1. About this policy
American Urban Radio Networks (“AURN,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operated by A Wonder Media Company, LLC, respects your privacy.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and retain personal information when you visit AURN.com, subscribe to our newsletters, submit a form, comment on an article, or interact with our website’s content and services.
This policy applies to AURN.com and services that specifically link to it. Other websites operated by our affiliated companies may have separate privacy policies.
2. Information we collect
Information you provide
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
Your name, email address, telephone number, company, job title, and other information you provide through contact, advertising, affiliate, or media kit request forms.
Your email address, subscription preferences, and other information you provide when subscribing to newsletters.
Comments, the display name associated with them, and information submitted with your comment.
Messages, feedback, and correspondence you send us.
Fields identified as required are needed to process the associated request. Please do not submit sensitive personal information unless we specifically request it through an appropriate process.
Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, we and providers whose services are used on the website may collect information such as:
IP address and approximate location derived from it.
Browser, device, operating system, and device or browser identifiers.
Pages viewed, referring websites, links clicked, and the dates and times of visits.
Interactions with advertisements, audio, video, and other website features.
Technical information used to maintain website performance and detect security threats.
Cookies, pixels, local storage, server logs, and similar technologies may be used to collect this information.
Information from providers
We may receive website analytics, advertising measurement reports, newsletter engagement information, and information about form delivery or spam detection from providers supporting these services.
3. How we use information
We use personal information to:
Operate, maintain, and improve the website.
Respond to inquiries and fulfill requests, including media kit requests.
Send newsletters and communications you request.
Administer comments and enforce participation rules.
Understand readership and measure the performance of content, newsletters, and advertising.
Support audio, video, and other website features.
Detect spam, fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
Comply with legal obligations and protect rights, property, and safety.
Submitting an inquiry or requesting a media kit does not, by itself, constitute permission to receive unrelated promotional email. Newsletter subscriptions and marketing preferences should be handled through the choices presented when information is collected.
We may use aggregated or deidentified information to understand audience trends and improve our services. Where required by law, we maintain deidentified information in that form and do not attempt to reidentify it.
4. Cookies, analytics, and advertising
Our website uses technologies that support essential website functions, remember preferences, measure readership, and deliver or measure advertising.
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website. Google Tag Manager may be used to manage website tags; the information collected depends on the services deployed through it.
Advertisements may use third-party tracking technologies. For example, Progressive campaign advertisements may include Google Campaign Manager/DoubleClick impression and click measurement. These technologies can transmit information when an advertisement loads or when a visitor clicks it. An advertisement offered as added value may still contain tracking technologies.
Advertising and analytics providers may process identifiers and information about your device and browsing activity. Depending on the provider and configuration, these technologies may recognize a browser across websites.
For information about Google’s practices, see Google’s Privacy Policy.
5. Newsletters
We use Mailchimp to help manage newsletter subscriptions and delivery. Information submitted through a newsletter signup may be transferred to Mailchimp for these purposes.
Newsletter services may measure delivery, opens, and link clicks through tracking technologies, depending on the settings enabled.
You can unsubscribe using the link in our marketing emails or contact us using the details below. Unsubscribing from marketing does not necessarily stop nonmarketing communications needed to respond to a request.
For information about Mailchimp’s practices, see Intuit’s Global Privacy Statement.
6. Comments and public contributions
If you submit a comment, your comment and associated display name may be publicly visible. Information you include in a public comment may be viewed, copied, or used by others.
Your email address submitted through the comment form is not intended to be publicly displayed. Technical information associated with comments may be processed for moderation, security, and spam prevention.
Please avoid including information in comments that you do not want made public. You may contact us to request removal of your own comment, subject to applicable law and our moderation practices.
7. Embedded content and external websites
Articles and other pages may include audio players, videos, social posts, or other content supplied by third parties.
When that content loads or you interact with it, the provider may receive information about your device and activity and may use cookies or similar technologies. If you are signed in to that provider, it may associate the interaction with your account.
External links take you to websites governed by their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review the policies and settings of the services you use.
8. When we disclose information
We may disclose personal information to:
Providers supporting hosting, content delivery, security, forms, email delivery, analytics, advertising, and embedded content.
Relevant affiliated companies when needed to handle an inquiry or provide a requested service.
Recipients you direct us to share information with.
Authorities or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to address fraud, security incidents, legal claims, or threats to rights and safety.
Parties involved in a proposed or completed merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or transfer of assets, subject to applicable safeguards and legal requirements.
Some providers process information on our behalf; others may process information for their own purposes as described in their privacy policies.
