On our websites and apps, we may obtain information about users’ online activities to provide users with advertising about products and services tailored to their interests. Users may see our ads on other websites because we use third-party ad services.

This kind of sharing may be considered a “sale” under applicable law when the personal information is exchanged for non-monetary consideration. See the “Your Privacy Choices and Rights” section below for additional information on your rights to opt-out of this disclosure of your information.
