Privacy Policy

IAC Inc. (“IAC” or “we” or “us”) cares about your privacy. When you use IAC.com (the “Site”) we may collect personal information about you. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who else may receive it, and the tracking technologies we use. If we make any changes to our privacy practices, we will post a revised Privacy Policy on this page. Any revised policy will apply as of the effective date listed at the top of the Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to websites operated by IAC’s Brands. Each IAC Brand uses a different privacy policy, and you should review each brand’s privacy policy for more details.

1. PERSONAL INFORMATION YOU SUBMIT

You may choose to send us business communications through the email addresses listed on the Site. Such email addresses are provided solely for business communications. We may use emails that you send to us for any business purpose, including communicating with you, and we may disclose such correspondence with our affiliates and other parties that may have a business interest in such communications. We do not sell your personal information to others.

You may choose to apply for a position at IAC or one of our brands. If you do, your personal information may be submitted through a career portal operated by our vendor and will be given to us. When you submit personal information to someone else, you are subject to their terms of use and privacy policies, for which we are not responsible. We may further share your job application with any of our brands that might have a relevant position for you. We (and our brands) will only use the personal information in your job application for employment-related purposes.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT AUTOMATICALLY

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect and store information about your computer or mobile device and your activities using tracking technologies, such as cookies – small text files placed on your device to recognize your device and provide information about your use of the Site.

We may use this information for internal purposes related to the operation of the Site, including website optimization, and we may disclose aggregated or anonymized Site visitor data to others.

Third-party tracking technologies, including cookies, may also be used on our Site to collect data. For example, we use Google Analytics cookies to track your activities to help us understand how the Site is being used. For more information on how Google Analytics uses data collected through the Site, visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners.

We may disclose your information to third parties in response to a legally binding request, such as a subpoena, court order, or government demand; to detect, investigate, or report illegal activity; to cooperate with public authority investigations; or to enforce our rights or those of others or to defend claims. We may also transfer your information to another party if we or any of our brands are involved in a corporate restructuring, such as a sale or merger.

6. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY NOTICE

This section describes how IAC collects, uses, and discloses the personal information of California residents who interact with us and our Site. We provide this information as a supplement to our Privacy Policy.

Personal Information We Collect and Why We Collect It
Within the past 12 months, we have collected and continue to collect the following categories of personal information about California residents:

In addition, we may collect, use and disclose your personal information when required by our legal or regulatory compliance obligations, when we are otherwise permitted to process personal information by applicable law, or when directed by you.

Our use of sensitive personal information is only related to performing services reasonably expected by you and on behalf of our business and our brands, including securing, verifying, and improving our Site and other business services. We do not use sensitive personal information to infer any characteristics about you.

Furthermore, we may at times operate as a Service Provider for IAC Brands and Process Personal Information on their behalf. 

Our Disclosure of Personal Information
We may disclose personal information to our service providers to assist with our business needs (as indicated in the chart below). Any personal information may be provided to public authorities and others when required by our legal or regulatory obligations or to comply with legal process. IAC does not knowingly sell or share (as those terms are defined under California’s Consumer Privacy Act) personal information collected from California residents of any age. If our practices change, we will update this notice and provide the required rights to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.

Your Personal Information Rights
If you are a California resident, you have certain rights related to the personal information that we collect and maintain, including the following. IAC will not discriminate or retaliate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Right to Know. You have the right to know what personal information we process about you, including:
• Categories of personal information we collect and our purposes for doing so;
• Categories of sources from which we collect personal information and why;
• Categories of recipients to whom we disclose personal information and why, including a list of categories of personal information disclosed for a business purpose and a list of categories of personal information sold or shared for targeted advertising purposes (if any); and
• Specific pieces of your personal information we have collected.

Right to Delete. You have the right to request that we delete your personal information that we have collected from you and are maintaining.

Right to Correct Personal Information. If you believe that personal information we maintain about you is inaccurate, you have the right to request that we correct your personal information.

How to Exercise Your Privacy Rights and What to Expect
To exercise any of your privacy rights outlined in the preceding section, please email us at [email protected] or write to us using the contact information at the end of this Privacy Policy. You also may use an authorized agent to submit a privacy rights request on your behalf. Your authorized agent may use the same methods to submit your privacy rights request to us.

Whether you submit your request to us directly or through an authorized agent, we will first verify your identity. The information we need to verify your identity may differ depending on the type of request you make and our relationship with you. Please note that if you submit a request to know, request to delete, or request to correct, you may be asked to provide certain personal information that we will match against our personal information we have about you to verify your identity. If you use an authorized agent to submit a request, we may require the authorized agent to provide proof that you authorized the agent to submit your request and, depending on your request, we also may require that you verify your identity directly with us. In some cases, we may engage a service provider to perform identity verification services for us.

You can generally expect that we will respond to your privacy rights request within 45 days, unless we reach out to explain that it will take us longer. If we cannot fulfill your privacy rights request, in whole or in part, we will explain why.

Personal Information Retention
We keep the personal information described for as long as necessary or permitted for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or otherwise authorized by law. This generally means retaining personal information for as long as at least one of the following is applicable:

• Your personal information is reasonably necessary to manage your relationship with us or to satisfy another purpose for which we collected the information (or that is connected to that purpose), which purpose was disclosed to you at the time of collection.
• The personal information is reasonably necessary to protect or defend our rights or property, or those of another.
• We have your permission to use the personal information, and you have not withdrawn your permission.
• We are required to keep your personal information to comply with applicable laws or regulations.

Where personal information is used for more than one purpose, we will retain it until the purpose with the latest period expires. For more information about our retention policies, please contact us using the contact details at the end of this Privacy Policy.
