Sales of Personal Information:

In the preceding twelve (12) months, Company has not sold any personal information for monetary value. However, we have shared personal information with third-parties in exchange for services, such as analytics on the usage of our Website or placement of targeted offers and ads, as described above. This exchange of personal information can be considered a "sale" as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act. Please see the section below titled "Exercising Your Privacy Rights" for information on how you may opt-out of such sale or sharing if you are a resident of California, Colorado, Virginia, Utah or Connecticut.

Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies:

We or our third-party partners may store some information on your device or device hard drive as a "cookie" or similar type of file (such as clear gifs, web beacons, pixels, tags, and similar technologies) to collect data related to usage of the Website and for the purpose of facilitating and enhancing your communication and interaction with the Website. Such data may include, without limitation, the address of the websites you visited before and after you visited the Website, the type of browser you are using, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, what pages in the Website you visit and what links you clicked on, and geolocation data. We use this information to help us maintain and enhance the efficiency and usefulness of the Website and may use it and other information about your Internet or other similar network activity for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, such as to serve targeted advertising to you. Some of the information we collect may include data, such as IP address data or the identifiers associated with your device, that are unique to your computer or device (e.g., IDFA for iOS and Android ID for Android).

Cookies and similar items are not used by us to automatically retrieve personal information from your device without your knowledge. Please be advised that certain third parties that are beyond the scope of this Privacy Policy, such as advertisers, may collect information in connection with the Website. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of such third parties.

If you want to stop or restrict the placement of cookies or flush any cookies that may already be on your computer or device, please refer to and adjust your web browser preferences. Additionally, you may control the cookies used by our Website through the cookie banner that displays on our Website. Further information on cookies is available at www.allaboutcookies.org. By deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our Website or some of its functionality may be affected.

Clickstream Data:

As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each website you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as "clickstream data," can be collected and stored by a website's server. Clickstream data can tell us the type of device and browsing software you use and the address of the website from which you linked to the Website. We may collect and use clickstream data to anonymously determine how much time visitors spend on websites, how visitors navigate throughout websites and how we may tailor our Website to better meet consumer needs. This information will be used to improve our Website.

Interest Based Advertising and Cross Device Matching:

We believe that advertising is more effective and relevant when it is targeted to your interests and behaviors. Therefore, we may work with third parties who collect information on our Website and elsewhere through the use of cookies and similar methods in order to serve you with relevant advertisements on other services or to determine that you have seen our advertisements on other services. For example, if you view information on our Website regarding a particular product, we may target advertising to you on other websites and services (such as unaffiliated websites and social media services) about the same or other related products. This method of advertising is sometimes called "interest-based advertising."

Global Privacy Controls (GPCs):

GPCs (also called "Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms") are browser signals that indicate a user's intent to opt-out of some uses of their personal information on websites they visit. If our site recognizes that your browser is expressing a GPC, we will treat it as a request to opt-out of the sharing of your personal information and limit the use of your sensitive personal information collected by our site. However, we never sell your Personal Information for money and we do not collect any sensitive personal information.

In some cases, we may not be able to link the GPC of your browser to other personal information that we have collected from you by other means. To express your intent to opt-out of our processing of personal information that we may have collected from you outside of our web site, please see the section titled Exercising Your Privacy Rights below.

Do Not Track:

Some web browsers may transmit "do-not-track" (DNT) signals to the websites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. Our Website does not respond to DNT signals, but please see the section titled Global Privacy Controls above for more information.

Your Rights and Choices:

We offer you specific rights regarding your personal information. This section describes your rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

  • Contacting us through this link: My Privacy Rights

Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. In order to verify the identity of the person making a request, we may ask you to provide the following information: your name; date of birth; and your email address that we have on file.

We will use this information only to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request. If you have an account with us, we may ask you to submit your request through your account. However, no consumer will be required to create an account for the purposes of submitting a request under the consumer rights listed herein.

Response Timing and Format

Once we receive your request, we will respond within ten (10) business days and inform you if we need any more information in order to verify your request.

We will deliver our written response by email.

The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
