Privacy Policy
Last Updated June 29, 2026
Introduction
The Einstein Challenge, along with our affiliated companies, brings content to you through our Website and email delivery. As a marketing and data company, we also help advertisers reach targeted audiences using information we collect about consumers. Our advertising services span online platforms, in-app environments, email, phone-based marketing, and additional channels. The data we collect about individuals may be shared with third parties and sold as part of our business operations. We additionally provide cross-context behavioral advertising, which means we track and use your behavior across different websites and apps to deliver relevant ads.
The personal information we collect when you visit The Einstein Challenge—including information you actively provide and information we gather about you—is addressed in this privacy policy. We describe our collection, use, storage, and disclosure practices here. Please refer to our terms of service for more information about our website.
Carefully review this policy to understand our personal information policies and practices. If you object to our policies and practices, you should not use our website or subscribe to our email list. By accessing this website, using our services, or otherwise interacting with what we offer, you accept and agree to this privacy policy.
What This Policy Covers And Third-Party Links:
This Privacy Policy applies exclusively to the personal information you provide to The Einstein Challenge. It does not extend to information collected, processed, or stored by any other website or entity, including those linked from our website or newsletters. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any websites you access through links from The Einstein Challenge.
How Your Personal Information Is Collected:
This website gathers information you submit directly, including your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any information provided via an inquiry form. The information collected may be supplemented with data obtained from affiliates, data brokers, and marketing or advertising partners. Some of these third parties are organizations that have obtained your personal information from their own services. Information is also automatically collected using cookies and other tracking technologies to support analytics and advertising activities. See below for more information.
What Data Do We Collect?
“Personal information” refers to any information, in any format or system, that is created, collected, maintained, or transmitted as part of the Company’s business and that can reasonably be linked to an individual or household.
When you subscribe to the The Einstein Challenge, you provide personal information such as your name, date of birth, street address, e-mail address, and phone number. We also automatically collect other information using cookies and similar technologies, including IP address, imprecise geolocation (inferred from your IP address), device ID, timestamps, browsing behavior, and click-through activity. We may also obtain advertising-related information from data brokers or publicly available databases, including demographic characteristics, interests, past locations, or purchase history. See “Your Privacy Rights” below to learn more about how to exercise your rights.
During the preceding twelve (12) months, we have collected personal information as defined under California law, including identifiers; personal information categories described in Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e); protected classification characteristics under California or federal law; internet or other similar network activity; commercial information; professional or employment-related information; imprecise geolocation data; and inferences drawn from other personal information. We may sell or share information collected through this site with third parties and affiliated companies for marketing and advertising purposes. To opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information at any time please visit here or call 877-711-1630.
Collection and Use of Sensitive Data
Sensitive Personal Information—such as details concerning race, ethnicity, religion, precise location, LGBTQ+ status, health data, financial accounts, or citizenship—is not directly collected by us. Nonetheless, through automated collection technologies like cookies, we may obtain information about your interactions with online content that could indicate interest in sensitive topics or membership in a sensitive group. For example, accessing pages focused on health conditions or particular communities may imply such interests. We do not generate these inferences ourselves; they may instead be made by our affiliated companies or other third parties receiving personal information. Where consent is required under applicable law, sensitive inferences will not be made. We do not collect or use personal information relating to children under the age of 18.
What We Do With Your Data
We use the personal information we collect from and about you to send you newsletters or other content that you sign up for and to send you marketing messages by email or by other means. We also share the personal information we collect with our affiliates and third-party companies who may also send you marketing messages by different means. You can opt out at any time by clicking here. Our use of your personal information is called “cross context behavioral advertising” under some states’ laws.
Sharing Personal Information
We sell and/or share your personal information with our affiliates and partners for marketing purposes, including cross context behavioral advertising. We also share this information with companies who provide services for us, including services related to cross context behavioral advertising, analytics, fraud detection, web hosting, data security, or similar services. We contract with any third parties who have access to the personal information we share to ensure that they use appropriate information security measures and comply with laws. We may also share personal information if required by law (e.g. in response to a subpoena or court order), or to protect a person’s health or safety.
We may share personal information when required to do so by law, including with law enforcement agencies, regulators, courts, government authorities, or other third parties, to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, protect the rights, safety, or security of individuals, or enforce our terms of use and related agreements, including billing and collection matters. Personal information may also be disclosed in connection with a corporate transaction, such as a merger, sale, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy, or similar event, where user information is transferred as part of the business assets.
We may share personal information with third parties when you have agreed to such sharing, including for purposes explained to you at the time you submit the information or described in this privacy policy.
Targeted Ads, Analytics, and Data Sharing
Personal information collected at and through this website is shared with unaffiliated companies in order to show you advertisements on this or other sites, and for analysis and reporting related to those ads. These companies (some of whom may be considered data brokers under applicable laws) use cookies and similar technologies to collect information from your browser about web pages you view and ads that you view or click on. We (or they) may combine this personal information with personal information from other sources (including data brokers) and/or share it with third parties for marketing and advertising purposes (this is also known as “cross-context behavioral advertising” under some laws). We (and some of the third parties described in this section) collect your IP address, date and time of your visit to the website and of some of the actions you took here, your Internet Service Provider (ISP), and the browser type and version you use to visit. This information may be combined with personal information from other sources (including data brokers) as described above and used to display advertisements from us or from others through email, social media, websites, apps, direct mail, or by other channels. We also use personal information to understand user activity at this site in order to improve the user experience.
