Any of these transfers may be of local or cross-border nature.
For sake of clarity, if we de-identify data about you, or aggregate it such that it is no longer personal information or other information for which we have an obligation to you based on this Privacy Policy (or a statement made elsewhere on the Service), we may share it with others freely.
If you elect to receive marketing communications, we may use your personal information to send you marketing communications. We do not share your personal information that we have collected directly from you on the Website with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes unless we have given you the ability to choose to consent or withhold consent to such sharing at the time you provide your personal information, in which case we will honor your choice.

Such third-party data receipt and collection is subject to the privacy and business practices of that third party, not us.
We use third-party service providers to perform certain services on behalf of us or the Website, including hosting the Website, designing and/or operating the Website’s features, tracking the Website’s activities and analytics, detecting, and preventing fraud, and enabling us to send you communications, special offers or perform other administrative services. We may provide these service providers and other third parties with access to personal information, Usage Information, and other user data, to carry out the services they are performing for you or for us.

Also, both we and the third party may have access to certain information about you and your use of the Website and any Third-Party Service.
Third-Party Services may use their own cookies, web beacons, and other Tracking Technologies to independently, collect information about you, including Third-Party Services to which you are directed from the Website, including where you click a link and leave the Website entirely.

Regular cookies may generally be disabled or removed by tools available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some instances blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Browsers offer different functionalities and options, so you may need to set them separately. Also, tools from commercial browsers may not be effective with regard to Flash cookies (also known as locally shared objects), HTML5 cookies, or other Tracking Technologies.

Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many online services, we currently do not alter our practices when we receive a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” you can visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com, but we are not responsible for the completeness or accuracy of this third-party information. Some third parties, however, may offer you choices regarding their Tracking Technologies. For specific information on some of the choice options offered by third party analytics and advertising providers, see the next section. We may, from time-to-time, and in certain jurisdictions, offer or point you to tools that allow you to exercise certain preferences regarding cookies and other Tracking Technologies associated with the Website, but such tools rely on third parties and third-party information so we do not guaranty that the tools will provide complete and accurate information or be completely effective.
We do not represent that these third-party tools, programs, or statements are complete or accurate. You will need to do this on each browser that you use to access our Services and clearing cookies on your browser(s) may disable your preference settings. Also, our Services may not function properly or as intended if you block all or even certain cookies. Accordingly, you may want to consider the more limited opt-out choices noted in the next section.
Please note, clearing cookies or changing settings may affect your choices and you must opt-out separately via each browser and other device you use. However, opting out does not mean you will stop seeing ads and you may continue to still see interest-based ads. Cookie-enabled opt-out signals may no longer be effective if you delete, block or clear cookies. We are not responsible for the completeness, accuracy or effectiveness of any third-party notices, tools, or choices.
Certain companies may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) AdChoices Program and may display an Advertising Option Icon for Interest-based Ads that links to an opt-out tool which allows you to exercise certain choices regarding targeting. You can learn more about the DAA AdChoices Program here. In addition, certain advertising networks and exchanges may participate in the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). NAI has developed a tool that allows consumers to opt out of certain Interest-based Ads delivered by NAI members’ ad networks. You can learn more about opting out of such targeted advertising or to use the NAI tool here. Please be aware that, even if you are able to opt out of certain kinds of Interest-based Ads, you will continue to receive non-targeted ads. Further, opting out of one or more NAI or DAA members only means that those selected members should no longer under the DAA / NAI rules deliver certain targeted ads to you. This will affect services provided by the applicable DAA / NAI members but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads from non-participating parties. Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit the opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different Device or web browser(s), or use a non-browser-based method of access, your NAI / DAA browser-based opt-out may not, or may no longer, be effective. IHI is not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third-parties’ opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs. However, IHI supports the ad industry’s Self-regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising and expect that ad networks IHI directly engages to serve you Interest-based Ads will do so as well, though IHI cannot guaranty their compliance.
We may also use Google Ad Services. To learn more about the data Google collects and how your data is used by it and to optout of certain Google browser Interest-Based Advertising, please visit here. For more information about Google’s privacy practices, please visit the Google Ad and content network Privacy Policy.
We are not responsible for effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third-parties’ opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.
We endeavor to incorporate commercially reasonable safeguards to help protect and secure your personal information. However, no data transmission over the Internet, mobile networks, wireless transmission, or electronic storage of information can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please note that we cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit to us, and you use the Website and provide us with your information at your own risk.
It is our policy to protect the confidentiality of Social Security numbers in our possession from misuse and improper disclosure by maintaining and enforcing policies and physical and electronic safeguards against misuse and improper disclosure. Unlawful disclosure of Social Security numbers is prohibited, and access to them is limited to personnel who need access to such information to perform their job functions.

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Privacy Policy and your use of the Website indicates your consent to the privacy policy posted at the time of use. However, we will not use your previously collected personal information in a manner materially different than represented at the time it was collected without your consent.
