1. By direct means.
   We may collect information you provide directly via the Sites. For example, we collect information when you register on one or more of the Sites or otherwise submit information electronically to us through the Sites. We also collect information when you purchase or otherwise obtain or request goods and services online from CDA or its service providers through the Sites. In addition, we collect information when you participate in any of our online features, such as our forums or blogs, submit advertisements to our classified listing or comments to our Sites, or engage in any email correspondence or other communications by means of the Sites.
   
   The information we collect may include Personal Information. “Personal Information” is information that identifies you personally (whether alone or in combination), such as your name, date of birth, postal address, email address, telephone number, and payment card information. If you are a CDA member at the time of registration, you will be asked to confirm the Personal Information about you in our membership records, including, for example, your name, postal address, email address, American Dental Association member number, California license number, and license type. If you are not a CDA member at the time of registration, you will be asked to submit such Personal Information on our Site registration page.
   
   You may choose to voluntarily submit certain other information to us through the Sites, including Personal Information, but you are solely responsible for your own Personal Information in instances where we have not requested that you submit such information to us.
   
   Note that for purposes of this Statement, your business addresses, business telephone numbers, and other information related to your business that does not identify you as an individual is not considered “Personal Information.” Also, Personal Information once “de-identified” is not subject to this Statement and we may treat it as non-Personal Information and use it without obligation to you except as prohibited by applicable law.
2. By automatic means.
   We and our service providers may automatically collect certain information about you when you access or use the Sites (“Usage Information”). Such data may include your IP address, device identifier, the type of Internet browser and operating system you are using, the pages and information you accessed on our Sites, the total time spent on our Sites, the domain name of the website from which you linked to our Sites, data regarding network connected hardware, and other information about your use of the Sites. Usage Information helps us understand which parts of our Sites are most popular, where our visitors are going and how much time they spend there. To the extent that we combine Usage Information with your Personal Information, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information under this Statement.
   
   The methods that may be used on the Sites to collect Usage Information include:
   • Log Information: Log information is data about your use of the Sites, such as IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamps, and related data, which is stored in log files.
   • Information Collected by Tracking Technologies: Cookies, web beacons (also known as “tracking pixels”), embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, in-app tracking methods, and other tracking technologies now and hereafter developed (“Tracking Technologies”) may be used to collect information about your interactions with the Sites or emails, including information about your browsing and activity behavior.
     • Cookies
       When you view our Sites, we may automatically store certain information on your device in the form of a small text file called a “cookie”. For example, we may store your user ID and password information on a cookie so that you do not have to reenter that information the next time you access the Sites. We may also use cookies to help us improve your experience with our Sites, or tailor the Sites to better match your interests and preferences. Cookies may remain on your device for extended periods of time.
     • Web Beacons (“Tracking Pixels”)
       Web beacons are small graphic images, also known as “internet tags” or “clear gifs,” embedded in web pages and email messages. Web beacons may be used to count the number of visitors to the Sites, to monitor how users navigate the Sites, and to count content views.
     • Embedded Scripts
       An embedded script is programming code designed to collect information about your interactions with the Sites. It is temporarily downloaded onto your device from our web server or a third party with whom we work, is active only while you are connected to the Sites, and deleted or deactivated thereafter.
     • Location-identifying Technologies
       GPS (global positioning systems) software, geo-filtering, and other location-aware technologies locate (sometimes precisely) you for purposes such as verifying your location and delivering or restricting relevant content based on your location.
     • In-App Tracking Methods
       There are a variety of tracking technologies that may be included in mobile apps, and these are not browser-based like cookies and cannot be controlled by browser settings. Some use device identifier, or other identifiers such as “Ad IDs” to associate app user activity to a particular app and to track user activity across apps.

   Some information about your use of the Sites and certain Third Party Services (defined below) may be collected using Tracking Technologies across time and services and used by us and third parties for purposes such as to associate different devices you use, and deliver relevant ads and/or other content to you on the Sites and certain Third Party Services.

   For further information on Tracking Technologies and your choices regarding them, please see “Third Party Services, Features, and Devices” and “Your Choices” below.

3. From offline and other sources.

Such information may include, but not be limited to, drivers’ and other license numbers, social security numbers, purchasing information and results of surveys in which you choose to participate. We may also collect and retain additional information about you from third parties, such as in connection with providing you with products and services. Some examples of third party sourced information would be information acquired in connection with insurance underwriting decisions or claims adjustment. To the extent we combine such offline or third party sourced information with Personal Information we have collected about you on the Service, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information under this Statement. We are not responsible for the accuracy of any information provided by third parties or third party policies or practices.

To the extent that CDA is authorized to disclose your Personal Information to a third party in connection with the providing by CDA of any service to you, CDA will take commercially reasonable measures to bind such third party to appropriate contractual obligations of confidentiality. In general, however, CDA cannot be responsible for the failure of unaffiliated third parties to honor their privacy obligations.

Without limiting the foregoing, in our sole discretion, we may share aggregated information which does not identify you or de-identified information about you with third parties or affiliates for any purpose.

1. Tracking Technologies Generally

Please refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions. Browsers offer different functionalities and options so you may need to set them separately. With respect to our mobile apps, you can stop all collection of information via the app by uninstalling the app. Also, you may be able to exercise specific privacy choices, such as enabling or disabling certain location-based services, by adjusting the permissions in your mobile device. Please be aware, however, that some features and programs of our Sites may be unavailable to you if cookies are erased or blocked, or you disable or remove other tracking technologies.
   
   CDA uses data collected from this site to improve and analyze its functionality and to tailor products, services, ads, and offers to your interests. Occasionally, we do this with help from third parties using cookies, and pixels, beacons, session replay scripts, fingerprinting scripts, or similar tracking scripts or codes (collectively “tracking technologies”). We respect your right to privacy, and we have built tools to allow you to control sharing of your data with third parties. You can choose to disable some types of cookies and opt to stop sharing your information with third parties, unless it is necessary to the functioning of the website.

2. Analytics and Advertising Tracking Technologies
   You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
   
   You may choose whether to receive Interest-based Advertising by submitting opt outs. Some of the advertisers and service providers that perform advertising-related services for us and our partners may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding Interest-based Advertising, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices, and http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices for information on the DAA’s opt out program for mobile apps. Some of these companies may also be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the NAI and your opt out options for their members, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Please be aware that, even if you are able to opt out of certain kinds of Interest-based Advertising, you may continue to receive other types of ads. Opting out only means that those selected members should no longer deliver certain Interest-based Advertising to you, but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., from other ad networks). CDA is not responsible for effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third-parties’ opt out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.
3. Matched List Ads
   Third party websites and applications may display ads from CDA that are targeted to reach people on those websites or applications who are also identified on one of more of CDA’s databases. This is done by matching common factors between CDA’s databases and the databases of these third parties. For instance, we may share your email address with Facebook as part of Facebook’s matched list ad services. If we use Facebook’s matched list ad services, you should be able to hover over the box in the right corner of such a Facebook ad and find out how to opt-out with us from such list. If you opt-out with us from Facebook matched list ad services, we will remove the matching personal information from that Facebook list, however, this will not take effect immediately and if you have multiple emails or other accounts you may have to opt-out separately for each one. We are not responsible for such third parties’ failure to comply with your or our opt-out instructions.
4. Communications
   You can “opt-out” from receiving certain promotional communications from CDA, which may prohibit CDA from informing you of certain offerings that may be of interest to you. To opt-out of receiving certain promotional communications (emails, push notifications and SMS/text) from us at any time by (i) for emails, following the instructions as provided in emails to click on the unsubscribe link or by sending an email to us at [email protected] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject field of the email; and (ii) for push notifications or in-app messages, adjusting the permissions in your mobile device; (iii) for SMS/text messaging with the word “stop.”. Please note that your opt out is limited to the email address, phone number or device used and will not affect subsequent subscriptions or non-promotional communications, such as those about your account, transactions, servicing, or CDA’s ongoing business relations.
