It will contain some anonymous information such as a unique identifier, a website’s domain name, and some digits and numbers. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your Device. At no time will our cookies collect your personal information.

When you visit our Website, we may store certain types of persistent cookies on your Device in order to authorize access to our private content and to facilitate and customize your use of our Site. A persistent cookie remembers information, settings, preferences, or sign-on credentials that the user has previously saved.

Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies let us operate the Site in accordance with the choices you make. For example, we will recognize your username and remember the choices that you made to your account during future visits.

Analytical cookies

These cookies enable us and third-party service providers to collect aggregated data for statistical purposes on how our visitors use our Site. These cookies do not contain or collect personal information and are merely used to help us improve your user experience of the Site.

Once you leave our Site, our persistent cookies remain on your hard drive, although some expire after 6 months or 1 year. This helps create a convenient and faster Site experience.

In addition, we may use cookies to: (1) allow you to use the Site without having to re-enter your user name and password (if applicable); (2) enhance or personalize your Site usage and shopping experience; (3) monitor Site usage; (4) manage the Site; and (5) improve the Site and our products and services, including providing you with interest-based ads tailored to your Device.

However, if your browser is set to reject cookies or you manually delete cookies, you may have some trouble accessing and using some of the pages and features that are currently on our Site, or that we may put on our Site in the future. Note that browser-management tools for cookies are outside of our control and we cannot guarantee their effectiveness. We may combine the information we collect through cookies, web beacons, or other technology tools with other information we have collected from you or information from other sources.

1. Your Choices.

If you sign up for our mailing list, we will send you informational emails about offers of services. At any time, you can ‘unsubscribe’ yourself from our email list simply by clicking the ‘unsubscribe’ button. If you do not wish to receive communications from us about special offers and promotions, you can opt-out of receiving these communications by following the instructions contained in the messages you receive. Even if you opt-out of receiving these messages, we reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to the services we provide, and we may send you service announcements and administrative messages. We do not offer you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving those communications.

1. Disclosure of Information.

We may disclose information collected from and about you as follows: (1) to our platform partners and other related companies and service providers, to perform a business, professional or technical support function for us; (2) to our business, sales and marketing partners and affiliates, advertisers or other third parties, who may contact you with their own offers; (3) as necessary if we believe that there has been a violation of the Site Terms of Use or of our rights or the rights of any third party; (4) to respond to legal process (such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order) and provide information to law enforcement agencies or in connection with an investigation on matters related to public safety, as permitted by law, or otherwise as required by law; and (5) in the event that our Company or substantially all of its assets are acquired, or there is a re-structuring, your personal information may be one of the transferred assets. We may also disclose your personal information with your express consent. We may share aggregate, non-personally identifiable information about Site users with third parties.

Please note that if you voluntarily submit any personal information for posting on the Site, such as a review, a communication post, or a blog post, the information becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by others, so you should use care before posting information about yourself online.

1. Interest-Based Advertising.

We may use third-party advertising companies that use tracking technologies to serve our advertisements across the Internet. These companies may collect information about your visits to the Site and other websites and your interaction with our advertising and other communications. These advertising companies serve ads on behalf of us and others on non-affiliated sites, and some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information collected about your visits to the Site and elsewhere over time. Other companies may also use such technology to advertise on our Site. You have the choice to tell us not to collect and use this information, and in some jurisdictions, we will only engage in interest-based advertising if you opt-in.

1. Retention of Personal Information.

We will keep your personal information while you have an account with us or while we are providing products or services to you. Thereafter, we will keep your personal information for as long as is necessary:

• To respond to any questions, complaints or claims made by you or on your behalf;
• To show that we treated you fairly; or
• To keep records required by law.

We will not retain your personal information for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy. Different retention periods apply for different types of personal information.

When it is no longer necessary to retain your personal information, we will delete or anonymize it.

1. Security.

We maintain reasonable and appropriate measures designed to maintain information we collect in a secure manner. We have taken certain physical, electronic, and administrative steps to safeguard and secure the information we collect from visitors to the Site. Even though we follow commercially reasonable procedures to try to protect your information in our possession, no security system is perfect and we cannot promise, and you should not expect, that your information will be secure in all circumstances.

1. Children.

The Site is not directed to children (anyone under 13 years of age), nor do we knowingly solicit or collect any personal information from children without verifiable parental consent. If we discover that we have received any personal information from a child, we will investigate promptly and then delete such information from our system if warranted. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a child and you become aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us promptly using the contact information detailed in the “Contact Us” section below. Parents and legal guardians always have the right to inspect any information that we may have inadvertently collected from their child, and have the right to have us delete it.

1. Third Party Websites.

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, such as social media sites, i.e., Facebook and X (formerly Twitter), which may have privacy policies that differ from our own. We are not responsible for the activities and practices that take place on these third party websites. Accordingly, we recommend that you review the privacy policies posted on any external site before disclosing any personal information. Please contact those websites directly if you have any questions about their privacy policies.

1. Changes to This Privacy Policy.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time, including as required to keep current with rules and regulations, new technologies and security standards. When we do, we will post the change(s) on our Site. If we change the policy in a material and retroactive manner, we will attempt to provide appropriate notice to you.

XII.   Basis for Processing Personal Data.

We may process personal data under the following conditions:

• Consent: You have given your consent for processing personal data for one or more specific purposes.
• Performance of a contract: Provision of personal data is necessary for the performance of an agreement with you and/or for any pre-contractual obligations.
• Legal obligations: Processing personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the Company is subject.
• Legitimate interests: Processing personal data is necessary for the purposes of legitimate business or commercial interests pursued by the Company.

In any case, we will gladly help to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and whether the personal data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information, so long as this is not overridden by your own rights and interests.

The table below explains what we use (process) your personal information for and our reasons for doing so:

1. Promotional Communications.

We may use your personal information to send you updates by email about our products and services, including exclusive offers, promotions or new products and services.

We have a legitimate interest in processing your personal information for promotional purposes (see above “Basis for Processing Personal Data”). This means we do not usually need your consent to send you promotional communications via email. However, where consent is needed, we will ask for this consent separately and clearly.

We will always treat your personal information with the utmost respect.

You have the right to opt out of receiving promotional communications via email at any time by contacting us by using the contact information detailed in “Contact Us” below;

1. Where Your Personal Information is Held.

Personal information may be held at our offices and those of our third party service providers, representatives and agents as described above (see “Disclosure of Information”).

Some of these third parties may be based outside the U.S.A. or European Economic Area. For more information, including on how we safeguard your personal information when this occurs, see “Transferring Your Personal Information between the U.S. and the EEA” below.

1. Transferring Your Personal Information between the U.S. and the EEA.

To deliver services to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your personal information between the U.S.A. and the European Economic Area (EEA).

As an example, your information, including personal data, is processed at the Company's operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. It means that this information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction.

If you submit any personal information to us, you expressly consent to this Privacy Policy, including our ability to transfer your personal information between jurisdictions.

The Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your personal data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.

If you would like further information, please contact us or our Data Protection Officer (see “Contact Us” below).

1. Access, Correction, & Deletion.

We respect your right to access and correct your personal information. You may exercise your rights, subject to applicable laws, to request that we delete or restrict access to your personal data. We may need to retain it for legally permitted purposes and this will be explained to you if necessary.

If you need assistance correcting or updating your personal information, or would like to request that we delete your personal information, please contact us using the contact information detailed in the “Contact Us” section below.

• If you experience any unusual behavior, content or ads on the Site, it may be the result of Malware on your computer. Malware -- short for malicious software -- is a term used to broadly classify a form of software which is installed in a computer system with malicious intentions, usually without the owner's knowledge or permission. Malware includes computer viruses, key loggers, malicious active content, rogue programs and dialers, among others. While we continuously work closely with our partners to ensure that everything on the Site is working properly, sometimes Malware programs on your personal computer may interfere with your experience on the Site and on other sites that you visit. If you do discover any Malware on your system, we suggest you speak with a qualified computer technician.
