Protecting Your Privacy in Personalized Advertising 

At I Choose. I AM!, your privacy is central to how we design our advertising systems. We do  not sell your personal information, nor do we share any data that directly identifies you (like your  name or email) with advertisers without your explicit permission. Instead, we use your activity  and interests to show you relevant ads that may be of interest to you. 

Advertisers let us know the type of audience they want to reach, based on broad characteristics  like age range or interests. For example, an advertiser may wish to target users between the  ages of 18 and 35 who are interested in fitness. We then display their ads to those who fit these  criteria, but without revealing any personal information that identifies you individually. 

Advertiser Reports and Audience Insights 

We also provide advertisers with insights into how their ads perform. These reports include  aggregate demographic and interest data, such as showing an advertiser that people interested  in wellness in a certain age range interacted with their ad. This helps advertisers understand  how effective their ads are, without disclosing any personal data that could identify you directly. 

Our Commitment to Your Data Privacy 

We collect and use your data to deliver the services and personalized experiences described  here. To learn more about how we handle your data and your options for managing it, please  refer to our Privacy Policy. Our goal is to provide you with a tailored, engaging experience on I  CHOOSE I AM, while respecting and safeguarding your privacy at every step.
