Some web browsers have settings that enable you to request that our Website not track your movement within our Website. Our Website does not respond to such “do not track” signals or settings. You can turn off tracking features and other security settings in your browser by referring to your browser’s user manual.

Our Website may contain links to other websites. These websites are not under our control and are not subject to this Policy. These websites will likely have their own privacy policies. We have no responsibility for these websites and we provide links to these websites solely for your convenience. You acknowledge and agree that your use of and access to these websites are solely at your risk, and we will have no liability for the same. It is your responsibility to check the privacy policies of these websites to see how they treat your PD.

Protecting Children’s Privacy

While we respect everyone’s privacy, we especially respect the privacy of children, and our Policy is intended to adhere to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Our Website is not directed or targeted to, or intended for use by, children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect PD from children under the age of 13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we realize that a child under the age of 13 may attempt to access or use our Website. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child is accessing or using our Website, please contact us using the contact information at the top of this Policy, and we will delete his/her information within a reasonable period of time.

Transferring PD from the European Union

PD that we collect from you may be stored, processed, and transferred among any countries in which we operate. The European Union has not found the United States and some other countries to have an adequate level of protection of PD under Article 45 of the GDPR.

If you are a European Union User, with your consent, your PD that you voluntarily provide to us when you order our goods or services, or request our information, or otherwise enter into or seek to enter into a contract with us, may be transferred to the United States or other countries outside the European Union.
