For example, we may greet you by name, provide better recommendations to you, tailor communications to your interests, and use the information to guide overall improvements to our products and services. We may also use Preferences Information in connection with behavioral advertising. See Your Rights and Choices for information about how you can limit or opt out of this processing.
Direct marketing
Consistent with our legitimate business interests, we (or if appropriate, our third party partners) may send you marketing and promotional communications if you sign up for such communications or purchase products or services from us.
