through printed documents, records, and materials; and
when you interact with our advertising, marketing, and applications on third-party websites and services, if those applications or advertising include links to this policy.
through a certain third-party application (“modal”), with which you agree to share limited personal information so that Ibby may assist you with Ibby account set-up and send marketing emails to you.
It does not apply to information we collect:
offline or through any other means, including on any other website operated by Ibby or any third-party; or
through most third-party website or application, including through any application or content (including advertising or marketing) that may link to or be accessible from or on the Site.
