Sharing With Third-Party Partners and Customers

Advertising, Measurement and Analytics Services (Non-Personally Identifiable Information Only).
We may provide these partners with information about the reach and effectiveness of their advertising without providing information that personally identifies you, or if we have aggregated the information so that it does not personally identify you.
