Our service providers may, from time to time, supplement the information we collect directly from you on our Sites with records obtained from third-party vendors. This information is used for various purposes, including improving our ability to serve you, tailoring advertisements to your interests, and offering opportunities that may be relevant to you. When service providers combine this information with personal information we collect on the Sites, it is treated as personal information, and we apply this Privacy Policy to the combined information, unless we have explicitly disclosed otherwise.

C. Information Third Parties Provide About You
6. Online Tracking
Some content or applications, including advertisements, provided with the Services are served by third parties such as advertisers, ad networks, content providers, and application providers. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, or other tracking technologies to collect information about your online activities across different websites and services. The information they collect may be linked to your personal information or remain anonymous. Third parties may use this information to provide interest-based advertising or targeted content. We do not control these technologies or how they are used, and any questions should be directed to the responsible provider.
Our Sites use tracking and analytics tools, including Google AdWords, Google Analytics, Postie, and YouTube plug-ins. Google AdWords and Postie enable remarketing to previous visitors by displaying personalized ads based on prior visits. Google Analytics collects information such as pages visited, visit frequency, and referral sites to help improve our Websites. YouTube plug-ins allow video content embedding, which may transmit information to YouTube servers. We do not control or access the information collected by these third parties and encourage users to review their privacy policies.
Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature, signaling that you do not want your activity tracked. Our Services currently do not respond to DNT signals. You may opt out of receiving targeted advertising through platforms such as the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or manage ad preferences via Google Ads Settings. Additionally, commercial and advertising emails we send include an opt-out mechanism, though this does not affect tracking for online or digital advertising unrelated to email.
7. Text Messaging and Alerts – Opting In and Out
By providing your phone number, you consent to receive marketing and informational texts or calls, including auto-dialed messages, from us or partners. Opt-in is voluntary; standard messaging rates may apply. You can opt-out anytime by replying STOP or adjusting device settings. Numbers are never shared with third parties.
