Email and Text Messages. If you no longer want to receive certain communications from us via email or text message, please access the “Notification settings” option for the relevant profile within the “Account” of our website. Alternatively, click the “unsubscribe” link in the email or reply STOP (or as otherwise instructed) to the text message (note: you may receive a confirmation text message in this case). Please note that you cannot unsubscribe from transactional messages from us, such as messages relating to your account transactions.

Matched Identifier Communications from Movflx. Some third party services allow us to reach users with online marketing about Movflx content or the Movflx service by sending privacy protected contact information to the third party.

The third party compares Movflx’s privacy protected contact information with privacy protected contact information in its own database and there will be a match only if you have used the same contact information with Movflx and the third party. If there is a match, Movflx can then choose whether or not to send Movflx marketing to you on that third party service, and can optimize and better measure the effectiveness of such marketing. You can indicate your choices in the “Privacy and data settings” (for the relevant profile) within the “Account” of our website.

D: Cookies and Internet Advertising
Use of Cookies
We, our Service Providers, Movflx Marketing Providers, and Advertising Companies use cookies, other similar technologies (such as pixel tags), and resettable device identifiers for various reasons. This explains the types of technologies used, what they do, and your corresponding choices. To choose whether or not to receive cookies and similar technologies, please see the below “How can I exercise choice regarding these technologies?”
Cookies and Similar Technologies, Pixel Tags, and Resettable Device Identifiers
Cookies are small data files that are commonly stored on your device when you access websites and online services. The text in a cookie contains a string of numbers and letters that may uniquely identify a device and can contain other information as well. This allows the web server to recognize your browser each time it connects to that web server.
We use other technologies such as browser storage and plugins (for example, HTML5, IndexedDB, and WebSQL). Like cookies, these other technologies may store small amounts of data on a device. Pixel tags often work in conjunction with cookies. In many cases, declining cookies will impair the effectiveness of pixel tags associated with those cookies.
If you use a Movflx app (such as the main Movflx app, or a Movflx game app) on a mobile device, tablet, or streaming media device, we may collect a resettable device identifier from your device. Resettable device identifiers can be used like cookies and are found on many mobile devices and tablets (for example, the “Identifier for Advertisers” on Apple iOS devices and the “Google Advertising ID” on Android devices), and certain streaming media devices. Like cookies, resettable device identifiers are used to make online advertising more relevant, and for analytics and optimization purposes
Why Does Movflx Use These Technologies?
We use these types of technologies for various reasons, including to provide our service (for example, by making it easy to access our service by remembering you when you return); to administer and operate our business, to research, analyze and improve our services (for example, to improve site performance, monitor visitor traffic and actions on our site, and to test the effectiveness of our user interface); to send marketing and informational messages (for example, to deliver and tailor our marketing, and to understand interactions with our emails, marketing, and marketing on third party services); to operate our ad supported subscription plan; for safety, security and fraud prevention; and to comply with law and enforce our Terms of Use. These technologies enable Movflx Marketing Providers to collect personal information (such as the pages you visit and device and network information) when you use our services, and Movflx Marketing Providers may also collect information about your online activities over time across different websites.
We use pixel tags in our emails to understand how members interact with our services. Our use of pixel tags helps us understand when links within messages are clicked, or the emails are opened.
Movflx uses resettable device identifiers to display marketing for our service or Movflx content on third party services, and to operate our ad supported subscription plan (including delivering Advertisements to you).
