Google can only show the ads on websites that are part of the Google Display Network.

These details are kept confidential, and we do not sell information to any third-party entities. While we implement a variety of security precautions to protect all personal information submitted through this website, we cannot guarantee its absolute security, as no method of online data transmission or storage is 100% secure.
As noted in our disclaimer, this website may contain links to other third-party entities. Just as we are not in control of the content contained on these outside websites, neither are we responsible for their privacy policies and practices.
