your internet browser and/or your computer's hard drive for use in subsequent visits to the Sites

or other sites. See “Cookies Policy” below for more information.

You can opt-out of sharing your geo-location information through your mobile device settings. If you choose to opt-out, it may disable certain features of our mobile applications. We may use location information in a variety of ways, including to determine which of our locations may be closest to you, whether you are within the allowed geographical ordering range of one of our stores, and to offer products and services to you.

Opt-Out

When and if you provide us with your email or postal address, or have done so in the past, we will ask you if we can use it to send you updates on the latest Minimax news. If you do not want us to contact you, you can choose to "opt out," and Minimax will respect your wishes.

Sharing To Comply with Laws

In order to comply with the law, a subpoena or other litigation process, Minimax may also disclose specific information. This may also be done so to protect the interests or safety of its visitors and customers, and Minimax employees. This also includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Promotions

Any promotions such as sweepstakes, raffles, surveys, games, or of a similar nature offered by Minimax may be administered by specific rules and terms and conditions that are separate from and in addition to this Privacy Policy. By participating in any such sweepstakes, contest, raffle, survey, game, or similar promotion, you will become subject to those rules, including but not limited to receiving emails containing promotional communications.

Data Security

Minimax is fully committed to data security. We utilize security techniques on the Sites to help protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information collected from you. When you transmit personally identifiable data to the Sites, that information is stored on servers that the Sites have attempted to secure from unauthorized access or intrusion. "Secure Socket Layer" software encrypts personal information you transmit to the Sites. However, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of the information you transmit to us. In this regard, we urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data while you are on the Internet. At a minimum, we encourage you to make sure that you are using a secure browser as you surf the Internet.

Cookies Policy

The Sites use "cookies," which are small pieces of information stored by your browser or other application on your computer's browser or hard drive. The cookies are used to connect your computer with information stored about your online activity, searches, preferences and product purchases both within the same website visit and from one visit to the next on Minimax and/or other websites. (Some examples of this data include your user specific information on pages accessed, searched terms or addresses entered, and previous visits to the site.) The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive new cookies or how to disable cookies altogether. If you reject cookies, you may not be able to participate in certain activities or receive a promotion tailored to you. The Sites do not control and do not guarantee the effectiveness of browser-based tools for managing cookies.

We or our partners may also use Flash cookies (also known as Local Stored Objects) or other similar technologies. A Flash cookie is a small data file placed on a computer using Adobe Flash or similar technology that may be built into your computer or downloaded or installed by you to your computer. We use these technologies to personalize and enhance your online experience, facilitate processes, and personalize and store your settings. Flash cookies may help our website visitors to, for example, set volume preference associated with a video experience, play games and perform surveys. They help us improve our Sites by measuring which areas are of greatest interest to customers. They may be recognized by other sites or by our marketing or business partners. Flash cookies are different from browser cookies and the cookie management tools provided by your browser may not remove Flash cookies. If you disable Flash cookies or other similar technologies, please be aware that you may not have access to certain features and services that make your online experience more efficient and enjoyable.

We may also use web beacons, which are electronic images that may be used on our websites or in our emails. We use web beacons to deliver cookies, count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness and to tell if an email has been opened and acted upon.

Social Media

We maintain a social media presence, such as a Minimax Facebook page, a Minimax Instagram page and Minimax Twitter feed. You can interact with us through social media, such as by entering our contests, posting content, sharing material from Minimax’s websites, and using our social media plug-ins. When you interact with us using social media, we may receive information such as your user ID, your profile picture, photos you post, and similar information, which is often determined by your privacy settings at social media sites. We may use the information for the same types of purposes we describe throughout this Privacy Policy. Your use of social media sites is primarily governed by the site operators’ privacy policies and terms of service, and the information you share with us and with others is largely controlled by the privacy settings you have established at those sites.

Network and Interest-Based Advertising

We may also enter into agreements with third parties that possess technology that allows the Sites to use targeting or advertising cookies to see popular areas and features, track visits to our Sites and customize the advertising and marketing messages you receive on the Sites. This information may be shared with these third parties for this purpose. The Sites may use Google Analytics and the third-party cookie DoubleClick to optimize our Sites based on the traffic we receive and assist with marketing. To learn more about Google Analytics, including options for opting out and/or managing the ads you may see online.

We also provide interest-based advertising about our products and services on other parties’ websites. We may utilize third-party advertising companies that through tracking technologies are able to serve our advertisements. These companies may collect information about your visits to the Sites and other websites and your interaction with our advertising and other communications. These advertising companies serve ads on behalf of us and others on non-affiliated sites, and some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information collected about your visits to the Sites and elsewhere over time. Other companies may also use such technology to advertise on our Sites. You have the choice to tell us not to collect and use this information.
