We may share your personal information with Endeavor and with selected third parties including:
We may disclose your personal information to third parties:
WME FASHION hosts events around the world. Some of these events are owned by WME FASHION or an Endeavor affiliate, others are produced by us working with one or more partners, and some are owned by one or more of our partners. Where an event includes a named sponsor, WME FASHION or its affiliate shares some marketing and other information about you with that sponsor so that you can attend or participate in the events. When we are managing an event that is owned by someone else, your data may be collected and used by us to host the event and to market other Endeavor content to you, and we will also share that data with the owner of the event.
We use your personal information to tailor our marketing and advertising efforts. To do this, we provide your information to third party advertising networks (such as Google Doubleclick) and social media companies (such as Facebook). When we provide data to agencies, ad networks, and other parties for targeted advertising, we do not provide them with your name, financial information, or any sensitive information (such as a government ID or date of birth, if we have collected that). We use online identifiers such as email, cookie IDs, and device identifiers to help us provide targeted advertising to you and others like you. We may also use aggregate information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target. We may make use of the personal information we have collected from you to enable us to display advertisements to target audiences.
To opt out of targeted advertising, you may use the following links provided by third parties that manage opt outs for some ad networks:

You may be able to use social sharing features and other integrated tools on the Site such as the Facebook “Like” button. These features and tools may permit you to share actions you take on our Service with other media, and vice versa. Your use of such features enables the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the service that provides the social sharing feature.

For more information about GPC and how to implement it on your browser, please visit globalprivacycontrols.org.
Please note that certain web browsers may also transmit “do-not-track” signals to the websites with which the user communicates.

Specifically, the personal information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the United Kingdom (“UK”) or European Economic Area (“EEA”), including the United States.

In the case of transfers to us, we will put in place appropriate safeguards to ensure that your information remains protected under the standards required by the sender’s jurisdiction.
