3. Your Rights and Choices
You have many rights and choices regarding the data we collect about you, including the right to opt-out of us sharing certain data about you.
Opt-Out of Sharing
You may submit a request to opt-out of us sharing your information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes, such as technology services (when they are not acting merely as our service providers) for ad distribution, ad optimization (defined as the tailoring, targeting (i.e., behavioral, contextual, and retargeting), analyzing, managing, reporting, and optimizing of ads), or list matching.
