Cookies and Tracking Pixels
Cookies are small data files that a web site you visit may save on your hard drive that usually include an anonymous unique identifier. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses, or capture your e-mail address. Our site uses cookies for user authentication, keeping track of your preferences, promotional campaigns that require user identification, keeping track of our audience size and traffic patterns, and in certain other cases. We may include tracking pixels, which are small graphic images, in our email messages and newsletters to determine whether the messages were opened and the links were actually viewed. You can configure your browser to accept cookies, reject cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being used. However, if you configure your browser to reject cookies, you may not be able to use our products or services that require you to sign in or take advantage of all their features. If you do not want to receive tracking pixels, you will need to disable HTML images in your email client, but that may affect your ability to view images in other emails that you receive.
Links
Our website and services may contain links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy policy or other practices employed by sites linked to or from our web site nor the information or content contained therein. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by our products and services.
Data Security
We are committed to protecting the security of your information and take reasonable precautions to protect it. However, Internet data transmissions, whether wired or wireless, cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure and as a result, we cannot ensure the security of the information you transmit to us; accordingly, you acknowledge that you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your data transmission, we make all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems:
Your password, if you have one, is protected by encryption and only you have access to it;
Your personal information and data stored in our systems are protected by various physical, electronic and procedural safeguards. It is housed in a secure facility and we restrict physical and network access to this facility to select trained staff and regularly evaluate our technologies, facilities, procedures, and potential risks to maintain the security and privacy of our users data. As a rule, our employees do not monitor or view your personal information or content stored in our service, but it may be viewed if we determine that we have an obligation to review it; and
Certain services support the use of standard SSL encryption to protect data transmissions. However, this is not a guarantee that such data transmissions cannot be accessed, altered, or deleted due to firewall or other security software failures.
If we learn of a security system breach we may attempt to notify you and provide information on protective steps, if available, through the e-mail address that you supplied during registration or posting a notice on our website. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive such notices in writing.
Children
We comply with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which requires that sites directed to children under 13 that collect personal information from children or general audience sites that have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information from children inform parents and legal guardians about how they collect, use and disclose personal information from children under 13 years of age.
Our service is not directed to children under 13 years of age and we will not knowingly collect personal information relating to children under 13 years of age. If we learn that we have inadvertently done so, we will promptly delete it.
Changes and Updates
As this Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time, we will revise and display the effective date at the top of the web page. You should periodically review it to keep abreast of our plans and procedures to protect the personal information that we collect. Your continued use of our services constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any updates. If we should ever sell our assets, merge with another entity or file for bankruptcy, information collected from this website and in the operation of the services may be transferred as our own assets.
