<p>1</p>
<p>Parler Privacy Policy</p>
<p>Effective Date: July 28, 2022</p>
<p>Parler, Inc. and its affiliates (“Company,” “we,” “our,” and/or “us”) value the privacy of</p>
<p>individuals who use our social news applications, the websites where this Privacy Policy is posted</p>
<p>(“Websites”), and related services (collectively, our “Services”). This privacy policy (the “Privacy</p>
<p>Policy”) explains how we collect, use, and share information from our users (“Users,” “you,”</p>
<p>and/or “your”) to facilitate your commenting, social news, and influencer networking experience.</p>
<p>By using our Services, you agree to the collection, use, disclosure, and procedures this Privacy</p>
<p>Policy describes. Beyond the Privacy Policy, your use of our Services is also subject to our Terms</p>
<p>of Service https://parler.com/documents/user-agreement.pdf</p>
<p>We neither sell your information to third parties nor share your information with foreign</p>
<p>governments except in the limited circumstances described in this Privacy Policy (see Section 2</p>
<p>“How We Share the Information We Collect” below for more detail).</p>
<p>We recognize that information privacy is an ongoing responsibility, and so we will from time to</p>
<p>time update this Privacy Policy as we undertake new privacy practices or adopt new privacy</p>
<p>policies.</p>
<ol>
<li>Information We Collect</li>
</ol>
<p>“Personal Information” is information that identifies, relates to, describes, or can be reasonably</p>
<p>linked to, directly or indirectly, a particular individual or household. We may collect Personal</p>
<p>Information (as we have done in the past) from you on or through the Services in a variety of ways,</p>
<p>including when you register on the Services, sign up for communications, or make any purchases.</p>
<p>We also may, from time to time, use Personal Information about you to improve the Services, and</p>
<p>for the various purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.</p>
<p>A. Information You Provide to Us.</p>
<p>Registration and Profile Information. When you sign up for an account or update your profile</p>
<p>information, we collect Personal Information you provide to us such as your name, email address,</p>
<p>phone number, display name, profile photo, preferred language, date of birth, and any Personal</p>
<p>Information you voluntarily provide in your profile biography, including gender and location.</p>
<p>Note: either an email address or phone number is required for registration purposes, and</p>
<p>both are recommended for account security and ease in recovery.</p>
<p>Verification Information. If you choose to go through a verification process, we may ask for</p>
<p>Personal Information that can be used to verify your identity, such as scans of your government-</p>
<p>issued photo identification. When your government-issued photo identification information is no</p>
<p>longer necessary to verify your identity, we delete the scans (front and back). We retain only an</p>
<p>anonymized hash corresponding to the information the identification document contains, to prevent</p>
<p>identity theft and impostor accounts. In addition to the identification information, we may ask for</p>
<p>you to take a selfie for the purpose of preventing impostor accounts. But they are deleted as soon</p>
<p>as they are reviewed as part of the verification process.</p>
<p>2</p>
<p>Influencer Network Information (Not Currently Available). Unlike other platforms, Parler</p>
<p>allows you to monetize your content, following, and goodwill. As part of that, the law requires us</p>
<p>to collect certain pieces of Personal Information. Specifically, in addition to identification</p>
<p>information (see above under “verification” for our collection and treatment of identifying</p>
<p>information), we collect form W-9 as required by the IRS. We are required to do this in order to</p>
<p>facilitate the receipt by you of payments earned on Parler. However, we store that Personal</p>
<p>Information in secure, encrypted form. We never share it, sell it, or use it in any way other than for</p>
<p>purposes of legal compliance.</p>
<p>Content you Share. We collect any information you choose to provide on our Services, such as</p>
<p>posts (“Parleys”), follows, photos, videos, gifs, comments, votes, echoes, and interests.</p>
<p>Payment Information. If you make a purchase through our Services, your payment-related</p>
<p>Personal Information, such as your credit and debit card or automated clearing house (ACH)</p>
<p>information, is collected and stored by our third-party payment processor on our behalf.</p>
<p>Communications. If you contact us directly, we receive additional Personal Information about</p>
<p>you. For example, if you contact us for customer support, we may receive your name, email</p>
<p>address, phone number, the contents of any message or attachments you may send to us, and any</p>
<p>other information you choose to provide.</p>
<p>Your Contacts. If you permit us to access the address book on your device or give us permission</p>
<p>to import your contacts from an email account associated with your account, we may access and</p>
<p>store names and contact information, including Personal Information, from your address book, to</p>
<p>help you follow your contacts, and your contacts to follow you.</p>
<p>B. Information We Collect When You Use Our Services.</p>
<p>We may collect information that may not reasonably identify you or your household personally,</p>
<p>but is linked to your computer or device (“Device Identifiable Information”). We collect Device</p>
<p>Identifiable Information from you in the normal course of providing the Services. When you visit</p>
<p>our Services to browse, read, or download information, we automatically collect information about</p>
<p>your computer that your browser sends, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access</p>
<p>times, pages visited, and referring website addresses. We may use Device Identifiable Information</p>
<p>to analyze trends, help administer and improve the Services, to learn about and determine which</p>
<p>pages of the Websites visitors view and for how long, how visitors navigate throughout the</p>
<p>Services, and to gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We may also collect</p>
<p>Device Identifiable Information through “cookies” or “web beacons” as explained below.</p>
<p>Device and Location Information. We receive Device Identifiable Information about the device</p>
<p>and software you use to access our Services, including IP address (from which approximate or</p>
<p>“coarse” location may be inferred), device type, web browser type, operating system version,</p>
<p>phone carrier and manufacturer, member agents, application installations, device identifiers,</p>
<p>mobile advertising identifiers, and push notification tokens.</p>
<p>3</p>
<p>Usage Information. We automatically receive Device Identifiable Information about your</p>
<p>interactions with our Services, such as the posts or other content you view, the searches you</p>
<p>conduct, the people you follow, and the dates and times of your visits.</p>
<p>Information from Cookies and Similar Technologies. We may collect information using</p>
<p>cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files containing a string of</p>
<p>alphanumeric characters. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session</p>
<p>cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your</p>
<p>browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to our Services.</p>
<p>Cookies operate in the background and you can turn them off by adjusting your Web browser</p>
<p>settings, but doing so may make it difficult to use some of the features on the Websites or the</p>
<p>features may not be available to you. We may use cookies to make your Service experience easier</p>
<p>by, for example, remembering your preferences, or keeping track of your login name and password.</p>
<p>For more information on your choices regarding cookies, you can review the FTC’s guide to opting</p>
<p>out of online tracking for computers and mobile devices. Your browser may offer you a “Do Not</p>
<p>Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and</p>
<p>services that you do not want them to track your online activities. The Services do not currently</p>
<p>support Do Not Track requests.</p>

<p>about our consumers is among the assets transferred;</p>
<p>• To help maintain the safety, security, and integrity of our Website, products and services,</p>
<p>databases and other technology assets, and business;</p>

<p>process, law enforcement or governmental agency; and</p>

<p>collected.</p>
<p>We will not collect additional categories of Personal Information or use the Personal Information</p>
<p>we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without updating this</p>
<p>Privacy Policy to provide you with notice as set out in Section 10 “Changes to the Privacy</p>
<p>Policy” below.</p>
<ol>
<li>How We Share the Information We Collect</li>
</ol>
<p>Vendors and Service Providers. We may share any Personal Information we receive with vendors</p>
<p>and service providers retained in connection with the provision of our Services.</p>
<p>Content you Share. Our Services are social services which allow you to find, enjoy, and share</p>
<p>content. Your name, display name, profile photo, about me section, and contacts (i.e., members</p>
<p>you are following) will always be viewable and/or searchable by other Members. The content you</p>
<p>post to our Services will be displayed and viewable by other Members by default. Although this</p>
<p>content is public by default, in the “Your Choices” section below, we describe the account settings</p>
<p>and controls you can use to limit the sharing of certain information. We are not responsible for</p>
<p>other Members’ use of available information, so you should carefully consider whether and what</p>
<p>to post and how you identify yourself on our Services.</p>
<p>Marketing. We do not share Personal Information about you with nonaffiliated third parties for</p>
<p>their direct marketing purposes unless we have your affirmative express consent.</p>
<p>As Required By Law and Similar Disclosures. We may access, preserve, and disclose your</p>
<p>Personal Information if we believe doing so is required or appropriate to: (a) comply with law</p>
<p>enforcement requests and legal process, such as a court order or subpoena; (b) respond to your</p>
<p>requests; or (c) protect your, our, or others’ rights, property, or safety. For the avoidance of doubt,</p>
<p>5</p>
<p>the disclosure of your Personal Information may occur if you post any objectionable content on or</p>
<p>through our Services.</p>
<p>Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers. We may transfer your Personal Information to service</p>
<p>providers, advisors, potential transactional partners, or other third parties in connection with the</p>
<p>consideration, negotiation, or completion of a corporate transaction in which we are acquired by</p>
<p>or merged with another company or we sell, liquidate, or transfer all or a portion of our assets. The</p>
<p>use of your Personal Information following any of these events will be governed by the provisions</p>
<p>of this Privacy Policy in effect at the time of the acquisition or merger.</p>
<p>Consent. We may also disclose your Personal Information with your permission.</p>
<ol>
<li>Your Choices</li>
</ol>
<p>Sharing Preferences. We provide you with settings to allow you to set your sharing preferences</p>
<p>for content you post to our Services. Certain Personal Information, such as your display name, may</p>
<p>always be publicly available to others, and other Personal Information is made publicly available</p>
<p>to others by default. To change whether certain information is publicly viewable, you can adjust</p>
<p>the settings in your account.</p>
<p>Marketing Communications. We send you marketing communications consistent with your</p>
<p>choices. You can unsubscribe from our promotional emails by adjusting your account settings or</p>
<p>via the link provided in the emails. Similarly, if you change your mind about receiving promotional</p>
<p>text messages after having opted-in, you may follow the opt-out directions sent with each text.</p>
<p>Note: Even if you opt-out of receiving promotional messages from us, you will continue to receive</p>
<p>administrative messages from us.</p>
<p>Notifications. You can opt-out of receiving notifications for posts, votes, echoes, comments, and</p>
<p>followers by adjusting your profile and/or operating system (i.e., iOS or Android) settings.</p>
<p>Correction. You may correct your Personal Information at any time by logging in to your account</p>
<p>and updating any inaccurate information.</p>
<p>Additional Privacy Rights. In addition, if you are a resident of California or of the European</p>
<p>Economic Area, you have additional rights with respect to your Personal Information. Please see</p>
<p>Sections 11 and 12 below for additional information.</p>
<ol>
<li>Third Party Links and Sites</li>
</ol>
<p>Our Services may contain links to other websites, products, or services that we do not own or</p>
<p>operate. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. Please be aware that</p>
<p>this Privacy Policy does not apply to your activities on these third-party services or any information</p>
<p>you disclose to these third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing</p>
<p>any information to them.</p>
<p>For example, any information you share with Google as a consequence of sharing or interacting</p>
<p>with YouTube content on Parler is governed by Google’s privacy policy. Google now provides</p>
<p>users some control over the collection of data by its users and API Clients like Parler; follow this</p>
<p>6</p>
<p>link for more information on revoking an API client’s access to your data. Exercising such control</p>
<p>may require having a Google account, which itself may be a privacy concern for some of our</p>
<p>members. Therefore, members are encouraged to use Parler’s own native video capabilities (or the</p>
<p>capabilities of other platforms equally respectful of member privacy) if they wish to avoid sharing</p>
<p>data with Google. (A similar disclaimer applies to Rumble, an emerging competitor of Google-</p>
<p>YouTube. When in doubt, consult the privacy policy of the entity responsible for facilitating the</p>
<p>display of content on our Services, before choosing to interact with it, so you can make an informed</p>
<p>decision about your privacy.)</p>
<ol>
<li>Security</li>
</ol>
<p>We make reasonable efforts to protect your Personal Information by using physical and electronic</p>
<p>safeguards designed to improve the security of the Personal Information we maintain. However,</p>
<p>no method of transmission or storage of data is 100% secure and we will not be responsible for</p>
<p>any damage that results from a security breach of data or the unauthorized access to or use of</p>
<p>information, whether Personal Information or Device Identifiable Information. To the extent we</p>
<p>provide your Personal Information to any third parties, we will request that they use reasonable</p>
<p>security measures to protect your information.</p>
<ol>
<li>Children’s Data</li>
</ol>
<p>We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use Personal Information from children under 16 years</p>
<p>of age, and no part of our Services is directed to children. If you learn that a child has provided us</p>
<p>with Personal Information in violation of this Privacy Policy, then you may alert us at</p>
<p>privacy@parler.com and we will delete such information.</p>
<ol>
<li>International Transfers of Data</li>
</ol>
<p>Our Services are hosted in the United States and intended for visitors located within the United</p>
<p>States. If you choose to use our Services from the European Union or other regions of the world</p>
<p>with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, then please note that</p>
<p>you are transferring your Personal Information outside of those regions to the United States for</p>
<p>storage and processing. By providing any information, including Personal Information, on or to</p>
<p>our Services, you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing.</p>
<ol>
<li>Update or Delete Your Information</li>
</ol>
<p>You can update your account and profile information through your account settings. You can delete</p>
<p>your account either by navigating to Settings > Legal > Delete Account while logged into your</p>
<p>account on our Website or in one of our Apps, or by selecting that option via our online Parler</p>
<p>Privacy Request portal, which is accessible by clicking here.</p>
<ol>
<li>Changes to the Privacy Policy</li>
</ol>
<p>We will post any adjustments to the Privacy Policy on this page, and the revised version will be</p>
<p>effective when it is posted. If we materially change the ways in which we use or share Personal</p>
<p>Information previously collected from you through our Services, we will notify you through our</p>
<p>Services, by email, or other communication. Your continued use of our Services following our</p>
<p>posting or notifying you of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.</p>

<p>All of the categories collected above may be provided to third parties as described in Section 3</p>
<p>“How We Share the Information We Collect”.</p>
<p>A. Your Rights and Choices under the CCPA.</p>
<p>The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their Personal</p>
<p>Information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.</p>
<p>Right to Know and Data Portability</p>
<p>You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and</p>
<p>use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months (the “right to know”). Once we receive</p>
<p>10</p>
<p>your request and confirm your identity (see the “Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete”</p>
<p>subsection below), we will disclose to you:</p>
<p>• The categories of Personal Information we collected about you.</p>
<p>• The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you.</p>
<p>• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that Personal Information.</p>
<p>• The categories of third parties with whom we share that Personal Information.</p>
<p>• If we disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, two separate lists</p>
<p>disclosing:</p>
<p>sales, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient</p>

<p>disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the Personal Information categories that</p>
<p>each category of recipient obtained.</p>
<p>• The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you (also called a</p>
<p>“data portability request”).</p>
<p>Right to Delete</p>
<p>You have the right to request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we have collected</p>
<p>and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the “right to delete”). Once we receive your request and</p>
<p>confirm your identity (see “Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete”), we will review your</p>
<p>request to see if an applicable exception allows us to retain the information. We may deny your</p>
<p>deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:</p>
<p>• Complete the transaction for which we collected the Personal Information, provide a good</p>
<p>or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our</p>
<p>ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product</p>
<p>recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with</p>
<p>you</p>
<p>• Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal</p>
<p>activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.</p>
<p>• Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.</p>
<p>• Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech</p>
<p>rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.</p>
<p>• Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code §</p>
<p>1546 et. seq.).</p>
<p>• Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based</p>
<p>on your relationship with us.</p>
<p>• Comply with a legal obligation.</p>
<p>• Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the</p>
<p>context in which you provided it.</p>
<p>We will delete or deidentify Personal Information not subject to one of these exceptions from our</p>
<p>records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.</p>
<p>11</p>
<p>Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete</p>
<p>To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request via our online</p>
<p>Parler Privacy Request portal, which is accessible by clicking here.</p>
<p>Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or</p>
<p>delete related to your Personal Information by submitting proof of identity and, in the case of</p>
<p>someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, proof of their authority to act.</p>
<p>You may also make a request to know or delete on behalf of your child by providing proof of</p>
<p>identity.</p>
<p>You may submit a request to know only twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know or</p>
<p>delete must provide information sufficient for us to reasonably verify you are the person about</p>
<p>whom we collected Personal Information (or you are an authorized representative of same), as well</p>
<p>as describe your request with enough detail for us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to</p>
<p>it. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify</p>
<p>your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you.</p>
<p>You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete. We will use</p>
<p>Personal Information provided in the request only to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to</p>
<p>make it.</p>
<p>For instructions on exercising your sale opt-out or opt-in rights, see “Personal Information Sales</p>
<p>Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights” below.</p>
<p>Response Timing and Format</p>
<p>We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive</p>
<p>confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please contact us at privacy@parler.com.</p>
<p>We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days</p>
<p>of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason</p>
<p>and extension period in writing.</p>
<p>If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account, or to the email</p>
<p>address associated with the account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our</p>
<p>written response by mail or electronically, at your option.</p>
<p>Any disclosures we provide will cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request.</p>
<p>The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if</p>
<p>applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal</p>
<p>Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity</p>
<p>to another entity without hindrance.</p>
<p>We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is</p>
<p>excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we</p>
<p>will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing</p>
<p>your request.</p>
<p>12</p>
<p>Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights</p>
<p>The CCPA prohibits a business from selling Personal Information unless you have received explicit</p>
<p>notice and an opportunity to opt out of further sales. We do not sell your Personal Information to</p>
<p>third parties. If this position changes and you are older than 16, you will be given explicit notice</p>
<p>and an opportunity to opt out of further sales, with details of how to exercise that “right to opt out.”</p>
<p>We do not sell the Personal Information of any consumer, including consumers we actually know</p>
<p>are less than 16 years old, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt in”) from</p>
<p>either the consumer who is between 13 and 15 years old, or the parent or guardian of a consumer</p>
<p>less than 13 years old. Consumers who opt in to Personal Information sales may opt out of future</p>
<p>sales at any time.</p>
<p>We use Personal Information provided in an opt-out request only to review and comply with the</p>
<p>request.</p>
<p>B. Non-Discrimination under the CCPA.</p>
<p>We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by</p>
<p>the CCPA, we will not:</p>
<p>• Deny you goods or services.</p>
<p>• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through</p>
<p>granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.</p>
<p>• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.</p>
<p>• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a</p>
<p>different level or quality of goods or services.</p>
<p>However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in</p>
<p>different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will</p>
<p>reasonably relate to your Personal Information’s value and contain written terms that describe the</p>
<p>program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-</p>
<p>in consent, which you may revoke at any time.</p>
<p>C. Other California Privacy Rights.</p>
<p>California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Website</p>
<p>who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal</p>
<p>Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Not all information sharing is</p>
<p>covered by the “Shine The Light” requirements and only information on covered sharing may be</p>
<p>included in our response. To make such a request, please do so via our online Parler Privacy</p>
<p>Request portal, which is accessible by clicking here, or write to us at: Parler Privacy Request,</p>
