- “Information provided to us by third parties. Our partners may provide us with additional information from other sources. This includes information similar to the information we collect directly … Such third-party information may also include partner cookies, which may uniquely identify your browser or device to us. Partners may also send us other unique identifiers that are de-identified via a hashing algorithm. We take measures to prevent third parties from providing Arbor with Personally Identifiable Information ("PII") that is not previously de-identified using a hashing algorithm. In the event Arbor comes into possession of PII, we will not disclose such information to any third party without the user’s consent or without first de-identifying such information using a hashing algorithm. Third parties that we work with may be located or operating in other countries, so information supplied to us may have been collected or processed in another country.” Source
