    10. Where You are the source of the Customer Personal Information and We or our Vendors are operating as a business or third party, You act as a separate and independent business in connection with Customer Personal Information processed in connection with the Services, including to the extent you process any Vendor Data. In no event will the Parties be deemed to be jointly processing any Customer Personal Information.
    11. In connection with Services involving online targeted advertising, online identity resolution or personalized messaging, the Parties acknowledge that the IAB CCPA Compliance Framework for Publishers and Technology Companies, available at https://www.iab.com/guidelines/ccpa-framework/ (as may be amended from time to time, the “IAB Framework“) may be used as a tool to help facilitate consumer notice and choice.
