2. Event Data

You will (or will cause Attribution Partner to) provide Snap with mutually agreed upon Event Data sufficient for Attribution. You agree that Snap may reproduce, compile, match against, combine with other data, use, and take all necessary actions with the Event Data for purposes of Attribution and for providing advertising services.

You agree to refrain from taking any action that would cause any transfers of Conversion Data to or from you to qualify as “selling personal information” under the CCPA. If you provide a third party with Conversion Data or access to Conversion Data, or contract any of your rights or obligations under these Terms concerning Conversion Data to a third party, you will enter into a written agreement with each such third party that imposes obligations on the third party that are at least equivalent to those imposed on you under these Terms.
