TARGETED ADVERTISING AND REMARKETING
You may see advertisements for our services on other websites and mobile applications because we work with third party advertisers to engage in remarketing and retargeting activities. Through our relationships with these advertisers, we can target messaging to our users by interest-based, demographic, contextual, and other means. These third party advertisers track your online activities over time and across websites and mobile applications by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of third-party cookies, web server logs, and web beacons. They use this information to show you advertisements that may be tailored to your individual interests. The information our advertising partners may collect includes data about your visits to websites and mobile applications that participate in the relevant advertising networks, such as the pages or advertisements you view and the actions you take on the websites or apps. This data collection takes place both on our Sites and on third-party websites and mobile applications that participate in the advertising networks. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. Some third-party advertising companies may be advertising networks that are members of the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA” – https://digitaladvertisingalliance.org/) or Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI” – www.networkadvertising.org). We comply with the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioural Advertising set forth by the DAA. You have the ability to opt-out of targeting through both the DAA and NAI, as described below.
LINKS TO AND FROM OTHER WEBSITES
Our Sites may contain links or references to websites operated by third parties, or you may have come to our Sites using a link found on another website. This does not mean that we endorse these websites or the goods or services they provide. We do not make any representations or warranties about any website that may be linked to the Site. Such other websites are independent from us, and we have no control over, or responsibility for, their information, products or activities. Our privacy practices may differ from those of these other websites. If you provide Personal Information at one of these third party websites, you are subject to the privacy policy of the operator of that website, not our Privacy Policy. Please make sure you understand the other website’s privacy policy before providing such website with any Personal Information.
