Sales, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising Activities
The State Privacy Laws require that we provide transparency about personal information we “sell,” “share,” or use for targeted advertising. “Sale,” for the purposes of the State Privacy Laws, broadly means scenarios in which we have disclosed personal information with partners in exchange for valuable consideration, while “sharing” means we have disclosed information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising. In addition, the California Consumer Privacy Act has been interpreted to deem this “sharing” to also be a form of “sale.” We never disclose your personal data in exchange for money; however, we do disclose certain categories of personal data (including identifiers, internet or other electronic network activity information, and commercial information) with advertising and marketing networks to show you targeted ads on third-party properties and to expand the reach and effectiveness of our own marketing campaigns. These activities may be considered “sales,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” under certain state laws. See below for details about your privacy rights, including opt-out rights.
We do not knowingly sell or share personal information about consumers under the age of 18.
Your Rights under State Privacy Laws

The transfer of personal information to our entities outside of these covered countries is governed by data transfer agreements, which are in the form of the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission (a copy of which can be obtained from us via the contact details below). Where your personal information is processed by third parties outside of the EU, UK, and Switzerland, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to adequately protect your personal information, as required by applicable law, including the execution of standard contractual clauses (referred to above) if the recipients are not located in a country with adequate data protection laws (as determined by the European Commission).
