Personal Information from Internet Use
We may also automatically receive and store certain types of Personal Information whenever you visit the Website, such as the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet and the IP address of the computer you are using. We may log and use your IP address to administer the Website, to help diagnose problems with our server, to analyze trends, to track users' webpage movements, to help identify you, and to gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
We may use standard tools, such as “cookies” (which may be html files, flash files, or other technology), web beacons, or similar technologies (collectively, “Tracking Tools”). Cookies are small text files stored locally on your computer that help store user preferences. “Web beacons” or “clear gifs” are small pieces of code placed on websites used to collect advertising metrics, such as counting page views, promotion views, or advertising responses. We may use Tracking Tools to monitor the Website and Internet usage and to improve or customize the content on the Website.
In addition, on occasion we may also set a “session cookie” on the Website to help us administer the Website. The session cookie expires when you close your web browser and does not retain any Personal Information about you after it expires. If you do not want the benefits of these cookies, you may opt-out by visiting https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1. However, if you do so, you may not receive the full benefit from the use of the Website.
We may use Tracking Tools only to gather information as indicated in this Privacy Policy. In many web browsers, you can choose to delete, disable, turn off, or reject most Tracking Tools through the “Internet Options” sub-option of the “Tools” menu of your web browser or otherwise as directed by your web browser's support feature. Please consult the “Help” section of your web browser for more information. By agreeing to this Privacy Policy, you are consenting to the use of Tracking Tools as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

We may use such aggregate log data to improve access to the Website based on visitors' web browsers and operating system types to make the Website available to as many relevant users as possible. We do not link the “log data” collected to Personal Information. Third party providers may also collect aggregate log data independently from us.

That entity will be responsible for ensuring that your Personal Information is used only for authorized purposes and persons in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
Additionally, we may share Personal Information when it is required by a court or government agency or to respond to a Claim by you or a third party. In doing so, we may respond to any subpoena received from a court or government agency without prior notice to you.

Additionally, the Website is a certificate trusted website and uses commercially reasonable security measures to protect information before and during transmission to the internet. When Personal Information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your Personal Information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet which are beyond our control; and (b) security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Site cannot be guaranteed.
If we become aware of a security systems breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. We may post a notice through the Website if a security breach occurs. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to use in these circumstances. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.

International Visitors
We are based in the United States and the Website we own or operate is located and hosted in the United States and is intended mainly for visitors located within the United States. In most cases, the Personal Information we collect is stored and used in the United States. While we do not generally direct our Services to residents of the European Union (EU), it is possible that EU residents may access and use the Website. If you choose to use the Website from the European Union or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, then please note that you are transferring your Personal Information outside of those regions to the United States for storage and processing.
We may also transfer your data, including Personal Information, from the U.S. to other countries or regions in connection with storage and processing of data, fulfilling your requests, and operating the Website. By providing any information, including Personal Information, to us, you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing.
If you are a resident of the EU and if GDPR applies to our Website and Services, you may have certain additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) with respect to any of your Personal Information that we may collect, including the following:
the right of access to your Personal Information.
the right to rectify your Personal Information if it is incorrect or incomplete.
the right to have your Personal Information erased (“right to be forgotten”) if certain grounds are met.
the right to withdraw your consent to our processing of your Personal Information at any time (if our processing is based on consent).
the right to object to our processing of your Personal Information (if processing is based on our legitimate interests) provided that we may retain your Personal Information for certain compelling purposes such as legal, auditing, accounting, and billing purposes.
the right to object at any time to our processing of your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes, including, without limitation, for profiling purposes to the extent that it is related to direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your Personal Information for such purposes.
the right to receive your Personal Information from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and the right to transmit your Personal Information to another controller without hindrance from us (data portability).
The following terms shall also apply to our collection, use, and retention of the Personal Information of applicable EU residents and in the event GDPR applies to our Website and Services:
Basis for collection. We collect and process Personal Information for which you have given your express consent at the time of collection or where we have another legitimate legal basis for such collection, such as a legitimate business interest in improving our Services, to deliver Services and perform obligations under contracts we have with you, and to comply with legal obligations.
Sensitive data. We do not intentionally collect sensitive data, for example, biometric data, health data, or data revealing racial or ethnic origin, from visitors to our Website.
Onward transfer. Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, we only disclose Personal Information to third parties who reasonably need to have access to it for the purpose of the transaction or activity for which it was originally collected or to provide services to or perform tasks on our behalf or under our instruction. All such third parties must agree to use the Personal Information we provide to them only the purposes for which we have engaged them and they must either: (a) comply with a mechanism permitted by the applicable EU data protection law(s) for transfers and processing of Personal Information; and (b) agree to provide adequate protections for the Personal Information that are no less protective than those set out in this Privacy Policy. Where we have knowledge that an entity to whom we have provided Personal Information is using or disclosing Personal Information in a manner contrary to this Privacy Policy, we will take reasonable and appropriate steps to prevent, remediate or stop the use or disclosure.
Authorized transfer. We also may disclose Personal Information for other purposes or to other third parties when you have consented to or requested such disclosure. Please be aware that we will disclose Personal Information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. We are not liable for appropriate onward transfers of Personal Information to third parties.
Data processors. We may retain third parties to process or analyze Personal Information we collect through our Website. For example, a site may be maintained or hosted by a third-party service provider or a promotion may be administered by a sales promotion agency. We take reasonable steps to ensure that these suppliers and other third parties who provide services for us are contractually obligated not to use Personal Information about you except as we authorize.
Profiling. We may analyze Personal Information we have collected about you to create a profile of your interests and preferences so that we can contact you with information that is relevant to you. We may make use of additional information about you when it is available from external sources to help us do this effectively. We may also use Personal Information about you to detect and reduce fraud and credit risk.
If you are located in the EU, and you are or have been our customer, we may send you marketing communications based on our legitimate interests, subject always to your right to opt out of such communications. Further, if you are located in the EU and the GDPR applies to us, we will not knowingly share your Personal Information with a third party for such third party's marketing purposes, unless you have specifically consented to us doing so.
You may contact us as indicated below to exercise any of the above rights. We may request specific information from you to confirm your identity, and in some circumstances we may charge a reasonable fee for access to your Personal Information. We are not obligated to make a data access or data portability disclosure if we cannot verify that the person making the request is the person about whom we collected Personal Information, or is someone authorized to act on such person's behalf. Any Personal Information we collect from you to verify your identity in connection with your request will be used solely for the purposes of verification.
If you believe that our processing of your Personal Information is inconsistent with your data protection rights under the GDPR and we have not adequately addressed your concerns, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Supervisory Authority of your country.
For purposes of the GDPR, we are a “controller” and you are a “data subject.”
