Last Revised: September 6, 2016 Valyrian Media, Inc. ("Valyrian" "we" or "us") is the owner and operator of the Sites and the provider of the Services.

You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of all Personal Information you submit to Valyrian. We also collect and store the Personal Information you voluntarily submit to us through registering with us or uploading or posting User Content through the Sites, or registering for Services. If you are signed into your Tumblr, Twitter or Facebook account and you "like" or "comment" on Valyrian Content (such as the articles found on our newsletters) or other User Content, your Tumblr, Twitter or Facebook username will be displayed and so available to the public. You agree that your username, likes, feedback, and any associated comments may become public information; we therefore urge you to exercise caution when deciding to disclose any Personal Information on the Sites or through the Services.
We may utilize cookies and other technologies, such as, web beacons (also known as "clear gifs" and "pixel tags") to recognize you, customize your experience, and serve advertisements. Cookies are very small files placed on your computer, and they allow us to count the number of visitors to the Sites and distinguish repeat visitors from new visitors. They also allow us to save User preferences and track User trends. We may also enable advertisers and ad servers to promote third party products and/or services by placing advertisements on Valyrian. These advertisers and ad servers may use cookies and/or web beacons to monitor information related to served advertisements. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Policy covers the use of cookies by Valyrian and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers. If you do not want us to deploy cookies in your browser, you can opt out by setting your browser to reject cookies or to notify you when a website tries to put a cookie in your browser software. If you choose to disable cookies in your browser, you can still use the Sites and the Services, although your ability to use some of the features may be affected.
We automatically receive and collect information such as your IP address, the URLs of websites you arrive at Valyrian from or leave Valyrian to go to, your type of browser and language, access times, the content of any undeleted cookies that your browser previously accepted from us, your operating system, your mobile provider, your mobile device, and your ISP.
