Privacy Policy

Untamed is a news discovery service operated by CD Solutions, Inc. (“Untamed”, “we”, “us” or “our”). We aggregate headlines, summaries and media from publishers around the web so you can find the stories that matter to you. We built the site to work without asking who you are: you can read everything Untamed publishes without creating an account or telling us anything about yourself.

Information we collect

We do not require registration and we do not collect names, email addresses or other personal profiles from readers. Like most websites, our servers automatically record basic technical information about each request — such as IP address, browser type and the pages viewed — in standard server logs. We use this information in aggregate to keep the site fast, secure and reliable, and we retain it only as long as needed for those purposes.

If you choose to sign up for Untamed Text Alerts, we also collect the information described under Text messaging (SMS) below.

Information we collect through automatic data collection technologies

As you navigate through and interact with Untamed, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including:

• Details of your visits, including traffic data, approximate location data, logs, other communication data, and the resources that you access and use.
• Information about your computer and internet connection, including your IP address, operating system, and browser type.

We also may use these technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services (behavioral tracking). Visit https://privacy.untamednation.com/optout to exercise applicable opt-out rights and see Opt-out preference signals for information about browser-based signals.

The information we collect automatically includes personal information. It helps us improve Untamed and deliver a more personalized experience, including by enabling us to:

• Estimate our audience size and usage patterns.
• Store information about your preferences and customize the site according to your interests.
• Speed up your searches.
• Recognize you when you return.

The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include:

• Cookies (or browser cookies). A cookie is a small file placed on your device. Untamed's own cookies maintain your browsing session and remember basic preferences, such as your display theme. You may refuse some or all browser cookies or configure your browser to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, some parts of the site may become inaccessible or may not function properly.
• Web beacons. Pages of the site may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also called clear gifs, pixel tags, or single-pixel gifs) that permit us to count visits, measure content popularity, and verify service and server integrity.

Automated content classification

Untamed uses automated systems, which may include artificial-intelligence models, to help organize the stories we aggregate and to help screen reader comments. This processing applies to the content on the site, not to information about you, and our editors can review and correct it. We do not use automated systems to build profiles of individual readers.

Third-party use of cookies and other tracking technologies

Some content or applications, including advertisements, may be served by third parties such as advertisers, advertising networks, content providers, analytics providers, and application providers. These third parties may use cookies or other tracking technologies to collect information when you use Untamed, including information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or services. They may use this information to provide interest-based advertising or other targeted content.

Untamed uses Google AdSense to serve advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to Untamed or to other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to Untamed and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting Google Ads Settings, and you can opt out of other third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising through the industry tools listed under Privacy choices. To learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

We do not control these third parties' tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, contact the responsible provider directly. For available choices, see Privacy choices.

Opt-out preference signals

Untamed recognizes Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) and other legally recognized opt-out preference signals. For California consumers, we treat a valid signal as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. For residents of other states whose laws recognize opt-out preference signals, we treat a valid signal as a request to opt out of the sale of personal data and its use for targeted advertising, and, where applicable law provides, profiling. We apply the signal to the browser or device and any consumer profile associated with that browser or device, including pseudonymous profiles. If we know the identity of the consumer, we also apply the request to the consumer, including the consumer's account and associated offline sale or sharing. We do not require a consumer to log in or verify their identity merely to have a signal recognized, and the absence of a signal later is not treated as consent to opt back in. Our site displays whether we processed the signal as an opt-out request.

Text messaging (SMS)

If you join Untamed Text Alerts — by texting UNTAMED to 89517 or by giving us your mobile number on an Untamed sign-up form and agreeing to receive texts — we collect your mobile phone number, your carrier's name, the date, time and content of the messages you send to and receive from us, and the record of your opt-in consent. We use this information only to send you the text messages you asked for, to answer HELP and STOP requests, and to keep proof of your consent. When you opt out, we keep your number on a do-not-text list so that we honor your request.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing, advertising or promotional purposes. Mobile information includes mobile phone numbers, telephone numbers used for text messaging, and text messaging originator opt-in data and consent. Every other disclosure described in this policy excludes this information. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, other than the service providers that deliver our messages (such as our messaging platform and wireless carriers) and as required by law.

You can stop text messages at any time by texting STOP to 89517, and get help by texting HELP to 89517. See our SMS Terms for message frequency, rates and the rest of the program's terms.

Privacy choices

You can control certain uses and disclosures of your personal information as follows:

• Cookies and similar technologies. You can configure your browser to refuse some or all cookies or to alert you when cookies are sent. Disabling cookies may cause parts of the site not to function properly.
• Sale, sharing, targeted advertising, and qualifying profiling. Use our Privacy Choices form or a legally recognized opt-out preference signal such as GPC.
• Text messages. Text STOP to 89517 at any time to stop Untamed Text Alerts messages. See Text messaging (SMS).
• Other privacy rights. Use our Privacy Rights Request form for access, correction, deletion, portability, authorized-agent requests, and appeals.

Third parties may provide additional controls for interest-based advertising. You can use the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out platform or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out platform. These industry tools are separate from the state-law opt-out methods described in this policy.

We and our partners may use IP addresses, cookies, pixels, web beacons, and pseudonymous identifiers, including hashed identifiers, to measure engagement and personalize advertising or content. Hashed or pseudonymous identifiers may still constitute personal information under applicable law. We may disclose this information to advertising and analytics partners as described in this policy, but we never disclose mobile phone numbers or SMS opt-in data to them. Use our Privacy Choices form or a recognized opt-out preference signal to exercise an applicable opt-out right.

Data security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. These safeguards are selected based on the nature of the information and the risks presented by its processing.

If you have account credentials, you are responsible for keeping them confidential. Please use care when sharing information in public areas of the site, such as reader comments, because other users may be able to view it.

No transmission or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of personal information.

External links and sources

Stories on Untamed frequently link to the original publisher's website. Once you leave Untamed, the privacy practices of that publisher apply. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
