We reserve the right to make use of any such aggregated data as we see fit.

4. HOW WE USE COOKIES AND RESPOND TO ‘DO NOT TRACK’ SIGNALS

Do Not Track: Some browsers provide you with a way to signal that you do not want your browsing activity to be tracked. The Services may not currently respond to all Do Not Track (“DNT”) or similar signals, as we are awaiting consensus from the Internet policy and legal community on the meaning of DNT and the best way to respond to these signals.

Cookies: To make our Sites and Services work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, shopping cart, or other preferences) over a period of time, so you do not have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. Learn more.

Google Analytics: We may use Google Analytics. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve the Services. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy for more information. You may also choose to download the Google Analytics opt-out
browser add-on.

You may wish to restrict the use of cookies. Please be aware that some of the features of our Services may not function correctly if you disable cookies. Most modern browsers allow you to change your cookie settings. You can usually find these settings in the options or preferences menu of your browser. To understand these settings, the following links for commonly used browsers may be helpful:

• Cookie settings in Chrome
• Cookie settings in Firefox
• Cookie settings in Microsoft Edge
• Cookie settings in Safari web and iOS

5. HOW WE RESPOND TO USERS UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE

Our Services are not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided below. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.

6. HOW WE SECURE AND RETAIN YOUR INFORMATION

Data Security: We take the security of your information seriously and implement appropriate measures to protect it from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the security of users’ personal information.

We offer the use of a secure server. Any sensitive data supplied, such as credit card information, is transmitted through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and, upon payment, is encrypted through our database providers, accessible only by authorized persons and with special rights of access to the mentioned systems, which are also obliged to keep the information confidential. After a commercial transaction, users’ private information (credit cards, social security numbers, bank information, etc.) will not be stored on our servers.

However, no website, application, or transmission can guarantee security. Thus, while we have established and maintain what we believe to be appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of personal information obtained through the Services, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.

Data Retention: We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted
by law. When determining the retention period, we take into account various criteria, such as the type of products and services requested by or provided to you, the nature and length of our relationship with you, possible re-enrollment with our products or services, the impact on the services we provide to you if we delete some information from or about you, mandatory retention periods provided by law and the statute of limitations.

7. HOW A CHANGE IN CONTROL MAY AFFECT YOUR INFORMATION

Personal information may be transferred to a third party because of a sale, acquisition, merger, reorganization, or other change in control. If we sell, merge, or transfer any part of the business, part of the sale may include your personal information.

8. HOW WE MAY UPDATE THIS PRIVACY POLICY

This policy may be periodically updated. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to ensure you are familiar with the most current version. Please review carefully before submitting personal information to our Services. The date the Privacy Policy was last updated is indicated at the top of this page.
