Privacy Policy
Last Updated: April 3, 2025
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how Viewport, along with its parent company, subsidiaries, and affiliated entities (referred to collectively as “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, discloses, processes, and safeguards personal information when you interact with our website, services, and related digital platforms (together, the “Platform”). It also outlines the rights and options available to individuals regarding their personal information.
We may revise this Policy from time to time. If changes are made to how we gather, use, or share your personal data, the updated version will be posted on this page. Where required or appropriate, we may also inform you of significant updates through methods such as email, notices within the Platform, or other communications consistent with applicable legal obligations.
Your continued use of the Platform following any updates signifies your understanding and acceptance of the revised Policy. To remain up to date with our current data handling practices, we encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly.

Managing Marketing Communications
You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link found at the bottom of our marketing emails or by contacting us using the information provided at the end of this Privacy Policy. Please note, however, that you will still receive important service or transactional communications related to your account or use of the Platform.
Cookie and Browser Storage Controls
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies, including blocking or deleting them. You can modify your preferences by checking your browser’s privacy settings. Please be aware that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain Platform features. For additional guidance on managing cookies, you can visit allaboutcookies.org. Similarly, browser settings may offer options to delete data stored in your browser’s local storage.
Google Analytics Settings
We use Google Analytics to gather insights about how users engage with the Platform. To learn more about how Google collects and uses your data, visit this page. If you prefer to opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available here.
Ad Preferences and Targeting Controls
You have options to manage how your information is used for interest-based advertising, including:

- Google Ads: For more information on how Google uses data in advertising, click here. To opt out of Google’s personalized ads, click here.
Please remember that preferences usually need to be set on each individual browser or device you use. Furthermore, because not all ad networks participate in these programs, opting out does not eliminate all personalized advertising. You may still see ads, but they may be less relevant.
Do Not Track (DNT) Requests
Some browsers allow you to send “Do Not Track” signals to websites. Currently, our Platform does not respond to these signals. For more information on DNT settings, visit All About DNT.
Links to Third-Party Websites and Services
Our Platform may include links to external websites or services operated by third parties. Inclusion of such links does not imply endorsement or affiliation with those entities. In some cases, our content may also be accessible through platforms or services we do not control.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or data handling policies of these third parties. Since they operate independently, we encourage you to review their privacy statements to understand how your personal information may be collected and used.
Data Security Measures
We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. These measures are designed in accordance with industry best practices for data protection.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. While we work diligently to protect your personal data, we cannot ensure or warrant absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
Our Platform is not intended for individuals under 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from minors.
International Data Transfers
We are based in the United States and partner with service providers both within the U.S. and abroad. Consequently, your personal information may be collected, processed, or stored in countries outside of your residence, including the United States. These jurisdictions may have data protection laws that differ from those in your home country and may not provide the same level of privacy safeguards.
Where required by applicable law, we will implement appropriate safeguards or obtain your consent before transferring your personal information internationally. By submitting your personal information to us, you acknowledge and, where legally permitted, consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

California Notice of Financial Incentive
We may offer programs, promotions, or features that provide benefits or incentives tied to the collection and use of personal information—such as sweepstakes entries, discounts, or exclusive access to content.
The value of your personal data in these programs is based on factors such as the estimated cost of providing the incentive and your engagement level. Participation is entirely voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time by contacting us using the information provided in this Policy or according to the terms outlined in the applicable offer.
U.S. State Privacy Laws Addendum

This section supplements the broader Privacy Policy by explaining how we collect, use, and disclose personal information for individuals residing in those states, as well as detailing their rights. For the purposes of this section, “personal information” refers to “personal data” or “personal information” as defined by the applicable state privacy laws, excluding any data that is exempt under those statutes.
