1. Watchers: Interacting with Videos and Ads
Information.  Indie Roar does not collect personally identifiable information (such as name, username, address, phone number or email address) from Watchers viewing or interacting with Videos and Ads. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indie Roar does collect certain non-personally identifying information about a Watcher each time a video is played. Indie Roar collects a Watcher's Internet Protocol ("IP") address and information that is specific to how a Watcher accesses and uses the Internet, as well as how they view and/or interact with videos and Ads: these non-personally identifying details include, but are not limited to, the website you are logged onto, the geographic location of the IP address you are using to access the Internet, which and how many web pages you have viewed within this site, search terms used, referring/exit pages, platform type and date/time information, the number and frequency of Watchers to each video and Ad, the length of their viewing patterns, the type of browser (and browser language) you use when Watching a Video, the operating system your browser uses and what technology is available through your browser in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a video or Ad (e.g., Flash or HTML) (collectively, with the identification of the video watched,"Technology Information").
Purpose.  The Technology Information Indie Roar collects about Watchers is anonymous and does not personally identify a Watcher. It is obtained for the purpose of selecting, delivering (and monitoring delivery and distribution of) Ads when a Watcher has watched a video, measuring the video and Ad effectiveness with Watchers and generally improving the Indie Roar Services. For each video Ad request, Indie Roar will use the Technology Information collected to select and display an Ad after the video play has been completed. Furthermore, Indie Roar uses the Technology Information collected to analyze trends, audit videos and Ads watched, monitor Ad clicks, identify the geographic reach of our videos and Ads, identify the audience most likely to respond to videos and Ads, and tailor Ad placements for our Sponsors accordingly. This information may be shared with Indie Roar's Filmmakers, Sponsors, employees, business partners and affiliates. Indie Roar may aggregate this information and share such aggregated information with interested third parties. In addition, Indie Roar reserves the right to track IP addresses for the purposes of fraud prevention, and Indie Roar reserves the right to release IP addresses to legal authorities.
Cookies.  Indie Roar uses cookies to help it collect, maintain and use Technology Information. A cookie is a 12pt data file that Indie Roar transfers to a Watcher's computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes when the Watcher is served a video and an Ad facilitated by Indie Roar. Cookies help Indie Roar better understand the effectiveness of Video and Ad (for example, by tracking the way in which a Watcher responds to, selects and interacts with a Video and Ad or any content provided therein, or the location and context in which a Watcher views a video and Ad). You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Indie Roar Services and Site may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled. Indie Roar's cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information and they can help control the type of Ad and number of times a Watcher views an Ad.
