ONLINE TRACKING AND HOW WE RESPOND TO DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS

Online tracking is the collection of data about an individual’s Internet activity used to deliver targeted advertisements and for other purposes. Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (DNT) or similar feature that signals to websites that a visitor does not want to have his/her online activity and behavior tracked. If an online service elects to respond to a particular DNT signal, the service may refrain from collecting certain personal information about the browser’s user.Not all browsers offer a DNT option, and there is currently no industry consensus as to what constitutes a DNT signal. For these reasons, many website operators, including Hippo Wallet, do not take action to respond to DNT signals. For more information about DNT signals, visit https://allaboutdnt.com.
