Our Collection of Personal Information
Sometimes we collect personal information automatically when an individual interacts with our Services and sometimes, we collect personal information directly from an individual.

Once you create an account, you may also be able to create a profile that may be visible to other users on the Services. You may personalize your profile by including additional information about yourself and uploading a profile picture. We use this information to administer your account, provide you with the relevant services and information, communicate with you regarding your account, the Services, and for customer support purposes.

For instance, you may post comments about articles that are shown publicly, or send messages or links to other users privately. User Content and any information contained in the User Content, including personal information you may have included, is stored and collected as part of the Services. We use the User Content to fulfill the reason why it was provided (i.e., post your comments or send your messages), and to operate, improve, personalize, and optimize the Services, including to manage and deliver advertising.

Third-Party Data Collection and Online Advertising
We may participate in interest-based advertising and use third party advertising companies to serve you targeted advertisements based on your browsing history.

Typically, though not always, the information used for interest-based advertising is collected through tracking technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, and similar technology, which recognize the device you are using and collect information, including clickstream information, browser type, time and date you visited the Sites, AdID, general location, and other information. We may share a common account identifier (such as a hashed email address or user ID) with our third-party advertising partners to help identify you across devices. We and our third-party partners may use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics and market research. We may also use services provided by third parties (such as social media platforms) to serve targeted ads to you and others on such platforms. We may do this by providing a hashed version of your email address or other information to the platform provider.
Please see Online Ads of the Control Over Your Information section below, to learn how you can opt out of interest based advertising.
Social Media Widgets 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

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 forums. These companies have interest-based
advertising programs that allow us to direct advertisements to users
who have shown interest in our 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. We may
share a unique identifier, such as a user ID or hashed email address,
with these platform providers or they may collect information from
our website visitors through a first-party pixel, in order to direct
targeted advertising to you or to a custom audience 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.
Third Party Partners.
We may work with a variety of third-party partners to provide services. If we do, we may share a unique identifier, like a user ID or hashed email address, with the third party to facilitate the service.
