We have created mechanisms to provide You with control over Your information. Additionally, third parties serving You with advertisements may also provide You with control over such ads. For example, by providing Us with Your email address, in accordance with this Privacy Policy, We may provide Your address to certain social media networks for the purpose of matching Your email address with Your social media account. Your email address is not provided to the third party for the third party’s use, rather, it is simply provided for matching and is then discarded. The result is that you may receive a more relevant ad on that third party social media platform. However, if you do not prefer this type of “interest-based” ad, the ad itself may have a mechanism to disable such technology. Additionally:

  • We do not control third parties’ collection or use of Your information to serve interest-based advertising. However these third parties may provide You with ways to choose not to have Your information collected or used in this way. You can opt out of receiving targeted ads from members of the Network Advertising Initiative here: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/. You may opt out of receiving targeted ads from members of the Digital Advertising Alliance here: http://optout.aboutads.info/.

In your email, please indicate which mode(s) of communication you would like to opt-out of (i.e. postal mail, email, targeted advertising, or telephone contact). If you are visiting other websites and see an advertisement from Visit Orlando, there may be an opportunity to opt-out of future Visit Orlando ads on that site as managed by the third party provider through its opt-out function.
