  • Communicate with you. We use your personal information to communicate with you via different methods (e.g., by phone, email, chat).
  • Fraud Prevention and Credit Risks. We use personal information to prevent and detect fraud and abuse in order to protect the security of our customers, Reps, Participating Third Parties, and others. We may also use scoring methods to assess and manage credit risks
  • Internet –Based Ads. Interest-based ads are sometimes referred to as personalized or targeted ads. We show interest-based ads to display features, products, and services that might be of interest to you. We do not use information that personally identifies you to display interest-based ads.
  • To serve you interest-based ads, we use information such as your interactions with the Reps websites or Reps services. We do not use information which on its own identifies you, such as name or e-mail address, to serve interest-based ads.
  • We use cookies, pixels, and other technologies (collectively, "cookies"), which enable us to understand the effectiveness of the interest-based ads we show you by measuring what ads are clicked or viewed, and to provide you with more useful and relevant ads. For example, if we know what ads are shown to your browser we can be careful not to show the same ads repeatedly.
  • We work with third parties, such as advertisers, publishers, social media networks, search engines, ad serving companies, and advertising companies working on their behalf, to improve the relevance of ads we serve. In providing you interest-based ads we do not associate your interactions on unaffiliated sites with information which on its own identifies you, such as name or email address, and we do not provide any such information to advertisers or to third-party sites that display our interest-based ads. Advertisers and other third parties may assume that users who interact with or click on an interest-based ad or content are part of the group that the ad or content is directed towards. Some third-parties may provide us pseudonymized information about you (such as demographic information or sites where you have been shown ads) from offline and online sources that we may use to provide you more relevant and useful advertising.
  • Third party advertisers or advertising companies working on their behalf sometimes use cookies in the process of delivering content, including ads, directly to your browser or device, and they may automatically receive an IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies to measure the effectiveness of their ads, show you more relevant advertising content, and perform services on behalf of Reps. 

You can generally opt out of receiving personalized ads from third party advertisers and ad networks who are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or who follow the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising, or who are members of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance at edaa.eu (“EIDAA”) by visiting the opt out pages on the NAI website, DAA website, or the EIDAA website.

THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISING.

 The Reps Website and Reps Services may include third-party advertising and links to other websites and apps. Third-party advertising partners may collect information about you when you interact with their content, advertising, and services. We may provide ad companies with information that allows them to serve you with more useful and relevant Reps ads and to measure their effectiveness. We never share your name or other information that directly identifies you when we do this. Instead, we use an advertising identifier like a cookie or other device identifier. Some ad companies also use this information to serve you relevant ads from other advertisers.

COOKIES, PIXELS AND OTHER IDENTIFIERS (COLLECTIVELY, “COOKIES”).
