Tracking Technologies

Like many other Internet websites, our Website may use “cookie” technology to measure Website activity and to customize information to your personal tastes. A “cookie” is an element of data that a website can send to your browser, which then stores the “cookie” on your hard drive. When you return to our Website we can recognize you from the information stored in the “cookie” and can tailor information to suit your individual preferences. The goal is to save you time and provide you with a more meaningful visit. You may set your browser to notify you when you receive a “cookie,” and to refuse or accept “cookies.” However, please note that if you choose not to accept “cookies” you will limit the functionality we can provide to you at our Website.

Social Media Widgets

Our Website includes social media features, such as the Facebook Like button, Twitter and Widgets, such as the “Share This” button or interactive mini-programs that run on our Website. These features may collect your Internet protocol address, which page you are visiting on our Website, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and Widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Website. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy statement of the company providing it.

Google Analytics

We use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about the use of this Website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the Website, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this Website. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve this Website.

We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this Website, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this Website is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google privacy policy & principles. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this Website by disabling cookies on your browser.

California’s Do Not Track Notice

California Privacy Rights

You should review the privacy policies of these websites before providing them with personal information.

Security

No data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you understand that any information that you transfer to us is done at your own risk.

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronical, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. Our secure server uses Secure Sockets Layer software (“SSL”) which allows us to receive information that your Web browser encrypts and transmits to us. SSL encryption technology helps to prevent the unauthorized viewing and downloading of your personal information. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software.

In addition, although we obligate third parties who support our Website and their related offers or other programs to use any personal information only for the purpose of performing their work, we do not control such third parties’ website or other security measures.

If we learn of a security systems breach we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using the Website or providing personally identifiable information to us you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of the Website. We may post a notice on our Website if a security breach occurs. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us in these circumstances. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.
