8. Third-Party Tracking and Interest-Based Advertising for Dwellner
Dwellner engages in interest-based advertising practices, collaborating with reputable third-party advertising entities to present you with advertisements tailored to your online browsing activities. We allow third-party online advertising networks, social media platforms, and other services to gather information regarding your interactions with our platform over time. This data might be used to display ads on our platform, on other websites or apps you frequent, and across various devices you utilize. The information for interest-based advertising is typically acquired through tracking technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, embedded scripts, mobile SDKs, and other similar mechanisms (“tracking technologies”). These technologies recognize your device and gather data, including your browsing patterns, browser type, visit timestamps, device or AdID, geolocation, and more.
To enhance the relevancy of ads across devices, we might share a common account identifier (like an email address or user ID) or hashed data with our third-party advertising collaborators. Both we and our partners utilize this data to ensure the online ads you encounter align with your interests, and to offer services related to advertising, such as analytics, reporting, attribution, and market research.
To provide a seamless advertising experience across your devices, we, or our third-party partners, may establish links between your devices. This ensures that content viewed on one device can lead to pertinent advertising on another. By sharing a common account identifier or collaborating with third parties employing tracking technologies, we can ascertain if multiple devices are associated with a single user or household. This cross-device linkage allows us, and our partners, to offer interest-based advertising and personalized content across your devices, enhancing your user experience, conducting analytics, and evaluating the efficacy of our advertising initiatives.
Dwellner also offers the convenience of logging in using third-party accounts, such as Google, Facebook, or Apple.

We may retain the token and your details to recognize you, ensuring a consistent user experience across devices.

Retaining this information also facilitates user-friendly features, like auto-filling your details in log-in fields or contact forms.
Your trust is paramount to Dwellner, and we are committed to ensuring transparency and choice in how your data is used.
