Stacker® Media Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 20, 2026

Thank you for using Stacker Media. We are committed to protecting your privacy and, for that reason, we have adopted this Privacy Policy to explain our data collection, use, and disclosure practices for the Stacker Media services (including the stacker.com website, and mobile and web-based applications, and any other tools, products, or services provided by Stacker Media that link to or reference this Privacy Policy) (collectively, the “Services”). The Services are owned and operated by Stacker Media, Inc., a New Jersey Corporation (“Stacker Media”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

If you reside in the Commonwealth of Virginia or the State of Colorado, please click here to learn more about your privacy rights. To the extent that there is a conflict between this Privacy Policy and the Privacy Notice for Covered Residents, the Privacy Notice for Covered Consumers will prevail with respect to Covered Consumers (as defined below) only.

This Privacy Policy applies to information Stacker Media collects through the Services, as well as other information provided to us online or offline by third parties, when we associate that information with customers or users of the Services; however, it does not apply to information collected from our employees, contractors, or vendors. It also does not apply to information that you ask us to share with third parties or that is collected by certain other third parties whose software or services are featured or included in the Services (as further described below).

This Privacy Policy describes, among other things:

  • Personal and other information we collect about you;
  • How we use your information;
  • How we may share your information with third parties; and
  • Your choices regarding the personal information we collect about you.

1. Consent

By accessing or using the Services, you consent to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the Services. Information gathered through the Services may be transferred, used, and stored in the United States or in other countries where our service providers or we are located. If you use the Services, you agree to the transfer, use, and storage of your Personal Information (as defined below) in those countries. The data protection and other laws of the United States and other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country. You agree that all transactions relating to the Services or Stacker Media are deemed to occur in the United States, where our servers are located.

2. Collection of Your Personal and Other Information

When you register for or use our Services, we collect Personal Information. By “Personal Information” we mean information that can identify or reasonably be linked to an individual, such as:

  • Names;
  • Personal or business addresses;
  • Location based on your IP address;
  • Social media profiles;
  • Phone numbers;
  • Email addresses; and
  • Information contained in any communication, image, photograph or profile you submit to us.

You may choose not to provide Personal Information, (subject to the controls offered by your mobile device’s operating system), but this may prevent you from receiving certain features of the Services.

We also collect non-Personal Information relating to the Services, that is, information that does not personally identify an individual (“Non-Personal Information”). The non-Personal Information we collect includes how you interact with the Services, information generally collected or “logged” by Internet websites or Internet services when accessed or used by users, and information about your web browser or device accessing or using the Services.

Examples of the non-Personal Information we collect are:

  • The pages of our website that you viewed during a visit;
  • What information, content or advertisements you view or interact with using the Services;
  • Language preferences;
  • The city and state in which you are located (but not your precise geographic location); and
  • Unique identifiers that are not connected and cannot reasonably be connected to your identity.

We may link information related to your activity on our website, advertising interactions, and location derived from your IP address to other information about you, and if we associate any non-Personal Information with information that personally identifies you, then we will treat it as Personal Information. As discussed in more detail below, we sometimes use cookies and other automatic information gathering technologies to gather Personal Information and non-Personal Information.

Information collected by the Services may be collected by us or one of the third parties we utilize in providing the Services (as further described below).

3. Use of Your Information

We may use the information we collect to:

  • Assist us in providing, maintaining, and protecting the Services;
  • Set up, maintain, and protect accounts to use the Services;
  • Improve our online operations;
  • Process transactions;
  • Provide customer service;
  • Communicate with you, such as provide you with account- or transaction-related communications, or other newsletters, RSS feeds, and/or other communications relating to the Services;
  • Marketing and advertising, including targeted advertising;
  • Send or display offers and other content that is customized to your interests or preferences;
  • Prevent fraud and other misuse;
  • Perform research and analysis aimed at improving our products and services and developing new products or services;
  • Manage and maintain the systems that provide the Services; and
  • Comply with our legal obligations and exercise our legal rights.

4. Disclosure of Your Information

We may disclose your Personal Information to third parties as described below.

We may disclose Personal Information to provide the Services, or when you authorize or instruct us to do so, for example, when you use the Services to submit content or profile information. We may also disclose Personal Information and non-Personal Information to Service Providers. By “Service Providers” we mean companies, agents, contractors, service providers, or others engaged to perform functions on our behalf (such as processing of payments, provision of data storage, hosting of our website, marketing of our products and services, and conducting audits). When we use a Service Provider, we require that the Service Provider use and disclose the Personal Information received from us only to provide their services to us or as required by applicable law.

We may also disclose Personal Information and non-Personal Information to Online Tool Providers. By “Online Tool Provider” we mean a licensor of software that we include in, or use with, the Services, including an API or SDK, that provides a specialized function or service to us and that requires the transmission of Personal Information and/or non-Personal Information to the Online Tool Provider. Online Tool Providers may have the right to use Personal Information and non-Personal Information about you for their own business purposes. Use and disclosure of Personal Information and non-Personal Information by an Online Tool Provider is described in its privacy policy. See Section 5 below for some of the key Online Tool Providers we use.

We may also disclose your Personal Information to third parties when we believe, in good faith and in our sole discretion, that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) enforce or apply the terms and conditions of the Services, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (b) comply with legal or regulatory requirements or an enforceable governmental request, (c) protect the rights, property or safety of us, our users or other third parties, (d) submit insurance claims, cooperate with insurance investigations, and fulfil insurance subrogation activities, (e) prevent a crime or protect national security, or (f) detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.

Finally, we reserve the right to transfer information (including your Personal Information) to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of our company relating to the Services, or in the unlikely event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, or receivership of our business. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of such transfer, for example, via email or by posting notice on our website.

Lastly, we may also disclose non-Personal Information, aggregated with information about our other users, to our clients, business partners, merchants, advertisers, investors, potential buyers and other third parties if we deem such disclosure, in our sole discretion, to have sound business reasons or justifications.

5. Cookies and Automatic Information Gathering Technologies

Every time you use the Services (e.g., access a Service webpage, or navigate to a specific location within the Service mobile app), we collect Personal Information and non-Personal Information (discussed above in Section 2) regarding that use. For example, to improve our Services, we collect how, when, and which parts of the Services or their features you use, which social media platforms you connect to the Services, and when, how, and what you post to the social media platforms through the Service app. Also, we may use your device’s unique identifier (UDID) or other unique identifiers to assist us in collecting and analyzing this data.

To assist us in collecting and storing this non-Personal Information, we may employ a variety of technologies, including “Cookies,” local browser storage, and “web beacons,” “pixels,” or “tags.” A “Cookie” is a small amount of data a website operator, or a third party whose content is embedded in that website, may store in your web browser and that the website operator or, as applicable, the third party, can access when you visit the website. A web beacon, pixel or tag is a small, usually-transparent image placed on a web page that allows the operator of that image, which may be the operator of the website you visit or a third party, to read or write a Cookie.

Your operating system and web browser may allow you to erase information stored in Cookies and local browser storage. But if you do so, you may be forced to login to the Services again, and you may lose some preferences or settings. You may also be able to set your browser to refuse all website storage or to indicate when it is permitted, but some features of our Services may not function properly without it. We may use Cookies to keep you logged in, save your preferences for the Services, and to collect information about how you use our Services.

More information about managing Cookies is available here. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for your local browser storage, please refer to the end user documentation for your browser.

An Online Tool Provider may collect information automatically, in which case Personal Information and non-Personal Information it receives are subject to the Online Tool Provider’s privacy policy. Some Online Tool Providers may allow you to opt out of certain collection and/or uses of your information. You can read more here:

  • Google Analytics
  • Google Tag Manager
  • Google Ads
  • Freestar
  • HubSpot Analytics
  • Elvex
  • OneTag
  • LinkedIn Ads

6. Transparency and Choice; Do Not Track Signals

You may request access to your Personal Information by sending an email to privacy@stacker.com. We will try to locate and provide you with your Personal Information and give you the opportunity to correct this data, if it is inaccurate, or to delete it, at your request. But, in either case, we may need to retain it for legal reasons or for legitimate business purposes. You may also remove any content that you post to the Services using the deletion or removal options within the Services. However, we (and you) are not able to control information that you have already shared with other users or made available to third parties through the Services.

If you need further assistance with removing any content you posted through the Services, you can email us at privacy@stacker.com. Removal of your posted content may not ensure complete or comprehensive removal from our computer systems.

We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected, or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backups), or relate to information that is not associated with your Personal Information. In any case, where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort. We may also require you to verify your identity to our satisfaction before providing you with access to Personal Information.

Please be aware that if you request us to delete your Personal Information, you may not be able to continue to use the Services. Also, even if you request that we delete your Personal Information, we may need to retain certain information for a limited period of time to satisfy our legal, audit and/or dispute resolution requirements.

We may use third-party service providers that collect information for interest-based advertising purposes (advertisements that are tailored to your likely interests, based on categories in which you have shown an interest). To learn more about these third parties and the choices they offer users, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s choices page or the Digital Advertising Alliance’s choices page. If you are reading this Privacy Policy from a mobile device, you can learn more about the DAA's mobile choices program here.

We honor the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), which is a browser extension that automatically indicates a consumer’s opt-out preferences. We also support the development and implementation of other standardized "do not track," universal opt-out mechanism, or similar browser features that provide customers with control over the collection and use of information about their web-browsing activities. Once other standardized "do not track" features are widely recognized, we intend to adhere to those features accordingly.]

You can opt out of receiving marketing e-mails from us by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in the e-mails. Please note that it may take up to ten (10) business days for your opt-out request to be processed. Also, even if you opt out of marketing e-mails, we may continue to send you certain account-related e-mails, such as notices about your account and confirmations of transactions you have requested.

7. Certain State Residents

You may have heard of the various state data privacy laws currently in effect in the United States that provide rights to state residents in connection with Personal Information. Our Services are currently only subject to the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) which provide certain rights to Colorado and Virginia residents in connection with their Personal Information. However, we do provide notice and transparency about our collection and use of Personal Information as described in Privacy Policy.]

8. Residents of Canada

You have the right to ask for access to your own personal information in our control. You also have the right to challenge the accuracy and completeness of your personal information, to amend it as appropriate, to delete it, or change how we use it subject to a limited number of exceptions prescribed by law.

We will respond to any requests within 30 days of receipt and authentication of your identity, or provide written notice where additional time is required to fulfill the request.

In some situations, we may decline to process requests if required by law. This may be the case where, for example, a request relates to information that is not associated with your personal information. If we are unable to fulfil your request, we will notify you in writing explaining why we are unable to do so and provide you with any further recourse available to you. In any case, where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort.

We will only keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the relevant purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and in order to comply with any applicable legal obligations. However, we may be obliged to keep your personal information for a longer period, for example, where required by our legal and regulatory obligations. In such cases, we will ensure that your personal information will continue to be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

As noted in this Privacy Policy, information gathered through the Services may be transferred, processed, used, and stored in Canada, the United States, or in other countries where our service providers may be located. Please note personal information stored in other countries may also be subject to disclosure to authorized officials of governments or law enforcement of such other country, pursuant to the laws of such country.

You may withdraw your consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information at any time, subject to legal and/or contractual restrictions and by providing us with reasonable notice, but please note this may prevent you from using the Services.

If you have an objection to the use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy, you may file a complaint by sending an email to privacy@stacker.com. We will attempt to accommodate your objection or complaint, but you understand that, to the extent you object to our processing of personal information that is necessary for us to provide the Services to you, certain features and functionalities of the Services may no longer be available to you.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy prejudices your rights to file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, and/or with any other applicable data protection authorities.

9. Residents of Nevada

We do not sell your Personal Information. However, you may contact us at privacy@stacker.com with questions.

10. Children

The Services are not intended for users under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from users under 18 years of age. We do not authorize users under 18 years of age to use the Services.

11. Information Security

We utilize reasonable information security measures to safeguard your Personal Information against unauthorized access, modification, or destruction. For example, we utilize Transport Layer Security (TLS), or similar encryption technology, when sensitive data is transmitted over the Internet, and use firewalls to help prevent external access into our network. However, no data transmission over the Internet and no method of data storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its security.

We restrict access to Personal Information in our possession to our employees, Service Providers, and Online Tool Providers who need to know that information in order to operate, develop, improve or support our Services.

12. Third Party Websites

Please note that the Services may link or integrate with third-party sites, services or apps. We are not responsible for the privacy or security policies or practices or the content of such third parties. Accordingly, we encourage you to review the privacy and security policies and terms of service of those third parties so that you understand how they collect, use, share and protect your information.

You can always check the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document to see when the Privacy Policy was last changed. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by reasonable means, which may be by e-mail or posting a notice of the changes on our website prior to the changes becoming effective.
