We may share portions of our log file data, including IP addresses, for analytics purposes with third parties such as web analytics partners and application developers. If your IP address is shared, it may be used to estimate general location and other technographics such as connection speed, whether you have visited the service in a shared location, and the type of device used to visit the service. They may aggregate information about our advertising and what you see on the service and then provide auditing, research, and reporting for us and our advertisers.
