We may use third-party Web analytics services in connection with the The Jazz Line Services, such as those of Google Analytics and its advertising features, Quantcast, and/or comScore. These service providers use a variety of tracking technologies such as cookies to analyze how users use the The Jazz Line Services. The information collected (described above in “Automatically Collected Information”) will be collected directly by these service providers to evaluate your use of the The Jazz Line Services. The Jazz Line also operates an in-house analytics service. All data we collect in this in-house service is controlled by The Jazz Line, and governed by this Privacy Policy.

The Jazz Line may allow advertisers, third-party advertising networks and third-party ad-serving companies to serve advertisements directly to you within the The Jazz Line Services and other The Jazz Line websites and services. By serving these advertisements directly to you, these companies can set their own cookies on your computer and trigger their own Web beacons and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements, and to collect and track information such as demographic information, inferred interests, aggregated information, and activity to assist them in personalizing the advertising content delivered to you. The Jazz Line does not directly provide information that is intended to identify you personally to these third-party ad servers or ad networks. However, if you respond to an advertisement that targets a certain audience (for example, males age 20 to 25 who have participated in certain promotions), the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience that they were trying to reach.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party advertisers, third-party advertising networks, or third-party advertising servers. The Jazz Line cannot control the tracking technologies and activities of these third-parties. You should consult the respective privacy policies of these advertisers, third-party advertising networks, or third-party advertising servers.
