We may partner with third parties (Third Party Providers and Advertisers, collectively known as “Advertisers”) that collect information across various channels, including offline and online, for purposes of delivering more relevant online advertising to you. Our partners may place or recognize a cookie on your computer, device or directly in our emails/communications, and we may share Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information with them, as permitted by law and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Our partners may link the Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information we share with them to the cookie stored on your browser or device, and they may collect information such as your IP address, browser or operating system type and version, and demographic or inferred-interest information. Our partners use this information to recognize you across different channels and platforms over time for advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes. For example, our partners may deliver an ad to you in your web browser based on a purchase you made in a physical retail store, or they may send a personalized marketing email to you based on the fact that you visited a particular website.

In addition, we may offer you financial incentives for the collection, sale and retention and use of your Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information as permitted by applicable state laws that can, without limitation, result in reasonably different prices, rates, or quality levels.

We may add or change incentive programs and/or their terms by posting notice on the program descriptions and terms linked to above so check them regularly.
Program | Incentive Offered | Material Term | How to Opt In |
Email Sign Up Discount | First-time email signup consumers earn 10% off their first purchase. | The Email and Text Message Sign Up Discount is available to consumers who are 18 years of age or older, and discounts are redeemable only at https://store.dailywire.com on full price styles, exclusions apply. We collect your email address to facilitate our operations, send you marketing messages, and to provide you with benefits. | Participating in the Email Sign Up Discount is entirely optional but is subject to additional terms and conditions and exclusions.

The financial incentive we offer to consumers through each program is reasonably related to the value of the consumer’s data. We have made a good faith estimate of the value of the consumer’s data based on relevant expenses related to the collection and retention of personal information as part of each program.
Participants in a financial incentive program may make a personal information deletion request as set forth herein. Consumers that are part of a rewards program will then be sent an email requesting that they confirm that they want to delete their respective program data. You may also terminate program participation at any time, as explained in each program’s terms or by calling us at (818) 699-9948. Upon a termination request, some program data associated with the terminated account may be retained for recordkeeping, tax reporting, and other legally permissible purposes. You can opt out of non-program marketing emails or delete your personal information from our active marketing lists and retain your program account and benefits.
We will not fulfill a request pursuant to CCPA or CPRA unless you have provided sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the consumer about whom we collected Personal Information and/or Sensitive Personal Information. We will take appropriate steps to confirm the identity of a consumer making a request for purposes of verifying the authenticity of the request. You may be required to provide certain Personal Information to allow us to verify that you are the consumer about whom the request is being made. If you request that we provide you with specific pieces of Personal Information about you, we will apply heightened verification standards. An authorized agent may submit a request on behalf of a consumer if the consumer has provided the authorized agent with power of attorney in accordance with necessary state law; alternatively, the agent must (1) present verifiable written authorization from the consumer that the agent has the consumer’s permission to submit the request; and (2) independently verify the agent’s own identity with Daily Wire. We will typically not charge a fee to fully respond to your requests, but we may charge a reasonable fee, or refuse to act upon a request, if your request is excessive, repetitive, unfounded, or overly burdensome. Some Personal Information we maintain about consumers (e.g., clickstream data) is not sufficiently associated with enough Personal Information about the consumer for us to be able to verify that it is a particular consumer’s Personal Information. Accordingly, we will not include such information in response to consumer requests. If we cannot comply with a request, we will explain the reasons in our response. We will use Personal Information provided in your request only to verify your identity or authority to make the request and to track and document request responses unless you also provided the Personal Information to us for another purpose.
We do not sell the Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.
Please note that while CCPA and CPRA rights do apply to Personal Information collected from job applicants and employees, this policy only covers those individuals in their capacity as users of our website. Separate privacy disclosures will be made to these parties during their application and onboarding processes.
