  • When we use legitimate interest as the legal basis for processing personal information, we first weigh whether the risk that the processing poses to data subjects outweighs the benefits we (and you) obtain through our processing the data. We use Legitimate Interest as our lawful basis for processing your personal information under these purposes:
    • Use limited data to select advertising. When we use only information such as the content of the page you are visiting to select advertising to display to you, we have determined that the risk to you is minimal and the benefit of your receiving free, ad-supported content with related advertising outweighs that risk. Similarly, using personal information to limit the number of times you see an ad or measure how well the ad attracts your interest and the interest of others (ad performance) improves your experience and creates very little risk to you.
    • We use a very limited amount of personal information to maintain and improve our services, and we also believe that the benefits of this outweigh any risk to you from our processing this small amount of personal information.
