When personalized advertising is based on information collected about your activity outside of the CBS Services by an advertiser, shopping site, search engine, social network, or other third party site or service (“Third Party Personalized Advertising” or “Cross-Site Personalized Advertising”), those third parties use cookies and other online tracking technologies to access a unique identifier associated with your device (for example, the device’s IP address, a cookie ID for a cookie stored in a web browser on your device, or an advertising ID associated with your mobile device that can be reset by you) in order to match you to a profile they control and decide which ads you should see.
Notes
Opt-out only available on external sites.
Even if there is a reasonable delay before the data is fully deleted (as is common), the data still counts as "permanently deleted" and satisfies the parameters for this question.

You can always contact us using the contact information provided in this Privacy Policy to update, amend, or delete your information.
This may come in the form of outright data sharing or by using local third-party analytics software (such as Google Analytics, which collects a plethora of user information).
Note that whether the policy allows sharing aggregated user data does not affect this question.
If the personal data is encrypted when it passes through the third-party, it does not count as third-party access (as the data is inaccessible to that party).
If personal data has been made public by, for example, posting it to a blog, it does not count as private personal information (and is therefore not considered by this question).

TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you use CBS Services, we collect a few different types, or “categories,” of information. This information generally falls within three broad categories: (a) the information you provide to us, (b) the information we collect automatically when you use our services, and (c) information we obtain from other sources. We describe this information, and the primary purpose for which it is used, below. The full description of how we use the personal information we collect is also provided below.
Information You Provide To Us
CBS Services collects information you provide to us, including:
Registration Information. When you register for certain services, complete any application form, or enter contests or competitions, we sometimes ask you for your name, email address, postal address, demographic information, and any preferences that you may have (e.g., which newsletters you would like to receive). We use this to provide access to certain CBS Services, personalize them, and remember your preferences.
Billing and Payment Information. When you place an order with us or access a particular service, we will collect certain payment and identity verification information, including your name, email address, and credit card information. We use this to bill you for your use of the CBS Services.
Information You Post on the CBS Services. We collect personal information from you when you provide or post information to our Services, including your user name, comments, likes, interests, status, pictures and references to your online presence. We make this information available to others, as you request.
Correspondence You Send Us. When you contact us directly by calling our offices or providing feedback, comments or suggestions on programs and other activities, we may collect the information you provide as part of your correspondence to Us. We use this to provide services to you and to learn about your interests and concerns.
Information You Provide About Others. Sometimes, you may provide information about others — for example, to refer a friend to certain CBS Services. We use this to make the CBS Services available to the people you refer.
Information you Provide Offline. You might also provide personal information to us in person and offline. You may be recorded if you visit our offices (including by security surveillance of our premises, including CCTV), or attend a live performance or the taping of one of our programs as a member of a studio audience, or, if you submit sweepstakes entrance forms or an application to participate in one of our programs by mail or in person. We use this information to provide services to you, protect our security, and learn about your preferences.
Information Collected Automatically Through Cookies and Other Online Tracking Technologies
We and our service providers operating on our behalf, other businesses who collect information on our pages, may automatically collect or receive certain information associated with you and/or your device(s) as part of your use of the CBS Services through device-based tracking technologies such as cookies, pixels, tags, beacons, scripts or other technology. For more information about cookies and other tracking technologies visit privacy.cbs/cookies. The information we collect automatically includes geolocation data, such as (a) information that identifies the precise location of your mobile device (when you agree to allow an app to collect this) and (b) your IP address, which may be used to estimate your approximate location. We use this information to ensure that the CBS Services work properly, and to deliver customized content and advertising, including personalized ads, to you.
Information We Obtain From Other Sources
The CBS Services collect information about you from other sources, such as publicly available databases and other third parties that have the right to share your personal information. The categories of information we get from these other sources include:
Contact information, such as name, email address, postal address, and telephone number, used to contact you;
Demographic data, such as age, gender, and income level, used to customize content and advertising, and learn about our audiences;

If you access third party social networking services (e.g., Facebook, Twitter) through a CBS Service, or if you access a CBS Service through one of these services, we may receive your username and password for those services and other information available about you or collected from you on those services, used to customize content and advertising and learn about our audiences and the popularity of our content, as described further in our Video Services and Social Networking Policy available at privacy.cbs/videoservices;
We collect information about you through interactive applications (e.g., mobile devices, third party social networking services, and embedded audio and video players), from co-branded partners and websites (e.g., on our Facebook pages), from our advertisers, and from commercially available sources (e.g., data aggregators and public databases).
