Cookies and Tracking Technology

When you access the website, we (and third-party companies we work with) may collect and store certain information by using technologies such as server logs, cookies, web beacons, clear gifs, tags, e-tags, flash cookies, log files, pixels, code, Javascript packages, mobile advertising IDs (such as Facebook ID or Google's Advertising ID), cross-device linking, and similar technologies.

We may use this information to understand general usage and volume statistics, how users navigate to and around our Site, what content is viewed or accessed, and which services have been obtained. We may also use these technologies to keep track of your preferences and profile information and to allow third-parties to provide analytics and advertising services and serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and in mobile applications. For example, our advertising partners may use the fact that you visited our Site to target advertising to you on other websites and mobile apps on your current device or on other devices you use. They may match your browsers or devices if you log into the same online service on multiple devices. These third parties partners may use this information for our and their own advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a “do not track” feature. It lets you tell website you visit that you do not want them to track your online activity. These features are not yet uniform across browsers. Our Site is thus not currently set up to respond to these signals. For more information on Do Not Track signals, please visit https://allaboutdnt.com/.

Links to Other Websites

Our Site may include links to other websites or applications whose privacy practices may differ from ours. If you submit personal information to any of those websites or applications, your information is governed by their privacy policies. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any website you visit or application that you use.

Security

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us and have implemented reasonable technical, organization, administrative and physical measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security and encourage you to use websites and share information with caution

We do not knowingly collect or store any personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have collected or stored personal information from an individual under age 13, we will remove his or her personal information from our files.
