However, these links do not imply any endorsement, affiliation, or representation regarding these third-party websites. We do not review, control, or take responsibility for these third-party sites or their content. By using these links, you leave our Services, and if you choose to access any third-party websites linked to our Services, you do so entirely at your own risk.

8. WEB BROWSER DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS

Our website is currently not configured to respond to a browser’s “do not track” signals.

9. DATA RETENTION

The duration for which we retain your Personal Information depends on the context and the purposes for which it was collected. Generally, we keep Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, unless a different retention period is required by applicable law. When we no longer have a business need to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize it. If deletion or anonymization is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information is stored in backup archives), we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.

10. RIGHTS RELATED TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Depending on your location and the nature of the Personal Information involved, you may have certain rights regarding your Personal Information. Please note that many of these rights are subject to exceptions and limitations.

Right of Access: You have the right to know whether your Personal Information is being processed and, if so, to request access to, including a copy of, the Personal Information undergoing processing.
Right to Correction: You have the right to request that we correct or supplement any inaccurate or incomplete Personal Information we process about you.
Right to Deletion: You have the right to request that we delete or anonymize your Personal Information, as applicable.
Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request that we provide the Personal Information you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transmit such Personal Information to another entity.
Right to Prohibit the Sale or Sharing of Personal Information: At this time, we do not sell or share your Personal Information as defined under applicable law.
Right to Limit the Processing of Sensitive Personal Information: We do not currently use or disclose sensitive Personal Information for purposes other than those which cannot be limited under applicable law.
Right to File a Complaint: If we decline your request for access or other rights, we will explain the reason for our decision. If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, please feel free to reach out to us.

If you choose to assert any of these rights under applicable laws, we will respond within the time period prescribed by law. Please note that many of these rights are subject to exceptions and limitations. If we cannot provide the requested information or make the change you requested, you will be informed of the reasons for such decisions. Under local law, you may be entitled to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority, such as your state Attorney General’s Office. Your rights and our responses may vary based on your state of residency. You may be located in a jurisdiction where we are not obligated, or are unable, to fulfill a request. In such cases, your request may not be fulfilled. We do not discriminate against individuals who exercise their rights described in this Privacy Policy. However, we may need to use your Personal Information to provide access to our Services. Therefore, if you exercise your deletion right, you may lose access to certain aspects of the Services that require your Personal Information.

Verification Process

Only you, or someone authorized to act on your behalf, may submit a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. If you designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf, we will require verification that you provided permission for the agent to act on your behalf. You must provide us with a copy of the signed permission given to the authorized agent to make the request and verify your own identity directly with us.

The verifiable consumer request must:

Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative.
Describe your request with enough detail to allow us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

Our verification process may include requesting additional information to confirm your identity or your authorized agent’s identity (such as your name, email address, and date of birth) or obtaining proof that you have given your authorized agent permission to act on your behalf. If the verification process is successful, we will respond to your request within the time and manner required by applicable law. If we cannot verify the identity of you and/or your authorized agent or obtain proof of permission, we will attempt to contact you to inform you.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the Personal Information relates to you. We will only use the Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, based on your preference. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another without hindrance, typically by electronic mail. If you would like to appeal any decision we make regarding your request, you may contact us as stated in the “Contact Information” section below.

11. CHILDREN

Our Services are not intended for children under the age of thirteen, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under thirteen. If a child has provided Personal Information through this website, we ask that a parent or guardian contact us via the address provided below, and we will promptly remove the child’s Personal Information from our records.
