4. Cookie Policy

The Sites may use cookies and similar technologies, such as web beacons, embedded scripts, pixels, and tags, to improve user experience, for performance and analytics, and to customize and enhance our content, products, and services. A “cookie” is a small text file that a web server stores in browser software. A browser sends cookies to a server when the browser makes a connection to that server (for example, when requesting a web page from the same domain that created the cookie). The general purpose of cookies is to remember a browser over time and distinguish one browser instance (or user) from all others. Some cookies and other technologies may track the personal data users provide when they interact with a site and may store such personal data. We use first-party and third-party cookies to ensure that our Sites function properly, to understand how individuals use and engage with our Sites, and to analyze and improve our Sites. Examples of cookies we use include:

  • Strictly Necessary. We may use cookies that are necessary to allow you to use and access our website, including cookies required to prevent fraudulent activity or improve security.
  • Performance-Related. We may use cookies to assess the performance of our website, including as part of our analytic practices or otherwise to improve the content, products, or services offered through our website.
  • Functionality-Related. We may use cookies that are required to offer you enhanced functionality when accessing our website.
  • Targeting-Related. We may use cookies to deliver content, including ads, relevant to your interests on our Sites and third-party websites based on how you interact with advertisements or content.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to block or delete all cookies in your browser’s settings using the links provided below. Please note that if you block essential cookies, certain parts of the Sites may not function properly. Please note that the Sites do not support “Do Not Track” requests sent from a browser at this time.

 

A. Analytics

We may use Google Analytics or other service providers for analytics services. Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Sites. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going tohttps://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

 

B. Third-Party Ad Networks

Certain companies may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") YourAdChoices Program and may display an Advertising Option Icon for Interest-based Ads that links to an opt-out tool that allows you to exercise certain choices regarding targeting. You can learn more about the DAA AdChoices Program at http://www.youradchoices.com and its opt-out program for mobile apps at http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices.

 

In addition, certain advertising networks and exchanges may participate in the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). NAI has developed a tool that allows consumers to opt out of certain Interest-based Ads delivered by NAI members' ad networks. To learn more about opting out of such targeted advertising or to use the NAI tool, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices. Note that even if you opt out of certain kinds of Interest-based Ads, you will continue to receive non-targeted ads. Opting out of one or more NAI or DAA members only means that those selected members should no longer deliver certain targeted ads to you pursuant to the DAA / NAI rules. Such an opt-out will affect certain services but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., from other ad networks). If your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit this opt-out page, or if you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different device or web browser(s), or use a non-browser-based method of access (e.g., mobile app), then your DAA / NAI browser-based opt-out may not, or may no longer, be effective. Mobile device opt-outs will not affect browser-based Interest-based Ads even on the same device, and you must opt-out separately for each device. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third party’s opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.

5. Your Rights and Choices

A. Electronic Marketing Communications

If you would like to stop receiving our electronic marketing or promotional messages and notifications, you may do so by following the unsubscribe instructions that appear in our email communications. You may also be able to manage your electronic communications preferences by contacting us using the information provided below. We will endeavor to comply with these requests as soon as reasonably practicable. Please be advised that you may not be able to opt out of receiving certain service or transactional messages from us that are required to provide you with our products and services.

B.  California “Shine the Light” Law

California residents additionally have the right to request information regarding third parties to whom the Company has disclosed certain categories of personal data during the preceding year for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes under California’s “Shine the Light” Law. We do not disclose personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes, and we permit you to opt out of any disclosures of non-identifiable personal data. However, if you are a California resident and would like to inquire further, please contact us using the information provided below. You must include your full name, email address, and postal address in your email or mail request so that we can verify your California residence and respond.

C. Your Nevada Privacy Rights

We do not “sell” personal data as that term is defined under Nevada Law. However, Nevada residents have the right to request to opt out of any future “sale” of their personal data under Nevada SB 220. If you would like to make such a request, please contact us using the information provided below. You must include your full name, email address, and postal address in your email or mail request so that we can verify your Nevada residence and respond. In the event we sell your personal data after the receipt of your request, we will make reasonable efforts to comply with such request. 

6.  Data Security and Retention

The privacy and security of your personal data is deeply important to us. To that end, the Company maintains technical, administrative and physical safeguards to help protect the security of your personal data against unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration, misuse, or disclosure. Your personal data is accessible to only a limited number of personnel who need access to the information to perform their duties. Please note, however, that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

 

We retain personal data for as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Policy. This information will be used and retained to the extent necessary to comply with any legal obligations or policies, to resolve disputes, and/or enforce legal agreements. We may also retain personal data for internal analytic purposes, including to enhance security features or improve the functionality of our Sites. Our determination of precise retention periods will be based on (i) the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you; (ii) whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject; and (iii) whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position, including regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations.

7. International Data Transfers 

The Company operates primarily in the United States, and our Sites are operated from the United States. If you interact with the Company and/or our Sites from outside of the United States, it is possible that your personal data or other information is transferred outside of your state, country, or other governmental jurisdiction for the Company to render the collection, use, and sharing practices disclosed elsewhere in this Policy.

Other jurisdictions, including theUnited States, may have data protection rules that are different from those of your jurisdiction. In any case, we will take measures to ensure that any such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and that your personal data remains protected to the standards described in this Policy. Personal data transferred to another country may be subject to lawful access requests by courts, law enforcement agencies, or other government authorities in those other countries.

8. Canadian Privacy Notice

This Canadian Privacy Notice (this “Notice”) is intended to provide additional information for residents of Canada. For the purposes of this Notice, "personal information" means information about an identifiable individual. Personal information does not include any business contact information that is solely used to communicate with you in relation to your employment, business or profession, such as your name, position name or title, work address, work telephone number, or work email address. Personal information also does not include information that has been de-identified, anonymized, or aggregated in such a way that there is no serious possibility it can be used to identify an individual, whether on its own or in combination with other available information.

We may collect, use, and disclose personal information as described in “What Information We Collect,” “Purposes for Collection,” and “Disclosing Information,” respectively.  

Under Canadian law, you have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal information as well as the right to withdraw your consent in certain circumstances.
