Do you collect anonymous aggregated data, and what do you do with it?
Anonymous data is information (originally personally identifiable or non-personally identifiable) that subsequently is used in aggregate form. We may use anonymous data for purposes of research or analysis. We may conduct research on our customer demographics, internet usage, and interests and behavior based on personal data we gather. Notwithstanding, anonymous data may be based in part on personal data, even if it does not identify you personally. BlackTV247 may share this type of anonymous data with a variety of third parties, including its affiliates, advertisers, and other current and prospective business partners. However, because it is anonymous, these third parties will be unable to contact you based on this data.

BlackTV247 may display targeted advertisements based on personal information. BlackTV247 does not provide any personal information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad, however advertisers may assume that people who interact with, view, or click targeted ads meet the targeting criteria.

We may use anonymous data collected for website administration, advertising, and promotional purposes, and we may share such information with various affiliated and unaffiliated entities for such purposes. We may also enter into agreements with outside companies that possess the technology which allows us to customize the advertising and marketing messages you receive while utilizing the BlackTV247 Services.
