Third-Party data collection and advertising
Like the internet itself, online marketing is a networked enterprise. Thus, we want to make it clear that we do use third parties for marketing, analytics, social media, and data analysis. These third parties may use cookies, or other methods or technologies like scripts, pixels, or action tags, to collect information about you when you interact with the Services. We may also provide these third parties with information about you to assist us in our marketing efforts. We use the information we collect and receive for a variety of purposes, including to learn which online advertisements attracted you; to improve our content, products, and services; to inform groups of users about relevant products and services; to identify new customers; and to help us analyze and improve the Services and the effectiveness of our marketing. The use of your information may be governed by privacy policies maintained by those third parties.
Social Media Platforms. We use third parties to gather and analyze data from social media platforms, including, for example, Facebook®, Instagram®, YouTube®, and Twitter®. We use these third parties to help us understand your interaction between social media and our Services, and to advertise to current and future customers based on interests and demographics.
Online Behavioral (Targeted) Advertising. Online behavioral advertising is used to deliver advertisements that are catered to your interests (or “targeted” to you) based on your browsing history. We may engage third parties to display ads on our behalf on the Internet, including, for example, Google, and those third parties may use information about you to provide you with our ads. They may also track and report on the performance of our advertising and marketing campaigns and provide that information to us. Online behavioral advertising can use a variety of tracking technologies, including cookies, pixels, and scripts, and track you across websites. Certain state privacy laws allow residents of those states to opt out of this type of advertising. Customers in those states may fill out our webform to opt out.
