| 30 | 30 | We use your personal information to operate, provide, develop, and improve the products and services that we offer our customers. These purposes include: |
| 31 | 31 | |
| 32 | 32 | - **Purchase and delivery of products and services.** We use your personal information to take and handle orders, deliver products and services, process payments, and communicate with you about orders, products and services, and promotional offers. |
| 67 | 67 | |
| 68 | 68 | - **Third-Party Advertisers and Links to Other Websites.** Amazon Services may include third-party advertising and links to other websites and apps. Third-party advertising partners may collect information about you when you interact with their content, advertising, and services. For more information about third-party advertising at Amazon, including interest-based ads, please read our [Interest-Based Ads policy](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/BIT/InternetBasedAds). To adjust your advertising preferences, please go to the [Advertising Preferences](https://www.amazon.ca/adprefs) page. |
| 69 | 69 | - **Use of Third-Party Advertising Services.** We provide ad companies with information that allows them to serve you with more useful and relevant Amazon ads and to measure their effectiveness. We never share your name or other information that directly identifies you when we do this. Instead, we use an advertising identifier like a cookie or other device identifier. For example, if you have already downloaded one of our apps, we will share your advertising identifier and data about that event so that you will not be served an ad to download the app again. Some ad companies also use this information to serve you relevant ads from other advertisers. You can learn more about how to opt-out of interest-based advertising by going to the [Advertising Preferences](https://www.amazon.ca/adprefs) page. |
