We Allow for Personalized Advertising on Times Services and Create Audiences for Third-Party Advertisers

We gather data and work with service providers and third parties to show you and measure the performance of personalized ads on behalf of advertisers. This data comes from ad tracking technologies set by us or the third party (e.g., cookies), the information you provide (e.g., your email address), your use of Times Services (e.g., your reading and account activity history), information from advertisers or advertising vendors (e.g., demographic data) and anything inferred from any of this information.

For example, we use Google to serve ads on Times Services. Google uses cookies or unique device identifiers, in combination with their own data, to show you ads based on your visit to nytimes.com and other sites. You can opt out of the use of certain Google cookies by visiting the related Google privacy policy.

You can find a list of some of the service providers and third parties with whom we work, and opt out links in some cases, here.

We also identify groups of users to whom to serve personalized ads on behalf of our advertisers. To do this, we combine information we collect through surveys or registration with information we collect automatically using tracking technologies while you browse our sites and apps. This combined information is used to build models. These data models are then used to measure users’ attributes, like their demographic information or their interests. Working with service providers, we use these measurements to group users by common attributes. Each group is associated with a random ID which is then passed to our ad server for use in targeting ad campaigns on our sites and apps.

We may also target third party advertising to users through matching services such as Unified ID 2.0 and LiveRamp’s Authenticated Traffic Solution (“ATS”). In these situations, we use information that directly identifies you, including name, email address, or phone number, to engage in targeted advertising, including by converting email addresses/phone numbers into identifiers used for advertising purposes. We share information that we collect from you, such as your email, IP address or information about your browser or operating system, with our identity partners/service providers, including LiveRamp Inc. LiveRamp returns an online identification code that we may store in our first-party cookie for our use in online, in-app, and cross-channel advertising and it may be shared with advertising companies to enable interest-based and targeted advertising. You can read more about LiveRamp’s privacy practice here.

We may also collect such information (name, email, IP address, phone number and/or information about your browser or operating system) from third parties for the purposes of personalized marketing to you on Times Services and/or to create audiences for third-party advertisers.

For more information about your choices with respect to such processing, please see the What Are Your Rights and Choices? section below.

Another example is our affiliate link vendors, which we use in our guides and product recommendations. Times Services like Wirecutter may include links that will send you to vendor URLs and other services not operated or controlled by us. These vendors use cookies and other technologies to collect information about your navigation from the Times Services to the merchant you are visiting. If you buy a product after following a link to a link vendor’s URL, we may earn a commission.

Additional Notes:

  • For more about targeted advertising, and how to opt out with your specific browser and device, go to the DAA Webchoices Browser Check and NAI Opt Out of Interest-Based Advertising. You can download the AppChoices app to opt out in mobile apps. You can also follow the instructions in the What Are Your Rights and Choices? section below.
  • We try to limit how our third-party advertising technology vendors use the information they gather from you. Many of these providers require us to enter into contracts that allow them to optimize their own services and products, or that help them create their own. Essentially, these providers combine any information they gather about you through Times Services with information they receive from their other clients. This helps them target ads to you on behalf of their other clients, not just us.
  • These third parties sometimes use other services in order to serve ads; check their privacy policies for more details. For further information on tracking technologies and your rights and choices regarding them, see the applicable Cookie Policy. As described in more detail below, residents of certain states have the right to instruct us not to “sell” or “share” their personal information and/or to opt out of “targeted advertising” and “sales” (as defined under applicable law). For more information, please see the What Are Your Rights and Choices? section below.

2. (H) We Advertise or Market Times Services to You

We market our Times Services to you. Sometimes we use marketing vendors to do this. For example, when you visit Times Services, the Google Dynamic Floodlight tag collects data through redirects of requests from your browser to entities other than Times Services, Google, and the owner or operator of other properties on which The Times may serve marketing using Google.

We serve ads through websites, locations, platforms and services operated and owned by third parties. Often these ads are targeted at people who have visited or registered for a Times Service but have not subscribed to or purchased anything. The ads are also targeted at people with similar traits or behaviors to our subscribers or customers. We use the information described in Section 1 above, including inferences, to build audiences that may be used for purposes of these marketing initiatives. We may also make predictions using machine learning, as described above, based on a combination of different kinds of information, including survey data, to support these marketing initiatives.

We also target our advertising of Times Services to users by uploading a customer list (email addresses) to a third party, or by incorporating a tracking technology from a third party onto our Times Service. The third party then matches individuals who appear in both our data and their data.

We will take steps designed to opt you out of such matched ads if you are a resident of certain states where you have the right to opt out of such processing, as discussed further below. That being said, in order to opt out of receiving these matched ads, you should also contact the applicable third parties. For example, when we use “Custom Audiences” to serve you our ad through Facebook, you should be able to hover over the box in the right corner of that Facebook ad and opt out. We are not responsible for any third party’s failure to comply with opt-out requests. To opt out of Unified ID 2.0 (or UID 2), please visit https://www.transparentadvertising.com/.

We periodically send you targeted email newsletters or promotional emails. For information on opting out of these emails, see What Are Your Rights and Choices? below.

2. (I) We Aggregate (or De-identify) Personal Information into Larger Findings

Sometimes we aggregate or de-identify information so that it can no longer identify you, as defined under applicable laws. This helps us better understand and represent our users, such as when we measure ad performance, create audiences for advertising or marketing interest-based segments or compile survey results. We can use and disclose this aggregated or de-identified information for any purpose, unless an applicable law says otherwise. We will maintain and use such information in deidentified form and not attempt to reidentify the information, except where reidentification is allowed by law for particular purposes.

3. To Whom Do We Disclose or Share the Information We Gather for Business and Commercial Purposes?

3. (A) Within The New York Times Company

Our affiliates may access your information for the purposes listed here. Our affiliates include the companies on this list.

3. (B) With Service Providers

We work with service providers, as defined above, to carry out certain tasks, including the following business purposes:

  • Processing your payments
  • Fulfilling your orders
  • Maintaining technology and related infrastructure
  • Offering you customer service
  • Serving and targeting ads and measuring ad performance (including counting ad impressions of unique visitors, verifying positioning and quality of ad impressions and auditing compliance with these specifications and other standards)
  • Presenting surveys
  • Shipping you products and mailings
  • Distributing emails
  • List processing and analytics
  • Assessing compliance with our Terms of Service, applicable Acceptable Use Policies, and other applicable terms and conditions
  • Managing and analyzing research
  • Managing promotions
  • Detecting security incidents, protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, and debugging to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.

When performing these tasks, service providers often have access to your personal information.

We sometimes allow them to use aggregated or de-identified information for other purposes, in accordance with applicable laws.

3. (C) With Other Third Parties

There are situations when we disclose your information to third parties beyond our service providers. For example, as discussed above in Section 2(G) and (H), we share your email address and other personal information with third parties both for marketing of Times Services across third party sites and services, and to support matching for third party advertising on Times Services. Those emails may or may not be hashed when they are shared with third parties.

It is worth noting how practices of certain vendors and changes in law outside of our control have changed what we can say about this. First, as noted elsewhere in this Policy, to the extent regulators take the position that the disclosure of information for matched ads is a “sale,” we will take steps designed to opt you out of such matched ads if you are a resident of an applicable jurisdiction and you exercise your right not to have your personal information “sold.” As noted above, you may also have to contact certain third parties to opt out of such matched ads.

Second, at least one of our vendors uses pseudonymized email addresses they receive from us to power products that they provide to us and their other customers. Therefore, it is possible that your email address, which was shared with our vendor to provide services to us, is being used in pseudonymized form by the vendor to provide products and services to other companies.

While we try to control the behavior of our vendors that we understand to be service providers, some of those vendors engage in activities beyond our control that may be seen by a regulator as the activities of “third parties,” not service providers.

The following provides more information about the circumstances in which we know we are disclosing personal information to third parties that are not service providers.

i. If you’re a U.S. print subscriber, we may provide your name and mailing address (among other information) to other companies that want to market to you by mail. This may be a “sale” of personal information under the law of some jurisdictions. If you prefer we don’t share this information, refer below to What Are Your Rights and Choices? below.

ii. We provide information to third party advertisers and their agencies as described in Section 2(G) above. With the evolution of advertising technology, and the deprecation of third-party cookies, our advertising business is also changing and we share your first party data with advertisers and their agencies in some cases.

iii. We provide information to websites, locations, platforms and services operated and owned by third parties in connection with marketing, as described in Section 2(H) above.

iv. We provide information about our live event and conference attendees (e.g., your name, your company or your job title) to the event sponsors. In those cases, we notify you when you provide us the information.

v. We provide information about participants in our sweepstakes, contests and similar promotions to the promotions’ sponsors. In those cases, we notify you when you provide us the information.

vi. We process payments you make through Times Services with external services. There are two ways this can happen:

  • We collect your information and provide it to the third-party service for processing (such as Worldpay).
  • The third-party service collects your information for processing.

vii. In the event of a reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings), we would have a legitimate interest in disclosing or transferring your information to a third party — such as an acquiring entity and its advisers.

viii. We can preserve or disclose personal information if the law requires us to do so. We can also preserve or disclose personal information if we believe it would be necessary to:

  • Comply with the law or with legal process
  • Protect and defend our rights and property
  • Protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Times Services
  • Protect the safety or property of our personnel, users or the general public (e.g., if you provide false information or attempt to pose as someone else, we could share your information to help investigations into your actions)
  • Cooperate with government authorities, which could be outside your country of residence.

ix. We disclose public activities in our RSS feeds, APIs and other distribution formats. Your public activities could thus appear on other websites, blogs or feeds.

x. As described above in the section on user-generated content, information that you make public or send via direct message chat will be shared with other users, including user profile information. Please remember that any content you upload to your public user profile, along with any personal information or content that you voluntarily disclose online in a manner other users can view becomes publicly available, and can be collected and used by anyone. Your profile—including display name, selected picture, and gameplay data—will also be available to game opponents, “friends,” and others through leaderboards. Your username may also be displayed to other users if and when you send messages or comments or upload images or videos through Times Services, and other users may be able to contact you through messages and comments.

xi. With your consent, your display name and selected picture will be available to other users if they allow us to access their contacts list and your contact information is on their contact list, or they link their account to a third-party service (like a Facebook account) and you are connected with them on that third-party service. You can change your permissions at any time via the Settings tab in the app.

xii. If you use a promotional or discount code that you receive from another company in order to purchase Times Services, we will share the fact that you redeemed that code with that third party company.

As described above in Section 2(I), we may disclose aggregated or de-identified information for any purpose, unless an applicable law says otherwise.

4. What Are Your Rights and Choices?

We provide a variety of ways for you to control the personal information we hold about you, including choices about how we use that information. In some jurisdictions, these controls and choices are enforceable as rights under applicable law. The choices described below are limited to the specific email address, phone or device used. They won’t affect different email addresses, phones or devices used, or subsequent subscriptions.

4. (A) In General

i. Communications Preferences

• Email

We offer a variety of commercial emails and email newsletters. You can unsubscribe from emails and email newsletters from The Times, including emails regarding The Athletic, by following the instructions near the bottom of the email. You can also email us at motiur@fixadvise.com.

You can also manage your nytimes.com newsletter and marketing communications preferences.

To stop receiving emails and email newsletters sent directly by The Athletic, you must separately manage your communications preferences on your The Athletic settings page or contact customer care.

• Mail or Telephone Promotions

You can ask us to unsubscribe from our mail or telephone solicitations. In some jurisdictions, as discussed elsewhere in this Policy, you can also ask us to not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes. To do so, call us at 1-800-698-4637 or chat with us. You may also email us at motiur@fixadvise.com with “Opt Out” in the subject line and your account number and phone number in the body of the email.

For International Edition customers, you can write us at: The New York Times International Edition, Subscription Dept. 8 Bloomsbury Street, London, WC1B 3SR, United Kingdom. Please include your account number and phone number in the body of the letter.

• Push Notifications

You can opt out any time by adjusting your device settings, or uninstalling our app.

•  Text Messages

You can opt out of text alerts any time by replying “STOP,” or any alternative keyword we’ve shared with you.

We complete any opt-out request as quickly as we can. This opt-out request won’t prohibit us from sending you important nonmarketing notices.

ii. Access, Correct, Change/Update, Delete or Restrict Processing of Your Personal Information

In some jurisdictions, you may exercise the following choices:

  • Access, modify or delete the personal information we have about you
  • Be informed of or receive an electronic copy of the personal information we have about you, for data portability.
  • Restrict, or object to, how we process personal information about you

For example, in the European Union and the United Kingdom, you have the right to object to, or obtain a restriction of, the processing of your personal information under certain circumstances; and where the processing is based on your consent, you have a right to withdraw that consent at any time for future processing.

If you’d like to exercise any of the above choices, contact us via this form or by calling us at our toll-free number, 1-800-NYTIMES. In order to exercise your choices for The Athletic, click here or contact motiur@fixadvise.com. In your request, please be specific. State the information you want changed, whether you’d like your information suppressed from our database or whether there are limitations you’d like us to put on how we use your personal information. Please use the email address linked to that personal information — we only complete requests on the information linked to your email address. To verify your identity, we will email the email address you provide us and wait for your response. In some instances, we may also ask for additional information. This is how we verify your identity before complying. If you use Times Services without creating an account and signing in, there may be no reasonable means by which we can verify your identity or the personal information related to you.

In some jurisdictions, you can designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. In order to do that, please provide the agent with written permission, signed by you, authorizing the agent to submit the request on your behalf. The agent must submit that written permission along with the request. We may contact you to verify your identity — and the authorized agent’s permission — before a response to the request is sent.

We’ll respond to your request in a manner consistent with applicable law, including any exceptions that may result in a request being denied in whole or in part.

We might need to keep certain information for recordkeeping purposes, or to complete a transaction you began prior to requesting a change or deletion (e.g., if you make a purchase or enter a promotion, you might not be able to change or delete the personal information provided until after the completion of the purchase or promotion).

In some cases, your request doesn’t ensure complete removal of the content or information.

iii. Managing Your Digital and Home Delivery Accounts

You can update your account information and see your transaction history (if you are an International Edition print subscriber, use this link instead). If you need assistance, call our toll-free number, 1-800-NYTIMES. Other local numbers are available.

Managing your account information works differently if you subscribed via Apple’s App Store or Google Play. Please register with us to access the Account area and contact Apple or Google for your transaction history.

iv. Browser and Platform Controls

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can go to your browser settings to learn how to delete or reject cookies. If you choose to delete or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our websites. If you choose to delete cookies, settings and preferences controlled by those cookies, including advertising preferences, may be deleted and may need to be recreated. For more information, read our Cookie Policy.

In certain jurisdictions, you may also be able to manage your cookie preferences through our consent management platform.

• Global Privacy Control

Some browsers and browser extensions support the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating your choice to opt-out from certain types of data processing, including data “sales” as defined under certain laws. In certain territories, when we detect such a signal, we will make reasonable efforts to respect your choices indicated by a GPC setting as required by applicable law.

• Do Not Track

Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Unlike the GPC described above, there is not a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal; therefore, our websites do not respond to browser DNT signals. Instead, you can use the range of other tools to control data collection and use, including the cookie controls and advertising controls described above.

• Mobile Advertising ID Controls

iOS and Android operating systems provide options to limit tracking and/or reset the advertising IDs.

• Email Web Beacons

Most email clients have settings which allow you to prevent the automatic downloading of images, including web beacons, which prevents the automatic connection to the web servers that host those images.

•  LiveRamp ATS

To opt out of LiveRamp’s ATS, described in greater detail above, please click here.

v. Opt Out of Targeted Advertising and “Sales or Sharing” of Personal Information

If you are a U.S. resident, you can opt out of targeted advertising and “sales or sharing” (as those terms are defined under applicable law) of your personal information by clicking on the “Your Privacy Choices” link at the bottom of the webpage where your information is being collected or go to “Account” and then “Settings,” and “Privacy Settings” and click the “Your Privacy Choices” link there. California residents can review relevant information relating to California privacy laws below.

vi. Delete My Account

You have the ability to delete your registered user account in New York Times native apps and on the web at nytimes.com/account, and separately in The Athletic’s app. If you delete your registered user account in the New York Times native apps or on the web at nytimes.com/account, we will, except where otherwise restricted by law, delete you from our registered user database and remove you from our email marketing and newsletter lists. If you delete your registered user account in The Athletic’s app, we will, except where otherwise restricted by law, delete you from our registered user database, however you will need to separately unsubscribe from The Athletic’s emails and email newsletters as explained in Section 4(A)(i) above. If you are a subscriber, you will need to cancel any active subscriptions and wait for their benefits to end before deleting your account. Even if you have never created a separate account with The Athletic, it is possible that The Athletic has created such an account for you. You must take additional steps to delete that separate account with The Athletic even if you delete your New York Times account.

vii. Other Rights and Choices

You will not receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of your privacy rights.

This Policy has been designed to be accessible to people with disabilities. If you experience difficulties accessing this Policy, please contact us at motiur@fixadvise.com.

In some jurisdictions, you may appeal to us if we refuse to take action on your exercise of certain choices described above. In order to appeal such a refusal, please contact us at motiur@fixadvise.com using the subject line “Appeal of Refusal to Take Action on Privacy Request” and provide the relevant information in the email.

In the European Union, you can lodge a complaint with an E.U. data protection authority. In Australia or New Zealand, if you are not satisfied with our resolution of your complaint, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner through their website at www.oaic.gov.au or the Office of the New Zealand Privacy Commissioner through their website at www.privacy.org.nz. We encourage you to first contact us with any questions or concerns.

4. (B) California Privacy Notices and Rights

If you are a California resident, you have certain rights with respect to your personal information.

i. Notice at Collection and Notice of Financial Incentives

At or before the time of collection, you have a right to receive notice of our practices, including the categories of personal information and sensitive personal information to be collected, the purposes for which such information is collected or used, whether such information is “sold or shared” as defined under California law and how long such information is retained. You can find those details in this Privacy Policy by clicking on the above links.

For the Notice of Financial Incentives, see Section 1(A)(i) above.

ii. Rights to Know, Correction and Deletion

You have a right to request that we disclose to you the personal information we have collected about you. You also have a right to request additional information about our collection, use, disclosure, or sale of such personal information. Note that we have provided much of this information in this Privacy Policy. You also have rights to request that we correct inaccurate personal information and that we delete personal information under certain circumstances, subject to a number of exceptions. Under the CCPA, these rights are subject to certain exceptions: for example, we may need to retain your personal information to provide you with Times Services or to complete a transaction or other action you have requested. If your request is subject to one of these exceptions, we may deny your request.

Please see Access, Correct, Change/Update, Delete, or Restrict Processing of Your Personal Information above for details, including on how to exercise these rights and how we verify your identity.

iii. “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”

To the extent The New York Times Company “sells” your personal information (as the term “sell” is defined under the CCPA), you have the right to opt-out of that “sale” on a going-forward basis at any time.

If you’re a California resident, you have a right to opt-out from the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information with third parties who are not our service providers (as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act, or “CCPA” for short in this Policy). To exercise this right, click the “Your Privacy Choices” link on the bottom of the webpage where your information is being collected or go to “Account” and then “Settings,” and “Privacy Settings” and click the “Your Privacy Choices” link there. You can also submit a request to opt-out by emailing us at motiur@fixadvise.com with the subject line “California Resident – Do Not Sell or Share.” Finally, if your browser supports it, you can turn on the Global Privacy Control to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information.

If you have an account with certain Times Services (specifically nytimes.com, cooking.nytimes.com, nytimes.com/crosswords, the New York Times app, the New York Times Cooking app and the New York Times Games app) and are logged in, we will save your preference and honor your opt-out request across browsers and devices so long as you remain logged in. If you are not logged in, or do not have an account with any Times Services listed above, your opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information will be specific to the browser or device from which you have clicked “Your Privacy Choices” and until you clear your cookies (or local storage in apps) on this browser or device.

We do not knowingly “sell” or “share” (as those terms are defined by the CCPA) the personal information of minors under 16 years old.

A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.  Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

 

By using the site from which you linked, you consent to the use of such cookies and the sharing of data captured by such cookies with Monumetric, Google, and our site’s other third party partners. You can view, delete or add interest categories associated with your browser by visiting: https://adssettings.google.com. You can also opt out of the network cookie using those settings or using the Network Advertising Initiative’s multi-cookie opt-out mechanism at: http://optout.networkadvertising.org. However, these opt-out mechanisms themselves use cookies, and if you clear the cookies from your browser your opt-out will not be maintained.

 

This website uses cookies to:

1) Identify you as a returning user and to count your visits in traffic statistics analysis

2) Remember your custom display preferences (such as whether you prefer comments to display all-collapsed or not)

4) Provide other usability features, including tracking whether you’ve already given your consent to cookies

Enabling cookies is not strictly necessary for the website to work but it will provide you with a better browsing experience. The cookie-related information is not used to identify you personally and is not used for any purpose other than those described here.

There may also be other types of cookies created after you’ve visited this website. This site uses Google Analytics, a popular web analytics service that uses cookies to help to analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of other website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google undertakes not to associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

 

Third Party Advertising

This site has third-party advertising companies serving ads to you when you visit. These companies may store information about your visits here and to other websites in order to provide you with relevant advertisements about goods and services. For example, if they know what ads you are shown while visiting this site, they can be careful not to show you the same ones repeatedly.

These companies may employ cookies and other identifiers to gather information which measures advertising effectiveness. The information is generally not personally identifiable unless, for example, you provide personally identifiable information to them through an ad or an email message.

They do not associate your interaction with unaffiliated sites with your identity in providing you with interest-based ads.

This site does not provide any personal information to advertisers or to third party sites. Advertisers and other third parties (including the ad networks, ad-serving companies, and other service providers they may use) may assume that users who interact with or click on a personalized ad or content are part of the group that the ad or content is directed towards (for example, readers in the Pacific Northwest who read certain types of articles). Also, some third-party cookies may provide them with information about you (such as the sites where you have been shown ads or demographic information) from offline and online sources that they may use to provide you more relevant and useful advertising.

To learn more about what options you have about limiting the gathering of information by third-party ad networks, you can consult the website of the Network Advertising Initiative.

You can opt out of participating in interest-based advertising networks but opting out does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising. It does mean that the companies from which you opted out will no longer customize ads based on your interests and web usage patterns using cookie-based technology.
