Use and Sharing of Personal Information for Advertising Purposes. In connection with our Trial Awareness program services, we may use and share your personal information with third parties who we partner with for advertising campaigns, contests, special offers or other events or activities in connection with the Trial Awareness program services. We may also work with third-party advertising companies and social media companies to help us advertise the program to providers and other members of our provider network, including through the use of interest-based advertising. Such partners may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about you (including the device data and online activity data described above) over time across ClinOne and other sites and online services and use that information to serve ads that they think will interest you, and/or use hashed customer lists that we share with them to deliver ads to you and to similar users on their platforms.

You can limit the use of your information for interest-based advertising by blocking third-party cookies in your browser settings, using browser plug-ins/extensions, and/or using your mobile device settings to limit the use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device.

The opt-out preferences described here must be set on each device and/or browser for which you want them to apply. Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms or do not participate in the opt-out mechanisms described above, so even after opting-out, you may still receive some cookies and interest-based ads from other companies. If you opt-out of interest-based advertisements, you will still see advertisements online but they may be less relevant to you.

Sharing of Personal Information with the Trial Awareness .
