Information We Collect
We collect information in multiple ways, including when you
provide information directly to us; when we passively collect
information from you, such as from your browser or device; and
from third parties.
Information You Provide Directly to Us
We will collect any information you provide to us. We may collect
information from you in a variety of ways, such as when you: (a)
create an online account, (b) make a donation or purchase, (c)
contact us or provide feedback, (d) subscribe to our newsletter,
or (e) subscribe to our newsletter. This information may include
but is not limited to your name, email address, phone number,
mailing address, payment information and your geographic location.
Information that Is Automatically Collected
Device/Usage Information
We may automatically collect certain information about the
computer or devices (including mobile devices or tablets) you use
to access the Services. As described further below, we may collect
and analyze (a) device information such as IP addresses, location
information (by country and city), unique device identifiers, IMEI
and TCP/IP address, browser types, browser language, operating
system, mobile device carrier information, and (b) information
related to the ways in which you interact with the Services, such
as referring and exit web pages and URLs, platform type, the
number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages and content
viewed and the order of those pages, statistical information about
the use of the Services, the amount of time spent on particular
pages, the date and time you used the Services, the frequency of
your use of the Services, error logs, and other similar
information. As described further below, we may use third-party
analytics providers and technologies, including cookies and
similar tools, to assist in collecting this information.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
We also collect data about your use of the Services through the
use of Internet server logs and online tracking technologies, like
cookies and/or tracking pixels. A web server log is a file where
website activity is stored. A cookie is a small text file that is
placed on your computer when you visit a website, that enables us
to: (a) recognize your computer; (b) store your preferences and
settings; (c) understand the web pages of the Services you have
visited and the referral sites that have led you to our Services;
(d) enhance your user experience by delivering content specific to
your inferred interests; (e) perform searches and analytics; and
(f) assist with security administrative functions. Tracking pixels
(sometimes referred to as web beacons or clear GIFs) are tiny
electronic tags with a unique identifier embedded in websites,
online ads and/or email, and that are designed to provide usage
information like ad impressions or clicks, measure popularity of
the Services and associated advertising, and to access user
cookies. We may also use tracking technologies in our license
buttons and/or icons that you can embed on other sites/services to
track the website addresses where they are embedded, gauge user
interaction with them, and determine the number of unique viewers
of them. If you receive email from us (such as the CC newsletter,
campaign updates, or other ongoing email communications from CC),
we may use certain analytics tools, such as clear GIFs, to capture
data such as whether you open our message, click on any links or
banners our email contains, or otherwise interact with what we
send. This data allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our
communications and marketing campaigns. As we adopt additional
technologies, we may also gather additional information through
other methods.
Please note that you can change your settings to notify you when a
cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether.
Please consult the “Help” section of your browser for more
information. Please note that by blocking any or all cookies, you
may not have access to certain features or offerings of the
Services.
For more information about how we use cookies, please read our
Cookie Policy.

and marketing and market research firms. Depending on the source,
this information collected from third parties could include name,

jurisdictions have certain legal rights (subject to applicable
exceptions and limitations) to obtain confirmation of whether we
hold certain information about them, to access such information,
and to obtain its correction or deletion in appropriate
circumstances. You may have the right to object to our handling of

International Transfers
As described above in the “When We Disclose Your Information”
section, we may share your information with trusted service
providers or business partners in countries other than your

acknowledge any such transfer, storage or use.
If we provide any information about you to any third parties

appropriate measures to ensure such companies protect your
information adequately in accordance with this Privacy Policy and
other data protection laws to govern the transfers of such data.
Security Measures
We have implemented technical, physical, and organizational
security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and/or
alteration of your information. These safeguards vary based on the
sensitivity of the information that we collect and store. However,
we cannot and do not guarantee that these measures will prevent
every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose your
information since despite our efforts, no Internet and/or other
electronic transmissions can be completely secure.
Children
The Services are intended for users over the age of 18 and are not
directed at children under the age of 13. If we become aware that
we have collected personal information (as defined by the

children under the age of 16, we will take reasonable steps to
delete it as soon as practicable.

as we are legally required or permitted to do so. Information may
persist in copies made for backup and business continuity purposes
for additional time.

The Services may contain links to third-party websites (e.g.,
social media sites like Facebook and Twitter), third-party
plug-ins (e.g., the Facebook “like” button and Twitter “follow”
button), and other services. If you choose to use these sites or
features, you may disclose your information not just to those
third-parties, but also to their users and the public more
generally depending on how their services function. Creative
Commons is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of
such third party websites or services. The collection, use and
disclosure of your information will be subject to the privacy
policies of the third party websites or services, and not this
Privacy Policy. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of
