If you are logged in, we may associate that information with your account. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. "Web Beacons") in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened by recipients.

We may, however, use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major I Heart Cristina Site changes or for customer service purposes).
- We use both your personally identifiable information and certain non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, etc.) to improve the quality and design of the I Heart Cristina Sites and to create new features, promotions, functionality, and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing User preferences and trends.

Your Choices
- You may, of course, decline to submit personally identifiable information through the I Heart Cristina Sites, in which case you can still view videos and explore the I Heart Cristina Sites, but I Heart Cristina may not be able to provide certain services to you. The privacy notices of those services govern the use of your personal information associated with them.
