C. Disclosures for Advertising and Analytics Services.

  1. Subject to your account and device settings, we disclose limited personal information to select business partners, including data marketplaces, data brokers, and advertising companies, for their own and their clients’ use. The information may be used to show you more relevant ads across third-party sites and services or combined with information received from other sources. We do not disclose your contact information (e.g., your name, email, phone number) to these business partners. Instead, we may provide information about inferred interests or purchase tendencies of groups of users (such as interest in purchasing a car or recently purchased outdoor equipment), together with pseudonymized identifiers of corresponding users (such as mobile advertising IDs).
  2. We may allow business partners like Microsoft and Google to serve advertisements on the OfferUp Service, on our behalf across the Internet, and to provide us with analytics services.

OfferUp may disclose or enable these companies to collect information such as your IP address, device identifier, web browser and mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages or in mobile apps, links clicked, and conversion information.
