COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

On occasion, PDP may use third-party advertising companies that use tracking technologies to serve our advertisements based on your online browsing history and interests across the Internet. These advertising networks, social media companies, and other third-party services may collect information about your use of our Services and third-party websites and your interaction with our advertising and other communications. Typically, though not always, the information used for interest-based advertising is collected through cookies or similar tracking technologies. We may share a common account identifier (such as an email address or user ID) or hashed data with our third-party advertising partners to help identify you across devices. These advertising companies serve ads on behalf of us and others on nonaffiliated 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 use of the Services and elsewhere over time. We and our third-party partners use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research. You have the choice to tell us not to collect and use this information, and in some jurisdictions, we will only engage in interest-based advertising if you opt-in. To learn more about interest-based advertising and how you may be able to opt out of some of this advertising, you may wish to visit the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (DAA) resources and/or the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”)’s online resources, at https://www.aboutads.info/choices or https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices, and you can opt out of receiving some interest-based advertisements on mobile apps by visiting https://www.aboutads.info/appchoices. You may also be able to limit interest-based advertising through the settings menu on your mobile device by turning off “personalized ads” (iOS) or selecting “opt-out of interest-based ads” (Android). You may also be able to opt out of some—but not all—interest-based advertising served by mobile ad networks by visiting https://youradchoices.com/appchoices and downloading the mobile AppChoices app.

Google Analytics and Advertising. We use Google Analytics to recognize you and link the devices you use when you visit our site or Services on your browser or otherwise engage with us. We share a unique identifier with Google to facilitate the service. Google Analytics allows us to better understand how our users interact with our Services and to tailor our advertisements and content to you. For information on how Google Analytics collects and processes data, as well as how you can control information sent to Google, review Google’s site “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps” located at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can learn about Google Analytics’ currently available opt-outs, including the Google Analytics Browser Ad-On here https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

We may also utilize certain forms of display advertising and other advanced features through Google Analytics, such as Remarketing with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, the DoubleClick Campaign Manager Integration, and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. These features enable us to use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick advertising cookie) or other third-party cookies together to inform, optimize, and display ads based on your past visits to the Services. You may control your advertising preferences or opt out of certain Google advertising products by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager, currently available at https://google.com/ads/preferences, or by visiting NAI’s online resources at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices.

LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or third-party services, which may have privacy policies that differ from our own, including, for example, the services provided by Bazaarvoice, Inc., PDP’s third-party customer service provider, and Gleam, our third-party sweepstakes service provider.

PDP does not have control over and is not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of such third-party websites and services. Please refer to the privacy policies of the applicable third-party website or service to learn about how they handle your personal information before disclosing any personal information.

LINKS FROM THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

PDP may use outside marketing companies to place advertisements or links to our Websites on third-party websites. The marketing company or the operator of such third-party websites may collect information about people who click on an advertisement for or link to our Websites. PDP does not have control and is not responsible for privacy policies and practices of such marketing companies or third-party websites. Please refer to their privacy policies to learn about how they handle your personal information before disclosing any personal information.

ACCOUNTS OWNED OR CONTROLLED BY THIRD PARTIES

You may choose to create accounts on websites or platforms owned or controlled by third parties to purchase our products. These third parties may use your information for their own purposes, including for behavioral advertising and analytics purposes.

OUR SERVICES ARE INTENDED FOR CUSTOMERS IN THE UNITED STATES

PDP’s server is located in the United States. We, as a U.S. based company, do not solicit or knowingly collect personal data from individuals located outside of the United States through the Services. If you are located outside the United States and choose to contact us and send us personal information voluntarily (e.g., by placing an order online via our Services), please be advised that your personal information will be processed in the United States and that the protection of your personal information in the United States may be different from data protection in the country where you reside. Where this occurs, you acknowledge and where required, consent to such transfer in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

You are also advised to consider before you voluntarily send personal information to us that there might not be an independent data protection authority and/or safeguards of the data processing principles and/or safeguards of data subject rights in the United States as set forth under your data protection law, unless such rights are explicitly mentioned in this Privacy Policy.

TEXT MARKETING AND NOTIFICATIONS

By entering your phone number in the checkout and initializing a purchase, subscribing via our subscription form, or a keyword, you agree that we may send you text notifications (for your order, including abandoned cart reminders) and text marketing offers. Text marketing messages will not exceed 30 a month. You acknowledge that consent is not a condition for any purchase.

If you wish to unsubscribe from receiving text marketing messages and notifications reply with STOP to any mobile message sent from us or use the unsubscribe link we provided you within any of our messages. You understand and agree that alternative methods of opting out, such as using alternative words or requests will not be accounted for as a reasonable means of opting out. Message and data rates may apply.

For any questions please text HELP to the number you received the messages from. You can also contact us for more information. If you wish to opt out please follow the procedures above.

DATA SECURITY AND RETENTION

Please be aware that, despite our reasonable efforts to protect your information, no transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed 100% secure, as no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to or from the Services, and you do so at your own risk.

We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and processed, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for your personal information, we will consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and applicable legal requirements.

U.S. STATE PRIVACY SUPPLEMENT

Our U.S. State Privacy Supplement (“Supplement”) provides additional information about our personal information processing practices in accordance with certain state privacy law requirements, including the California Consumer Privacy Act. Unless otherwise expressly stated, all terms defined in the Supplement retain the same meaning in this Privacy Policy.

OPTING OUT OF PROMOTIONAL MAIL AND EMAILS

While we hope that the information included in this Privacy Policy has helped you better understand how we use and protect your information to provide you with better service, we understand that you may still choose to not receive information from PDP or our partners. As a part of our commitment to your privacy, we agree to honor customers’ requests not to receive mail or email from PDP.

If you have previously opted to receive, or otherwise currently receive, promotional emails from us, you may unsubscribe by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in the email or by emailing us at privacy@turtlebeach.com. Within a reasonable period of time after unsubscribing, you will no longer receive marketing mailings and/or emails from PDP. You may still receive emails regarding your transactions, for example, confirming that you have placed an order or that a product you have ordered has shipped.

We will never request personal information from anyone whom we know to be under the age of 18 without verifiable parental consent.

If we become aware that a customer is under the age of 18 and has provided us with personal information, we will take commercially reasonable efforts to remove his or her personal information from our database.
