7. ADVERTISING POLICY

RELIC WORDS LLC d/b/a SOUNDS BEYOND AFTERLIFE ("Provider," "we," "us," or "our") uses third-party advertising services and platforms—including analytics, pixels, SDKs, and device IDs—that employ cookies to deliver relevant/behavioral ads based on your site visits, app usage, and online activity across sites/services.

8. DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS

RELIC Do Not Track (DNT) is a browser preference/privacy signal requesting sites/apps not to track users across sites for tailored ads/profiling. No universal standard governs DNT implementation/interpretation across the industry.

RELIC WORDS LLC d/b/a SOUNDS BEYOND AFTERLIFE ("Provider") monitors DNT signals where received but does not alter core tracking/ad practices solely based on them, as they lack consensus. Instead, we respect equivalent privacy preferences through:

• Browser/device cookie controls (block 3rd-party).

• Opt-outs in Advertising Policy (Sec7).

• Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals, if supported by tools.

• Applicable "do not sell/share" rights.

Examples: Enabling DNT sends signal; we detect but rely on cookie banners/opt-outs for compliance. Vendors may handle independently.

Update browser preferences or contact us for concerns. Policy reviewed periodically.

9. BEHAVIORAL TRACKING
