To fulfill your requests for products and services (e.g., provide you with content via your mobile device), we may share the personally identifiable information you provide with your mobile phone service provider or its partner and subcontractor companies. We may also provide your information to trusted partners under nondisclosure agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help Kargo communicate with you via your mobile device or email about offers from Kargo and its marketing partners. Kargo does not grant these partners an independent right to share your information.
Kargo may from time to time display targeted advertisements based on personal information on its web site or via your mobile device. Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click targeted ads meet the targeting criteria—for example, men aged 18-24 from a specific geographic area. Kargo does not provide any personal information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad. However, by interacting with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser will assume that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad. These third party advertising companies may collect information about your visits to our Website, such as number of times you have viewed an ad (but not your name, address, or other personal information). These companies may also use that information to serve ads about goods and services that may be of interest to you on this Website, and other websites.
