We do not “sell” information as most people would commonly understand that term, meaning we do not, and will not, disclose your Personal Information in direct exchange for money or some other form of payment. We may “share” Personal Information for “interest-based advertising” or “cross-context behavioral advertising”. In other words, we may share your Personal Information with a third party to help serve personalized content or ads that may be more relevant to your interests, and to perform other advertising-related services such as enabling our partners to serve such personalized content.
