We automatically collect certain types of usage information when users view the Website.

Advertising Ecosystem
We use online advertising services that enable a practice referred to as “online behavioral advertising.” These services aggregate data about an individual’s behavior on many different sites and online services, and use that data to sell targeted advertising services. For example, we permit Google’s advertising services to collect data about your behavior on StreamOS, or its subsidiaries, Websites, as do many other website operators who use Google’s ad services. Google combines the data about an individual that it collects from different sources, and uses this aggregate data to sell advertising services that target the display of ads to web users who meet certain behavioral criteria. Google does not disclose this aggregate data to StreamOS, or its subsidiaries,, but we are able to infer that users who interact with our ad meet the advertising criteria we provided. Google collects this data using cookies, web server logs (its own and its advertising customers), clear gifs and other online data collection techniques.

The European Union’s General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR) and the equivalent law in the UK require that processors of Personal Data meet one of the “lawful basis” or “legal basis” grounds defined in those laws. Our lawful basis for processing under these laws is either consent (for visitors) or the necessity of fulfilling our contractual obligations to our customer (for subscribers). In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect Personal Data from you or may otherwise need the Personal Data to protect your vital interests or those of another person. Where we rely on your consent to process the personal information, you have the right to withdraw or decline your consent at any time. Please note that this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
