Sign up for our marketing communications and/or newsletters,
Communicate with us directly through the Site or in connection with the Site and/or Services.
In some instances, we collect information directly from you as explained in the Section Information Provided Directly to , and in in certain circumstances, you will not provide any information to us directly, in which case we automatically collect certain information as explained Information Collected Indirectly.

Information Collected Indirectly
i. Usage Information
We, or our authorized third-party service providers, automatically collect technical and/or analytics information about how you use and/or interact with our Site and/or Services (collectively, “Usage Information”).
Usage Information that we collect consists of information about our users’ interactions with the Site and/or Services. Usage Information is collected while you are using and/or accessing the Site and/or Services, and may include information about the device and/or platform (e.g., iOS or Android), and/or the web browser, used by you to interact with and/or access the Site, your IP address, access dates and times, information about your approximate location (as determined through your IP address), device information, device event information, crash data, and log files and data.
Usage Information allows Company to understand how users are interacting with and using the Site and/or Services (which may include administrative and support communications with us), and other actions taken in connection with the use of the Site and/or Services. We use this information for our internal purposes, specifically to operate, maintain, secure and improve the Site and Services.
Typically, all Usage Information is collected in anonymous form and does not identify you personally. To the extent any Usage Information is linked or tied to personally identifiable information, such information is deemed “personal data” and we will use it and protect it in accordance with this Privacy Notice.
We may also use this information to provide you with notifications, recommendations, and information about specific features of the Services and/or additional products, services, or features we believe may be of interest to you.
ii. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We or authorized third parties may collect certain information (including, without limitation, Usage Information) by automated means using technologies such as cookies, web beacons, embedded scripts, pixels, browser analysis tools, server logs, and mobile identifiers, and similar technologies that are deployed, and typically stored on your device and have a unique identifier, when you visit a website, when you open an email or click on links or images within an email, and/or when you interact with online advertisements.
These technologies may be used for many different purposes. For example, they can be used to show that you have previously visited and/or used a feature of the Site and to identify which parts of the Site, Services, and/or Products you might be most interested in, or used to improve your online experience by storing your preferences during your visit and/or use of the Site. These technologies can also be used for security, fraud detection and authentication purposes.
In many cases, the information we collect using these technologies is only used in a non-identifiable manner without reference to personal information. For example, we may use information we collect to better understand website traffic patterns and to optimize user experience. In other cases, we associate the information we collect using cookies and other technology with your personal information.
We do not directly track users across third party websites; however, certain third partner advertising partners may track you across third party websites as described below.
For information regarding how you can manage your cookie preferences, please see How to Manage Cookie Preferences below.
iii. How to Manage Cookie Preferences
Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent prior to setting cookies (except for strictly necessary cookies). Most web and mobile device browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can change your browser to prevent that or to notify you each time a cookie is set.
In order to manage your cookie preferences, you may alter the cookie settings in your browser settings at any time. You may accept all, or certain, cookies. If you do disable our cookies in your browser settings, you may find that certain features and/or functionality of the Site and/or Services do not work.
To learn more about cookies, including how to manage cookies and opt-out of cookies being placed on your device, please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html.
While tracking is widespread over the internet, there are things you can do to minimize these activities with respect to browser cookies; however, please note that even if you opt out using the mechanisms described below, advertisements may still be visible to you when using the Site.
Do Not Track Settings
You may turn on the Do Not Track (“DNT”) setting in your browser, which will enable your browser to send a special signal to websites, analytics companies, plug in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity. To turn on your DNT signal, please visit https://allaboutdnt.com/#adjust-settings. Please note that not all companies will respond to or honor DNT signals.
Note that Company does not process or respond to web browsers’ “do not track” signals or other similar transmissions that indicate a request to disable online tracking of users who use the Site.
Mobile Identifiers
On your mobile device, your operating system may provide you with additional options to opt out of interest based advertising or to otherwise reset your mobile identifiers. For example, you may use the “Limit Ad Tracking” setting (on iOS devices) or a setting to “Opt out of Interest-Based Ads” (on Android) which allows you to limit the use of information about your use of apps for purposes of serving ads targeted to your interests.
c. Aggregated Data
With the personal information and other data (including, Usage Information) collected by us, we process “Aggregated Data”, such as statistical or demographic data. Aggregated Data may be derived from personal information, but is not considered personal information under the law if it does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. If we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal information so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal information, which will be processed in accordance with this Privacy Notice.
3. Children’s Privacy
Company does not target the Site and/or Services to, nor knowingly collect personal information, persons under the age of 13. Therefore, we ask you not to provide us with personal information of persons under the age of 13. If we learn that personal information of persons under the age of 13 has been collected on or through the Site and/or Services or otherwise provided to use, then we may terminate access to the Site and Services and/or make the content and/or information inaccessible.

6. Sharing Personal Information

We may also share data with third parties to whom we choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal information in the same way as set out in this Privacy Notice.
c. Affiliates and Subsidiaries
Personal information that we collect about you through or in connection with your use of the Site and/or Services may be shared with the employees, contractors, and agents of Company and our affiliated and subsidiary entities (“Affiliates”) who are involved in providing or improving the Site and/or Services that we offer to you. We obligate the employees, contractors and agents of Company and our Affiliates to ensure the security and confidentiality of your personal information and to act on that personal information only in a manner consistent with this Privacy Notice.
d. Legal Obligations and Security
If we are required to disclose personal information by law, such as pursuant to a subpoena, warrant or other judicial or administrative order, our policy is to respond to requests that are properly issued by law enforcement within the United States. Under such circumstances, unless prohibited by applicable law, we will attempt to provide you with prior notice that a request for your information has been made in order to give you an opportunity to object to the disclosure. We will attempt to provide this notice by email, if you have given us an email address. However, government requests may include a court-granted non-disclosure order, which prohibits us from giving notice to the affected individual. In cases where we receive a non-disclosure order, we will notify you when it has expired or once we are authorized to do so.
Note that if we receive information that provides us with a good faith belief that there is an exigent emergency involving the danger of death or serious physical injury to a person, we may provide information to law enforcement trying to prevent or mitigate the danger (if we have it), to be determined on a case-by-case basis.
e. With your Consent
There may be situations where you are asked to consent to share personal information with third parties for additional reasons not included in this Privacy Notice. In such event, we will only share such personal information if we have received your prior consent and only for the purposes as listed in the request to share such information.
7. Marketing Communications
If you are a customer of ours and have not otherwise opted out (or with your consent where required by applicable law), or if you have signed up or otherwise opted in to receive direct marketing emails from us, we may use your personal information to send you marketing information about the Services, other Company products and services, new product releases, and new feature releases of our products and/or services that we think may interest you. We carry out direct marketing by email.
If you no longer wish to receive marketing communications, you have the right at any time to opt out as further explained in Your Choices.
8. Your Choices

Note that you cannot opt out of receiving transactional e-mails or communications related to the Site (e.g., requests for support), which, for clarification, are not marketing communications.
9. Third Party Social Plug-Ins
On or through the Site, we provide third-party “share” buttons which enable you to share certain content via social media sites (e.g., Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads). These “share” buttons may function as web beacons when you interact with the button. Please note that when you “share” using the buttons, you may send to the third party provider of the “share” button the information that you are viewing. If you are not logged into your account with the third party provider, then the third party may not know your identity. If you are logged in to your account with the third party, then the third party may be able to link information or actions about your interactions with the Site to your account with the applicable third party provider. Please refer to each third party’s privacy policies to learn more about its data practices.

We are not responsible for the content or data collection practices of those External Websites, and your use of External Websites is subject to their respective terms of use and privacy policies.
11. Data Retention
Personal information is processed for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is collected, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations and for the duration of any period necessary to establish, exercise or defend any legal rights.
In order to determine the most appropriate retention periods for your personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of your information, the reasons for which we collect and process your personal information, and applicable legal requirements.
In some instances, we may choose to anonymize personal information instead of deleting it, for statistical use, for instance. When we choose to anonymize, we make sure that there is no way that the personal information can be linked back to any specific individual.
12. Data Security and Protection
We have put in place reasonable and appropriate security measures designed to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. For example, we use encryption, secure socket layer (SSL), firewalls, and password protection. In addition, we limit access to personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and the third parties who have a business need-to-know.
13. California Privacy Rights - Shine the Light
We do not share your personal information with any unaffiliated third party for its direct marketing purposes without your express consent.

We do not currently sell your covered information as defined under applicable Nevada law; however, you may submit an opt-out request, which we will honor as required by Nevada law should we engage in such a sale in the future.
You may submit an opt-out request by sending an email message or writing to us at the email and/or mailing address specified in the How to Contact Us Section; along with your full name, any user name, and complete mailing address (including street address, city, state, and zip code), email address (so that we can contact you, if needed, in connection with the request) and confirmation that you are a Nevada resident.
You must provide us with information reasonably requested by us to verify your identity and the authenticity of the request. We typically process these requests within 60 days from the day we receive it (and will notify you within that period if we need an additional 30 days to do so).
