Third party advertising partners that we work with use the technologies described in our Cookie Policy to collect personal information about your interaction with the Service (including the device data and online activity data described above), our communications, and other online services over time and with different browsers and devices. They use that information to serve online ads that they think will interest you on other online services and to measure their effectiveness. They may also use contact data we provide to try to target relevant ads on their platforms to our customers or prospective customers.

Other sites and services

The Service may contain links to or integrations of websites and other online services operated by third parties. In addition, our content may be integrated into web pages or other online services that are not associated with us. These links and integrations are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. We do not control websites or other online services operated by third parties, and we are not responsible for their actions. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites and online services you use.

Security and retention

We use technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect and process about you. However, security risk is inherent in all internet and information technologies, and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

We retain personal information where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested; to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements; to establish or defend legal claims; or for fraud prevention). Whether the retention period is sufficient to fulfill such purposes is the primary criteria for determining the duration of the retention period. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

International data transfers

We are headquartered in the United States and we and our service providers may process personal information from the United States and other countries. These countries may have data protection laws that are not as protective as those where you live.

Children

The Service is not directed to children under 18 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian of a child from whom you believe we have collected personal information in a manner prohibited by law, please contact us. If we learn that we have collected personal information through the Service from a child without the consent of the child’s parent or guardian as required by law, we will comply with applicable legal requirements to delete the information.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by updating the date of this Privacy Policy and posting it on the Service or other appropriate means. Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon our posting the modified version (or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting). In all cases, your use of the Service after the effective date of any modified Privacy Policy indicates your acknowledgment that the modified Privacy Policy applies to your use of the Service and interaction with our business.
