Information We Receive From Third Parties
We may collect your Personal Information from third party affiliates or business partners such as social media sites, ad networks, analytics providers, and advertising and marketing agencies and vendors. We may also receive information from other sources to help us supplement our records, improve the personalization of our service to you, and detect fraud. Our goal is to limit the information we collect to the information needed to support our business.
Information We Collect Through Automatic Data Collection Technologies
You also provide us information in other ways through technology to help our Websites and Services work properly and support customer service, marketing, and analytics efforts to help us understand our customers’ needs and provide information about our products and services. Some of this information may be linked to you personally. When you use our Services, our servers automatically record information that your browser or device sends whenever you visit a website or utilize an application. This information may include:
- your IP address, browser type, and operating system;
- the mobile device you use and its temporary or persistent unique device identifiers;
- pages you view on our Websites;
- websites you visited before coming to the Services; video viewing history for videos you watch on our Websites;
- emails from us that you open and/or forward;
- your mobile telephone number;
- your geographic location and your activities on our Websites, including the links you click, the pages or screens you view, your session time, the number of times you click a page/screen or use a feature of our Websites, the date and time you click on a page or use a feature and the amount of time you spend on a page or using a feature; and
- offers or links from us to which you connect.
Cookies, Pixels, and Other Tracking and Data Collection Technologies
Our Websites also use “cookie” technology to collect additional website usage data and to improve the Websites and our Services. There are two basic categories of cookies, first-party and third-party. They are both served to visitors to our Websites. First-party cookies are directly served by us, while third-party cookies are served on behalf of us by our vendors. More specifically, we use cookies for the following purposes:
- Necessary Cookies. These cookies are necessary for the Websites to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Websites will not work without the cookies enabled.
- Performance Cookies. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Websites. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Websites.
- Preferences Cookies. These cookies enable the Websites to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of the functionality of the Websites may not function properly.
- Targeting Cookies. These cookies may be set on our Websites by our advertising partners, including but not limited to Meta and LinkedIn, who may use these cookies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites as you browse the web. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less online advertising targeted to you, although you will still see generic or contextual online advertising.
- Web Beacons. Web beacons are small graphic images, also known as “Internet tags” or “clear gifs,” embedded in web pages. Web beacons may be used, for example, to count the number of visitors to the Websites, to monitor how users navigate the Website, and to count content views.
- Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is a small piece of code designed to collect information about your interactions with the Websites. The code is loaded dynamically from our web server, or from a third party with which we work, and is active only while you are on the Websites.
- Google Analytics. We also use Google Analytics to collect information automatically. Google Analytics only collects the IP address assigned to you on the date you visited the site and does not gather your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through Google Analytics with your identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser. For information about how to opt-out of Google Analytics Advertising Features, visit: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
Information collected through third-party cookies, web beacons and buttons is collected directly by these third parties, not by us. These third-party vendors collect, store, use, process and transfer information about Your activity on Our Websites in accordance with their Privacy Policies. Please consult such third party’s data collection, use and disclosure policies for more information. If you do not consent to such third-party data collection, use and disclosure practices, do not use or interact with the third-party content on our Websites.
Links to Other Websites
The Services may contain links to other websites. The fact that we link to a website is not an endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with that third party. We do not exercise control over third party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer or mobile device, collect data or solicit Personal Information from you. Other sites follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the Personal Information you submit to them. We are not responsible for the content, privacy and security practices, and policies of third-party sites or services to which links or access are provided through our Services. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit.

Other Purposes
We may also use information in the aggregate to understand how our users as a group use the Services.

We require these third-party service providers to exercise reasonable care to protect your Personal Information and restrict their use of your Personal Information to the purposes for which it was provided to them.
We may also allow third party service providers to use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activities over time and across different websites following your use of the Services.
Anonymous Information/Aggregated Information
We may freely use aggregated and anonymized information as allowed by law and share it with third parties. Any anonymized information we provide to third parties does not identify you and is not considered Personal Information, and, as such, is not subject to the terms of this Notice.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or other sale of all or a portion of our assets, we may transfer or allow third parties to use information owned or controlled by us. We reserve the right, in connection with these types of transactions, to transfer or assign your information and other information we have collected to third parties or to authorize third parties to use any such information retained by us. Other than to the extent ordered by a bankruptcy or other court, the use and disclosure of all transferred user information will be subject to this Notice. However, any information you submit or that is collected after this type of transfer may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by the successor entity.
Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement
We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials or private parties to enforce and comply with the law.
