PRIVACY POLICY

Your personal privacy is a principal concern to us at Cumulus. Our goal in outlining our policy on the collection and use of your information is to ensure

the highest level of confidentiality and security. When you provide your personal information on any Cumulus Platform, we will not give or sell your

personal information to any outside company for its use in marketing or solicitation without your permission, which may be express or implied. We will

maintain the confidentiality of your personal information and it will be used only to support your customer relationship with our company and to assist us

in providing better and more targeted services to you. Additionally, internal practices are in place to help protect your privacy by limiting employee

access to and use of customer information. When we ask you to provide personal information through the Cumulus Platform, it is done with the goal of

improving the relationship between you and Cumulus. At Cumulus, we allow you to maintain control over your personal information while attempting to provide

a more interactive experience. Our intention is to send communications only those of you who have chosen to receive such communications. At any time, you

have the right to decline receiving future communications from Cumulus in any manner, including email, text, social media, fax, telephone and postal mail.

INFORMATION COLLECTED THROUGH THE CUMULUS PLATFORMS

When you utilize any Cumulus Platform, you do so anonymously. Personal information that could be used to identify you as an individual is not automatically

collected. However, there are several ways in which information about you may be collected through the Cumulus Platform.

Voluntary Disclosure: Some Cumulus Platforms may request that you voluntarily provide personal information for purposes such as correspondence, site

registration, membership, making a purchase, or participating in contests or online surveys. Information that we may ask you to provide may include

your name, e‐ mail address, telephone number, mailing address, birth date, and payment information (such as account or credit card number). We

may also request that you provide your preference information, social security numbers, lifestyle interests, and other demographic information that may

be needed to register or subscribe you to services or offers.

Device Identifier: Each time the Cumulus Platform is accessed, we or our service providers automatically collect your IP address or other unique

identifier for the device (computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device) you use to access the Platforms (“Device Identifier”). Cumulus uses Device

Identifiers to analyze trends, administer the site, track movements on the site, help identify you and your shopping cart, and gather broad demographic

information for aggregate use. Device Identifiers are not linked to any other personally identifiable information by Cumulus.

Usage Information: Whenever you access or interact with the Cumulus Platform, we, as well as any third‐party advertisers and/or service

providers, may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect information about how the Cumulus Platform is accessed and used

(“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include device type, operating system, browser type, application version, the page accessed, the date and

time, your use of features or applications, your preceding page views, and your interactions with friends and group activities. This information helps

us maintain a platform that is up‐to‐date and to devise content that is responsive to your interests.

cookies, mobile analytics software and pixel tags to collect Usage Information and Device Identifiers. Cookies are small text files on your system used

for keeping track of settings or data for a particular website and can be used to store information necessary to provide a service or access into a

Platform and your activities on such social networking sites. We, or our vendors and third party partners, may place cookies or similar files on your

Device for security purposes, to facilitate site navigation and to personalize your experience while visiting the Cumulus Platform, such as allowing us

to select the ads or offers that are most likely to appeal to you based on your interests, preferences, location, or demographic information), as well

as for market research related purposes. Any information that we may store in cookies is used for internal purposes only. You may turn cookies off

through your browser or set your browser to notify you before accepting them. You can learn more about cookies by visiting www.allaboutcookies.org

cookies that have already been installed in your browser’s cookie folder. If you elect to disable or opt out of receiving cookies, please understand that

some features and services on the Cumulus Platform may not work properly because we may not be able to recognize and associate you with your Cumulus

HOW WE USE AND DISCLOSE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect only information that is needed, and we tell you how we use it. We limit the collection of information about you to what we need to know to

manage your membership; provide customer service, including responding to your questions and communicating with you about your account and activities on

the Cumulus Platform; make access to certain areas and features of the Cumulus Platform available to you; verify your identity; offer new products and

services; notify you of changes to Cumulus policies; perform market research, analytics and operations; tailor content, advertisements, and offers we make

available to you; improve the Cumulus Platform; fulfill any legal and regulatory requirements; and for purposes disclosed at the time you provide your

Personal Information or otherwise with your consent. Under certain circumstances we may share location data with our third party partners for market

research and other data analytics related purposes. We tell you about the general uses of information we collect about you, and we will provide additional

explanation if requested. You may change, update or add additional information about yourself at any time through the Cumulus Platforms that offer this

feature. If a Cumulus Platform does not currently provide this ability, you can still change your data profile by contacting your local radio station. All

Cumulus Platforms will provide this feature in the near future.

As a result of providing your personal information to us, the Cumulus Platform can provide a more customized experience, making your interaction with us

more productive, helpful and fun, and will enhance the services and

offers that we can bring to you. If you provide us with your e‐mail address or cell phone number, or have done so in the past, we may send you

e‐mail or text offers or newsletters. These offers or newsletters are based on information you provided in your membership application, registration

forms, surveys, or from information that may indicate purchasing preferences and lifestyle, as well as information available from external sources, such as

census bureau data. These e‐mail/text offers will come from Cumulus only. Your information, email address or cell phone number is never sold to a

third party. All offers are carefully developed to guarantee that they meet our standards. Our goal is to target offers that you will find to be of value

to you. At any time, you may request to discontinue receiving these communications from us by simply replying to the e‐mail address or text number

included in every e‐mail/text message that you receive from us.

From time to time, we may offer contests or other promotions on the Cumulus Platform. If you enter a contest or sweepstakes, or participate in a

promotional event, we will ask you to provide information about yourself (such as your name, address, and email address). Among other things, we will need

this information to contact you if you win, and we may also use this information for marketing purposes. We may share this information with any sponsors

and prize providers of the contest, sweepstakes, or promotional event; sponsors and prize providers will be identified in the official rules. We may also

share this information with or other third‐party service providers that help administer our contests, sweepstakes, and promotional events, such as by

conducting drawings, and/or delivering prizes to winners. If you do not want to provide the requested information or have the information provided to

sponsors, prize providers, or other third‐party service providers, please do not enter the contest, sweepstakes, or participate in the promotional

event.

We monitor URL click‐throughs found in our electronic communications. The click‐through rate is reviewed in order to track (i) participation in

contests and sweepstakes to judge effectiveness and award prizes; (ii) your interests and preferences; and/or (iii) response rates for marketing purposes

or to report to a client in aggregate form only, the response of listeners. Individual activity is never shared with employees or third parties.

At times, our clients might collect Personal Information about you on the Cumulus Platform or on‐site at a retail locations or other Cumulus events.

The collection of this information is clearly marked as information being collected by or for a third party, and providing such information is strictly

voluntary. We may help facilitate the collection of the information by providing forms and collection boxes for the client. Sometimes this information is

shared with us Cumulus, though we will only market to you if you have given us permission. Information gathered in this manner is shared with our client

partners; and other information you may have previously provided to us remains private.

We may share your Personal Information with third parties that perform functions on our behalf (or on behalf of our partners) such as service providers

that host or operate the Cumulus Platform, analyze data, process transactions and payments, fulfill orders or provide customer service; advertisers;

sponsors or other third parties that participate in or administer our promotions, surveys or provide marketing or promotional assistance and our partners

in co‐branded sites and promotions. Your Personal Information may also be used by us or shared with our subsidiaries, affiliates, sponsors, partners,

advertisers or other third parties in connection with marketing, promotional, and other offers, as well as product information, and for such third party’s

analytics and market research. The Cumulus Platform may include Nielsen’s proprietary measurement software which may allow you to contribute to market

research. For more information, visit: http://www.nielsen.com/digitalprivacy.

We may share your Personal Information with other entities and our affiliates primarily for business and operational purposes. In the event that we are

involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction.

Additionally, we may transfer and disclose your information to third parties to comply with a legal obligation; when we believe in good faith that the law

or a governmental authority requires it; to verify or enforce our Terms of Use or other applicable policies; to address fraud, security or technical

issues; to respond to an emergency; or otherwise to protect our rights or property or security of third parties, visitors to the Cumulus Platform or the

public.

OTHER DISCLOSURES

Third‐party platforms and services accessible through the Cumulus Platform have separate privacy and information collection practices, independent of

us. Cumulus has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies or actions. You are solely responsible for maintaining your Personal

Information, the secrecy of your passwords, membership ID, or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online. If you

post Personal Information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. While we aim to

protect your personal information, Cumulus cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

While we put forth our best efforts in adhering to these minimum privacy standards, additional restrictions may be imposed to comply with state and local

laws, and/or station‐specific programs, products and services.

INFORMATION WE RECEIVE FROM THIRD PARTIES

We may receive information about you from third parties. For example, if you are on another website and you opt‐ in to receive information from

Cumulus, that website will submit to us your email address and other information about you so that we may contact you as requested. You may also choose to

participate in a third party application or feature (such as one of our Facebook or Twitter applications or a similar application or feature on a third

party website) through which you allow us to collect (or the third party to share) information about you, including Usage Information, Device Identifiers,

and Personal Information such as lists of your friends, “likes”, comments you have shared, groups and location. Services like Facebook Connect give you the

option to post information about your activities on the Cumulus Platform to your profile page to share with others within your network. In addition, we may

receive information about you if other users of a third party website give us access to their profiles and you are one of their “connections” or

information about you is otherwise accessible through your “connections'” web page, profile page, or similar page on a social networking or other third

party website or interactive service. We may also receive information about you from third party data providers. We may supplement the information we

collect about you through the Cumulus Platform with such information from third parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content

to you and/or to offer you opportunities to purchase products or services that we believe may be of interest to you.

SECURITY

Access to your Personal Information is limited to those who specifically need it to conduct their business responsibilities. We use security techniques

designed to protect your Personal Information-especially information that is used by employees and business partners to provide services to you. In

addition to providing you with the opportunity to refuse marketing offers, we release information only with your consent or at your requests, or when

required to do so by law or other regulatory authority. When a court order or subpoena requires us to release information, we notify you directly so that

you legal rights can be exercised, if appropriate. The only exceptions to this policy are when we are prohibited by court order or law from notifying you,

or cases in which fraud and/or criminal activity is suspected. Finally, each Cumulus employee is personally responsible for maintaining listener and

customer confidentiality. All Cumulus employees are required to sign an agreement that they will comply with these policies. Employees who violate these

policies are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Employees are expected to report violations-and may do so

confidentially-to their managers or other supervisors. Each radio station has an employee who has been assigned the responsibility for assuring the

adherence to Cumulus’s privacy policy. Check your local Cumulus Radio Website for this contact.

While we take information security seriously, please understand that no electronic data transmission or storage of information can be guaranteed to be 100%

secure. Therefore, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or that you use the Cumulus Platform. You are providing

your information to us at your own risk.

ADVERTISING/BEHAVIORAL TARGETING; HOW TO OPT‐OUT

We may use third party ad network providers to help present ads on the Cumulus Platform, as well as other service providers to evaluate and provide us with

information about the use of the Cumulus Platform and viewing of our content. Such providers may place and access cookies, pixel tags, or similar

technologies on your Device to serve you ads or other content personalized to your interests which they infer from your browsing on the Cumulus Platform

and other sites you have visited. In doing so, the provider collects or has access to non‐Personal Information such as your Usage Information. The

use of cookies, pixel tags, or similar technologies by these providers is subject to their own privacy policies, not ours.

If you do not want to receive the benefits of targeted advertising, you may opt out of some network advertising programs that use your information by

visiting the NAI Opt‐Out Page. Please note that even if you choose to remove your information (opt out), you will still see advertisements while

you’re browsing online. However the advertisements you see may be less relevant to you and your interests. Additionally, many network advertising programs

allow you to view and manage the interest categories they have compiled from your online browsing activities. These interest categories help determine the

types of targeted advertisements you may receive. The NAI Opt‐Out Page provides a tool that identifies its member companies that have cookies on your

browser and provides a mechanism to opt out of receiving cookies from those companies. Please note that if you opt‐out of targeted advertising, we

may still track your visits to the Cumulus Platform for our own analytics, operations and security purposes.
