What information we collect and how we use it

Information You Provide to Us Directly
When you contact us—such as by submitting a form on our website or sending us an email—we may collect personal details like your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message.

We use this information only to respond to your message or handle your request.

If you ask to opt out of data sharing, or request a correction or deletion of your personal information, we may also collect limited information needed to process your request. This information is used solely for that purpose.

Automatically Collected Information
When you visit our website, some information is collected automatically to help us run the site smoothly and improve your experience.

We receive your IP address, which helps us deliver content and ads to your device and gives us a general idea of your location. However, we don’t store your full public IP. We also collect details like your browser type, device, and any settings saved in your browser (like language preference), so we can show content and ads in a way that works best for you.

To personalize and improve your experience, we may place cookies (small data files) on your device. These let us recognize your browser and understand how you use our site. We may also use tracking pixels or other tools from the page or service that brought you to our site. These help us learn things like whether you’ve visited before, which pages you interacted with, and whether ads were effective—for example, if you clicked on an ad.

We do not use this data to create a personal profile of you or track your behavior across the web. It’s only used to better understand how people use our site, improve what we offer, and measure how well our ads are doing.

Information We Get from Third Parties
Sometimes, we receive information from other websites that helps us understand how you found us. For instance, the site you visited right before ours might share its URL with us, or we might see details like what you searched for. This gives us insight into what brings visitors to our site.

If you come to us through a social media platform or another service, they might include a unique identifier. We can’t use that to identify who you are, but those platforms might connect your visit to the data they already have about you.

Advertisers might also share general info about the kinds of users who interact with their ads—this helps us make our advertising more relevant and useful.

We want to be clear: we don’t collect any sensitive personal information, like your health status, religious beliefs, political views, or racial background.

Our website is meant for a general audience, and we don’t knowingly collect any information from children.

Lastly, we may work with trusted partners who help us understand the general region you’re visiting from, using your IP address. This helps us tailor your experience based on your location.

How and why we share your personal information

We sometimes share your personal information with others—but only for specific reasons, and only when necessary:

• We may share details about your browser, device, and how you use our site with service providers who help us show you content and ads. If they’re working with us as service providers (not independent companies), we make sure they don’t keep or use your information for anything other than helping us.
• We also give our advertising partners general, non-personal summaries—like how users interact with ads. In some cases, we share parts of your IP address (not the full one and not enough to identify you) to help improve ad delivery.
• If we’re legally required to, we’ll share personal information with law enforcement or government agencies.
• We may also share information if it’s necessary to protect the safety or rights of you, other users, or the public.
• And finally, we may use or share your data if it’s needed to defend ourselves in legal matters or help others do so.

Your Privacy Preferences
We respect some universal privacy settings—like Global Privacy Control (GPC)—in browsers where the law requires us to do so. These settings tell us you’d like to opt out of certain types of data collection.

About “Do Not Track”
We don’t respond to standard “Do Not Track” signals unless they meet legal requirements in places where we’re required to recognize them.

Using Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to better understand how people use our site. Want to know more? Check out Google’s explanation here:

How We Protect Your Personal Information

The security of your personal data is of paramount importance to us. We utilize a combination of technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. These measures are tailored to the type of personal information we collect and the purposes for which it is used. In addition, we are committed to minimizing the amount of personal data we collect to what is strictly necessary for the specific objectives we intend to achieve. Our data protection efforts include:

• Implementing comprehensive security protocols, policies, and procedures to safeguard your data.
• Ensuring the collection of personal information is limited to what is required for legitimate business purposes.
• Utilizing secure communication technologies, such as SSL, for transmitting personal data beyond our internal networks.
• Safely deleting personal data when it is no longer needed or in compliance with our established data retention schedules.
• Regularly conducting risk assessments to identify and address potential security vulnerabilities.
• Following a structured risk mitigation plan to reduce identified risks to an acceptable level.
• Providing continuous security awareness training for all employees handling personal data.
• Restricting access to personal information only to those employees whose roles require such access.
• Deploying and monitoring intrusion detection and prevention systems to protect against unauthorized access.
• Ensuring systems that store personal data are isolated from public networks like the internet.
• Regularly updating software and other security measures to ensure ongoing protection.

How Long We Retain Your Personal Information
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the specific purposes for which it was collected.

• IP Class C addresses: We keep these addresses, which do not personally identify users or devices, for no longer than 5 years.
• Browser and device information: This information is retained for a period of up to 5 years.
• Cookies and related data: Cookies and the associated data are kept for up to 3 months.
• Aggregated data: Information that has been anonymized or aggregated, making it impossible to identify any individual or device, may be retained for a longer duration.

We regularly review our retention practices to ensure they align with applicable privacy laws and principles of data protection.

Cookies and Other Trackers

We use a range of tracking technologies, such as tags, log files, web beacons, and other similar tools from third-party providers, which are collectively referred to as “Cookies.” It is important for you to be informed about the use of these technologies.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device’s hard drive or memory, which allow us to collect information regarding your online activities, preferences, and choices. Some cookies are necessary for ensuring the website functions properly and displays the information you request. You can choose to reject non-essential cookies by adjusting your browser settings, but please note that doing so may affect your experience on our website, including limiting your ability to opt out of certain tracking. Disabling cookies in your browser will not stop information collection on different browsers or devices, nor will it affect data collection via apps or mobile identifiers. To prevent information collection via your mobile device, you must adjust your settings on the device itself to disable advertising tracking.

For more details on cookies, including how to see what cookies and other tracking technologies are set on your device, and how to manage and delete them, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org and www.youronlinechoices.eu.

For information about the specific cookies we use on our site, please review our cookie policy.

Children’s Privacy

Our website does not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under the age of 13, or 16 if mandated by applicable law. If you suspect that we have collected or processed personal data of a child under the legal age limit, please contact us at your earliest convenience using the contact information listed in this Notice. We will take immediate steps to rectify the situation in compliance with applicable laws.

Why We Collect Your Personal Data

In compliance with European Union data protection regulations, we process your personal data based on three legal grounds: your consent, our legitimate interest, and contractual necessity. Below are the specific purposes for which we process your data and the associated legal basis:

Consent
We rely on your consent for the following processing activities:

• Storing and accessing information on your device: We request your consent to place or retrieve information from cookies, identifiers, or other trackers on your device.

Legitimate Interest
When processing data under our legitimate interest, we carefully evaluate whether the benefits of processing outweigh the potential risks to you. We process personal data for the following purposes:

• Advertising selection: We use limited data, such as the content you are viewing, to select ads that are relevant to you. We believe this provides valuable, ad-supported content and minimizes any risks.
• Improvement of services: We process a small amount of personal information to enhance the functionality, security, and overall quality of our services, and we believe this offers more benefit than any associated risk.
• Ad performance measurement: We utilize limited personal data to assess how well ads resonate with users and improve ad targeting, creating a better experience with minimal impact.

Contractual Requirement
When you engage in a purchase through our website, we process your personal data as necessary to fulfill the contractual obligation of providing the product or service requested. Please note that once you leave our site and navigate to another site, such as an advertiser’s, we no longer process your personal data.

Your Rights
To learn more about your rights, please refer to the “How Can You Exercise My Privacy Rights?” section of this Notice, or contact our Privacy Office at [email protected] for assistance.

Withdrawal of Consent
You have the right to withdraw consent at any time if we are processing your personal data based on your consent.

International Transfer of Personal Data
Our website and technology infrastructure are predominantly hosted in the United States. If you are accessing our site from regions with data protection laws that may differ from those in the United States, please be aware that your personal data may be transferred to the United States and other countries globally. By using this site, you consent to the transfer of your personal information to countries that may not offer the same level of data protection as those in your home country.

If you are in the EU, EEA, or UK, whenever we transfer your personal data outside these regions, we take measures to ensure adequate protection is in place. These measures may include the use of contracts, such as data processing agreements based on the EU/EEA Standard Contractual Clauses, along with additional safeguards, to ensure the protection of your personal data during international transfers.

Changes to this Privacy Notice

We may update this Privacy Notice periodically to reflect changes in applicable laws or our operational practices. Should we make any changes to how we use the personal information we have already collected, we will notify you and obtain your consent prior to making such changes.
