personal information with the third parties listed above in the section Our Disclosure of Personal Information. Below we have provided more detail regarding the two ways we share your personal information: (a) “sales” of information and (b) general disclosures of information for a business purpose.
“Sales” of Information
We have marked “sales” in quotation marks because a “sale” under California law broadly includes any disclosure of information in return for any value. This value does not need to be monetary, like in a traditional sale. For example, a “sale” can be when a business provides information collected through cookies to an advertising network that it has hired to promote its own ads—but then the advertising network is able to use the cookie data provided for its own purposes, outside of this particular business relationship.
Mythical does not share personal information collected through the Site in exchange for payment and we require that our service providers only use your personal information to perform the services we have asked of them. However, we use advertising networks to help us improve your advertising experience (such as serving advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and providing analytics services). Sharing personal information with the third-party provider while using these tools may fall within the definition of a “sale” of personal information under California law.
In the past 12 months, we have provided Device Information, Internet or Electronic Network Activity Information, and Inferences to Advertising Networks.
We do not sell, or have actual knowledge of any sale of, the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.
Disclosures of Information for a Business Purpose
To manage our business and provide services to you, we sometimes share personal information with third parties. As noted above, these third parties cannot further collect, sell, or use the personal information we share with them except as necessary to perform our purposes, as instructed by us.
In the past 12 months, we may have disclosed the following categories of personal information to the following third parties for our operational business purposes:

Group Companies
Service Providers

If it is not reasonably possible to identify you, we may not be able to respond to your request.
