Your communications preferences
You can choose whether you wish to receive promotional communications from Sysoon by email, SMS, physical mail, and telephone. If you receive promotional email or SMS messages from us and would like to opt out, you can do so by following the directions in that message. You can also make choices about the receipt of promotional email, telephone calls, and postal mail by signing in with your personal Sysoon account, and viewing your communication permissions where you can update contact information, manage Sysoon-wide contact preferences, opt out of email subscriptions, and choose whether to share your contact information with Sysoon partners. If you do not have a personal Sysoon account, you can manage your Sysoon email contact preferences by using this web form. These choices do not apply to mandatory service communications that are part of certain Sysoon products, programs, activities, or to surveys or other informational communications that have their own unsubscribe method.
Your advertising choices
To opt out of receiving interest-based advertising from Sysoon, visit our opt-out page. When you opt out, your preference is stored in a cookie that is specific to the web browser you are using. The opt-out cookie has an expiration date of five years. If you delete the cookies on your device, you need to opt out again.
You can also link your opt-out choice with your personal Sysoon account. It will then apply on any device where you use that account and will continue to apply until someone signs in with a different personal Sysoon account on that device. If you delete the cookies on your device, you will need to sign in again for the settings to apply.
For Sysoon-controlled advertising that appears in apps on Windows, you may use the opt-out linked to your personal Sysoon account, or opt out of interest-based advertising by turning off the advertising ID in Windows settings.
Because the data used for interest-based advertising is also used for other required purposes (including providing our products, analytics, and fraud detection), opting out of interest-based advertising does not stop that data collection. You will continue to get ads, although they may be less relevant to you.
You can opt out of receiving interest-based advertising from third parties we partner with by visiting their sites (see above).
Browser-based controls
When you use a browser, you can control your personal data using certain features. For example:
- Cookie controls. You can control the data stored by cookies and withdraw consent to cookies by using the browser-based cookie controls described in the Cookies section of this privacy statement.
- Tracking protections. You can control the data third-party sites can collect about you using Tracking Protection in Internet Explorer (versions 9 and up) and Sysoon Edge. This feature will block third-party content, including cookies, from any site that is listed in a Tracking Protection List you add.
- Browser controls for "Do Not Track." Some browsers have incorporated "Do Not Track" (DNT) features that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, Sysoon services do not currently respond to browser DNT signals. We continue to work with the online industry to define a common understanding of how to treat DNT signals. In the meantime, you can use the range of other tools we provide to control data collection and use, including the ability to opt out of receiving interest-based advertising from Sysoon as described above.
