For more information about the use of automated means in the context of targeted advertising and how you can limit tracking for advertising and marketing purposes, see section C. 3 For advertising and marketing purposes, including targeted advertising.

4. Information we obtain from other sources

We receive information about you from other sources and it may be combined with other information about you. For example, we may obtain data from:

Operators of third-party sites or apps, content distribution channels and platforms (e.g., Roku, Amazon Fire TV), voice-activated assistants (e.g., Amazon Alexa, Google Home) or other devices and technologies when you interact with our content, products, services or ads available on those channels and platforms. The information we receive may include information about the content you view or access as well as your demographic information and information about your interests.
Third-party data suppliers such as data aggregators, data resellers, public databases and business partners. They may provide us with demographic information, information about your purchases, and other information that helps us learn about you and other users of the Oprah Daily Services.

When you engage with our content or ads on Social Media Platforms, or interact with features on the Oprah Daily Services that contain content or features provided by Social Media Platforms (e.g., login or sign in features or tools that allow you to share our content with others on Social Media Platforms), we may obtain information from Social Media Platforms, including your username, user ID, demographic information and other information, subject to the settings and privacy practices of the relevant Social Media Platform. We may obtain this information directly from the Social Media Platform or through plug-ins, integrations or applications. Please keep in mind that the operators of the Social Media Platforms may also gather information about your use of the Oprah Daily Services and their features and tools.

C. HOW WE USE INFORMATION WE OBTAIN

If you make a purchase or place an order through or in connection with an Oprah Daily Service (including for paid content), we use your payment card information (e.g., your card number and expiration date) for limited purposes such as to process your transaction (including recurring payments, if applicable), to provide you with the requested products or services and for the purposes described under the section “To protect our rights or the rights of others” below.

With respect to information other than your payment card information, we use that information:

1. To provide you with the Oprah Daily Services. This includes:

Processing your requests regarding the Oprah Daily Services and our subscriptions, products or services, or your participation in a survey, sweepstakes, contest, promotion, event or similar initiative.
Providing customer assistance or technical support.

3. For advertising and marketing purposes, including targeted advertising. This includes:

Developing, managing and conducting advertising and marketing campaigns, promotions and offers, including about our content, products and services or third parties’ products, services and other initiatives.
Targeted advertising (also known as online behavioral advertising) is advertising based on your interests as in topics and content based on your activities over time on the Oprah Daily Services and online services operated by third parties, as well as information from other sources, including information collected offline. Targeted ads may consist of text ads, images, animations or videos and may be displayed to you based on various factors, including the context of the site or app in which they appear (e.g., sport or travel section), information you provided to the operator of the site or app (e.g., when you created an account), your activities on the site or app (e.g., pages viewed, searches performed or ads clicked), and information such as your demographic, interests and household information.
On the Oprah Daily Services and on third-party sites, apps or other media, we, our service providers and third parties may use automated means to (a) collect information for targeted advertising purposes or (b) serve you targeted ads. These automated means vary depending on the Oprah Daily Services and include technologies such as cookies, web beacons, tags, scripts, pixels, and SDKs. These technologies may use unique identifiers associated with your browser or device to support targeted advertising.
We may use and/or combine online and offline information we obtain about you, including your personal information, for targeted advertising purposes. We may aggregate the information we obtain to create audiences that are most likely to respond to ads based on demographic, interests or household information.
Targeted ads may be displayed to you by third parties, such as ad networks or exchanges.
There are steps you can take to limit the collection of your information for targeted advertising purposes. These steps vary for the web and mobile app environments and are browser and device specific. To learn more about targeted advertising and opt-out choices, see http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and in the section DAA Industry Opt-Out.
In serving targeted ads, we adhere to the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising developed by the Digital Advertising Alliance.
Cross-device linking. If you access the Oprah Daily Services from multiple browsers or devices, we, our service providers and third parties may try to establish connections among and link the different browsers and devices you use to access the Oprah Daily Services and our content or ads published elsewhere. This helps us provide you with a seamless experience across the browsers and devices you use and serve you with more relevant content and ads (e.g., so that we don’t show you the same article twice). See section Website (Browser) Opt-Outs for steps you can take to limit browser and mobile app tracking for targeted advertising purposes.
Analyzing and measuring the performance, effectiveness and reach of our advertising (including targeted ads) and marketing efforts on the Oprah Daily Services and elsewhere.
