Our clients may advertise to and communicate with their own customers, or on behalf of their customers, through various media channels, like direct mail, email, display ads, or social media.  

 

Most of the information that we collect is not collected from our websites, but rather from data suppliers and partners, our clients and their own data services partners.

We also sometimes collect or work with other companies that collect (in addition to IP addresses) anonymous or pseudonymous identifiers such as cookie identifiers or mobile identifiers. We also sometimes work with other companies that may combine various information they receive from us (which they may de-identify or obfuscate) with cookie identifiers or mobile identifiers, such as device-based IDFAs and Android Ad IDs, including to better target advertising and content.
