In this Privacy Policy, "Affiliates" refers to subsidiaries and entities in which Los Angeles Times or its subsidiaries operate or have an ownership interest.
 This Privacy Policy applies only to the information Los Angeles Times and its Affiliates collect through the websites, mobile applications, electronic devices, kiosks, and all other print and digital products and services we provide, any other services that display this Privacy Policy, and all of the associated content, functionalities and advertising (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy governs the Services regardless of how you access them. Some Services may have a specific, separate privacy policy that will govern use of those Services.

 ## 8\. How we protect information.
 We have implemented a variety of administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect against the unauthorized access, destruction or alteration of your information. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect, process and store and the current state of technology.
 Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot guarantee that information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

+## 9.1 Linked sites and advertisements
 The Services may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those third-party websites.
 We have relationships with third-party providers to provide content, products, services, and functionality through the Services. When you visit sites or use any Services provided in conjunction with one or more of these third-party providers and the brands of those providers appear on the site or Services in connection with such content, products, services, or functionalities, we may share any information you provide or that is collected during your use of those Services with those providers.
+## 9.2 Embedded video player
+We use the unbranded version of the YouTube embedded video player ("YouTube Player") to display some of our YouTube video content in our Services. YouTube may collect usage data when you use, interact or engage with the YouTube Player in our Services. You can read about Google's Privacy Policy as it relates to the YouTube Player here: [https://www.google.com/policies/privacy](https://www.google.com/policies/privacy).
 ## 10\. Collection of certain information by third parties through our Services.
 For certain advertising that appears in the Services, an advertiser may request, and you may directly provide to that advertiser, information such as your name, home address, or email address. When you provide information in that way, the information you submit may be used by the advertiser in any way that it chooses, including to market to you, or to share with others. The information may be covered by the advertiser's separate privacy policy, but in many cases that will not be the case because the advertiser may have no separate online presence. You should therefore only submit your information in these cases when you are comfortable doing so given the above conditions, and if you have any questions about the privacy practices of an advertiser, you should contact the advertiser itself.
 ## 11\. Use of the Services by users from outside the United States.

 You may have the right to receive information about the financial incentives that we offer to you (if any). You also have the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising certain of your rights. Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. We need certain types of information so that we can provide the Services to you. If you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use the Services.
