Advertising services providers by partners
We advertise in a number of ways, including online through managed social media presences, and on other unaffiliated sites and mobile applications. To understand how our advertising campaigns are performing, and better understand the visitors to our website we work with partners who provide us with advertising services. We collect information via our advertising service providers to help us understand how users interact with our services, serve advertisements on our behalf across the internet, and measure the performance of these advertisements.

Social media and APIs
Our website includes social media features such as the Facebook ‘like’ button, Twitter, Google+, and widgets, such as the share button or interactive mini-programs that run on our site. These features may collect your IP address, which pages you visit on our site, and how long. If you’re a member of a social media site, the interfaces may allow the social media site to connect your visits to this site with other personal information. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our website. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the third party providing it and to the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for the actions of those third parties.
We may provide an application programming interface (API) to enable third-party applications to interface with our websites. Some applications enable you to interact with us through the API in a way that requires you to log in. To do this, most of these applications will direct you through a process where you can let the application connect to your account.
If you allow an application to connect to your account on our websites, including if you set up your account on our website using an API with a third-party social media platform, that application will be able to access information that you can see when you are logged into our websites. You should only allow applications you trust to access your account on our websites.
If you set up your account on our websites using an API with a third-party social media platform, you also consent to us obtaining and using your information from such platform.
