Information we collect automatically
We and partners working on our behalf gather information about all users collectively, such as what areas
users visit most frequently and what services users access most often. We and partners working on our behalf may use log
files, cookies, or other digital tracking technologies to collect the following information from the device you use to
interact with our Services. As part of this process, we may incorporate tracking technologies into our own Services (including
our website and emails) as well as into our ads displayed on other websites and services. Some of these tracking technologies
may track your activities across time and services for purposes of associating the different devices you use, and delivering
relevant ads and/or other content to you (“Interest-based Advertising”).
We also use audience matching services (which is a type of Interest-based Advertising) to reach people (or people similar to
people) who have visited our Services or are identified in one or more of our databases (“Matched Ads”). This is done by us
providing a list of hashed email addresses to an ad partner or incorporating a pixel from an ad partner into our own Services,
and the ad partner matching common factors between our data and their data. For instance, we incorporate the Facebook pixel on
our Services and may share your email address with Facebook as part of our use of Facebook Custom Audiences.
As indicated above, vendors and other parties may act as our service providers, or in certain contexts, independently decide
how to process your information. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with and consult their privacy policies and terms of
use.
For further information on the types of tracking technologies we use on the Service and your rights and choices regarding
analytics, Interest-based Advertising, and Matched Ads, please see the “Cookies and other Tracking Technologies” and “Your
Rights and Choices” sections.

Cookies and other tracking technologies
We use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, mobile device IDs and similar files or technologies to collect and store certain
information that we automatically collect about your computer, device, and service usage.
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you
visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that
recognizes that cookie. Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to
provide information to the owners of the website.
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and
generally improving the user experience. Cookies may tell us, for example, whether you have visited our Services before or
whether you are a new visitor. They can also help to ensure that ads you see online and on social media are more relevant to
you and your interests.
There are two broad categories of cookies:
• First party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device. We don’t release the information
collected from our own cookies to any other parties, except our service providers who assist us in providing the services.
• Other-party cookies, which are served by another other party on our behalf. We use other party cookies for the
purposes described above.
Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are “session cookies”,
meaning that they exist only while your browser is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other
cookies are “persistent cookies”, meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. They can be used by websites to
recognize your computer when you open your browser and browse the Internet again.
You have the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies and we have explained how you can exercise this right below.
However, please note that if you choose to refuse cookies you may not be able to use the full functionality of our services
Most browsers allow you to change your cookie settings. These settings will typically be found in the “options” or
“preferences” menu of your browser. In order to understand these settings, use the “Help” option in your browser.
Pixels (also known as web beacons), are code embedded in a website, video, email, or advertisement that send information about
your use to a server. There are various types of pixels, including image pixels (which are small graphic images) and
JavaScript pixels (which contains JavaScript code). When you access a website, video, email, or advertisement that contains a
pixel, the pixel may permit us or a separate entity to drop or read cookies on your browser. Pixels are used in combination
with cookies to track activity by a particular browser on a particular device. We may incorporate pixels from separate
entities that allow us to track our conversions, bring you advertising both on and off the Services, and provide you with
additional functionality.
App Technologies are technologies included in our apps that are not browser-based like cookies and cannot be controlled by
browser settings. For example, our apps may include SDKs, which is code that sends information about your use to a server.
These SDKs allow us to track our conversions, bring you advertising off the Services, and provide you with additional
functionality.
Location-Identifying Technologies are technologies used to collect your location. For example, GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth may be
used to collect precise location data when you consent to precise location tracking through our apps. Location data may be
used for purposes such as verifying your device’s location and delivering or restricting relevant content and advertising
based on that location.
Voice Processing Technologies are technologies used to collect audio through the microphone on your device to effectuate an
instruction or request by you. We only maintain audio long enough to complete your instruction or request and then immediately
delete it. We may use non-audio data associated with the collection for additional purposes such as data analytics and in
accordance with this privacy policy.

Entities to whom we disclose information for business purposes are service providers, which are companies that we engage to
conduct activities on our behalf. We restrict service providers from using personal information for any purpose that is not
related to our engagement.
Entities to whom we “sell” information are other parties. Under the CCPA, a business “sells” personal information when it
discloses personal information to a company for monetary or other benefit. A company may be considered a “other party” either
because we disclose personal information to the company for something other than an enumerated business purpose under California
law, or because its contract does not restrict it from using personal information for purposes unrelated to the service it
provides to us.
Your rights under the CCPA
•
Opt out of sale of personal information: You have the right to opt out of our sale of your personal information to
other parties. To exercise this right, please visit our Do Not Sell My Personal Information webpage or contact us. Please be
aware that your right to opt out does not apply to our disclosure of personal information to service providers.
•
Know and request access to and deletion of personal information: You have the right to request access to personal
information collected about you and information regarding the source of that personal information, the purposes for which we
collect it, and the other parties and service providers with to whom we sell or disclose it. You also have the right to
request in certain circumstances that we delete personal information that we have collected directly from you. Please contact
us to exercise these rights.

Making a Request to Exercise Your Rights
Submitting requests: You may request to exercise your rights by submitting the form on this page or making a request
using the contact information above.
If you are a California resident, you may authorize another individual or a business registered with the California
Secretary of State, called an authorized agent, to make requests on your behalf.
We may have a reason under the law why we do not have to comply with your request, or why we may comply with it in a
more limited way than you anticipated. If we do, we will explain that to you in our response.
Verification:We must verify your identity before responding to your request. We verify your identity by asking you to
provide personal identifiers that we can match against information we may have collected from you previously. We may need to
follow up with you to request more information to verify identity.
We will not use personal information we collect in connection with verifying or responding to your request for any
purpose other than responding to your request.
