We may allow advertisers, including merchants ("Advertisers"), to choose groups of users to see their listings, advertisements or promotional offers based on common features of a group of users, such as similar usage patterns. For example, if you buy products related to wine, we may show you an offer for a service that sells wine or similar products. If an advertiser asks us to show an ad to a certain audience or audience segment and you respond to that ad, the advertiser may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they were trying to reach.
