Advertising & Analytics
We use third party advertising companies and analytics services to deliver relevant promotions and content and provide an optimized user experience. These tools enable the collection of information about your use of our Services through tracking technologies like cookies, web beacons, pixels, SDKs, and similar technologies. The information collected enables us to understand user behavior, secure our Services, detect anomalies and irregularities, make improvements and better target our marketing. This includes using trusted third party services that track this information on our behalf.
Behavioral Ads. The ads you see may be selected based on your browsing activities, purchasing behavior, search keywords, demographic information, social media interactions, geographic location and other factors. These ads are known as interest-based or behavioral advertising. We do not provide personal information to advertisers without your consent.
Online Tracking. Your activity on our Services is tracked by analytics providers for purposes such as analyzing usage trends, statistics, measuring conversions and effectiveness of campaigns. We make good faith efforts to work with trusted analytics providers who maintain adequate safeguards under applicable laws.
Do Not Track. Please note that while you may have the opportunity to opt out of targeted advertising and you may be able to control tracking technologies that collect information about your use of other websites and services, most browsers transmit Do Not Track signals that often go undetected. There is no industry consensus as to what site and app operators should do with regard to these signals. Accordingly, unless and until the law is interpreted to require us to do so, we do not monitor or respond to Do Not Track browser signals.
See our Cookie Policy to manage cookies and other tracking technologies. If you wish to opt out of interest-based advertising, you may do so through your device settings to limit ad tracking where applicable. You may also use the NAI’s consumer opt-out tool at https://optout.aboutads.info and opt out of members interest-based advertising, or through TRUSTe via its consumer preference tool at https://preferences-mgr.truste.com/.
Security
We follow industry standards on information security management to safeguard sensitive information. We have implemented technical, administrative and physical safeguards to help protect against unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure of personal information. However, no system can be 100% secure, thus we cannot warrant or ensure the security of your personal information.
International Data Transfers
We are a global service and may transfer, store and process your data anywhere we maintain operations or engage service providers, including the United States. We take steps to ensure adequate safeguards are in place to protect your data consistent with applicable laws. By using the Services, you acknowledge cross-border data transfers are necessary to provide the Services.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended version on the Site including the effective date of the amended version. We will announce any material changes to this Privacy Policy through our Site at least 30 days prior to the effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to ensure you are familiar with the most current version. Your continued access or use of the Site constitutes acceptance of the effective Privacy Policy.
Children’s Privacy

If we learn we have collected personal data from a child under 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe a child under 13 may have provided us information, please contact us at [email protected].
