1. Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in various ways. The information we may collect on the Website includes:

1.1 Personal Data: This includes personally identifiable information you voluntarily give us when you register or participate in website activities like online chats or message boards.

Your participation in these activities is always voluntary, allowing you to choose what information you disclose.

3. Disclosure of Your Information

We may share the information we’ve collected about you in specific situations:

3.1 By Law or to Protect Rights: If we believe releasing information about you is necessary to comply with legal processes, investigate potential policy violations, or protect the rights, property, or safety of others, we may share your information as permitted or required by applicable law. This includes exchanging information with other entities for fraud prevention and credit risk reduction.

3.2 Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your information with third parties who perform services for us or on our behalf. These services include data analysis, email delivery, hosting, customer service, and marketing assistance. For instance, if we use a third-party email service for newsletters, your email address would be shared with them.

3.6 Third-Party Advertisers: We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites (contained in web cookies) to provide advertisements about goods and services relevant to your interests.

3.8 Business Partners: We may share your information with our business partners to offer you specific products, services, or promotions.

3.9 Sale or Bankruptcy: In the event of a reorganization, sale of all or a portion of our assets, merger, or acquisition by another entity, your information may be transferred to the successor entity. If we cease operations or enter bankruptcy, your information could be an asset transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and that the transferee may not honor the commitments made in this Privacy Policy.

We are not responsible for the actions of third parties with whom you share personal or sensitive data, and we have no authority to manage or control third-party solicitations. If you no longer wish to receive communications from third parties, you are responsible for contacting them directly.

4. Tracking Technologies (Cookies and Web Beacons)

4.1 Cookies: We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on the Website to help customize it and improve your experience. When you access the Website, your personal information isn’t directly collected through these technologies. Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can remove or reject cookies, but be aware that this might affect the Website’s availability and functionality. You can’t decline web beacons, but they can be rendered ineffective by declining all cookies or by modifying your browser settings to notify you each time a cookie is submitted, allowing you to accept or decline cookies individually.

4.2 Advertising: Third-party advertising companies may display ads on the Website. These companies may use information about your visits to the Website and other websites (contained in web cookies) to provide advertisements relevant to your interests. This Privacy Policy doesn’t cover the practices of any third-party advertisers. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for more information.

4.3 Website Analytics: We may partner with selected third-party vendors, such as Google Analytics, to use tracking technologies and remarketing services on the Website. These technologies use first-party and third-party cookies to analyze and track user behavior, determine content popularity, and better understand online activity. By accessing the Website, you consent to the collection and use of your information by these vendors. We encourage you to review their privacy policies and contact them directly with any questions. We do not transfer personal information to these vendors. However, if you don’t want information collected and used by tracking technologies, you can visit the third-party vendor’s opt-out tool (e.g., Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out Tool or Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out Tool).

Please note that acquiring a new computer, installing a new browser, upgrading an existing browser, or erasing/altering your browser’s cookie files may also clear certain opt-out cookies, plug-ins, or settings.

5. Third-Party Websites

The Website may contain links to third-party websites and applications (including advertisements and external services) that are not affiliated with us. Once you use these links to leave our Website, any information you provide to those third parties is not covered by this Privacy Policy. We cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of your information on external sites. Before visiting and providing any information to any third-party websites, you should review their privacy policies and practices and take necessary steps to protect your privacy. We are not responsible for the content or privacy/security practices of any third parties, including other sites, services, or applications linked to or from the Website.

6. Security of Your Information

We employ administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we’ve taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. No method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or misuse. Any information disclosed online is vulnerable to interception and misuse by unauthorized parties. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security if you provide personal information.

7. Policy for Children

We do not knowingly solicit information from or market to children under the age of 13. If you become aware that we have collected any data from children under 13, please contact us using the information provided below.

8. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems/applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting that allows you to signal your privacy preference not to have your online Browse activities monitored and collected. Currently, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.
