AOL UK Privacy Policy Highlights
This is our new look privacy policy as of May 26th 2012. No substantive changes have been made as to what we can do with your data from our previous privacy policy, a copy of which is available for review for a short time at AOL Help.

Personal Information
We or data processors acting under our control may collect information which may identify you or your web services account ("Personal Information") when you make your information known, such as by registering or logging into AOL or the Huffington Post UK, authenticating, making purchases, or interacting with AOL.

How we use your Information

Internet Advertising
Our ability to provide the AOL Web Services depends on advertising provided by our advertising services offered by AOL affiliates, like AOL Advertising and Tacoda (the "AOL Advertising Network"). Some of the adverts on the AOL Web Services are displayed based on the page visited, but many of the adverts provided by the AOL Advertising Network are targeted to you based on your interests and other information we have about you. We want you to understand how internet advertising works and offer resources and choices. Learn more.
