Your Privacy Choices

Communication Preferences

Email Communication Preferences: You can stop receiving promotional email communications from us by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link provided in any of our email communications. Please note you cannot opt-out of service-related email communications (such as, account verification, transaction confirmation, or service update emails).
Phone Communication Preferences: You can stop receiving promotional phone communications from us by informing the caller you no longer wish to receive promotional phone calls from us, following the instructions provided on the call for opting out of promotional phone calls (where available), or replying STOP to any one of our promotional text messages. Please note we may need to continue to communicate with you via phone for certain service-related messages (such as sending you an update regarding the status of a repair request).

Automatic Data Collection Preferences

You may be able to utilize third-party tools and features to restrict our use of automatic data collection technologies. For example, (i) most browsers allow you to change browser settings to limit automatic data collection technologies on websites, (ii) most email providers allow you to prevent the automatic downloading of images in emails that may contain automatic data collection technologies, and (iii) many devices allow you to change your device settings to limit automatic data collection technologies for device applications. Please note that blocking automatic data collection technologies through third-party tools and features may negatively impact your experience using our services, as some features and offerings may not work properly or at all. Depending on the third-party tool or feature you use, you may not be able to block all automatic data collection technologies or you may need to update your preferences on multiple devices or browsers. We do not have any control over these third-party tools and features and are not responsible if they do not function as intended.

Targeted Advertising Preferences

We engage third parties to help us facilitate targeted advertising designed to show you personalized ads based on predictions of your preferences and interests developed using personal data we maintain and personal data our third-party partners obtain from your activity over time and across nonaffiliated websites and other services. The data we and our third-party partners use for purposes of facilitating targeted advertising, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research, are primarily collected through the use of a variety of automatic data collection technologies, including cookies, web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts, mobile SDKs, location-identifying technologies and logging technologies. We may share a common account identifier (such as a hashed email address or user ID) with our third-party advertising partners to help link the personal data we and our third-party partners collect to the same person, or otherwise target advertising to an individual on a third-party website or platform.

In addition to taking the steps set forth in the Automatic Data Collection Preferences section above, you may be able to further exercise control over the advertisements that you see by leveraging one or more targeted advertising opt-out programs. For example:

Device-Specific Opt-Out Programs: Certain devices provide individuals the option to turn off targeted advertising for the entire device (such as Apple devices through their App Tracking Transparency framework or Android devices through their opt out of ads personalization feature). Please refer to your device manufacturer’s user guides for additional information about implementing any available device-specific targeted advertising opt-outs.

Digital Advertising Alliance: The Digital Advertising Alliance allows individuals to opt out of receiving online interest-based targeted advertisements from companies that participate in their program. Please follow the instructions at https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN for browser-based advertising and https://www.youradchoices.com/appchoices for app-based advertising to opt out of targeted advertising carried out by our third-party partners and other third parties that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s self-regulatory program.

Platform-Specific Opt-Out Programs: Certain third-party platforms provide individuals the option to turn off targeted advertising for the entire platform (such as certain social media platforms). Please refer to your platform provider’s user guides for additional information about implementing any available platform-specific targeted advertising opt-outs.

Please note that when you opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements through one of these programs, this does not mean you will no longer see advertisements from us or on our services. Instead, it means that the online ads you do see from relevant program participants should not be based on your interests. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third parties’ opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs. In addition, program participants may still use automatic data collection technologies to collect information about your use of our services, including for analytics and fraud prevention as well as any other purpose permitted under the applicable advertising industry program.

Partner-Specific Preferences

Certain of our third-party providers and partners offer additional ways that you may exercise control over your personal data, or automatically impose limitations on the way we can use personal data in connection with the services they provide:

Device-Specific / Platform-Specific Preferences: The device and/or platform you use to interact with us (such as your mobile device or social media provider), may provide you additional choices with regard to the data you choose to share with us. For example, many mobile devices allow you to change your device permissions to prevent our products and services from accessing certain types of information from your device, and many social media platforms allow you to change your platform permissions to prevent integrated products and services from accessing certain types of information connected with your profile. Please refer to your device or platform provider’s user guides for additional information about implementing any available platform-specific targeted advertising opt-outs.

Google Analytics: Google Analytics allows us to better understand how our customers interact with our services. For information on how Google Analytics collects and processes data, as well as how you can control information sent to Google, review Google's website here: www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can learn about Google Analytics’ currently available opt-outs, including the Google Analytics Browser Add-On here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.We may also utilize certain forms of display advertising and other advanced features through Google Analytics. These features enable us to use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick advertising cookie) or other third-party cookies together to inform, optimize, and display ads based on your past visits to our services. You may control your advertising preferences or opt-out of certain Google advertising products by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager, currently available at https://myadcenter.google.com/?ref=help-center.
