How We Use Cookies and Other Network Technologies

We gather the aforementioned Information directly and through third-party services by employing various technologies, including cookies, web beacons/GIFs, and similar tools. Third-party service providers, advertisers, and/or partners may also access, modify, or set their own cookies, web beacons/GIFs, and/or similar technologies.

 

A. Cookies

The Services may utilize "cookies" and other web tracking tools to enhance your online experience. We may store Information about you using these cookies. A cookie is a small file sent from a website and stored on your computer by your web browser during browsing. We use cookies to improve your site experience, evaluate content usage, distinguish you from other users, and support our marketing efforts.

You can manage the cookies we collect by visiting the Cookie Notice or by adjusting the appropriate settings in your browser. You may choose to decline cookies; however, doing so may limit your ability to fully utilize our Services and offerings. Certain cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the Services. In some instances, we may link the Information stored in cookies to personal Information you provide while using the Services.

B. Web Beacons, Pixel Tags, and GIFs

We, or our service providers, may utilize small electronic files known as "pixel tags," "web beacons," "clear GIFs," "embedded links," and other commonly used information-gathering tools in connection with certain website pages and HTML-formatted email messages. These tools enable us to compile aggregate statistics regarding website usage and response rates. A pixel tag is an electronic image (often a single pixel), typically not visible to website users, and may be associated with cookies on users' hard drives. Pixel tags allow us and our service providers to count users who have visited specific pages of the Services, deliver customized services, and assess the effectiveness of the Services. When employed in HTML-formatted email messages, pixel tags can inform the sender whether and when the email has been opened. These technical methods may result in the transmission of Information either directly to us or to an authorized third-party service provider collecting Information on our behalf.

6. Security and Storage of Information

We employ commercially reasonable measures to deliver our Services. However, it's important to recognize that no security measures or Internet transmission methods are entirely foolproof.

Any transmission of personal Information is undertaken at your own risk. We cannot guarantee that your Personal Information will not be misused by third parties. We bear no responsibility for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security features.

The security of your personal Information also relies on you. If you have been provided (or have chosen) a password for access to specific parts of our Services, it is your responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of this password. Please refrain from sharing your password with anyone.

Should you suspect unauthorized access or acquisition of your personal Information, it is imperative that you promptly notify us so that we can take immediate action.

We will retain your Information for as long as necessary to provide the Services and to fulfill our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies.

To safeguard your privacy and uphold security standards, should you request access to or deletion of your Information, we will take measures and may request certain information from you to verify your identity before granting access to your Information or fulfilling your request. Furthermore, if you request specific pieces of Information from us, we may require you to sign a declaration under penalty of perjury affirming that you are the consumer whose Information is the subject of the request.
