Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 1, 2026

Introduction

The Einstein Challenge, together with our affiliated companies, provides content via our Website and email communications. We also operate as a marketing and data company. In this capacity, we collect information that enables advertisers to target specific audience segments through various channels: online advertising, in-app placements, email marketing, telemarketing campaigns, and other promotional channels. Our marketing operations involve the collection, disclosure to third parties, and sale of individual consumer information, and we deliver advertising services that track consumer behavior across different websites and apps to serve targeted ads.

Each version maintains the key compliance elements (data collection, sharing, selling, cross-context behavioral advertising, and multiple advertising channels) while varying the tone and structure.

When you visit The Einstein Challenge, we collect personal information from you, and you may also provide information to us. This privacy policy addresses that information and explains our practices for its collection, use, maintenance, and disclosure. Our terms of service contain additional information about our website.

Read this policy carefully—it explains our policies and practices for your personal information. Don’t agree? Then please don’t use our website or sign up for our emails. Using this website or interacting with our other services means you accept this privacy policy.

Applicability And Third-Party Websites And Services:

We safeguard the personal information you entrust to The Einstein Challenge. We cannot and do not control the handling of your data by other websites or entities. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any websites you access through links from The Einstein Challenge.

Sources And Methods Of Personal Information Collection:

We collect information at this website that you choose to provide, including your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any information you submit through an inquiry form. We may supplement the data you provide with additional data obtained from third parties, such as affiliates and marketing or advertising partners, as well as other third-party data providers. In some cases, these providers are entities that have obtained your personal information from their own services. We also automatically collect some information using cookies and other tracking technologies to perform analytics on our website and to facilitate advertising. See below for more information.

Categories of Data We Collect:

“Personal information” refers to all data or information, regardless of format, processed in the course of the Company’s operations that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with a particular consumer or household, whether directly or indirectly.

You may be required to submit personal information when registering or subscribing to the The Einstein Challenge, including your name, date of birth, street address, e-mail address, and phone number. Additional information is collected automatically via cookies and similar technologies, such as IP address, imprecise geolocation (inferred from your IP address), device ID, date and time of access, browsing patterns, and click activity. We may also obtain advertising-related information from data brokers or public databases, including interests, demographic attributes, prior locations, or purchase history. Certain limited categories of sensitive personal information may also be collected. More information about your rights appears below. “Your Privacy Rights” below.

California law requires us to disclose the types of information we have collected in the last year. The data we have collected includes identifiers (like your name, online usernames, email, or other similar unique identifiers); the personal information categories listed in Cal. Civ. Code Section 1798.80(e)) (the California Customer Records Statute) such as information that can be associated with someone in particular but isn’t available through public records; characteristics that are protected under California or U.S. federal law, like gender or race; internet or network activity, such as your browsing history; commercial information, including past purchases; professional or employment-related information, like your resume or current job; imprecise geolocation data; and inferences we can make from other personal information.

We may sell or share the information we collect with third parties and affiliates for marketing and advertising purposes. You have the right to opt out of these uses at any time by visiting here or by calling 877-711-1630.

Sensitive Data and Privacy Protections

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.

How We Use Your Data

The information we collect about you is used to ensure that your requested newsletters will land in your inbox. We will also provide content or marketing messages through email or by other channels. We also share personal information with trusted partners who may send you relevant marketing messages (but you can easily opt-out here). These uses of data might be considered cross context behavioral advertising in some cases.

Personal Information Sharing

We sell or share personal information with our affiliates and with partner companies to be used for marketing purposes, including cross context behavioral advertising. We also enable access to personal information for companies who perform services for us, including services related to cross context behavioral advertising, analytics, advertising fraud detection, information security, web hosting, or similar services. We contract with third parties who have access to personal information to ensure that they use appropriate data security and comply with laws. We may also share personal information where required by law (for instance if we receive a subpoena or court order), or to protect any person’s health or safety.

Personal information may be disclosed to law enforcement, regulatory bodies, courts, government entities, or other third parties where necessary to comply with applicable laws, court orders, or legal processes, to respond to governmental or regulatory inquiries, to protect individuals’ rights or safety, or to enforce our contractual rights, including payment and collection obligations. We may also disclose personal information to a successor entity or purchaser in the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, liquidation, or other transfer of assets involving our business.

Personal information may be disclosed to third parties for purposes you have approved, whether those purposes are communicated when you provide the information or outlined elsewhere in this privacy policy.

Personalized Advertising, Data Sharing, and Analytics

This website shares personal information with third parties who show you advertisements on this or other websites and also perform analytics and reporting about the performance of those advertisements. These companies (which may include data brokers) collect information about the websites you visit and the web pages and advertisements you view or interact with, and may combine this with personal information from other sources or share it with other third parties (this is also known as “cross-context behavioral advertising”). We (or our partners) collect your IP address, date and time of interaction, your Internet Service Provider (ISP), and the browser type and version you use to visit this website. This information may be combined with other personal information and used to deliver advertising from us or from other companies through email, on apps or websites, or through social media sites. We also use personal information to analyze interactions with this site and the advertisements we display so we can continue to improve them.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and other similar technologies to: (1) operate this site, (2) perform analytics and tracking to understand and continuously improve the user experience, (3) select and deliver personalized content and advertisements, and (4) monitor your response to advertisements and other communications. Cookies are small computer files containing a unique ID that our server sends to your browser. Cookies enable us to recognize your browser when you visit this or certain other websites. We do not track every site you view on the Internet. You can limit, block, or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. If you use a browser-based “do not track” setting, this may result in an “opt-out cookie” to be set on your browser, which blocks additional data collection. If you later delete this opt-out cookie, automated data collection may resume.

To support Website functionality and analytics, we rely on automated data collection technologies such as cookies, Flash cookies, and web beacons. Cookies are small files stored on your device that allow our Website to operate efficiently. You may block cookies through your browser settings, although this may limit your ability to access certain Website features.

Some Website functions also rely on Flash cookies, which store information related to user preferences and navigation. These cookies are managed through Adobe Flash settings rather than browser controls.

Additionally, our Website and communications may include web beacons or pixels that help us understand how users interact with content, track email engagement, ensure system integrity, and gather Website performance data.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control Setting

Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signals and other universal opt-out preference signals are recognized by us as valid requests to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. When detected, we will automatically opt you out without requiring additional steps from you. Tracking every site you visit on the internet is not our intent. As noted above, you may block or delete cookies using your browser’s cookie settings. If you choose to opt out or activate a “Do Not Track” signal, including GPC, an opt-out cookie will be set on your browser to restrict certain cookie-based data collection. Removing that cookie or changing your GPC settings may cause automated collection to restart.”

For the FTC: ReportFraud.ftc.gov or go to ftc.gov/complaint. You can also go directly to the Better Business Bureau complaint portal at bbb.org/file-a-complaint.

For security reasons, we cannot respond to requests unless we can reasonably verify the requester’s identity or authority. A request must contain sufficient information to confirm who is making the request and enough detail for us to understand and respond to it. Requests may be submitted without creating an account, and information provided will be used exclusively for verification and request processing. We respond to verifiable requests within 45 days of the date we receive them. If an extension is necessary, we will notify you in writing within the initial 45-day period, identifying the reason and the duration of the extension, which shall not exceed 45 additional days.

If a request is denied in accordance with legal requirements and you would like to appeal, or if you have additional privacy-related inquiries, you may contact us using the information below. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may also have the right to raise concerns with a local privacy authority. Exercising your data rights will not result in discrimination.
