Our Use of Cookies

We and third parties use cookies and similar technologies, such as tags, beacons, and pixels (“Cookies”), to maximize your online experience. We may also work with third parties that use Cookies to collect information about your online activities.

Our Information Retention Guidelines

We retain your information while we have a relationship with you, as necessary to accomplish the purpose for which it is processed, and for a period after our relationship has ended. When deciding how long to keep your personal information after our relationship has ended, we exercise data minimization principles, as balanced against fraud prevention, collections, legal compliance and other considerations.

We Only Share Personal Information in Limited Circumstances

To create communications, promotions, or advertisements including via agencies or ad networks;
As required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or other legal process, or to comply with government reporting obligations;
When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, the integrity of our services, or for your safety or the safety of others, or to detect, prevent, or respond to fraud, intellectual property infringement, violations of our Terms of Use, violations of law, or other misuse of our services; and
With third parties to pursue a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.

Additionally, we may share information with third parties that do not identify you (and cannot be combined with other information accessible to us to identify you). California residents should read the Additional Disclosure for California Residents section below for additional information.

Your Rights and Choices Include the Following

The right to access information we have collected;
The right to request the deletion of information we have collected; and
