Cookies and Similar Technologies
When you visit the Sites, we use cookies and use similar technologies to enhance your experience, gather general visitor information, and track visits to the Site, all in order to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on the Sites and for usage analytics purposes (e.g., page response times, download errors, length of visit, webpages visited, etc.).

If you choose to disable cookies and similar technologies, some areas and features of the Sites may not work properly.
Automated Information
When you visit the Sites, we automatically collect information from your browser or your mobile device, including the date and time of your visit, your Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or unique device identifier, domain server, browser type, cookies, and data about which pages you visit in order to allow us to operate and provide the Sites and our services. This information is used to understand how you interact with the Sites and may be used to provide you with advertising and a more personalized experience. To learn more about our collection of technical data, please see the “Cookies and Similar Technologies” section of this Privacy Policy.

Location Information
When you use the Sites, we may collect information about your use of the Sites, including your interaction with advertising and analytics services on the Site, in order to (a) serve you the content and functionality you request and (b) maintain the privacy and security of the Sites and services. Location information collected may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address or unique device identifier.
Email Interconnectivity
If you receive email communications from us, we may use certain tools to capture data related to if/when you open our message and if/when you click on any links or banners it contains. Other information collected through this email tracking feature may include your email address, the date and time of your “click” on the email, a message number, the name of the list from which the message was sent, a tracking URL (URL is the Uniform Resource Locator, which is typically the http or https address entered to go to a web page), and a destination page. We use this information to enhance our marketing efforts. We do not sell this information to third parties.
Third Party Information
In addition to the information that we collect from you directly, we also may receive information about you from other sources, including third parties, business partners, our affiliates, or publicly-available sources.
You may choose not to provide us with any personal information, but you will not be able to access any portions of the Sites that require your personal information.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
A “cookie” is a small file created by a web server that can be stored on a user’s device for use either during a particular browsing session (a “session” cookie) or a future browsing session (a “persistent” cookie). This file may include information about your internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), URLs of any referring or exited webpages, operating system, and/or date and time stamps.
We may use cookies to enable certain website functions, develop web browsing analytics, store and track your preferences, and enable the delivery of advertising and marketing, when applicable. For example, we may track the number of “hits” or visits to the Site, the most popular times of day and sections visited, and the range of devices and browsers most commonly used to view the Site. We may sell or distribute any of this information to third parties.
First-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting, and they can only be read by that site. “Session” cookies are temporarily stored on your hard drive and only last until they expire at the end of your browsing session or after a set time period. “Permanent” cookies remain stored on a user’s hard drive until they expire or are deleted by a user.
Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies are cookies that are stored on your web browser by a party other than us and may gather browsing activity (such as information you have entered or choices you have made) across numerous websites that you visit and across numerous browsing sessions. These cookies can help to improve how a site and services function and perform, to customize user interactions with the site, and to provide more relevant messaging and marketing communications. If you wish to delete third-party cookies, you should adjust your browser settings as described in the “Rights and Choices about How We Use and Disclose Your Information” section of this Privacy Policy.
What Similar Technologies Are in Use and Why Do We Use Them?
In addition to cookies, there are other automatic data collection technologies, such as Internet tags, web beacons (clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs), and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, etc.) that can be used to collect data as users navigate through and interact with a site:
- Web Beacons: These are tiny graphics (sometimes called “clear GIFs” or “web pixels”) with unique identifiers that are used to understand browsing activity. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are rendered invisible on web pages when you open a page.
- Social Widgets: These are buttons or icons provided by third-party social media providers that allow you to interact with social media services when you view a web page or mobile app screen. These social widgets may collect browsing data, which may be received by the third party that provided the widget and are controlled by third parties.
- UTM Codes: These are strings that can appear in a URL when a user moves from one web page or website to another, where the string can represent information about browsing, such as which advertisement, page, or publisher sent the user to the receiving website.
The aggregate data collected by these passive technologies typically does not target any personal information, but personal information may be linked to information stored in and obtained from these technologies.
We may use Google Analytics and similar technologies to collect and process statistical data about the number of people using the Sites and to better understand how they find and use our webpages. This does not necessarily include personal information. Any data collected is used in accordance with our Policy and Google’s privacy policy. If you do not want to receive any user-based advertising, you can disable the placement of ads by using Google’s ad settings detailed below.
You may learn more about Google Analytics and the performance and ad tracking cookies used by Google by visiting https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ or https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads as well as Google’s restrictions on data use by visiting the Google Privacy Policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy. To opt-out of Google Analytics, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install the opt-out browser add-on feature. For more details, visit the “Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on” page (located at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/181881?hl=en). Google Analytics has certified compliance with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Choices About Cookies
We provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us, and we have created ways to give you control over our use of your information. Most web browsers are set by default to accept cookies. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to refuse all or some types of cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent by website tracking technologies and advertising. Note that, if you decline the use of cookies, you may not have access to the full benefits of the Site.
Please be aware that adjusting the Cookie Settings on the Sites may not fully delete all of the cookies that have already been created. To delete them, visit your web browser settings after you have changed your Cookie Settings on the Site.

Sharing and Disclosing of Your Personal Information
We may share your information in the following contexts:
Affiliates and Acquisitions
We may share your personal information with our corporate affiliates and with their respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys and agents. In addition, we may disclose your personal information in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our company assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by us about the Site’s users is among the assets transferred. For example, if another company acquires us, we will share your personal information with that company.
Disclosures With Your Consent
We may ask if you would like us to share your personal information with other unaffiliated third parties who are not described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy. We will only disclose your personal information in this context with your consent.

We may disclose your personal information in response to subpoenas, warrants, court orders or other legal process, or to comply with relevant laws. We also may share your personal information in order to establish or exercise our legal rights, to defend against a legal claim, to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding possible illegal activities, suspected fraud, safety of person or property.

Among other things, service providers may help us to administer the Sites, support our provision of services requested by you, provide technical support, send marketing, promotions and communications to you about our services, provide payment processing, and assist with other legitimate purposes permitted by law.
How Long Do We Store Your Personal Information?
We will retain your personal information as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. We will retain and use your personal information as long as necessary to comply with our business requirements and legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to protect our assets, to provide our services, and to enforce our agreements.
When we no longer have a purpose to retain your personal information, we will securely destroy your personal information in accordance with applicable law and our policies. We take reasonable steps to delete the personal information we collect if you opt out of receiving further communications from us or if you ask us to delete your information unless we determine that doing so would violate our existing, legitimate legal, regulatory, dispute resolution, contractual, or similar obligations. We may retain and use anonymous and aggregated information for performance reporting, benchmarking, and analytic purposes and for product and service improvement.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
We have put security measures in place to protect the personal information that you share with us from being accidentally lost, used, altered, or disclosed or accessed in an unauthorized manner. From time to time, we review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods.
While our security measures seek to protect your personal information in our possession, no security system is perfect, and no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our Site, and you do so at your own risk. We cannot promise that your personal information will remain absolutely secure in all circumstances. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we provide.
The safety and security of your personal information also depends on you. Where you use a password for access to restricted parts of the Site, you are responsible for keeping the password confidential. Do not share your password with anyone.
If a security breach causes an unauthorized intrusion into our Sites or systems that compromises your data, we will notify you and any applicable regulator when we are required to do so by applicable law.

This Privacy Policy is applicable only to the Sites, and it does not apply to any third-party websites.
The Site may contain links to, and media and other content from, third-party websites. These links are to external websites and third parties with which we have no relationship.
