5. Interest-Based Advertising
About Interest-Based Advertising
We partner with third party advertisers, as well as analytics and measurement partners, to serve and display advertising on the Services and elsewhere online across different sites and services.
These partners may use cookies and similar technologies on the Services and elsewhere online to collect and share information about your activities across different websites, mobile applications, and services to provide you with relevant advertising (“Interest-Based Advertising” or “IBA”). For example, we may conduct analysis on your behavior in order to provide you with Interest-Based Advertising both on and off the Services. We may also disclose non-cookie-based information for advertising purposes, including for Interest-Based Advertising. For example, we may disclose information to social networking platforms, so that they may send tailored communications on our behalf via their platforms. To serve and display advertising relevant to your location, where permitted by law and depending on the Services you use, the Services may also track your device’s precise geolocation by responding to beacons or inaudible signals sent to your device’s microphone. This is typically done based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
Opting Out of IBA
You can opt out of receiving some type of ads and third-party collection of data for IBA from your device across unaffiliated services by managing your preferences at https://youradchoices.com/control.
You can also manage third-party cookies that collect data from affiliated websites and mobile applications for Interest-Based Advertising by setting your preferences on the website, mobile application, or other service via “Privacy Settings” or “Cookie Settings.”
Precise Geolocation Data for IBA
As noted previously and in accordance with local laws, we may disclose your geolocation information, including precise geolocation information, to service providers that perform certain functions or services on our behalf and to third parties so that they may provide you with geographically relevant advertising.
If you wish to stop the further collection of your geolocation information for IBA, please opt-out using your device settings, as noted below:
Opt-out or Withdraw Consent for Precise Geolocation Data for IBA
To opt out of the tracking of your device geolocation and/or precise geolocation data, please visit your device settings. Turning off access to geolocation and precise geolocation data may disable or interfere with certain functionality or services.
For Android users, please see the following link for instructions on how to opt-out of or withdraw consent to geolocation data collection from your settings https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6179507?hl=en.
For iOS users, please see the following link for instructions on how to opt-out of or withdraw consent to geolocation data collection from your settings https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207092
We work with certain third-party social media providers to offer you their social networking services through our Services. For example, you can use third-party social networking services to share information about your experience on our Services with your friends and followers on those social networking services. These social networking services may be able to collect information about you, including your activity on our Services. These third-party social networking services also may notify your friends, both on our Services and on the social networking services themselves, that you are a user of our Services or about your use of our Services, in accordance with applicable law and their own privacy policies. If you choose to access or make use of third-party social networking services, we may receive information about you that you have made available to those social networking services, including information about your contacts on those social networking services. Your interactions with those social networking services are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the relevant service.
You also may be able to link an account from a social networking service (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, or Snapchat) to an account through our Services. This may allow you to use your credentials from the other site or service to sign into certain features on our Services. If you link your account from a third-party site or service, we may collect information from those third-party accounts, and any information that we collect will be governed by this Privacy Notice.
7. Links to Other Websites
The Services may contain links to other websites or online services that are operated and maintained by third parties and that are not under our control or maintained by us. Such links do not constitute an endorsement by us of those other websites, the content displayed therein, or the persons or entities associated therewith. This Privacy Notice does not apply to this third-party content. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party websites or services.
8. Data Security and Data Integrity
The security and confidentiality of your personal information is very important to us. We have implemented technical and organizational safeguards designed to appropriately protect your personal information against accidental, unauthorized, or unlawful access, use, loss, destruction, or damage. Still, no system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
As a result, while we strive to protect your information and privacy, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to the Services and cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of your information.
9. Data Transfers
When we transfer your personal information to third parties as described in this Privacy Notice, some of these parties may be located in countries other than your own, such as the United States, whose privacy and data protection laws may not be equivalent to those in your country of residence. When we transfer your personal information to other countries, we apply appropriate safeguards, to protect your information in accordance with applicable laws. For example, some we implement measures such as standard data protection contractual clauses to ensure that any transferred personal information remains protected and secure. A copy of these clauses can be obtained by emailing dataprivacy@jonesentities.net. If you would like to know more about the processing of your personal information and whether your personal information is transferred to a third country, please contact us using any of the methods described in Contact Us.
10. Data Retention
We will retain your information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out above, considering criteria such as applicable rules on statute of limitations, any legal requirements to retain your personal information in light of compliance obligations, any relevant litigation or regulatory investigations and to enable us to defend or bring potential legal claims, the sensitivity of the relevant information, and the duration of your use of the Services.
11. Children’s Privacy
Our Site and other Services are intended for a general audience and are not targeted to or intended for use by children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children as defined by local law. If we learn that a child has provided us with Personal Information, we will delete it or otherwise comply with applicable law. If you are a parent or legal guardian and think that your child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us so that we can take steps to delete their Personal Information. As a parent, you may also exercise privacy rights on behalf of your child by using the process outlined in the Exercising Your Rights section.
12. Communications Preferences and Other Choices
You may choose to receive promotional emails, text messages, newsletters, push notifications, and similar communications from us. You may opt out of receiving commercial emails by clicking on the opt-out or “unsubscribe” link included in the commercial emails you receive. If applicable, you may opt out of receiving marketing text messages by replying “STOP.” You may also opt out of receiving push notifications by turning off push notifications through your device settings.
If you have multiple accounts or relationships with us, you may need to opt out separately for each account and relationship in relation to these choices. In addition, if you would like to opt out of receiving push notifications on all of your devices, you must turn off the feature on each device.
Please note that opt-out requests may take some time to be effective where permitted by applicable law. Your opt-out requests will not apply to messages that you request or that are not commercial in nature. For example, we may contact you concerning any purchases you have made with us, even if you opt out of receiving unsolicited commercial email messages.
You may also have choices available to you to opt out of the collection of your geolocation information, whether collected through location services, Bluetooth, or microphone access technology. Where collected, this information may be used in accordance with local laws to serve and display advertising relevant to your location. To understand your choices and opt out if desired, please visit your device settings.
13. Your Privacy Rights
Certain laws may grant you rights to control your Personal Information. Consistent with these laws, Provider gives you options to access, edit, or remove certain information, as well as choices about how we contact you.
Although some of these rights apply generally, certain rights will only apply to limited individuals or circumstances. We may reject your request if these rights are not available in your state or jurisdiction.

Right to Opt-In
- You may be entitled to opt-in to any processing of sensitive information.
Right to Non-Discrimination
You have the right to not experience discrimination from us for exercising your privacy rights. What we mean by “discrimination” is denying you access to all of our Services.
However, limiting use of, or deleting, your Personal Information may restrict the purposes or uses that rely on that information.
Do-Not-Track Signals
Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the websites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. Because there currently is no industry standard concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals, we currently do not take action in response to these signals. If and when a final standard is established and accepted, we will reassess how to respond to these signals.
14. Exercising Your Privacy Rights
