  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or loss. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISING

Third-Party Ad Networks

We work with third-party advertising partners — including major social media advertising platforms (such as Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, and X) and our programmatic advertising partner, StackAdapt — to serve advertisements on our Site and on third-party websites, apps, and platforms. This enables us and these partners to target advertisements about our advocacy campaigns and content that may interest you. These partners may use cookies, pixels, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and personalize advertising content. These technologies are governed by each partner’s own privacy policy, not this one. We may provide these advertising partners with information about your activity on our Site for these purposes.

Users in the United States may opt out of many third-party ad networks. For example, you may go to the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Consumer Choice Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by DAA companies. You may also go to the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) Consumer Opt-Out Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by NAI members.

Opting out from one or more companies listed on the DAA Consumer Choice Page or the NAI Consumer Opt-Out Page will opt you out from those companies’ delivery of interest-based content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through our Site or on other websites. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you opt out on the DAA or NAI websites, your opt-out may not be effective. Additional information is available on the DAA’s website at www.aboutads.info or the NAI’s website at www.networkadvertising.org.

Online Behavioral Advertising and How You Can Opt-Out

We work with the advertising partners named above (including our social media advertising platforms and StackAdapt), who may use cookies, pixels, and web beacons, along with data collected on our Site, to customize advertisements to you here and on other websites or apps in their networks. These customized advertisements may promote our advocacy campaigns and content, as well as content from third-party partners. Some of these ads are online behavioral advertising, which uses non-personal behavioral information to serve ads more likely to interest you. Depending on the features we enable (such as Meta’s Advanced Matching or similar tools offered by other partners), some of these partners may match a hashed or encrypted version of information you’ve provided us, such as your email address, to their own user data for ad targeting and measurement. We limit these partners from using information we provide them for any purpose other than assisting with our advertising efforts.

For more information about these third-party advertising companies’ privacy policies, visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s website at www.networkadvertising.org. If you prefer to not receive targeted advertising, you can opt-out of network advertising programs that use your information. To do so, please visit: the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page. You can also opt out directly through StackAdapt, our programmatic advertising partner, at stackadapt.com/opt-out-of-sale-targeted-advertising.
