Privacy Policy

What information does Indi collect from you? In order to better provide you with the services offered on the Indi Site, Indi collects two types of information about its visitors: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Personally Identifiable Information -This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are. Personal information is requested in many ways, for example, when you register and set up an account, post on the Indi Site and Apps, utilize a feature or service, apply for a credit card, fill out surveys, and send us feedback. For example, this information might include your name, billing address, shipping address, Face Book ID, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card or other payment information, and product details. With this information, Indi can better provide you with personalized services. For some third party services, we may collect your personal information on behalf of these service providers and share it with them. Non-Personally Identifiable Information - This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based upon where you visit on, and how you use, our Site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. For example, this information may include gender, geographic location, genres, categories and channels you interact with, the Web site's Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, cookies, device information, your Internet Protocol ("IP") address and NPII third party information passed to us from your third party registration on Indi (e.g., from Face Book login). On an aggregated basis, we collect anonymous data related to the pages, posts, communications, products, features, uploads, downloads and other content that is sampled, clicked on, streamed, searched for, transferred, uploaded and downloaded. When content on Indi is shared into social media, that content may be tagged and tracked in social media the social media site may pass back certain information such as likes, shares, comments and other interactions that such content receives within the social media network. Except as otherwise limited in this Privacy Policy, we may disclose, share, sell, trade, or rent Non-Personally Identifiable Information to others without your consent.

Where do we collect information from you and how do we use it? Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide Indi's visitors with a superior customized experience. We use the customer contact information in many ways, including without limitation to communicate with customers, to inform them of their status, to send promotional information, and to enhance the operation of our Site and Apps and administer our systems. Demographic data also may be collected at our Site and Apps from third party log-in services, advertising servers, content servers, or web site analysis agents who provide us with the zip code and area code associated with a visitor's server, along with pages viewed on our Site and/or Apps. We review the actions of the Indi visitors on to determine customers' preferences. Indi also does research on our visitors' demographics, postings, interests, and pages viewed based on the information provided to us during content uploading, challenges, posting comments and reviews, a promotion, from our server log files, from our Site and Apps analysis agents, or from challenges, drawings, postings or surveys. We will use this data to tailor the visitor's experience at our Site and Apps, to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to statistically analyze Site and App use, to improve our product and services offerings, and to customize our Site's and Apps’ content, layout, and services. We receive reports from third party ad servers, content servers, or web site and app analysis agents that tells us how many ads were presented and clicked upon or what content was served or viewed. We may also share your personally identifiable information with third parties who provide services to us, our customers and web site visitors.
