  1. Our Commitment To Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, change, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls.

Warning: The transmission of information over the Internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted through the Site. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures used by the Site.

 

  1. Links To Other Sites

The Site may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that we do not operate, control, or endorse third-party sites that may be linked on the Site, nor are we responsible for the content or privacy practices of those other websites. We disclaim any responsibility for the information on other websites, and we do not make any warranties or representations that any linked sites (or even this Site) will function without error or interruption, that defects will be corrected, or that the Sites and their servers are free of viruses or other problems that may harm your computer. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave the Site and to read the privacy statements of any other website that collects personally identifiable information.

 

  1. Do Not Track Policy

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that you can set in your browser. DNT is a way for you to inform websites and services that you do not want certain information about your webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information we collect and that is why we provide you the ability to opt out. However, we do not recognize or respond to any DNT signals as the Internet industry works toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT. For more information, visit www.allaboutdnt.com. 

 

  1. Your California Privacy Rights

California Civil Code § 1798.83 permits users of the Site that are California residents to request certain information about our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. However, we do not collect or disclose your personal information.

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 provides additional privacy rights and protections to California users; however, these additional rights and protections do not apply to us or your use of our Services, because we do not sell your data and/or because we do not meet the triggers set forth in the law.

 

  1. Your Nevada Privacy Rights 

Nevada Revised Statute Chapter 603A provides Nevada residents who provide personal information to websites that meet certain thresholds with certain opt-out rights. However, we currently do not sell data triggering the opt-out right requirements in Nevada.

Some countries may require stricter privacy policies than those described in this document. If you are visiting our Site from such a country, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the country where our servers are located and our central databases are operated. The data protection and other laws of our home jurisdiction might not be as comprehensive as those in your country. By using our Services, you understand that your information may be transferred to our facilities and those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Policy. When you provide personal information to us through the Services, you consent to the processing of your data in, and the transfer of your data to, our home jurisdiction or any other country in which we or our affiliates, subsidiaries, or service providers host these Services.
