b. Information You Voluntarily Provide: In limited circumstances, you may choose to provide information directly to us, such as when you contact us via email (e.g., celtic@paloverde.media for Celtic Xtra) with an inquiry or a spontaneous writer application. This may include your name, email address, and any other details you include in your message.
(2) How Do We Use Your Information?

(3) How Do We Share Your Information?
We may share your information in the following circumstances:
- With Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party companies to perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, data analytics, and advertising technology. These partners are contractually obligated to handle your information securely and only for the purposes we specify.
- With Advertising Partners: We work with third-party advertising networks and platforms to serve ads on our Sites. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to our and other sites to provide you with targeted advertising. You can learn more about this practice and your choices in our Cookie Policy.

We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense. However, as described above, the use of third-party advertising technology may involve the sharing of data for targeted advertising purposes, which may be considered a “sale” or “share” under certain privacy laws. You can opt out of this as detailed in the “Your Rights and Choices” section.
