7. Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information / Targeted Advertising
Certain U.S. privacy laws define “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” broadly.
Under some of these laws, using cookies or similar technologies to disclose information to advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising may qualify as a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising even when Plonty does not receive money in exchange for the information.
We do not sell customer lists or personal information in the traditional sense of selling personal information for money.
However, to the extent that our advertising practices constitute a sale, sharing or targeted advertising under applicable law, eligible consumers may have the right to opt out.
Where required, Plonty will provide an appropriate privacy-choice or “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” mechanism through the website.
8. Global Privacy Control
Where required by applicable law and technically supported, we will recognize browser-based Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as requests to opt out of certain sales, sharing or targeted advertising associated with that browser or device.
Because GPC settings are generally browser- and device-specific, you may need to enable the signal separately on each browser or device you use.
