We may combine the information we collect through the Platform with data collected automatically or received from third parties and use that combined information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

De-identified or aggregated data may be used for any purpose, including research and marketing, and may be shared with third parties such as advertisers, promotional partners, sponsors, and others.

ONLINE AND MOBILE APP ADVERTISING

Online Advertising

We may allow third-party advertising services (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google Ads and others) to place relevant and targeted advertisements on our Platform. These ads may be displayed based on factors such as the content you are viewing, the information you provide, your searches, demographic details, and other data we collect. Advertisements may be tailored based on your real-time activity or your activity across different websites and services over time. We may also link cookies to anonymized data based on information you've shared (such as your email address) and share this data in a non-human-readable form with advertising partners to serve you more relevant ads on other websites and mobile apps. We do not control cookies or tracking technologies set by unaffiliated third parties on your device. For more information on managing browser-based tailored ads, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative's Consumer Opt-Out or the Digital Advertising Alliance's Consumer Opt-Out to manage how you receive targeted advertising from participating companies. To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or to customize Google Ads, visit Google Ads Settings. For other ways to opt out of targeted advertising in compliance with applicable laws, see section 5(c) below. Please note that opt-out choices apply to each browser and device you use, so you must opt out for each device and browser. These opt-out mechanisms do not apply to ads in mobile apps. See the "Mobile App Advertising" section for details on opting out of in-app advertising.

Mobile App Advertising

You may encounter personalized ads within mobile apps, including those for Lilac or other related apps. We may use third-party service providers to serve these ads or for mobile app analytics. Each mobile operating system (iOS, Android, and Windows) offers its own guidelines for disabling in-app targeted ads. As we do not control these platform-specific settings, we recommend consulting the support materials or device settings for the relevant operating system to find information on how to opt out of personalized in-app advertising.

Notice Concerning Do Not Track (DNT)

Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy feature available in certain web browsers, allowing users to request that their online activity not be tracked. While we are committed to providing meaningful choices about the data we collect for third-party purposes, we currently do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals. For more details on DNT, please visit relevant resources. Note that DNT is separate from the legally-required browser-based "preference signal" mentioned in the "Your Rights and Choices" section below.
