We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the privacy statements provided by these other parties prior to providing them with information or taking advantage of an offer or promotion.

OPTING OUT OF THE SALE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
You may opt out of us selling or disclosing your personal information for commercial purposes and if you do so we will instruct the third parties with whom we share or sell personal information to opt you out of future sale. To exercise the right to opt-out of the sale of your information, you may submit a request by visiting the Do Not Sell My Personal Information link. You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.
Note that although we will not sell your personal information after you click the button, we will continue to share some personal information with our partners (who will function as our service providers in such instances) to help us perform business functions such as, but not limited to, measuring the effectiveness of our ads, managing how many times you see an ad, reporting on the performance of our ads, processing or fulfilling transactions, ensuring our services are working correctly and securely, providing aggregate statistics and analytics, reducing ad fraud and providing services similar to these.

Although clicking the Do Not Sell My Personal Information link will opt you out of the sale of your personal information, it will not opt you out of the use of previously collected and sold personal information or all interest-based advertising.

You may download the AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps. You can also use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out of certain activities.
Opting out will not prevent the display of all advertisements to you.

You may adjust how your browser handles cookies and related technologies by adjusting its privacy and security settings. Browsers are different, so refer to instructions related to your browser to learn about cookie-related and other privacy and security settings that may be available.
If you access any of our Services through one of our mobile applications, you may manage how your personal information is shared with us. You may adjust the settings on your mobile device to allow or restrict the sharing of geolocation data. For example, the "Location" permissions (or "Privacy" >> "Location Services" on iOS-based devices) on your mobile device will allow you to elect whether to never share Location Information with Coupert, to share geolocation information only while you are using the application (e.g., to help you find nearby offers), or always share geolocation information even while you are not using the application (e.g., alert you of nearby offers when you approach a shopping mall). You may also elect to only disable "Bluetooth" to prevent just the sharing of information collected via nearby Bluetooth proximity beacons. Please note that if you elect to not share your geolocation information, you may be unable to access some features of our Services that are designed for mobile devices. Also, in the event that you prevent the sharing of geolocation information, we may still estimate your general location based on the IP address you use to access our Services.
You may manage how your mobile device handles ad-related tracking technologies by adjusting your mobile device privacy settings. For example, the "Privacy" settings of an iOS device will allow you to "Limit Ad Tracking" and reset your mobile device’s "Advertising Identifier."
