We collect personal information directly from you when you sign-up for an account, submit information on our Sites, or communicate with us.
b. Personal information collected automatically
When you visit our Sites, we or our third-party advertising and analytics partners and service providers may collect browsing history, site usage data, and other information regarding your online activity automatically through a variety of technologies, such as cookies, tags, SDKs or scripts. This typically includes data about your browser or device's IP address, user agent string, your internet service provider or mobile carrier and the type of handheld or mobile device you use, the date and time of your visit, the pages you view immediately before and after you access our Site, the areas or pages of our Site that you visit, the amount of time you spend viewing or using our Site, keystrokes, mouse movements, form field entries, recordings of chat sessions or your use of and inputs to other AI-supported tools, and other use and overall engagement with our Site.
c. Personal information collected from third parties
We may collect or receive personal information from third parties such as advertising partners and data providers or aggregators. We use this information to help us maintain the accuracy of the information we collect, personalize your experience with the Sites, provide private purchase and sale transaction services, prevent fraud, and for internal business analysis or other business purposes.
In addition to the information described above, we may collect behavioral statistical information when you use our online services. When you connect to our Sites and Apps, we may capture the IP address and device information, the type of operating system and browser you use, the website you came from, your activity with our online Services, and the website you visit next. We or our third-party partners may use cookies, web beacons or other technologies to collect and store information about your visit and use of our Sites.
We may also use cookies and other online tracking technology such as clear GIFs. Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to an individual's computer or device for record keeping purposes so that we can track Site and user activity. The use of cookies is an industry standard and you will find them at most websites. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of users. In contrast to cookies, clear GIFs are typically one pixel, transparent images on a webpage, email or other messages, used to help recognize users, determine traffic patterns, measure Site engagement, and to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications.
Our combination of information: We may combine personal information that we receive from various sources listed above. For example, we may combine personal information that we collect from you offline with personal information we collect from you through our Services.

We use, disclose, and protect combined personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

There is no common understanding of how to respond to these signals. Therefore, currently our Sites do not respond to “do not track” signals. If you do not wish to be tracked, disabling or deleting cookies may limit some forms of tracking. Disabling or deleting cookies may affect your user experience on our Site including preventing the usage of certain features or functions.
8. Links to Other Sites

We partner with certain third parties to collect information to engage in analytics, auditing, research and reporting. These third parties may use server logs, web beacons, tags, pixels, mobile advertising IDs (such as Apple's IDFA or Google's Advertising ID), and similar technologies, and they may set and access cookies on your computer or other device. In particular, our Services use Google Analytics to help collect and analyze certain information for the purposes discussed above. You may learn more about Google Analytics Data practices by clicking here and opt out of the use of cookies in web browsers by Google Analytics by clicking here.
We may also use analytics providers that engage in heat mapping and that record mouse movements, clicks, scrolls, and keystrokes during your use of the Services. These analytics help us identify and address technical issues and understand usage of our Services, which we use to improve the Services for you.
We also partner with third parties to provide targeted advertising services that are customized based on your online activities over time and across unaffiliated websites, mobile apps and devices (commonly referred to as "interest-based advertising"). Our advertising partners may collect information about your activities on our Services on your current device and combine it with information about your activities on other websites, mobile apps, and devices. They may collect such information using server logs, cookies, web beacons, tags, pixels, mobile advertising IDs (such as Apple's IDFA or Google's Advertising ID), cross-device linking, and similar technologies. For example, our advertising partners may use the fact that you visited our Sites to target advertising to you on non-UACC websites and mobile apps on your current device or on other devices you use. For information about interest-based advertising practices, including privacy and confidentiality, visit the Network Advertising Initiative website or the Digital Advertising Alliance website.
The use of online tracking mechanisms by third parties is subject to those third parties' own privacy policies, and not this Policy. You can opt out of interest-based advertising in web browsers and mobile apps on your current browser or device by following the instructions below.
- Web Browser Opt-Out.To opt out in web browsers, please visit optout.aboutads.info and optout.networkadvertising.org. To help preserve your choices, you can install the "Protect My Choices" extension that is available at http://www.aboutads.info/PMC.
- Mobile Application Opt-Out. To opt out in mobile apps, you can adjust the advertising preferences on your mobile device. For example:
- In iOS 7+, visit Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Limit Ad Tracking.
- In Android, visit Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of interest-based ads or Opt out of Personalized Advertising.
You can also opt out for participating companies by downloading the Digital Advertising Alliance's AppChoices tool here and following the instructions in the app.
Please note that the opt-outs described above will apply only to the specific browser or device from which you opt out, and therefore you will need to opt out separately on all of your browsers and devices. If you delete or reset your cookies or mobile advertising identifiers, change browsers (including upgrading certain browsers), or use a different device, any opt-out cookie or tool may no longer work and you will need to opt out again. If you choose to opt out, you will still see advertisements while browsing online, however the advertisements may be less relevant to you and your interests. Although our Services currently do not respond to "do not track" browser headers, you can limit tracking by these third parties and by taking the steps discussed above. If you are a California, Nevada, Virginia, Colorado or Connecticut resident, additional information about opting out of targeted advertising is included in our State Privacy Notice.
