8. COOKIE NOTICE AND “DO NOT TRACK” REQUESTS
We use cookies to track user interactions and personalize your user experience.
For example, we may use Google Analytics to collect and process such data. You can learn how Google uses this data here: www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ In such cases, the privacy policies of these third party providers, including Google, will govern how your personal
information may be used.
In accordance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), we
want to inform you about our “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) request policy. DNT is a
feature that some web browsers offer to allow users to send signals to websites
so that no information about their browser session will be shared. You may
enable your web browser to send our website a DNT request, but your browsing and user experience may be degraded. You can learn more about how DNT works here: https://www.eff.org/issues/do-not-track
9. CHILDREN’S DATA
In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and other state laws, our website and associated services are not marketed to
children under sixteen (16) years of age and we do not intentionally collect
information from children. We encourage parents and guardians to take
appropriate steps to ensure the safety and privacy of their children online.
10. INFORMATION SECURITY
We work hard to protect our systems from harm and to safeguard the
confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal information. Our efforts
generally include utilizing strong encryption and leveraging physical, technical,
and administrative controls to prevent the unauthorized access to and
disclosure of personal information. However, it would be naïve to assume that
any amount of diligence could prevent every conceivable risk to your personal
data. We encourage all users to exercise caution when interacting with our
website and services, just as they would any other website.
Good security starts with good personal security hygiene. We recommend that
you connect to our website over secure networks and stay alert to unusual or
suspicious activities.
If any personal information we possess is the subject of a data breach and your
personal data is implicated according to any U.S. state or federal law that may
apply, then we will take such action, as such law or laws may require.
