We may use “cookies” to assist in data collection and to track visitor usage and trends to help us better serve you. The use of cookies is a standard practice among internet web sites; most internet browsers permit a user to accept, decline or delete cookies. We may use persistent cookies to make it easier for you to navigate the Services. Specifically, we may use persistent cookies to track whether you are logged into the Services. A persistent cookie may remain on your local device for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your internet browser’s “help” function.

What about Ads and Information About You?

The Site may use third parties, such as network advertisers and ad exchanges, to serve advertisements on and off of the Site, and may use third-party analytics and other service providers to evaluate and provide Us and/or third parties with information about the use of the Site and viewing of ads and of our content. Network advertisers are third parties that display advertisements based on your visits and activities across the Internet and mobile media (“Behavioral Ads”).

In addition, we may serve ads on the Services based on your usage information from your activities on the Services (“Contextual Ads”). Behavioral Ads and Contextual Ads enable us to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested. If you object to Contextual Ads, do not use the Services. If you object to Behavioral Ads from us on third-party sites, you can learn more about your ability to limit Behavioral Ads below.

Further, while we and third-party sites that display our ads may use a variety of companies to serve advertisements, you may wish to visit https://optout.networkadvertising.org, which provides information regarding this practice by Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) members, and your choices regarding having this information used by these companies, including the “opt-out” procedures of NAI members. Similarly, you can also find information from a similar group, the Digital Advertising Alliance, here: https://optout.aboutads.info.

In the event that we allow third-parties to display advertisements that are directly targeted at users in the EU, please visit http://www.youronlinechoices.com to learn more about your options. Similar limitations may apply to these opt-out methods. We are not responsible for effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third parties’ opt-out options or programs.

How Do We Protect Your PII?

We follow commercially accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to or collected by us, both during transmission and once we receive it. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee its absolute security. In the event of an inadvertent disclosure of your personal information, we will take all commercially reasonable steps to limit and remedy the disclosure as required by the applicable law. In light of the foregoing, your use and access of the Services is at your own risk. If you have any questions about security of our Services, please contact us in the manner set forth under the heading “How Can You Contact Us?” below.

How Far Does Our Responsibility Extend?

This Privacy Policy applies to the Services that are owned and operated by us. The Services and our communications to you may contain links to other third-party sites that may offer products or services that our users might find useful.

We do not and cannot control the privacy policies, contents or links that appear on these third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites or services before providing any of them with your personal information.

You can help us maintain the accuracy of your information by notifying us of any changes to your personal information as soon as possible.

Your California Privacy Rights

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), California residents have certain rights relating to collection, use, and sharing of their personal information for companies that do a minimum amount of business in or with California residents.

We do not meet the minimum necessary requirements to be subject to the CCPA. However, we also do not sell your personal information and will not do so in the future without providing you with notice and an opportunity to opt-out of such sale if required by law. Similarly, we do not offer financial incentives associated with our collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information.

If you are a resident of California, you have the right to request to know what personal information has been collected about you, and to access that information. You also have the right to request deletion of your personal information, though exceptions under the CCPA may allow us to retain and use certain personal information notwithstanding your deletion request. You may also send your request to us by contacting us at the address below under “How can you contact us?.”

Separate from the CCPA, California’s Shine the Light law gives California residents the right to ask companies what personal information they share with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose your personal information to third parties for the purpose of directly marketing their goods or services to you unless you request such disclosure. If you have any questions regarding this policy, or would like to change your preferences, you may contact us at the address listed below.

Also, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits customers who are California residents and who have provided us with “personal information” (as that term is defined in Section 1798.83) to request certain information about the disclosure of that information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If you are a California resident with questions regarding this, please contact us in the manner set forth under the heading “How can you contact us?.”

Do Not Track

Certain web browsers and other devices you may use to access the Services may permit you to submit your preference that you do not wish to be “tracked” online. We do not currently commit to responding to these submissions, in part, because no common industry standard for “do not track” has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies, or regulators. We will make efforts to monitor developments around Do Not Track browser technology and the implementation of a standard. For information about DNT, please visit: www.allaboutdnt.org.

• Suspend or restrict Our use of your Personal Data, or withdraw your consent;

• Complain to a supervisory authority if you believe your rights under the GDPR are not being respected.

Should you request the deletion of your Personal Data, we will generally do so as soon as practicable, although your right to have your Personal Data deleted is subject to exceptions, such as, for example, compliance with a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. 

If you consider that Our processing of your personal information infringes data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. you may do so in the EU member state of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

Note that, if you are in the EEA, we may transfer your Personal Data outside of the EEA, including to the United States. By way of example, this may happen if your Personal Data is transferred to Our servers located in a country outside of the EEA. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the EEA. By submitting your Personal Data, you’re agreeing to this transfer, storing, or processing. If we transfer your information outside of the EEA in this way, we will take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this policy.
