Some web browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites and Services that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked.

In order to alleviate any communication error between browsers and our Services, our Services do not support "Do Not Track" signals or requests at this time. As the technology and communication between browser and website improves, we may elect in our discretion to reevaluate the ability to honor "Do Not Track" signals and may make changes to our policy. You may adjust your browser or operating system settings to limit this tracking or to decline cookies, but by doing so, you may not be able to use certain features on the Services or take full advantage of all of our offerings. Check the “Help” menu of your browser or operating system to learn how to adjust your tracking settings or cookie preferences. Note that our systems may not recognize Do Not Track headers or requests from some or all browsers.

4. SHARING OF YOUR INFORMATION
4.1. General Disclosure Policy.
We may share your Personal Information with certain third-parties to provide products and services that you have requested, when we have your consent, or as otherwise described in this Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to disclose Usage Data without restriction. We reserve the right to disclose or use Personal Information as described below.
4.2. De-Identified Information.
We may de-identify your Personal Information so that you are not identified as an individual, and we may share such aggregated, non-personally identifiable information, publicly or with our partners like publishers, advertisers, or connected websites (e.g., sharing information publicly to show trends about the general use of our Site or other Services).
4.3. User Profiles and Submissions.
Certain user profile information (e.g., your name, location, and any text, image, or video content that you have uploaded to the Services) may be displayed to other users to facilitate user interaction or to address your request for our Services. Your account privacy settings may allow you to limit the other users who can see Personal Information in your user profile and/or what information in your user profile is visible to others. Please remember that any content you upload to your public user profile, along with any other Personal Information or content that you voluntarily disclose online in a manner in which other users can view (e.g., on discussion boards, in messages or chat areas) becomes publicly available, and it may be indexable by search engines, or copied, forwarded, saved, or archived by anyone. Your username may also be displayed to other users if you send messages or comments, upload text or images, or share features publicly (e.g., a public watchlist) through the Services, and other users may be able to contact you through messages or comments.
4.4. Advertisers.
(a) Your Personal Information may be used for the presentation of advertisements. We may use ad networks to customize and display advertising on our Services. We may share certain information about you as a user (e.g., age, zip code, or other information we have collected or received) with certain ad networks and service providers to help them deliver more relevant content and advertisements through their networks. We may work with other companies for certain services, such as analytics or advertising, and you may be subject to their privacy policies as well, though you may be able to opt-out through them directly.
(b) Please note that opting-out of advertising cookies does not mean that you will not be served ads; you will continue to receive non-personalized ads.
(c) We may deliver files to you, through the Services from an ad network, called web beacons. Web beacons allow ad networks to provide anonymized, aggregated auditing, research, and reporting for us and for advertisers. Web beacons also enable ad networks to serve targeted advertisements to you when you visit other websites. Because your web browser must request these advertisements and web beacons from the ad network’s servers, these companies can view, edit, or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site. You may be able to opt-out of web beacon tracking conducted by third-parties through our Services by adjusting the Do Not Track settings on your browser; please note that we don’t control whether or how these third-parties comply with Do Not Track requests.
(d) Our offerings may include features or functionalities provided by third-parties, or may integrate or interact with third-party products and services (including via APIs, plug-ins, links, frames, embedding, or other interactions). In the process of providing such functionalities within our Services, your browser or other tools or technology may send certain information to those third-party providers. The use of these third-party-provided features or functionalities may be subject to those third parties’ own privacy policies. For example, we may use a third-party for ad serving, retargeting, remarketing, and/or for analytics, in which case such third-party may have access to your data, subject to its policies. These third-party vendors may use their own cookies and/or other third-party cookies together to (i) inform, optimize, and serve ads across the web based on your past visits to our Services and others; and (ii) report to us how your ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to our site.

We may share your Personal Information with these affiliated businesses only to the extent that it is related to such transaction or service.

4.7. Service Providers.
We reserve the right to provide access to your Personal Information and Usage Data to our trusted service providers that assist us with the operation and maintenance of our Site and other Services.
