Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This creates a distinction between using personal information for ad targeting and using personally identifying information, which affects the degree of individual exposure in advertising.

Interpretive note: The excerpt states both that personal information is used for interest-based ads AND that personally identifying information is not used for that purpose. These two propositions are closely related but carry a potential tension: it is unclear from the excerpt alone what subset of 'personal information' falls outside 'information that personally identifies you.' Both propositions are included in the canonical claim because they are not fully independent—the second directly qualifies the first.
