(collectively, “Rumble,” or “we” or “ us” or “our”) collect, use, and share Personal Information. This Privacy Policy applies to all services offered through our mobile applications, platforms, and websites (collectively, the “Services”), and to any Personal Information obtained from website visitors and users in connection with the Services we provide directly to those users.
We take your privacy seriously. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy whenever you access our Services or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our data privacy practices and the choices available to you.

We collect your Personal Information based on the purpose for which you provide it to us. “Personal Information” includes any information that we collect about you that, alone or in combination with other information, can be used to identify you, such as a personal identifier (e.g., name, email or postal address, phone number, etc.), online identifiers, or inferences about your preferences. For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, Personal Information also includes “Personal Data,” as defined under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) or other applicable international data protection laws.

Email Communications. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive email communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications or update your account settings.
Social Networking Sites. When you log-in through an SNS account, such as Facebook, the privacy policy of that SNS applies to their collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information. In addition, the SNS may collect Personal Information about your activity on the Rumble website for the purpose of providing you with targeted advertising and other services. You may determine whether or not your activity on the Services will be shared and disclosed through the privacy settings on your SNS accounts. Please review the privacy policies of the SNS with whom you engage to better understand the information they collect and the choices you have with respect to the collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information. You can disable the feature that links your account to a SNS at any time by logging into your SNS account and selecting the option to disable connection to your SNS.
Our Services contain links to other third-party websites and online services. If you choose to visit another website or online service by clicking on a link, you will be directed to that third party's website or online service. Other websites and online services follow different rules regarding the collection, use and/or disclosure of Personal Information. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites or online services you visit before providing any information or using such websites or services to carefully understand their privacy practices.
We care about the security of your Personal Information. Rumble maintains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards reasonably designed to guard Personal Information that has been provided to us from loss, misuse or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We utilize commercially reasonable safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of information collected and maintained through the Service and comply with applicable laws and industry standards to secure and protect information transmitted via or stored through our Services. However, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of information you transmit to our Site.
“Cookies” are small amounts of data generated by a website and saved by your web browser. Browsers store the data temporarily and return it to the server on subsequent visits or requests. Web beacons are a small image file (usually a transparent 1x1 pixel image) used for tracking purposes. They may be placed in a webpage or HTML email to record when the content was loaded. We use the information collected by web beacons to statistically monitor how many people are using our Services. We utilize both cookies, pixels, and web beacons to help us keep our Services secure, measure the performance of our Services, understand how visitors interact with them, count numbers of visitors, and improve the user experience. For example, cookies, pixels, and web beacons may be embedded in videos or web pages to collect certain types of information from your device or web browser in order to determine if you have viewed a particular video, web page, or advertisement.
In addition to Rumble's use of cookies and web beacons, we have relationships with advertising companies and SNS, including Rumble's own Ad Manager, who may serve ads and/or collect certain information when you visit our web site. These advertising companies typically use a cookie, pixel, or third-party web beacon to collect this information. For example, these companies may use information collected about you (e.g., IP address, click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over) during your visits in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you. In addition, these advertising companies and SNS may use their own unique identifiers to identify you, and this information may be collected from you by these third parties, consistent with their own privacy policies.
Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default, but you can control and manage the use of cookies on your browser or device by deleting them from your browser history when you leave our website. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or alert you when a cookie is set on your computer. If you use a mobile device to access our Services, certain information associated with your device may be collected (e.g., browser type, device manufacturer, device model, etc.) and used for purposes similar to cookies. Most mobile devices allow you to disable the ability for geolocation information to be collected from your mobile device. The help function on most browsers and mobile devices contains instructions on how to set your browser to notify you before accepting cookies, disable cookies entirely, or disable the collection of geolocation data. Please be advised, if you disable certain cookies, some of the features of our website may not function properly or be available to you, such as those which require identification.
Do Not Track Requests. Some web browsers have Do Not Track (“DNT”) or similar features that allow you to tell each website you visit that you do not want your activities on that website tracked. Currently, Rumble does not respond to DNT signals and will continue to collect information about you even if your browser's DNT functionality is activated. By selecting the DNT option on your browser, this may not affect our collection of information related to cookie or other tracking technologies.
The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides California residents with the right to receive certain disclosures regarding the collection, use, and sharing of their Personal Information, and the right to know, access, delete, and limit sharing of Personal Information. In the past twelve months, we may have collected the categories of Personal Information as described in the “Information We Collect” section. We provide California residents the privacy rights listed below in accordance with the CCPA:
You may exercise your right to know and your right to deletion two times a year free of charge. To exercise your right to know or your right to deletion, contact us through one of the methods listed at the bottom of this Privacy Policy.
Request Verification and Response. We will take steps to verify your identity before processing your request to know or request to delete. We will not fulfill your request unless you have provided sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the individual about whom we collected Personal Information. If you are a registered user of our Services, we will use our existing account authentication practices to verify your request. If you do not have an account with us, we may request additional information about you. We will only use the Personal Information provided in the verification process to verify your identity or authority to make a request and to track and document request responses, unless you initially provided the information for another purpose. We will confirm our receipt of a verifiable consumer request within ten (10) business days and respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of receipt. If we need more time to respond, we will provide written notification to you, including our reason for the need for an extension and respond to your request no later than ninety (90) days after receipt. If we cannot comply with a request, we will explain the reason in our communication to you.
Authorized Agent. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request to know or a request to delete. When we verify your agent's request, we may verify both your and your agent's identity and request a signed document from you that authorizes your agent to make the request on your behalf. To protect your Personal Information, we reserve the right to deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on their behalf.
Sale or Sharing of Personal Information. Rumble does not sell or share Personal Information, as such terms are defined under the CCPA. However, we may share Personal Information with third parties as directed or consented to by you. If we decide to sell or share your Personal Information, you will have the right to opt-out prior to any such sale.
Other California Privacy Rights. Under California's “Shine the Light” law (Ca.Civ.Code Section 1798.83), California residents are entitled to request and obtain from Rumble once per calendar year information about when we share your Personal Information with third parties for those third parties' own direct marketing purposes. To request this information, please email us at the address indicated below in the Contact Us section and note “California Shine the Light” in the subject line.

We reserve the right to deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf. We also may use a third-party verification provider to verify your identity. Applicable laws may permit or require us to decline your rights request. If we decline your request, we will tell you why unless prohibited by law from doing so.
