Embed third-party tracking.

Monitor your interaction with their content (including if you have an account and are logged in on that website).

5. Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username, which cannot be changed).

Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
