These might be our own offers or products, or third-party offers or products we think you might find interesting. We may use information to serve you content and ads that we think you may be interested in. To learn about your choices for these communications, read Section 5 below.

We use information to communicate with you about our relationship. For instance, we will use your information to provide support and to respond to your requests or questions. We may use information to contact you in response to your feedback or to communicate other matters related to our relationship with you (such as about updates to this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use).

We may also use information to conduct background, employment, and credit checks.

We use information for hiring purposes. If you submit a job application, we will use any related information to review your job applications and contact you about employment opportunities. If you choose to voluntarily submit your ethnicity, gender, disability status, and/or veteran status in connection with a job application, we will use that information for statistical tracking purposes (not for hiring decisions), in accordance with applicable law.

We use information for verification purposes. For example, we will use certain pieces of personal information to verify your identity if you make requests pursuant to this Privacy Policy. The verification steps and the pieces of personal information that we request may vary depending on the sensitivity and nature of your request. To access areas of the Platform reserved for account holders, we will use your information to authenticate your login attempt.

We use information as otherwise required or permitted by law, or as we may notify you. For instance, we use your information for general compliance purposes and to operate our business on a day-to-day basis.

We may use personal information to create deidentified or aggregated data which does not identify you or any other individual from whom such information is derived, or from which your identity cannot reasonably be ascertained. We may use and disclose this anonymous or aggregated data as we choose, including without limitation for commercial and/or research-based purposes.
