Please note that although we will not sell your personal information (as those terms are defined in the CCPA) after you submit a Do Not Sell Request, we will continue to share some personal information with service providers. These service providers help us perform a host of services, including, but not limited to, advertising-related functions such as measuring the effectiveness of our ads, managing how many times you may see an ad, reporting on the performance of our ads, ensuring services are working correctly and securely, providing aggregate statistics and analytics, improving when and where you may see ads and/or reducing ad fraud.

Additionally, although submitting a Do Not Sell Request will opt you out of the future sale of your personal information, it will not opt you out of the use of previously collected and sold personal information, nor will it opt you out of all interest-based advertising on our sites and applications or elsewhere.
