  • Third Parties: We may disclose personal information collected about you to third-party business partners, such as (i) list buyers who market their goods and services (commonly known as “list rental”); (ii) our advertising, marketing, and sponsorship customers to market their goods and services; (iii) “data coops,” which are shared databases containing customer information from multiple publishers to enable marketing use of such customer information by participating publishers; (iv) consumer data vendors/resellers, enrichment providers, and other similar entities for data optimization, lead generation, and other data-based projects; (v) social media services and social networks; (vi) companies that assist us with our products and product recommendations; and (vii) attorneys, auditors, accountants, consultants, and other professional advisors.

4. Our Use of Cookies and Related Technologies

  • Cookies/Local Device Storage: The Service may sometimes place and/or store codes or other types of information and/or software on your device or within your browser, such as cookies, locally shared objects, and HTML5 (collectively, "Local Device Storage"). We and our third-party business partners may, independently or jointly, use Local Device Storage in connection with the Service to collect personal information for the purposes described in their respective privacy policies, including, without limitation, determining whether you have already seen a particular advertisement on the same device or a different device and otherwise controlling and customizing the display of advertisements based on your perceived preferences, collecting data to track the movements of individual users through the Service and elsewhere on the Internet over time and across unaffiliated websites, apps, and devices, as well as to help diagnose server problems, collect general demographic information, conduct research, provide editorial content, record registration and personalization information, inform offers we may make to you, and otherwise administer the Service. For example, if you register on any part of the Service and are given the option to save your username and password, we may provide you with this convenience through Local Device Storage. You can disable Local Device Storage. If you do not wish to have Local Device Storage, your device, browser, or application settings menu may include an option to decline it. However, if you disable Local Device Storage, some parts of the Service may not function properly.
  • Tracking Technologies: In addition to Local Device Storage, we and/or our third-party business partners may use web beacons, web bugs, internet or pixel tags, clear gifs, fingerprints (also known as "Machine Identification"), and similar technologies (collectively, together with Local Device Storage, "Tracking Technologies") on the Service, including in our communications with you, such as in emails and texts, application push notifications, videos, and during your use of the Services. We and our third-party business partners use Tracking Technologies to determine which messages have been opened by recipients and for any or all of the same lawful purposes described above for the use of Local Device Storage.
  • Do Not Track (DNT): Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites and online services you visit. There is no consensus on what DNT means in this context, and because some browsers apply DNT signals by default, this does not necessarily reflect the choice of our visitors to receive personalized advertising based on their interests. Consequently, like many websites, we do not alter our practices when the Service receives a DNT signal from a visitor's browser. As detailed below, you can opt out of third-party online behavioral advertising at any time by declining to use your personal data for third-party online behavioral advertising.

5. Tracking Preferences and Opting Out of Tracking

We and our third-party business partners use Tracking Technologies on the Service for the purpose of Tracking Preferences. This allows for offering personalized advertising based on perceived interests inferred from the user's browsing on the Service and other sites, apps, destinations, and services, over time and across unaffiliated websites, apps, and services, using the same device or a different device. To enable tracking, we and our third-party business partners independently use Tracking Technologies.

Where required by applicable law, to opt out of tracking enabled by using your email address in coordination with audience authentication providers, visit our site at the following link: [Insert Link Here]
