We may serve ads on Third Party Services, such as Facebook and Google, which are targeted to reach people (or similar people) on those services that have visited our Service or that are also identified in one of more of our databases (“Matched Ads”). This is done by matching common factors between our data and the data of Third Party Services.

We are not responsible for such Third Party Services’ failure to comply with your opt-out instructions.

How does The School of Social Networks maintain security?

However, in the unlikely case of a security breach on our databases, we will take immediate steps to resolve the problem swiftly and effectively.
