For example, if you search for a specific term, we may show you promoted content related to that topic. We also might customize ads using other information about you, such as your profile information; your mobile device location (if <a href="https://support.twitter.com/articles/118492-how-to-use-the-location-feature-on-mobile-devices#" target="_blank">location features</a> are turned on); your IP address; or the apps installed on your device. This helps us show you local ads and other ads that you might prefer.</p> <p>X may also personalize ads based on information that X and our affiliates collect and that our ad partners share with us, such as a hashed email address, a mobile device identifier, or browser-related information (a browser cookie ID).</p> <p>This helps X display ads about things you’ve already shown interest in from brands and businesses that you may like. For example, you could receive a Promoted Ad about a deal or promotion from a business whose website you frequent, or email newsletter you subscribe to. You could also see this business as a Follower Ad in one of your "Who to Follow" suggestions.
