Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our Sites. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that allow us to recognize your browser and capture information about your visit, such as pages viewed and user preferences.

You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of the Sites.

Third-Party Cookies: We may also use third-party cookies (e.g., from Google Analytics) to track usage trends and display relevant advertisements. You can opt-out of targeted advertising by adjusting your settings with these third parties.

Data Security

We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encryption, secure data storage, and regular security audits. However, no method of data transmission over the internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with legal obligations. When data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

Cross-Border Data Transfers

Our Sites are primarily operated in the United States, but we may transfer your personal data to other countries if necessary for service delivery or compliance with legal obligations. If you are located outside the U.S., please note that your data may be transferred to jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country.

By using our Sites or providing us with your personal data, you consent to the cross-border transfer of your data as described in this policy.

You must be at least 18 years old to use our Sites. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.
