Privacy Policy

Last Modified: Jun 15, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Watershed Technology, Inc. or its affiliated entities (“Watershed,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, or otherwise processes information relating to individuals and such individuals’ legal and privacy rights. Except as described in this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy applies to any and all websites, mobile applications, and any other electronic or digital products or other services that are made available by Watershed and that link to this Privacy Policy, and our offline services (collectively, the “Services”).

If the individual accessing or using the Services is doing so as the authorized user of a company to which we are providing the Services under a contract, your use may be subject to the terms of that contract or other writing between us and you or the company for whom you work and on whose behalf you interact with us. This Privacy Policy does not cover or impact the confidentiality, or our use, of our customers’ business content, data, or other proprietary information as defined in and governed by an applicable contract.

By accessing or using the Services, you are agreeing to the practices described in this Privacy Policy and the applicable Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the Services or provide Personal Data (defined below) to us. Please also see our Cookie Notice, which supplements this Policy.

1. Processing Activities

We may collect data from you directly, automatically when you visit the Services, and sometimes from third parties. Some of this data may be considered "Personal Information" or "Personal Data" under various applicable laws. We consider information that identifies you as a specific, identified individual to be Personal Data (such as your name, phone number, e-mail address), and we treat additional information, including IP addresses and cookie identifiers, as Personal Data where required by applicable law. Note that we may de-identify or pseudonymize Personal Data and this may mean that is considered to be non-personal by some applicable laws, such as by aggregating it or converting it to a code, sometimes using a mathematical function (commonly known as a "hash"). The code does not identify you directly, but it may be used to connect your activity through the Services or elsewhere online. We maintain and use de-identified data without attempting to re-identify it, except where permitted by applicable law, such as to determine whether our de-identification processes satisfy legal requirements. We will treat de-identified and pseudonymized data as non-personal to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law. If we combine non-personal data with Personal Data, then we will treat the combined information as Personal Data under this Privacy Policy. We may share non-personal data with third parties for any purpose in our discretion and as permitted by applicable law, including for advertising, research, and marketing purposes.

This Privacy Policy applies to the processing of Personal Data collected by us, including when you access or use our Services. For example, we may collect Personal Data when you:

  • Visit our Services that display or link to this Privacy Policy;
  • Visit our branded social media pages;
  • Receive communications from us or otherwise communicate with us, including but not limited to emails or phone calls;
  • Register for, attend, or take part in our events, webinars, programs, or trainings;
  • Are employed by a customer of our products and services where your information has been shared with us in our capacity as controller (for example, during the contracting process); or
  • Participate in surveys, research, or other similar data collection facilitated by us.

We also provide an enterprise sustainability platform. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected through Watershed’s sustainability climate platform, if any. Separate terms governing such platform describe the processing of Personal Data, if any, collected with respect to such products and services.

Our Services may contain links to other websites, applications, platforms, and services maintained by third parties. The information practices of these third parties, including the social media platforms that host our branded social media pages, are governed by the privacy policies of those third parties.

The Services may permit or facilitate interactions with an interactive third-party website or service (“Social Media”), such as enabling you to “like” or “share” content. If you choose to share content or otherwise post information from or via the Services to Social Media, that data may be public, and the third party may have access to data about you and your use of the Services. You may also choose to participate on Social Media in a way that connects that third-party service with the Services (such as posting to one of our pages on a Social Media site). Doing so may allow us to collect (or the third party to share) data about you. These third-party Social Media platforms may be able to collect certain data about your visits to the Services regardless of whether or not you affirmatively interact with the feature and whether or not you are logged into (or have) an account with the third-party platform. You will need to give Social Media providers your consent before they share your Personal Data with us if required by applicable law.

The information we receive in connection with such Social Media features is subject to this Privacy Policy. Your interactions with third parties through these types of Social Media features are governed by the privacy policies of those third parties, including your choices with regard to what is visible to others on that third party service and what Personal Information you agree that they can share.

2. What Data Do We Collect?

For a detailed description of the ways we and third parties collect information automatically and how it is used, please see our Cookie Notice. To disable sharing through cookies set on our site by third parties for advertising and analytics purposes, please adjust your settings by clicking on “Your Privacy Choices” in the footer.

  • To carry out any other purpose disclosed at the time of collection or with your consent.

4. When We Disclose Your Personal Data

Except as expressly prohibited by law, we may share non-personal information, such as, Usage Data, hashed or otherwise de-identified or pseudonymized data, and aggregated user statistics, with third parties in our discretion, including for targeted advertising purposes. 

We may share Personal Data as described below, as disclosed at the time you provide information, or otherwise with your consent: 

  • With vendors: We may disclose your Personal Data with vendors that perform services on our behalf, such as those that provide data storage, payment, technology support and services, customer service, analytics, fraud prevention, legal services, marketing services, and other service providers who use your Personal Data solely to provide services to us or to you.
  • For business transfers: We may disclose or transfer your Personal Data, including without limitation, during the course of any due diligence process, in connection with or in contemplation of, any merger, sale of company assets, consolidation, restructuring, bankruptcy, financing, acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company, or other company change. By providing your data, you understand and agree that we may transfer such data to the acquiring or successor entity without your further consent, except where required by law. 
  • With affiliates: We may disclose your Personal Data to our affiliates. Affiliates include our parent company (as applicable) and any other subsidiaries, joint venture partners or other companies that we control or that are under common control with us. Our affiliates may use the information we disclose in a manner consistent with this Policy.
  • With your consent or at your direction: We may disclose your Personal Data to nonaffiliated third parties based on your consent or at your direction. These third parties’ use of such information is subject to their respective privacy policies.  
  • With event partners: If you attend an event or webinar organized by us, or download or access an asset on our website, we may disclose your Personal Data with such event sponsor or partners that offer supplementary services to Watershed, to the extent you consent to such sharing (such as through the registration form or scanning an attendee badge at an in-person event).
  • Third party networks and websites: With third party social media networks and websites, so that Watershed can market and advertise on such third-party platforms and third party websites.
  • Public authorities: Under certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your Personal Data if we believe in good faith that it is required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
  • Other legal requirements: We may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to
    • Comply with a legal obligation;
    • Protect and defend the rights or property of Watershed, our agents and affiliates, or our employees or contractors;
    • Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Services; or
    • Protect against legal liability.

5. Online Third-Party Analytics and Tailored Advertising

Online Analytics

We may use third party web analytics services on the Services, such as those of Google Analytics. These vendors use the sort of technology described in “Usage Data” in Section 2 above to help us analyze how users use the Services, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive. The information collected by such technology will be disclosed to or collected directly by these vendors, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Services. We also use Google Analytics for certain purposes related to advertising, as described in the following section. You can learn about Google's practices by going to https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and opt out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Tailored Advertising

We may also allow third party advertising networks to place cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device to collect information about your use of the Services in order to (a) understand a viewer’s interests and to provide marketing to them on the Services and other websites and services; and (b) report how our marketing content impressions and interactions with these marketing impressions are related to visits to our online Services. Watershed may use cookies to show you ads for products or services that we think may interest you on devices you use and to track the performance of our ads.

We may also allow other unaffiliated parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google Analytics) to serve tailored marketing to you and to access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Services. Those parties that use these technologies may offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising as described below. You may receive tailored advertising on your computer through a web browser. Cookies may be associated with de-identified data linked to or derived from data you voluntarily have submitted to us (e.g., your email address) that we may disclose to a vendor in hashed, non-human-readable form.

To disable sharing through cookies set on our site by third parties for advertising and analytics purposes, please adjust your settings by clicking on “Your Privacy Choices” in the footer.

If you are interested in more information about tailored advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored marketing, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative's (“NAI”) Consumer Opt-Out Link (https://thenai.org/how-to-opt-out/), the Digital Advertising Alliance's (“DAA”) Consumer Opt-Out Link (https://optout.aboutads.info/), and/or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (https://youronlinechoices.eu/) to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. To exercise choices about how Google personalizes Display Advertising or to customize Google Display Network ads, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page (https://adssettings.google.com/anonymous?hl=en).

Please note that to the extent advertising technology is integrated into the Services, you may still receive advertising content even if you opt out of tailored advertising. In that case, the advertising content may not be tailored to your interests. Please also note that we do not control any of the above opt-out links and are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms. If your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit these opt-out pages, or if you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different computer, or change web browsers, your opt-out may no longer be effective.

Your information, including Personal Data, may be processed at Watershed’s operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. It means that this information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those from your jurisdiction, and data may be accessible to law enforcement and national security authorities under certain circumstances.

We have several offices in countries around the world including the United States, the UK, the EU and Australia. Where we transfer personal data from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland to countries that have not been found to provide an adequate level of protection, we do so using appropriate safeguards required by data protection law, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (with, for transfers from Switzerland, the amendments recognised by the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner) and, for transfers from the UK, the International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. We also implement supplementary measures where necessary following transfer risk assessments. You may contact us to obtain a copy of the relevant safeguards. We may rely on adequacy decisions where available (including, for transfers to the United States, certifications under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its UK Extension and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, where applicable). If we exceptionally rely on consent for a specific transfer, we will request your consent and explain the associated risks in advance.

7. Children

Our Services are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under 13 in the United States in a manner that would require parental consent under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you believe we have mistakenly or unintentionally collected Personal Data of a minor without appropriate consent, please contact us using the information in Section 13 (Contact Us) below.

8. How Long We Keep Your Personal Data

We will retain your Personal Data for as long as is reasonably necessary and appropriate for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and in accordance with applicable laws. We may also retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

9. Your Choices

We offer you certain choices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Data.

Marketing Communications

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails by following the directions in those emails. Please note that if you unsubscribe from marketing emails, we may still send you administrative emails (such as security alerts, service or account notices and material changes to our terms or policies) regarding the Services.

10. Security of Your Personal Data

The security of your Personal Data is important to us, but no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is fully secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data through administrative, physical, organizational, and technical measures, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You use the Services and provide us your information at your own risk.

Our Services may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

Watershed Controller List

  • Watershed Technology Limited (UK)
  • Watershed Technology GmbH (Germany)

14. Additional Information for Residents of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, this notice supplements Watershed’s Privacy Policy, and the following information applies to you.

Watershed is considered the “data controller” of the Personal Data we handle under this Privacy Policy (as that term is defined under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (“EU GDPR”), the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation as incorporated into UK law by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and the Data Protection Act 2018 (together, the “UK GDPR”), and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (“FADP”), as applicable). In other words, Watershed is responsible for deciding how to collect, use, and disclose Personal Data, subject to applicable law. The laws of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland require data controllers to tell you about the legal ground that they rely on for using, sharing, or disclosing your personal data. We process your Personal Data under the following legal bases:

  • Contractual Commitments: We may use, share, or disclose Personal Data to honor our contractual commitments to you. For example, we will process your Personal Data to comply with our agreements with you, and to honor our commitments in any contracts that we have with you;
  • Consent: You have given your consent for processing Personal Data for one or more specific purposes;
  • Legal obligations: Processing Personal Data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject; or
  • Legitimate interests: Processing Personal Data is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Watershed, such as customer service, certain promotional activities, analyzing and improving our business, providing security for the Services, preventing fraud, and managing legal issues.
  • Special Categories of Personal Data: Where we process special categories of personal data (such as data revealing racial or ethnic origin, health data, or biometric data used to uniquely identify you), we will only do so where one of the additional conditions in Article 9 of the EU GDPR or UK GDPR (or an equivalent provision under the FADP) applies — for example, your explicit consent or where processing is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest.

Your Rights

If you are a resident of the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the following rights:

  • Withdraw consent: If we have collected Personal Data with your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
  • Access: You have the right to request access to Personal Data we collected about you and information about its sources, purposes, and sharing.
  • Correction: You have the right to request that we correct the Personal Data we hold about you if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • Erasure: You have the right to request that we erase data we have collected from you. Please note that we may have a reason to deny your deletion request or delete data in a more limited way than you anticipated, e.g., because of a legal obligation to retain it.
  • Portability: You have the right, in certain circumstances, to request that we provide your Personal Data to you in a format that can be transferred to another entity.
  • Restrict Processing: You have the right, in certain circumstances, to request that we limit our processing of your Personal Data if you are (1) contesting the accuracy of your Personal Data, (2) asserting that our processng is unlawful, (3) asserting that we no longer need to keep the information for reasons related to the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or you object to our processing. You have the right, in certain circumstances, to request that we limit our processing of your Personal Data if you are contesting the accuracy of your Personal Data; asserting that our processing is unlawful; asserting that we no longer need to keep the information for reasons related to the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or you object to our processing.
  • Object: You have the right to object to our processing if we are processing your Personal Data based on legitimate interests, using your Personal Data for direct marketing (including profiling), or processing your Personal Data for purposes of scientific or historical research and statistics.
  • Automated Decision-Making: You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. Watershed does not currently make decisions of this kind using your Personal Data; if this changes, we will provide further information and, where required, obtain your consent.
  • Right to Lodge a Complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority — for example, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the United Kingdom (www.ico.org.uk), your local data protection authority in the EEA (a list of authorities is available via the European Data Protection Board at https://edpb.europa.eu), or the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) (www.edoeb.admin.ch). However, we encourage you to contact us first, and we will do our best to resolve your concern.

If you would like to submit a request to exercise any of the rights that are available to you, ask a question, or contact us, please email us at privacy@watershedclimate.com. When you contact us, please indicate in which country and/or state you reside.

Verification Procedures: Before responding to a request, we may need to ask for additional information and may send you an email to verify your identity and confirm that you submitted the request. We may also need additional information to verify that your authorized agent or representative has the authority to make a request on your behalf. We will respond to your request within the time period required under the law. We will use the information you provide for verification only for the purpose of verification. We may have a reason under the law why we do not have to respond to your request or respond to it in a more limited way than you anticipated. If we do, we will explain that to you in our response.

Please note that while we will carefully assess every request we receive, your rights may differ depending on where you live and may be limited by local law.

If you have any unresolved privacy concerns that we have not addressed satisfactorily after contacting us, you may have the right to appeal our decision or contact your local data protection authority to lodge a complaint, depending on the country in which you reside.

15. Additional Information for California Residents

This California Privacy Notice is updated and effective as of: June 15, 2026

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, and any implementing regulations adopted under these (collectively, the “CCPA”) requires us to provide additional information to California residents. This Section 15 only applies to you if you are a California resident using our Services as described in Section 1 above. Capitalized terms and terms in quotation marks, including “Personal Information”, used in this California Privacy Notice have the same meanings given to them in the CCPA, unless otherwise defined. For information about job applicant data applicable to California residents, please see the section below under “Privacy Notice for California Job Applicants”.

Rights of California Residents

If you are a resident of California, this notice supplements Watershed’s Privacy Policy and provides you the following rights:

  • Right to Know: Know what Personal Information about you we have collected, disclosed, or sold/shared, if any, and to request to access specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you. In order to have us provide specific pieces of information, we will require a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose Personal Information is the subject of the request.
  • Right to Correction: Correct inaccurate Personal Information we hold about you.
  • Right to Deletion: Delete Personal Information we have collected from you. Please note that as part of the verification process, once you submit a request to delete, we may follow up and require you to confirm that you want your information deleted.
  • Right to not be discriminated or retaliated against for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
  • Right to Opt-Out of the Sale of Personal Information or Sharing for Cross Contextual Behavioral Advertising: California consumers have the right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information. Watershed does not sell your Personal Information for monetary compensation, but as discussed above, Watershed engages in certain online advertising practices (and third-party analytics and similar activities), which may be considered a “sale” or “share” for cross-context behavioral advertising (i.e., targeted advertising), whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration. If you are a California consumer and would like to exercise your Right to Opt-Out of “Sale” or “Sharing”, please email us at privacy@watershedclimate.com. When you contact us, please indicate in which country and/or state you reside.
    • To disable sharing through cookies set by 3rd parties that may be considered “Sales” or “Sharing” under the CCPA, you can modify your cookie settings by accessing the Privacy Choices link through our website footer.
    • In addition, the Digital Advertising Alliance also offers tools for California consumers to send requests under the CCPA to opt out of the sale of Personal Information by some or all of the participating companies https://www.privacyrights.info/).
  • Right to Limit the Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information: The CCPA also allows you to limit the use or disclosure of your Sensitive Personal Information if your Sensitive Personal Information is used for certain purposes. Please note that we do not use or disclose Sensitive Personal Information other than for purposes for which you cannot opt out under the CCPA, and we therefore do not offer this right at this time.

You may exercise your rights by emailing us at privacy@watershedclimate.com. When you contact us, please indicate in which country and/or state you reside.

Verifying Your Requests

We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity based upon the information you provide and the type of request you are making. When you exercise your “Right to Know”, “Right to Delete”, and/or “Right to Correct”, we may ask that you provide us with information, beyond your full name, and will verify that your email address is valid and active, in order to verify your identity and fulfill your request. If we are unable to verify that the individual submitting the request is the same individual about whom we have collected information (or someone authorized by that individual to act on their behalf) we will not be able to process the request.

Authorized Agents

If you are an authorized representative submitting a request on a user’s behalf, please complete the applicable request by emailing us at privacy@watershedclimate.com. We will follow up to request a signed, written permission signed by the individual who is the subject of the request authorizing you to make the request on their behalf. The written permission must state your full legal name, the full legal name of the individual who is the subject of the request and needs to be clear about the permission granted. Alternatively, you may submit a copy of a power of attorney under Probate Code sections 4000-4465. In either case, please also indicate in your email the nature of your request. The consumer’s identity, in addition to your own, will need to be independently verified for us to be able to fulfill your request. We may also ask the consumer to directly confirm with us that they provided you permission to submit a request. Please keep in mind that if we do not receive adequate proof that you are authorized to act on the consumer’s behalf, we may deny the request.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Controls

Please note that we also respond to and abide by opt-out preference signals sent through the Global Privacy Control. Any opt-out preferences you have exercised through these methods will only apply to the specific device/browser on which you made them. Please see the California Privacy Protection Agency’s website at https://cppa.ca.gov for more information on valid Global Privacy Controls. We do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.

Data Retention

For information on how long we retain Personal Information about you, please see Section 8 (How Long We Keep Your Personal Data) above.

Users Younger than 16

We do not have actual knowledge that we “sell” or “share” the Personal Information of children under 16.

Last Updated and Effective: June 15, 2026

We Use Cookies and Tracking Technologies.

When you visit or interact with Watershed and our websites, mobile applications and other online features and services (“Services”), we and third parties (including service providers, third party advertising and analytics companies), may use several common tracking tools that collect information, including personal information, about you and your use of the Sites, over time and across different websites. We encourage you to read this Notice carefully to learn how Watershed and other third parties use these technologies, your privacy settings and the other options you have. For more information about our privacy practices, please see our Privacy Policy.

Types of Cookies and Tracking Technologies We Use and For What Purposes

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Services and store certain information. Cookies are small files that are placed on your computer, mobile device, or any other device by a website, containing the details of your browsing history on that website. Tracking technologies used are beacons, tags (e.g., pixels), and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyze our Services.

Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser. We may use first-party cookies and third party cookies. First party cookies are cookies administered by Watershed, and third party cookies are administered by third parties.

We use both session and persistent cookies for the purposes set out below:

Necessary/essential. These technologies are essential to provide you with services available through our Services and cannot be turned off.

Functional. These technologies allow us to remember choices you make when you use our Services, such as remembering your login details or language preference. The purpose of these technologies is to provide you with a more personal experience and to avoid you having to re-enter your preferences every time you use our Services.

Tracking and performance. These technologies are used to track information about traffic to our Services and how users use our Services. The information gathered via these cookies may directly or indirectly identify you as an individual visitor. This is because the information collected is typically linked to a pseudonymous identifier associated with the device you use to access our Services. We may also use these cookies to test new pages, features, or new functionality of our Services to see how our users react to them.

Advertising. Advertising cookies track activity across Services in order to (a) understand a viewer’s interests and to provide marketing to them on the Services and other websites and services; and (b) report how our marketing content impressions and interactions with these marketing impressions are related to visits to our online Services. Watershed may use cookies to show you ads for products or services that we think may interest you on devices you use and to track the performance of our ads. If you opt out of these technologies, you will still receive ads, but they may be less personalized. Under certain circumstances, these may be considered “sales”, “sharing” or “targeted advertising” under applicable state laws.

We or our third party vendors also may use these tracking technologies in emails to our customers to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.

How to Manage Cookies and Tracking Technologies

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some parts of our Services. As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather additional information through other methods, subject to our obligations under applicable laws. We do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.

To disable sharing through cookies set on our site by third parties for advertising and analytics purposes, please adjust your settings by clicking on “Your Privacy Choices” in the footer.

If you are interested in more information about tailored advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored marketing, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative's (“NAI”) Consumer Opt-Out Link (https://thenai.org/how-to-opt-out/), the Digital Advertising Alliance's (“DAA”) Consumer Opt-Out Link (https://optout.aboutads.info/), and/or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (https://youronlinechoices.eu/) to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. To exercise choices about how Google personalizes Display Advertising or to customize Google Display Network ads, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page (https://adssettings.google.com/anonymous?hl=en).

Please note that to the extent advertising technology is integrated into the Services, you may still receive advertising content even if you opt out of tailored advertising. In that case, the advertising content may not be tailored to your interests. Please also note that we do not control any of the above opt-out links and are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms. If your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit these opt-out pages, or if you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different computer, or change web browsers, your opt-out may no longer be effective.
