This Privacy Policy covers all of the sites on the These Times Need Rhymes platform (“TTNR”), which is created and owned by These Times Need Rhymes, LLC (“TTNR,” “us” or “we”). The Privacy Policy governs your access to and use of the services, websites, and applications offered through TTNR (the “Services”). Please read this statement carefully before using or proceeding to access TTNR. Your use of TTNR indicates that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and indicates your agreement to access the site in full knowledge of it.
1. Information Collection
TTNR, LLC collects limited information from our users on TTNR.
- Mailing Lists & Service Emails – TTNR, LLC has launched a mailing list in order to provide subscribers with relevant information or content – the Daily Rhyme, breaking news, or weekly or daily round-ups, for example. In order to sign up to receive regular emails from a site’s mailing list, users must submit information including a name, which may be a pseudonym, and a valid email address. This information is used only to deliver TTNR content and will not be shared with any other parties. We do not collect cookies or any other information from our users. TTNR, LLC may from time to time track how users interact with the emails we send in a continued effort to improve our services. Users who choose to sign up for a mailing list may receive regular emails from the site, consisting of content from the site in question.
- Comment Service and Account Information – In order to further enhance the user experience, TTNR, LLC allows users to comment on some of TTNR sites – specifically on Facebook and Twitter – enabling users to discuss and contribute to topics posted to those sites. Users are subject to the user agreements of those other online platforms when engaging with TTNR content while on them, and TTNR, LLC has no ability to control that user-generated content.
- Links – TTNR contains links to other sites and affiliate marketing links encoded by third parties. Such third parties do not collect any personally identifiable information unless you visit the referenced site. TTNR, LLC is not responsible for access to, use or disclosure of user information to third parties provided by a user clicking or otherwise actuating links on TTNR. Please be aware that TTNR, LLC is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by us through TTNR.
- We do not collect, process, record or maintain your credit card, bank account or payment information. We are not responsible for any fulfillment of product or services that you purchase from affiliate marketing merchants or any issues relating to such product(s), services, or customer service.
- Embedded Content — You should also be aware that some content delivered through TTNR originates with another content provider. Such other content providers may place “cookies” on your computer, or otherwise gather information about you, including by asking you to provide information to the content provider itself, for example, through the use of a content player. Again, it is up to you to review the terms of use and privacy policy of the originators of such content.
- Data that we collect may be aggregated, anonymized and shared with our prospective and actual business partners, advertisers, and other third parties for business purposes. Other than email addresses provided at your discretion, we don’t collect any “Personally Identifying Information” about our users (such as name, social security number, telephone number, street address, drivers license number, etc.). However, we may offer you the opportunity to submit other information about yourself (such as gender, age, occupation, hobbies, interests, zip code, etc.), which would then also be covered by this Privacy Policy.
- Log Files – Like most standard website servers we use log files to log certain information about how you use TTNR. This information may be stored on third party servers, and may be used by us or our third party service providers in order to assess general user interest in various internal and third party products and services. We do not, however, collect IP addresses or log IP address information.
- We do not respond to web browser “do not track” or other related mechanisms at this time.
2. Advertising
- Ad Serving – The ads appearing on these websites are delivered to you by a web advertising vendor and/or by TTNR, LLC’s own proprietary advertising delivery software. In order to serve ads to you, we may use information collected during your searches or visits to our websites and information that we specifically acquire from third parties.
- Advertising and Cookies – Some of our third party advertising partners may distribute cookies to users in advertisements that are provided to us. TTNR, LLC has no access to or control over these cookies once we have received the advertisements. Some of these advertisers and services we use to deliver advertising may be engaging in online behavioral advertising as defined by the Digital Advertising Alliance and FTC.
- Affiliate Advertising – We may participate in affiliate advertising and allow affiliate links to be encoded on some of our pages. This means that we may earn a commission when you click on or make purchases via affiliate links and affiliate partners may use cookies to understand your use of the Services.
- We do not provide any Personally Identifiable Information to third-party advertising companies.
- Opt-out – As part of our commitment to transparency and your privacy, we provide the following links to opt-out of cookies provided by both our first party ad server and any third party advertising partners who may be engaging in online behavioral advertising:

3. Business Transitions
In the event TTNR, LLC goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of a portion of its assets, users’ information collected by us will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.
4. Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on TTNR, LLC or affiliates. If we’re going to turn over information related to you, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with advance notice, unless we are prohibited from doing so by law or court order.
5. Information Security
TTNR, LLC has technical, administrative and physical safeguards in place to help protect against unauthorized access to, use or disclosure of user information we maintain. Under our security practices, access to personally identifiable information is authorized only for those who have a business need for such access, and sensitive records are to be retained only as long as necessary for business or legal needs and destroyed before disposal. Although we work hard to protect personal information that we collect and store, no program is one hundred percent secure and we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use or disclose personal information.
6. Notification of Changes
Whenever TTNR, LLC changes its privacy policy, we will post those changes to this Privacy Policy page, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any changes to this agreement.
7. Ownership of Content
TTNR, LLC is the owner of any and all content on TTNR, including content identified by a copyright notice, such as a ©.
