US SUPPLEMENT TO THE Solum PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: November 29, 2024
This US Supplement to the Solum Privacy Policy (“US Supplement”) describes additional personal information practices concerning United States residents and should be read in conjunction with the Solum Privacy Policy. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Solum Privacy Policy and this US Supplement, the terms of this US Supplement shall apply.
Additional Uses of Your Information
In addition to the purposes described above in the HOW DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION SECTION? We may also use personal information about United States residents for other purposes, such as to develop and train our artificial intelligence algorithms and models.
Online Tracking And Personalized Advertising
Through certain Services, both we and various third parties may collect information about your online activities to provide you with advertising about products and services tailored to your individual interests.
Solum Ads
Our Solum Ads service is designed to serve advertisements that are personalized to users’ interests on Solum and third-party platforms, devices, websites, and apps. Solum Ads may deliver personalized ads based on your demographic characteristics, preferences, choices, and interests by collecting certain information about your online activities.
Ad networks
Because Solum participates in various advertising networks, you may also see our ads on other websites or mobile apps. Ad networks allow us to target our messaging to users considering demographic data, users’ inferred interests, and browsing context. These networks can track users’ online activities over time by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of browser cookies, web beacons, pixels, device identifiers, server logs, and other similar technologies. The networks use this information to show ads that may be tailored to individuals’ interests, to track users’ browsers or devices across multiple websites and apps, and to build a profile of users’ online browsing and app usage activities. The information our ad networks may collect includes data about users’ visits to websites and apps that participate in the relevant ad networks, such as the pages or ads viewed and the actions taken on the websites or apps. This data collection takes place both on certain Services and on third-party websites and apps that participate in the ad networks. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
To serve interest-based ads, we may share your personal information by allowing certain third parties (such as online advertising services) to collect your personal information via automated technologies and server-to-server connections on the Services. This kind of sharing may be considered a “sale” of personal information or the use of personal information to serve “targeted advertising” under certain privacy laws.

In addition, you may, subject to applicable law, request a list of specific third parties to whom we have disclosed personal data.
