We may collect certain personal information automatically when you use the Services, such as your Internet protocol (IP) address, device identifiers, cookie identifiers, other unique identifiers, location information (including approximate location derived from IP address), and Internet service provider.

- Pixel Tags/Web Beacons. A pixel tag (also known as a web beacon) is a piece of code embedded in the Services that collects information about engagement on the Services. The use of a pixel allows us to record, for example, that a user has visited a particular web page. We may also include web beacons in emails to understand whether messages have been opened, acted on, or forwarded.
See “Your Privacy Choices” below to understand your choices regarding these Technologies.
Personal Information We Collect from Third-Party Sources

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We provide our Services in the United States only and do not purposefully direct activities toward the citizens of the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and/or the United Kingdom.
All personal information processed by us may be transferred, processed, and stored anywhere in the world, including but not limited to the United States or other countries, which may have data protection laws that are different from the laws where you live. We endeavor to safeguard your personal information consistent with the requirements of applicable laws.
If we transfer personal information that originates in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and/or the United Kingdom to a country that has not been found to provide an adequate level of protection under applicable data protection laws, one of the safeguards we may use to support such transfer is the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information in violation of applicable law, we will delete any personal information we have collected, unless we have a legal obligation to keep it.
THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES/APPLICATIONS
