Opting Out of Behavioral Advertising

LotNetwork may display advertising on the Site and other websites both on our own behalf and via third-party advertising service providers, including targeted behavioral advertising. LotNetwork adheres to the guidelines of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising, and has implemented opt-out procedures in accordance with those organizations’ programs. Some of our advertising service providers may also be members and offer an opt-out of behavioral advertising. You may want to visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp, which provides information regarding targeted advertising and the opt-out offered by NAI members. You may also want to visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/, which provides an opt-out by participating companies in the DAA Self-Regulatory Program. If you would like to opt-out of behavioral advertising controlled by us and/or our advertising service providers you may visit the NAI and DAA links provided above. Your opt-out choice is applied only to the browser from which you make the choice. Please note that LotNetwork and other companies may still collect information when you are online and opting out through these mechanisms does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to be served generic ads while online.

For mobile device users, to opt-out of the collection and use of data for interest-based advertising on your mobile device, you can modify the settings on your mobile device. For example:

• For Apple Devices: Go to Settings, Select Privacy, Select Advertising, and enable the “Limit Ad Tracking” setting.
• For Android Devices: Open the Google Settings App, Select Ads, and enable the “Opt out of interest-based advertising” setting.

The specific opt-out instructions for each device may differ slightly depending on which version of the operating software you are running. Your opt-out choice is applied only to the collection of data from applications on the device from which you opt-out and if you use a different device, a different browser or if you delete browser cookies, you may need to repeat the opt-out steps for that particular device or browser. Should you elect to opt-out, you will still receive ads, but these ads may be less relevant to your interests.

Testimonials

We post customer testimonials on our Web site which may contain personally identifiable information such as the customer's name. We do obtain the customer's consent prior to posting the testimonial to post their name along with their testimonial.
