### **What are Our Third-Party Data Collection and Online Advertising Practices?**

133

143

134

#### **General**

144

We, and our third-party partners, use information that we receive about you (e.g., that you provide to us or about your use of the Services, or that we receive from third parties or off our Services) to serve advertisements that are more relevant to your interests, determine the content on which the ads will appear, identify audiences similar to you, optimize marketing and advertising campaigns more broadly, generate analytics, and provide and receive marketing/advertising-related services such as reporting, market research, and measurement/attribution. These third-party partners may include online advertising networks or exchanges, measurement/attribution companies, ad fraud verification companies, social media companies, or other advertising technology services (e.g., demand-side or sell-side platforms, ad servers, clean room providers, analytics providers, identity resolution providers, data management platforms).

135

145

136

We, and our third-party partners, use information that we receive about you (e.g., that you provide to us or about your use of the Services, or that we receive from third parties or off our Services) to serve advertisements on and off the Services that are more relevant to your interests, determine the content on which the ads will appear, or audiences similar to you, optimize marketing and advertising campaigns more broadly, as well as to generate analytics and provide and receive marketing/advertising-related services such as reporting, market research, and measurement/attribution. These third-party partners may include online advertising networks or exchanges, measurement/attribution companies, ad fraud verification companies, social media companies, or other advertising technology services (e.g., demand-side or sell-side platforms, ad servers, clean room providers, analytics providers, identity resolution providers, data management platforms).

137

138

146

Ads served to you may rely on analyzing your and others' personal information to understand or predict your specific interests for targeting purposes (and, in many cases, you will be grouped with others with similar interests in what is often called an "audience" or "segment"). In other cases, we may analyze aggregated information for certain advertising services, such as "contextual" advertising. For example, we might find out which topics, like sports or fashion, interest readers. Then, we may analyze at scale (i.e., on an aggregated basis) what other topics readers usually enjoy. By understanding these patterns, we can place ads that align with the interests associated with certain types of content, whether that content is on or off our Services.

139

147

However, information used for advertising is typically collected through tracking technologies, such as cookies, web beacons/pixels, SDKs, APIs, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, logging technologies, and similar technologies, which recognize the device you are using (or help recognize you across devices) and collect information, including clickstream information, browser type, time and date you visited the Sites, mobile ad ID or other digital identifier (e.g., iOS IDFA, Google AAID, cookie ID, click ID, other proprietary IDs such as open-source "universal IDs" or other ID solutions), geolocation, and other information, such as the advertising/advertising measurement data discussed further above in this Privacy Policy. These tools may also collect other information you provide to us or other information about how you use the Services or your use of other services, such as your mouse movements, scrolling, clicks, and keystroke activity on or off the Services and other browsing, search, or purchasing behavior. These tools may also record information you enter when you interact with us or engage in chat or other features, whether on or off our Services.

152

We may engage vendors to provide certain interactive features on our Services. Your use of these interactive features is voluntary, and we may retain the information that you submit through these features. For example, we may offer an interactive chat feature for customer service purposes. When you participate in interactive chat, either with a virtual or live agent, the contents of the chat may be captured and kept as a transcript. By using these features, you understand that our vendors may process the information you submit to provide the service on our behalf. When using the interactive chat feature, you may be interacting with a generative AI platform and not a live person. Do not provide confidential, sensitive, or proprietary information when using the interactive chat feature. Use of the interactive chat feature is for general information only; please understand that information, decisions, or advice provided by the interactive chat feature or any materials retrieved from the interactive chat feature have not been reviewed for content or accuracy.

154

The above information may be shared with, or received from, our business partners (e.g., advertisers/agencies, advertising technology services) or other categories of third parties described in this Privacy Policy. We may also share or receive a common account identifier (such as a hashed or encrypted email address or user ID) or other information (such as phone number, which also is typically provided in hashed or encrypted format) with or from our third-party partners to help identify you, including across devices. We may share or receive this information using mechanisms such as API, direct file upload, server-to-server transfer, or integrating the tracking technologies of those partners (e.g., pixel).

Our Services may include social media features, such as the Facebook "Like" button, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, or other widgets.

164

We display targeted advertising to you through social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other social media platforms. For example, these companies have interest-based advertising programs that allow us to direct advertisements to users who have shown interest in our services or other services while those users are on the social media platform, or to groups of other users who share similar traits, such as likely commercial interests and demographics. As mentioned in the section above, we may share a unique identifier, such as a user ID or hashed or encrypted email address or phone number, with these platform providers or they may collect information from our website visitors through a pixel (or other mechanism, such as API, direct file upload, or server-to-server integration), in order to direct targeted advertising to you or to a custom audience (including "look-a-like" audiences, such as audiences that are similar to you or other users) on the social media platform. These advertisements are governed by the privacy policies of those social media companies that provide them. If you do not want to receive targeted ads on your social networks, you may be able to adjust your advertising preferences through your settings on those networks.

 ### **What are Our Third-Party Data Collection and Online Advertising Practices?**
+#### **General**
+We, and our third-party partners, use information that we receive about you (e.g., that you provide to us or about your use of the Services, or that we receive from third parties or off our Services) to serve advertisements that are more relevant to your interests, determine the content on which the ads will appear, identify audiences similar to you, optimize marketing and advertising campaigns more broadly, generate analytics, and provide and receive marketing/advertising-related services such as reporting, market research, and measurement/attribution. These third-party partners may include online advertising networks or exchanges, measurement/attribution companies, ad fraud verification companies, social media companies, or other advertising technology services (e.g., demand-side or sell-side platforms, ad servers, clean room providers, analytics providers, identity resolution providers, data management platforms).
+We, and our third-party partners, use information that we receive about you (e.g., that you provide to us or about your use of the Services, or that we receive from third parties or off our Services) to serve advertisements on and off the Services that are more relevant to your interests, determine the content on which the ads will appear, or audiences similar to you, optimize marketing and advertising campaigns more broadly, as well as to generate analytics and provide and receive marketing/advertising-related services such as reporting, market research, and measurement/attribution. These third-party partners may include online advertising networks or exchanges, measurement/attribution companies, ad fraud verification companies, social media companies, or other advertising technology services (e.g., demand-side or sell-side platforms, ad servers, clean room providers, analytics providers, identity resolution providers, data management platforms).
 Ads served to you may rely on analyzing your and others' personal information to understand or predict your specific interests for targeting purposes (and, in many cases, you will be grouped with others with similar interests in what is often called an "audience" or "segment"). In other cases, we may analyze aggregated information for certain advertising services, such as "contextual" advertising. For example, we might find out which topics, like sports or fashion, interest readers. Then, we may analyze at scale (i.e., on an aggregated basis) what other topics readers usually enjoy. By understanding these patterns, we can place ads that align with the interests associated with certain types of content, whether that content is on or off our Services.
 #### **How We Collect This Information**
 The information used for our advertising practices depends on the advertising use case. However, information used for advertising is typically collected through tracking technologies, such as cookies, web beacons/pixels, SDKs, APIs, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, logging technologies, and similar technologies, which recognize the device you are using (or help recognize you across devices) and collect information, including clickstream information, browser type, time and date you visited the Sites, mobile ad ID or other digital identifier (e.g., iOS IDFA, Google AAID, cookie ID, click ID, other proprietary IDs such as open-source "universal IDs" or other ID solutions), geolocation, and other information, such as the advertising/advertising measurement data discussed further above in this Privacy Policy. These tools may also collect other information you provide to us or other information about how you use the Services or your use of other services, such as your mouse movements, scrolling, clicks, and keystroke activity on or off the Services and other browsing, search, or purchasing behavior. These tools may also record information you enter when you interact with us or engage in chat or other features, whether on or off our Services.
+We may engage vendors to provide certain interactive features on our Services. Your use of these interactive features is voluntary, and we may retain the information that you submit through these features. For example, we may offer an interactive chat feature for customer service purposes. When you participate in interactive chat, either with a virtual or live agent, the contents of the chat may be captured and kept as a transcript. By using these features, you understand that our vendors may process the information you submit to provide the service on our behalf. When using the interactive chat feature, you may be interacting with a generative AI platform and not a live person. Do not provide confidential, sensitive, or proprietary information when using the interactive chat feature. Use of the interactive chat feature is for general information only; please understand that information, decisions, or advice provided by the interactive chat feature or any materials retrieved from the interactive chat feature have not been reviewed for content or accuracy.
 The above information may be shared with, or received from, our business partners (e.g., advertisers/agencies, advertising technology services) or other categories of third parties described in this Privacy Policy. We may also share or receive a common account identifier (such as a hashed or encrypted email address or user ID) or other information (such as phone number, which also is typically provided in hashed or encrypted format) with or from our third-party partners to help identify you, including across devices. We may share or receive this information using mechanisms such as API, direct file upload, server-to-server transfer, or integrating the tracking technologies of those partners (e.g., pixel).

 #### **More On Social Media Platforms and Advertising**
 Our Services may include social media features, such as the Facebook "Like" button, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, or other widgets. These social media companies may recognize you and collect information about your visit to our Services or other interactions with us (e.g., through our ads) and they may set a cookie or employ other tracking technologies. Your interactions with those features are governed by the privacy policies of those companies.
 We display targeted advertising to you through social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other social media platforms. For example, these companies have interest-based advertising programs that allow us to direct advertisements to users who have shown interest in our services or other services while those users are on the social media platform, or to groups of other users who share similar traits, such as likely commercial interests and demographics. As mentioned in the section above, we may share a unique identifier, such as a user ID or hashed or encrypted email address or phone number, with these platform providers or they may collect information from our website visitors through a pixel (or other mechanism, such as API, direct file upload, or server-to-server integration), in order to direct targeted advertising to you or to a custom audience (including "look-a-like" audiences, such as audiences that are similar to you or other users) on the social media platform. These advertisements are governed by the privacy policies of those social media companies that provide them. If you do not want to receive targeted ads on your social networks, you may be able to adjust your advertising preferences through your settings on those networks.
