For example, we use identity, device and location information to prevent fraud and abuse and to keep the Services and our products and services secure. We also may send to you promotional communications about the Services and our products and services, subject to your right to control whether we do so. We analyze how users interact with the Services and our products and services, so that we can understand better what elements of the Services and our products and services, including their designs, are working well and which are not working so well. This allows us to improve and develop the quality of the online experience that we offer all our users.
