4. THIRD-PARTY ONLINE ADVERTISING AND COOKIES

• Advertising. We participate in interest-based advertising and use third party advertising companies to serve you targeted advertisements based on your browsing history. We permit third party online advertising networks, social media companies and other third-party services, to collect information about your use of our online services over time so that they may play or display ads on our Services, on other websites or services you may use, and on other devices you may use. Typically, though not always, the information used for interest-based advertising is collected through tracking technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, and similar technology, which recognize the device you are using and collect information, including clickstream information, browser type, time and date you visited the KEETA App, AdID, precise geolocation and other information. We may share a common account identifier (such as a hashed email address or user ID) with our third-party advertising partners to help identify you across devices. We and our third-party partners use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics and market research. We may also use services provided by third parties (such as social media platforms) to serve targeted ads to you and others on such platforms. We may do this by providing a hashed version of your email address or other information to the platform provider.
• Cookies. We and our third-party partners may also use cookies and tracking technologies for advertising purposes. Our use of cookies in accordance with our Cookie Policy.
• Social Media Widgets and Advertising. We may display targeted advertising to you through social media platforms. These companies have interest-based advertising programs that allow us to direct advertisements while those users are on the social media platform. We may share a unique identifier, such as a user ID or hashed email address, with these platform providers or they may collect information from our website visitors through a first-party pixel. These activities are governed by the privacy policies of those social media companies that provide them.
• Third Party Partners. We may use third-party analytics on our Services. For example, we use Google Analytics to better understand how you interact with our Services. The information we obtain through our Services may be disclosed to or collected directly by these third parties. To learn more, see Google Analytics.

5. CONTROL OVER YOUR INFORMATION

• Updating Your Information. Once you have registered for an account, you may be able to update or correct your profile information details and preferences by accessing your account settings through the KEETA App, or by contacting us at [email protected] or write to us at: KEETA Financial Services, Inc., [email protected].
• Deactivating Your Account. We do not delete information about you upon deactivation of your account. Although your deactivated status is reflected promptly in our user databases, we may retain the information you submit for a variety of purposes, including legal compliance, backups and archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, and analytics. Upon deactivation, you will no longer receive emails from KEETA and links to third-party financial accounts and services will automatically terminate. If you have a money transfer transaction pending at the time you deactivate your account, your link to this service from KEETA will terminate but your pending transfer will continue to completion and your bank account will remain open.
• Correcting Credit Reports. Information related to your creditworthiness is maintained by the credit bureaus. If you find that there is an error or you want to dispute the information found in your credit report, please contact the credit reporting bureaus: Experian, Transunion, and Equifax. 
• Opting-Out of Certain Online Ads. To learn more about interest-based advertising and how you may be able to opt-out of some of this advertising, you can visit the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) and/or the Network Advertising Initiative’s (NAI) at www.aboutads.info/choices or http://www.networkadvertising .org/choices/. You may also be able to limit interest-based advertising through the settings menu on your mobile device by selecting “limit ad tracking” (iOS) or “opt-out of interest-based ads” (Android). You may also be able to opt-out of some — but not all — interest-based advertising served by mobile ad networks by visiting http://youradchoices.com/appchoices and downloading the mobile AppChoices app.

When you opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements, this does not mean you will no longer see advertisements from us. It means that the online ads that you see from DAA 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. In addition, third parties may still use cookies to collect information about your use of our online services, including for analytics and fraud prevention as well as any other purpose permitted under the DAA’s Principles.

• Our Privacy Notice provides information about how you can limit your sharing options for our financial services and GLBA-covered data.
