The Services may integrate third-party advertising technologies that allow for delivering relevant content and advertising on the Services and other websites you visit and other applications you use. The ads may be based on various factors such as the content of the page you are visiting, the information you enter such as your age and gender, your searches, demographic data, user-generated content, and other information we collect from you.
