In Short: We may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with
the following third parties.
We may need to share your personal information in the following situations:
Business Transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or

all or a portion of our business to another company.
- DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
In Short: We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your
information.
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to gather
information when you interact with our Services. Some online tracking technologies help us
maintain the security of our Services, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and
assist with basic site functions.
We also permit third parties and service providers to use online tracking technologies on our
Services for analytics and advertising, including to help manage and display advertisements, to
tailor advertisements to your interests, or to send abandoned shopping cart reminders
(depending on your communication preferences). The third parties and service providers use
their technology to provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interests
which may appear either on our Services or on other websites.
To the extent these online tracking technologies are deemed to be a “sale”/”sharing” (which
includes targeted advertising, as defined under the applicable laws) under applicable US state
laws, you can opt out of these online tracking technologies by submitting a request as described
below under section “DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?”
Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain
cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice.
Google Analytics
We may share your information with Google Analytics to track and analyze the use of the
Services. To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across the Services,
visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For more information on the privacy practices of
Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms page.
- HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in
this Privacy Notice unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set
out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such
as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we
will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because
your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your
personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
- HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and
technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security
measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However,
despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over
the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we
cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties
will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your
information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of
personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the
Services within a secure environment.
- DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.

do we knowingly sell such personal information. By using the Services, you represent that you
are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor
dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18
years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures
to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have
collected from children under age 18, please contact us at __.
- WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time, depending on your
country, province, or state of residence.
Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal
information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you
have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time
by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section “HOW CAN YOU
CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?” below.
However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its
withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal
information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
Cookies and similar technologies: Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If
you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies.
If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services
of our Services.
- CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-
Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to
have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no
uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized.
As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that
automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online
tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a
revised version of this Privacy Notice.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT signals.
Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT
signals, we do not respond to them at this time.

Iowa, Kentucky, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, or
