Technology Information

When you access the Services, our servers automatically log certain information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol address, MAC address, location (such as GPS signals sent by a mobile device) or information that can be used to approximate your location (such as a cell ID), browser type, browser language, connection history, and the date and time of your request.

Cookies: We may use a technology called “cookies”. A cookie is a tiny element of data that websites can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your device so we can recognize you when you return.  We use cookies to improve the quality of our Service, including for storing user preferences, improving ad selection, and tracking user trends. You may set your Web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to not accept certain cookies. However, if you decide not to accept cookies from us, you may not be able to take advantage of all of the features of our Services.

Advertising: We and other third parties (such as ad networks, data exchanges, and other service providers) may also use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with advertisements and promotions when you use our Services. The information collected by these third parties may be used to tailor ads you see both on our Services and on third-party websites. You can choose not to receive tailored advertising from listed ad networks, data exchanges, and other service providers using this online tool. You can opt out of Google’s specific use of cookies for these purposes by visiting Google’s Ads Preferences Manager. If you opt out of receiving tailored advertising from a third party, including Google, you may still see ads about us, but those ads will not be customized by the companies that you opt-out of.

Third party links: When you use our services, you may be presented with links to websites that we do not own or operate. Except as provided herein, we will not provide any of your personal information to these third parties without your consent. We provide links to third party websites as a convenience to the user. These links are not intended as an endorsement of or referral to the linked websites. The linked websites have separate and independent privacy statements, notices and terms of use, which we recommend you read carefully. We do not have any control over such websites, and therefore we have no responsibility or liability for the manner in which the organizations that operate such linked websites may collect, use or disclose, secure and otherwise treat your personal information.

We may present links in a format that enables us to keep track of whether these links have been followed. We use this information to improve the quality of our content and services.

Information Security

We have implemented reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards in an effort to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure of personal information in our custody and control. Unfortunately, no collection or transmission of information over the Internet or other publicly accessible communications networks can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and therefore, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any such information.
