How we use your information
Our web site uses the data we collect for three basic purposes: to operate our business and
provide (including improving and personalizing) the services we offer, to send communications,
including promotional communications, and to display advertising. In carrying out these
purposes, we combine data we collect through the various web site services you use to give you a
more seamless, consistent and personalized experience. However, to enhance privacy, we have
built in technological and procedural safeguards designed to prevent certain data combinations.
For example, we store data we collect from you when you are unauthenticated (not signed in)
separately from any account information that directly identifies you, such as your name, email
address or phone number.
Management of personal data
You can view or edit your personal data online for many of our services. You can also make
choices about our collection and use of your data. How you can access or control your personal
data will depend on which services you use. You can choose whether you wish to receive
promotional communications from our web site by email, SMS, physical mail, and telephone. If you
receive promotional email or SMS messages from us and would like to opt out, you can do so by
following the directions in that message. You can also make choices about the receipt of
promotional email, telephone calls, and postal mail by visiting and signing into Company
Promotional Communications Manager, which allows you to update contact information, manage
contact preferences, opt out of email subscriptions, and choose whether to share your contact
information with our partners. These choices do not apply to mandatory service communications
that are part of certain web site services.
Sharing your information
We share your personal data with your consent or as necessary to complete any transaction or
provide any service you have requested or authorized. For example, we share your content with
third parties when you tell us to do so. When you provide payment data to make a purchase, we
will share payment data with banks and other entities that process payment transactions or
provide other financial services, and for fraud prevention and credit risk reduction. In
addition, we share personal data among our controlled affiliates and subsidiaries. We also share
personal data with vendors or agents working on our behalf for the purposes described in this
statement. For example, companies we've hired to provide customer service support or assist in
protecting and securing our systems and services may need access to personal data in order to
provide those functions. In such cases, these companies must abide by our data privacy and
security requirements and are not allowed to use personal data they receive from us for any
other purpose. We may also disclose personal data as part of a corporate transaction such as a
merger or sale of assets.
