Interest Based Advertising
Interest-Based Ads: 2CarPros may partner with advertising networks, which may
use information collected through a variety of Data Technologies (described in our
Privacy Policy) to provide customization, auditing, research and reporting for us
and other advertisers. We may also act as an advertising network and use information
collected through a variety of Data Technologies while you are on our site and elsewhere
where we may be acting as a third party. This data collection takes place both on
the site and on third-party's websites and mobile applications. This process allows
2CarPros and third parties to deliver targeted advertising, enhance marketing programs
and help track the effectiveness of such efforts. Advertising networks also may
use this information for determining or predicting the characteristics and preferences
of their respective advertising audiences and measuring the effectiveness of their
advertising in accordance with their privacy policies.
We do not provide information that is directly associated with a specific person
(such as name and address) to any advertising network when you interact with or
view a customized advertisement. However, when you view or interact with an advertisement,
the advertiser may make an assumption that you are interested in the subject matter
of the advertisement
Some companies disclose when they are using interest-based advertising programs
on the site to deliver third-party ads or collecting information about your visit
for these purposes and give you the ability to opt-out of this use of your information.
You may see an icon in or around third-party advertisements on the site that use
interest-based advertising programs and on pages where data is collected and used
for online interest-based advertising. Clicking on this icon will provide additional
information about the companies and data practices that were used to deliver the
ad. You can opt out of delivery of targeted advertising to you by 2CarPros and by
multiple other companies by visiting: www.aboutads.info/choices and www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.
Please note that even if you opt out, you will continue to receive advertisements,
but they will not be tailored to your specific interests.
Interest-based advertising, also called "online behavioral" advertising. is customized
based on predictions generated over time from your visits across different websites,
including our site, devices and mobile applications.
These tools allow us to personalize our ads based on your browsing behavior on our
site. Unless and until required by applicable law, our site does not recognize browser
“do not track” signals. However, several of our partners who utilize these cookies,
beacons and tools on our site enable you to opt out of this interest-based advertising.
Most of these companies are participants of the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”)
and/or the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the targeted
ads provided by these companies, and how to opt out of receiving certain targeted
ads from them, please visit: (i) for website targeted ads from DAA participants,
https://www.aboutads.info/choices; (ii) for app targeted ads from DAA participants,
https://www.aboutads.info/appchoices; and (iii) for targeted ads from NAI participants,
https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Opting out only means that the selected
participants should no longer deliver certain targeted ads to you but does not mean
you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., in connection
with the participants’ other customers or from other technology services).
You may also limit our use of information collected from or about your mobile device
for purposes of serving targeted ads to you by going to your device settings and
selecting “Limit Ad Tracking” (for iOS devices) or “Opt out of Interest-Based Ads”
(for Android devices).

apply to the specific browser or device from which you opt out. We are not responsible
for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any opt out options or programs, or
the accuracy of any other entities’ statements regarding their opt out options or
programs.

as appropriate) to help protect against unauthorized access to your personal information.
Technical measures that we have implemented also include use of firewall protection
and, in appropriate instances, encryption technology. Although we take reasonable
precautions to assess the reliability of such technology, we rely on the statements
of the vendors of those products and services as part of its security evaluation.
While we have endeavored to create a secure and reliable site for users, the confidentiality
of any communication or material transmitted to/from the site, and the security
