 cause us to delay planned uses and disclosures of data to comply with applicable privacy and data protection requirements. Moreover, if third
parties that we work with violate applicable laws or our policies, such violations also may put personal data at risk, which may result in increased regulatory scrutiny and have a material adverse effect to our reputation, business, results of
operations and financial condition.

Compliance with these privacy and data security requirements is rigorous and time-intensive and may
increase our cost of doing business and, despite these efforts, there is a risk that we fail to comply and may become subject to government enforcement actions, fines and penalties, litigation and reputational harm, which could materially and
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. All of these evolving compliance and operational requirements impose significant costs on us, such as costs related to organizational changes and implementing additional
protection technologies, which are likely to increase over time. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with any applicable federal or state laws, rules, regulations and guidelines relating to data privacy and security could result in
damage to our reputation and our relationship with our employees and consumers, as well as proceedings or litigation by governmental agencies or consumers, including class action privacy litigation in certain jurisdictions, which could subject us to
significant fines, sanctions, awards, penalties, corrective measures or judgments, any of which could result in costly investigations and litigation, civil or criminal penalties (including against officers), operational changes and negative
publicity that could adversely affect our reputation, as well as our results of operations and financial condition.

We employ third-party licensed software for use in our business, and the inability to maintain these licenses, errors in the software we license or the terms of open-source licenses could result in increased costs or reduced service levels, which would adversely affect our business.

Our business relies on certain third-party software obtained under licenses from other companies. We anticipate that we will continue to rely
on such third-party software in the future. Although we believe that there are commercially reasonable alternatives to the third-party software we currently license, this may not always be the case, or it may be difficult or costly to replace. In
addition, integration of new third-party software may require significant work and require substantial investment of our time and resources. Our use of additional or alternative third-party software would require us to enter into license agreements
with third parties, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Many of the risks associated with the use of third-party software
