Specifically, you can opt out of our "sale" of your personal information to third parties, the "sharing" of your personal information for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising, and certain profiling activities that result in legal or similarly significant effects on you.

If you request to opt out of the sale of your personal information, we will try to apply your request to the publicly available information we collect, as a courtesy. However, this will not remove the data from its original source. This means your information may still appear on other websites or be accessible through other services.
