• Changing Mobile Device Privacy Settings. Your mobile device may collect and share device-level information to facilitate targeted advertising. This is independent of our Services but can affect your overall privacy experience. To better understand and manage these settings, you may refer to the privacy resources provided by your device’s operating system. For your convenience, we’ve included links to informational pages for Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS platforms.
• Limiting Interest-Based Advertising. You have the option to limit the interest-based advertising you receive. Various organizations and platforms offer opt-out features that allow you to have more control over your online advertising experience. For example, the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) provides a consumer choice tool that lets you opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies. You can access this tool at the DAA Opt-Out Page. Similarly, the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) offers an opt-out tool for participating members. You can access this tool at the NAI Opt-Out Page. Please note that participation in the DAA and NAI opt-out programs is entirely optional. These are third-party services and opting out through these platforms is not a requirement for using our Services. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of any such opt-out options. Opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean you will no longer see advertisements; it simply means that the advertisements you do see will not be tailored to your interests.
• “Do Not Track” Signals. Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that you can set in your web browsers, which allows you to opt out of tracking by websites and online services.

• “Global Privacy Control.” Some browsers and browser extensions support the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating your choice to opt-out from certain types of data processing, including the “sharing” of your personal data.

You are not obligated to participate in any contest, sweepstakes, or short-term promotion and may terminate your participation at any time (as described in the survey terms and conditions). You may withdraw from participating in a Program at any time by contacting us using the designated method set forth in the applicable Program terms and conditions.

California Civil Code Section § 1798.83, also known as the “Shine the Light” law, permits California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed their personal information (if any) for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year, as well as the type of personal information disclosed.
