Users can opt out of personalized ads through their device settings.
Facebook Audience Network (United States) – Enables us to show targeted ads based on user interactions across Facebook’s ecosystem. It may collect device data, advertising identifiers, and app activity to deliver personalized ad experiences.

To further protect your sensitive data, we or our third-party payment processors utilize Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption when you sign in or enter payment information.
