For example, we may request your personal information (e.g., name, postal address, email address, telephone number, payment information, ) or your applicable business information when you register or fill out forms on our Site, purchase services, or communicate with us, as well as any information you provide if you take part in any interactive features of the Service (e.g., promotions, surveys, etc.).

Information about your device and its software, such as your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, device type/model/manufacturer, operating system, date and time stamp, and a unique ID that allows us to uniquely identify your browser, mobile device, or your account (including, for example, a persistent device identifier or an Ad ID), and other such information. We may also work with third-party partners to employ technologies, including the application of statistical modeling tools, which permit us to recognize and contact you across multiple devices.

These advertisements are governed by the privacy policies of those social media companies that provide them.
