Third Party Links and Services

We link to sites operated by other parties, but we are not responsible for their privacy practices.  If you link your Styku account with your account on another site or platform, we will have access to information you have shared with that third party.

The Platform and some of our email communications contain links to other sites that we are not responsible for.  We do not control, recommend or endorse these other sites. These other sites may also collect personal information about you, and they may have their own privacy policies.  We recommend that you review the privacy policy of any site that you access through the Platform.

You may choose to link your Styku account with your accounts with third-party services, such as Facebook.  If you do this, Styku has access to information that you have agreed to make available with the third party, such as profile information and account preferences.  You can control the information received by Styku via the privacy settings in the third party account.

Advertising

You can choose whether or not to see advertising based on your interests. If you opt-out, you will still see ads, but they will be less relevant to you.

Styku may use information derived from your use of the Platform or our products and services to determine what content we believe may be of interest to you, including content from the providers of goods and services that you may be able to purchase through the Platform or otherwise (who may pay us to show you such content). Note, however, that if a third-party content provider asks us to show content to users with certain characteristics (for example, women ages 18-24) or a segment of that group (for example, women ages 18-24 who have indicated they are interested in triathlons and you respond to that content or click on links embedded in that content, the third-party content provider may conclude that you have the characteristics of the audience that they are trying to reach. Styku does not have access to or control over cookies, web beacons, or other technologies that third parties who have asked us to show you content may use, and the privacy practices of these third parties are not covered by this privacy policy. Please contact these companies directly for information on their data collection and privacy practices. For more information on available opt-out options for targeted advertising delivered by NAI member ad networks, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/.

We may use third party ad network providers to help present ads on the Platform, as well as other service providers to evaluate and provide us with information about the use of the Platform and viewing of our content.  Such providers may place and access cookies, pixel tags, or similar technologies on your Device to serve you ads or other content personalized to your interests which they infer from your browsing on the Platform and other sites you have visited.  In doing so, the provider collects or has access to non-Personal Information such as your Usage Information that does not identify you. The use of cookies, pixel tags, or similar technologies by these providers is subject to their own privacy policies, not ours.

If you do not want to receive the benefits of targeted advertising, you may opt out of some network advertising programs that use your information by visiting the NAI Opt-Out Page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp or the Digital Advertising Alliance consumer choice page at www.aboutads.info/choices.

Please note that even if you choose to remove your information (opt out), you will still see advertisements while you’re browsing online. However, the advertisements you see may be less relevant to you and your interests. Additionally, many network advertising programs allow you to view and manage the interest categories they have compiled from your online browsing activities. These interest categories help determine the types of targeted advertisements you may receive. The NAI Opt-Out Page and the DAA consumer choice page provide mechanisms to opt out of receiving cookies from those companies. Please note that if you opt-out of targeted advertising, we may still track your visits to the Platform for our own analytics, operations and security purposes.
