5. COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
We use Tracking Technologies to collect information about your browsing activities over time and across different websites following your use of our Services. These Tracking Technologies may be placed by us or third parties, including Google, and allow us to recognize and count the number of users and to see how users move around our Services when they are using it. This helps us analyze and improve our products, services and the way our Website and App works and to deliver ads targeted to your interests.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you may be able to control the way in which your devices permit the use of Tracking Technologies. If you so choose, you may block or delete our cookies from your browser; however, blocking or deleting cookies may cause some of the Services, including certain features and general functionality, to work incorrectly.
While your browser settings may allow you to transmit a “do not track” signal, “opt-out preference” signal, or other mechanism for exercising your choice regarding the collection of your information online, like many websites, our Website is not designed to respond to such signals. To learn more about “do not track” signals, you can visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com/. To opt out of tracking by Google Analytics, click here.
6. SOCIAL FEATURES
Certain features of the Services allow you to initiate interactions between the Services and third party services or platforms, such as social networks (“Social Features”). Social Features include features that allow you to access our pages on third party platforms, and from there “like” or “share” our content. Use of Social Features may allow a third party to collect and/or use your information. If you use Social Features, information you post or make accessible may be publicly displayed by the third party. Both we and the third party may have access to information about you and your use of both the Services and the third party service. For more information, see the section below, Third Party Websites and Links.
7. THIRD PARTY WEBSITES AND LINKS
We may provide links to third party websites or platforms. If you follow links to sites or platforms that we do not control and are not affiliated with us, you should review the applicable privacy notice, policies and other terms. We are not responsible for the privacy or security of, or information found on, these sites or platforms. Information you provide on public or semi-public venues, such as third party social networking platforms, may also be viewable by other users of the Services and/or users of those third party platforms without limitation as to its use. Our inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content on such platforms or of their owners or operators.
8. DATA SECURITY
Despite our reasonable efforts to protect your information, no security measures are impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “perfect security.” Any information you send to us electronically, while using the Services or otherwise interacting with us, may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to send us sensitive or confidential information.
9. RIGHTS AND CHOICES
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights in relation to your personal information. However, these rights are not absolute, and may apply only in certain circumstances.
For example, if you are a California resident under the age of eighteen (18), have registered to use the Services and have posted UGC to the Services, you may be able to request that such content be removed from the Services by contacting us. Such request must state that you personally posted such UGC and detail where the UGC is posted. We will make reasonable good faith efforts to remove the UGC from prospective public view or anonymize it so you cannot be individually identified. This removal process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive removal. For instance, third parties may have republished the post and archived copies of it may be stored by search engines and others that we do not control.
You may also be able to unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe function contained in the email communication to you.
