We may convert your email address, telephone number, or other information into a unique value and have these third-party platforms match this unique value with a user on their platform or with other data they may have. This matching enables us to deliver advertisements to you and others on these platforms. You also can request that we refrain from using your personal information in this way by contacting us through email.

- the purposes for which the personal information was collected, including to provide our products and services;
- your marketing preferences and how you engage with our Brands;
