These ads are called "matched ads". This is generally done by us uploading a customer list to a technology service or incorporating a pixel from a technology service on our Services, and the technology service matching common factors between our data and their data.

7. Third Parties to Whom We Disclose Your Personal Information

We disclose the personal information you provide or that we collect in some circumstances to the following third parties:

7.1. Advertisers, Advertising Networks and Data Analytics Companies.

We share your personal information with advertisers, third-party advertising networks and analytics companies who use it to deliver targeted advertisements to you on the Services or third-party websites or advertisers. Similarly, these advertisers share personal information with us about you that they have independently gathered or acquired. We also share the personal information we have collected in order to enable our advertising partners to perform data analysis or for advertising-related use. That personal information is always encrypted except cookie IDs.

7.2. Cooperative Database and Marketing Companies

These companies provide what is called a "cooperative database", which is a type of database that holds information about customers and their transaction histories through which many companies, such as ours, will contribute information to the database in return for aggregate information on the customers other companies have provided. None of the companies that participate in these cooperative databases reveal which company has collected that data, so none of the participating companies are able to identify which company the data is associated with. Each email and mailing address is then associated with specific business categories (e.g., home decor, artwork, etc.) based on customers’ transaction histories. The participating companies, like ours, are then able to process, using data mining and other marketing targeting techniques, the email and mailing addresses in relation to the specific business categories they want to target in their direct mailing. Such databases are generally used for promotional mailings, credit card fraud detection, digital media targeting, business intelligence or fighting e-mail spam. In our case, these databases are used for promotional mailings and direct mail campaigns: this means that, from time to time, we share our customers’ email and mailing addresses and related transactional information, such as your purchase history, amounts paid and products ordered, with cooperative database and marketing companies for promotional mailings and direct mail campaigns. These types of marketing campaigns are mainly carried out in relation with our Saatchiart.com and Society6.com websites. Some of the third-party vendors who receive your personal information from us may resell it for their own direct marketing purposes, and the direct marketing purposes of other third-party marketing companies.

If you prefer to opt-out of the use of your email and mailing addresses for the above purposes, please let us know at [email protected].

7.3. Our Service Providers and Contractors.

We share your information with service providers and contractors who work on our behalf. For example, they may handle payment or credit card processing, data management, customer data pooling or aggregating, feature administration, email distribution, market research, information analysis, and promotions management.

Service providers and contractors will only have access to the personal information needed to perform these limited functions on our behalf.

Our Services may use social networking or "share functionality" or contain links to third-party social media sites or applications that are not owned or controlled by us.

Your use of these features may result in the collection or sharing of personal information about you by these sites or applications, depending on the feature.

7.5. Our Business Partners

Additionally, although the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Frameworks have been ruled invalid and we do not rely on them to legally validate our international transfers, we continue to keep to the commitments that we made when we certified to these two Frameworks regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information we receive from individuals or companies in the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland and that is transferred to the United States.
