We may disclose Usage Information or other de-identified data about visitors with third-party advertising companies, analytics providers, and other vendors for analytics and advertising purposes. In some cases, we may customize messages to you based on information that we have about you. We do not, however, sell or use Personal Information about you for targeted advertising on third-party websites.
Additionally, we will disclose your Personal Information to third parties where required by law, where it is necessary in connection with our Services or products, or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so. If we are subject to a merger or acquisition with/by another company, we may provide information to them in connection with the transaction.
The security of your data is important to us but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

You can opt out from receiving future marketing communications from us at any time by using the unsubscribe function in the email you receive from us or by contacting us as set forth in “How to Contact Us” above. Please allow sufficient time for your preferences to be processed. Even if you opt out of receiving marketing messages, we may still contact you for transactional purposes like confirming or following up on an order or service request. If you later opt back in to receive marketing communications from us, we will remove your information from our opt-out databases.
Personalized Advertising. You may opt out of how companies unaffiliated with us use tracking tools and collect your information while visiting our websites by visiting each of their privacy policies and following instructions there. Generally, you can opt out of the collection of data across unaffiliated sites over time for interest-based advertising and other purposes from companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Consumer Choice Page at www.aboutads.info/choices and from members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at www.networkadvertising.org/choices.

Please visit the links below if you wish to opt out or update your preferences:
Please note that we and other companies may still collect information when you are online, and opting out through these mechanisms does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to be served generic ads while online.
Geolocation. The precise geographic location of your device may be transmitted to our servers in real time any time that our mobile applications are running (even if you are not actively using an app or it is minimized on your device). You may stop allowing us to have access to your device's location information by accessing the app's location settings on your device and setting your device not to provide its location with us.
Cookies. Cookies are small pieces of information (data files) that are downloaded onto your computer or mobile device when you visit the Services. These technologies are able to store a unique identifier for a device to allow an online service provider to recognize the device whenever the device is used to visit the site. We and our third-party partners may use cookies to recognize your web browser when you visit the Services. As noted above in "Information We Collect And How We use Personal Information," you can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings on your browser or device. However, if you choose to disable cookies, your experience with our Services may be impaired and some features may not work as they were intended.
Additionally, Do Not Track is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked. You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the preferences or settings page of your web browser. However, these features are not yet uniform, so we do not currently respond to such features or signals. Therefore, if you select or turn on a "do not track" feature in your web browser, we and our third-party providers may continue collecting information about your online activities as described in this Privacy Policy.
You can choose to limit the data that third party services (e.g., social media platforms) disclose to us using the options provided to you by the applicable third party service (for example, the options provided by a third party social media platform when you connect your social media account with our Services). You can also disconnect your use of our Services from the third-party service at any time using the options provided to you by the applicable third-party service.
