YOUR CHOICES ABOUT TRACKING AND COMMUNICATIONS FROM US
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website offers a cookie preference center in the footer of our website that allows you to exercise your choices as related to these technologies. Cookies may also generally be disabled or removed by tools available as part of most commercial browsers through an opt-out preference signal, and in some instances blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Browsers offer different functionalities and options, so you will need to set them separately for each browser and each device you use. Please review your browser’s help menu for instructions, or visit www.allaboutcookies.org for more information . Please note that if you disable all cookies, some features of our Services may not function properly or at all.
Do Not Track Signals
Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Like many online services, we currently do not alter our practices when we receive a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser.
Analytics and Advertising Technologies
You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
You may opt out of Meta Custom Audience by logging into your Facebook account and changing your privacy or advertising settings as per Meta’s opt-out instructions. You may also use your Facebook account settings to unlink your Facebook account from the iFLY Services.
You may choose not to receive some interest-based advertising by submitting opt-outs. Some of the advertisers and Services Providers that perform advertising-related services for us may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (“ DAA ”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising and/or the Network Advertising Initiative (“ NAI ”). To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding interest-based advertising, including use of cross-device data for serving ads, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. To learn more about the NAI and your opt-out options for their members, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Please be aware that 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 (for example, ads from other networks).
We also use advertising services provided by Google Ad Services . To learn more about the data Google collects for advertising and to opt out of certain ad targeting by Google, please visit here.
Both iFLY and Third-Party Services may have access to certain information about you and your use of the Services and any Third-Party Service. iFLY may engage and work with Services Providers and other third parties to serve advertisements on the Services and/or on Third-Party Services. Some of these ads may be tailored to your interests based on your browsing of the Services and elsewhere on the Internet, which may include use of Cross-device Data, sometimes referred to as “interest-based advertising” (also referred to as “online behavioral advertising”), which may include sending you an ad on a Third-Party Service after you have left the Services (also referred to as “retargeting”).
iFLY is not responsible for the effectiveness of any third parties’ opt-out options or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.
Email Communications
You can opt out of receiving certain promotional communications (such as emails) from iFLY at any time. For promotional e-mails, you may click on the unsubscribe link, or if available, change your communication preferences from within your iFLY account. If you opt-out of our marketing email communications, we may, subject to applicable law, still send you non-promotional communications, such as those related to your iFLY account or purchases. Unsubscribing from our marketing communications will not affect the level or quality of service we provide to you.
DATA SECURITY AND MONITORING
We use technical and administrative security measures to reduce the risk of loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration of, or to otherwise protect, your information. Although we implement reasonable security measures on our Services, we cannot guarantee the security of information you submit via the Internet. It is your responsibility to make sure that your passwords and account registration information are secure and not shared with third parties.
AGE RESTRICTIONS
The Services are intended for a general audience and not directed to children less than 13 years of age. iFLY does not intend to collect personal information as defined by the U.S. Children’s Privacy Protection Act (“ COPPA ”) (“ Children’s Personal Information”) in a manner that is not permitted by COPPA.

Any California residents under the age of eighteen (18) who have registered to use the Services or who posted content or information on the Services can request removal by contacting iFLY and (i) specifying where the content or information was posted and (ii) attesting that such was posted by a minor. iFLY will then make reasonably good faith efforts to remove the post from prospective public view or anonymize it so the minor cannot be individually identified to the extent required by applicable law. This removal process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive removal. For instance, third parties may have republished or archived content by search engines that iFLY does not control.
