“Cookies” are electronic files created by your web browser that many websites place on a visitor’s computer to store information that makes each visit to a respective site more efficient. Our Sites may use both “session” and “persistent” cookies. Session cookies store information about you only while you are visiting our site, and is then deleted when you leave our site. Persistent cookies store information about you, your preferences, and information about other websites you visit, and remains on your computer or device after you leave our website. To remove cookies, you may configure your browser to clear all cookies, or configure it to reject cookies whenever you visit a new website. Please consult your browser’s documentation for specific instructions on removing cookies.

“Beacons” are small graphic files with a unique identifier that are used to track a web or mobile site user’s online activities. Unlike cookies, beacons are embedded on websites, not downloaded on your computer or device. Our Sites may use beacons to better manage content on our website, our emails, and through our other software.

As discussed above, we use third party providers to improve the quality of our website, our online services, and to give you access to more relevant information.

Please refer to their privacy policy or cookie policy for additional details.

In Short:   We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). No purpose in this policy will require us keeping your personal information for longer than 2 years.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.


7.  HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short:   We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure, nor can we guarantee that our third parties are 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Sites is at your own risk. You should only access the services within a secure environment.


8.  DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

In Short:   We do not knowingly collect data from children under 18 years of age.

While some of our content may appeal to a younger audience, we do not knowingly solicit data from children under 18 years of age. In our Software, we employ neutral age screens with an age gate before asking for consent to share data. Minors are not allowed to give consent to share data and we configure our 3rd party frameworks accordingly. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected we will take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records and delete their account from our servers (when that is applicable). If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under age 18, please contact us immediately.


9.  WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short:   In some regions, such as the European Economic Area, you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.

In some regions (like the European Economic Area), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; and (iv) if applicable, to data portability. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. To make such a request, please use the contact details provided below. We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note however that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal.

If you are resident in the European Economic Area and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm

10.  CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. 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 inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.


11.  DO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short:   Yes, if you are a resident of California, you are granted specific rights regarding access to your personal information.

If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to us using the contact information provided below.
