Social media platforms

Our Website may contain links or buttons to social platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram). Interacting with those features may allow the social platform to collect information about you according to that platform’s policies.

We do not sell personal information for money. We also do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising in a way that would require an opt-out, unless explicitly stated and implemented with proper notice and controls.
