We provide you this privacy policy to help you understand the kinds of personal information we may gather about you when you visit the Website or use any of its services, how we may use and disclose that information, and how you can control, correct and/or update that information.
As used in this privacy policy, “personal information” means any information or set of information about an identified or identifiable natural person, where an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified by all means reasonably likely to be used by any person to identify the natural person directly or indirectly. “Personal information” does not include information that is not associated with an identified or identifiable individual or information that is reported in the aggregate (provided that such aggregated information is not identifiable to a natural person), and does not include “anonymous” information, by which we mean information as to which identifying characteristics have been removed without means reasonably likely to be used by any person to re-identify the natural person directly or indirectly.
By visiting the Website or using the services, you are accepting the policies and practices described in this privacy policy. Each time you visit the Website or use the services, you agree and expressly consent to our collection, use and disclosure of the information that you provide as described in this privacy policy.
Personal Information that We Collect
Information You Provide. We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide. The only personal information we may collect is your email address, which we will collect only if you choose to sign up for our newsletter.
Location Information and IP Address. We and our service providers and advertisers may collect and share your location for personalization and marketing purposes using certain digital applications, wireless access protocol services (“WAP Services”) or mobile phone services. We, and/or our service providers, will obtain your prior consent to such collection to the extent required by applicable law. An “Internet protocol address” or “IP Address” is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. We and/or our service providers may use your IP Address when you access the Website or use other means to assist with delivering geographically targeted advertisements. For more information, please see the section below in this privacy policy entitled “Cookies and Targeted Advertising”.

Examples of such information include amount of time spent on our Website, pages viewed, websites users originated from and websites users visit after leaving our Website. This information helps us create a faster, efficient and more relevant website.
Cookies and Targeted Advertising
We may use small pieces of information placed on your browser, known as “cookies”, to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience. We may use cookies to determine what advertisements you see, control the sequence of advertisements and make sure you do not see the same advertisement too many times. We may use cookies along with pixels, web beacons (which are usually small, transparent graphic images), operating system and device information and navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (URL) to gather information regarding the date and time of your visit to our Website, the features and information for which you searched and viewed on our Website, the email you opened (if you choose to sign up for our newsletter), or on which advertisements you clicked. Companies we work with may also use cookies for understanding Web usage patterns of users who see advertisements on the Website. We do not store personal information in any cookies that are placed on your computer.
Cookies can be removed by following your Internet browser’s directions, which are usually within the help menu. However, please understand that in order to use certain features of the Website, your web browser must accept cookies. If you choose to disable cookies, some aspects of the Website may not work properly, and you may not be able to access the Website.
We believe that advertising is more interesting to you when it is relevant. Accordingly, we customize the advertisements that you see based upon: (i) geographic location information, which we may determine through your IP address or other ways; (ii) data we receive from third parties; and (iii) your visits to the Website or use of other services (commonly referred to as behavioral advertising or interest-based advertising). We may use your personal information to deliver customized advertising to you on this Website, on other websites and on other digital and offline media channels. We may use third-party vendors to connect information that we collect on the Website (such as IP addresses, geo-location, cookie-related data, and other information described above) with information collected from other websites, devices and media channels and then show you advertising based on this combined information. The advertisement may appear when you are visiting a different section of the Website or another website, device or media channel.
If you would like more information about behavioral advertising and/or more information so that you may better know your choices with respect to such advertising, please visit www.aboutads.info/choices. Many vendors that engage in behavioral advertising participate in the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) and/or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) and abide by NAI and/or DAA principles. If you wish to opt out of participating in advertising programs conducted by NAI and DAA members or learn more about the NAI and DAA, please go to the NAI Opt-Out website or DAA Ad Choice Page and follow the instructions. After you opt-out, you will still see advertisements, but the advertising may not be as relevant to your interests. If you change your computer, change your browser or delete your cookies, you may need to renew your opt-out. For opt-out options specific to Google Analytics, please visit tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. If you delete your cookies or upgrade your browser after having opted out, you will need to opt out again. If you use multiple browsers or devices, you will need to re-submit this opt-out on each browser or device.
Advertisers or other third parties on the Website may also engage in behavioral advertising and use cookies and web beacons in similar manners as the ways described above. We do not control these advertisers or other parties’ use of cookies or web beacons or what they do with the information they collect.
We may use Facebook to deliver ads on the Website. Facebook may use information you share on Facebook and information gathered from your use of other websites and apps to delivery ads to you.
