HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION
Company's primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide the Products, Content, and Services and to operate our business. We also use personal information for the purposes set forth below and as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy or at the time of collection.
To Provide the Platform. We may use personal information to operate our business. For example, we use personal information to:

As part of these activities, we may create aggregated, de-identified, or other anonymous data from personal information we collect. We make personal information into anonymous or de-identified data by removing information that makes the data personally identifiable to you or your device, whether directly or indirectly. We will maintain and use any de-identified data without attempting to reidentify the data. We may use this anonymous or de-identified data and share it with third parties for our lawful business purposes.

Interest-Based Advertising. We work with third-party advertising companies and social media companies to help us advertise our business and to display ads for our products and services. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about you (including the online activity information and browser & device information described above in the section called "Personal Information Automatically Collected") over time across our Platform and other websites and services or your interaction with our emails, and use that information to serve ads that they think will interest you. In addition, some of these companies may use hashed customer lists that we share with them to deliver ads to you and to similar users on their platforms. You can learn more about your choices for limiting interest-based advertising in the "YOUR CHOICES" section below.
To Comply with Laws and Regulations. We will use personal information as we believe necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and legal process, such as to respond to subpoenas or requests from government authorities.
For Compliance, Fraud Prevention, and Safety. We may use personal information and disclose it to law enforcement, government authorities, and private parties as we believe necessary or appropriate to: (a) maintain the safety, security, and integrity of the Platform and our products, business, databases, and other technology assets; (b) protect our, your, or others' rights, privacy, safety or property (including by making and defending legal claims); (c) audit our internal processes for compliance with legal and contractual requirements and internal policies; (d) enforce the terms and conditions that govern the Platform; and (e) prevent, identify, investigate, and deter fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical or illegal activity, including cyberattacks and identity theft.

YOUR CHOICES
You can make the following choices regarding your personal information:
Review and Request Changes to Your Personal Information. The accuracy of the personal information we have about you is very important. You have the right to correct and update your personal information by directly accessing your account and profile information. You may also request that we correct your information by contacting us. Note that we may keep historical information in our backup files as permitted by law.
Email Communications. If you provide us with your email address in order to receive communications, you can opt-out of marketing emails at any time by following the instructions at the bottom of our emails. Please note that certain emails may be necessary for the operation of our Platform, such as those about your account, to fulfill orders for offers you have requested, or deliver notifications directly to you through the Platform. You will continue to receive these emails, even if you unsubscribe from our marketing communications.
Cookies. Most browsers let you remove or stop accepting cookies from the websites you visit. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser's settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all functionality of the Platform and our Site may not work properly. Also, the offers we provide when you use our Site may not be as relevant to you or tailored to your interests. For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your browser and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
Analytics. The Site uses Google Analytics to help us analyze how the Site is being accessed and used. You can learn more about Google Analytics cookies by clicking here and about how Google protects your data by clicking here. To opt-out of Google Analytics, you can download and install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available here.
Advertising Choices. If you wish to minimize the amount of targeted/interest-based advertising you receive, you may block third-party cookies in your browser settings, use browser plug-ins/extensions, and use your mobile device settings to limit the use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device. You can also opt out of interest-based ads from companies participating in the following industry opt-out programs by visiting the linked websites: the Network Advertising Initiative (http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (https://optout.aboutads.info). Some of the companies we work with may offer their own opt-out mechanisms. For example, you can learn more about how Google uses cookies for advertising purposes by clicking here and opt-out of ad personalization by Google by clicking here.
Many of the opt-out preferences described in this section must be set on each device or browser for which you want them to apply. Please note that some of the advertising companies we work with may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms described above, so even after opting-out, you may still receive interest-based advertisements from other companies. If you opt-out of interest-based advertisements, you will still see advertisements online but they may be less relevant to you.
