ONLINE ANALYTICS AND ADVERTISING
- Online Analytics
We may use third-party web analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to collect and analyze usage information through cookies and similar tools on our Services. These services help us with auditing, research, or reporting, and assist with fraud prevention. Additionally, we use these services to locate the same unique users across multiple browsers or devices to better tailor our services and features to you. If you have a Google account with personalized advertising enabled, Google Signals can gather analytics and engagement information from across your various devices to provide us with better insights. To prevent Google from using your information for analytics or cross-device tracking for personalization purposes, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or opt out of Google Signals by turning on “Opt out of Ads Personalization” in your Google Ads settings. You may also disable cross-device tracking through your Android or Apple device-based settings.
- Online Advertising
Our Services may use third-party advertising technologies, such as ad networks and ad servers like Facebook, Google Ad Words, and Vcita, to deliver relevant content and advertising for Transcend products on our Services, as well as on other websites and applications. These ads may be based on various factors, such as the content of the page you are visiting, your searches, demographic data, and other information we collect from you. The ads may be based on your current activity or your activity over time and across other websites and online services.
We may provide our customer information, such as email addresses, to service providers who can match this information in de-identified form to cookies or other proprietary IDs to provide you with more relevant ads when you visit other websites and mobile applications.
Please note that we do not have access to, nor does this Privacy Policy govern, the use of cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on your device by non-affiliated third-party advertising network services. If you want more information about tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being placed on your computer to deliver tailored advertising, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page. However, we cannot guarantee the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms. If you exercise the opt-out choices above, you will still see advertising when you use our Services, but it will not be tailored to you based on your online behavior over time.
3. Mobile Advertising
When using mobile applications from us or others, you may also receive tailored in-application advertisements. We may use third-party service providers to deliver advertisements on mobile applications or for mobile application analytics. Each operating system, iOS for Apple phones, Android for Android devices, and Windows for Microsoft devices provides its own instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-application advertisements. We do not control how the applicable platform operator allows you to control receiving personalized in-application advertisements; thus, you should contact the platform provider for further details on opting out of tailored in-application advertisements. You may review the support materials and/or the device settings for the respective operating systems to opt-out of tailored in-app advertisements.
