Cookie Policy
Cookie technology is employed on our websites. “Cookies” are files with a small amount of data that is commonly used as an anonymous unique identifier. These are sent to your browser from the website that you visit and are stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies help us keep track of the pages that you visit while on our websites. These files often contain personalization settings or unique identifiers to keep track of your information and to help us understand the movements of users within and between websites.
You have the option to either accept or refuse these cookies and know when a cookie is being sent to your computer by disabling cookies on your browser. If you choose to refuse our cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our websites.
Google Analytics
Our websites use a tool called “Google Analytics”, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”), to collect information about the use of our websites. The anonymous information collected by Google, such as how often users visit a website, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our site, is transmitted to and stored by Google [on servers in the United States]. Google gathers the information by collecting the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit one of our websites, and planting a cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the site. Google will use the information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating the use of our websites and compiling reports on website activity. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our websites is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to our websites by disabling cookies on your browser.
Service Providers
In addition to Google Analytics, we may employ other third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Media and assist us in analyzing how our Media is being used. These third-party service providers will have access to any personal information that we have access to. The reason is to perform the tasks assigned to them on our behalf. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.
Links to Other Sites
Our Media may contain links to other sites. If you click on a third-party link, which may be identified by bolded text, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by us. Therefore, we strongly advise you to read the privacy policies of these third-party websites. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
Children’s Privacy
Our Media do not address anyone under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 16. If we discover that a child under 16 has provided us with personal information, we will immediately delete it from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we will be able to take necessary actions.
How We Protect Your Information
We strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting any personal information we receive by following generally accepted security practices and procedures. However, due to the open communication nature of the Internet and other social media platforms, we cannot guarantee that communication between you and us, and between us and you, will be free from unauthorized access by third parties nor can we be responsible for information stolen from our servers or computer systems by information harvesting software which may have the ability to scrape data. Please do not send sensitive data (e.g., Social Security, bank account, and credit card numbers or user names or passwords) by email or web form to any of our Media.
How We Use Your Information
Should you provide us with personally identifying information it will be volunteered by you to communicate with us on our Media or provided by you so that we can fulfill a request from you or provide information or services to you.
Aside from our own use of your personal information that you knowingly provide us through our Media, we do not share any personal information we may have about you with unaffiliated third parties. We do not sell or rent your information.
We may, however, disclose information obtained through our Media, or otherwise in our possession, if we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to:
- Comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process or other legal obligation;
- Detect, investigate and help prevent security, fraud or technical issues; and/or
- Protect our rights, property or safety or those of our users, employees or others.
