With this in mind, we provide you this privacy policy (the “Policy”) to help you understand the kinds of information we may gather about you when you use our website, application, online and/or mobile services (collectively the “Services”), how we may use and disclose the information, and how you can control, correct and/or update the information. By accessing or using the Services, you are accepting the policies and practices described in this Policy. Each time you visit 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 Policy. Any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the Terms of Service.
Please note that this Policy does not apply to your use of third-party sites, services, or applications you may access through the Services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties for more information regarding their privacy practices.
We collect information you provide directly to us when using the Services. For example, we collect information when you complete a form, participate in any interactive features of the Services, request customer support, or otherwise communicate with us. The types of information we may collect include your name, email address, mailing and billing address, and any other information you choose to provide. For purposes of registering and using the Services, we collect certain information that can identify you, such as your name and contact information (email, address and phone number) (“Personal Information”) We will never sell, rent, or trade Personal Information and will only use it, as needed, to provide the Services requested by you. Company discloses Personal Information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know the information in order to process it on yours and our behalf, and (ii) that have agreed in writing to non-disclosure restrictions at least as strong as those herein. We also may collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information including phone number). We may associate your device identifiers or phone number with your account. Depending on the nature of your inquiry or activities on the Services, we may also ask for other information relevant to your use of the Services.
We may allow others to provide analytics service in connection with the Services, such as Google Analytics. These entities may use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Services, including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked, and conversion information.

For example, we may collect information about you from third parties who provide services on our behalf, such as maintaining and monitoring usage of the Services and processing payment transactions. We also may receive information about you from the third parties with whom you interact through the Services.
This policy is not intended to place any limits on what we do with data that is aggregated and/or de-identified so it is no longer associated with an identifiable user of the Services. In other words, information about how you use the Services may be collected and combined with information about how others use the same Services, but no personally identifiable information will be included in the resulting data.
We may also share aggregated or de-identified information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect at and through our website. The website may contain links to or embedded content from third party websites. A link to or embedded content from a third-party website does not mean that we endorse that third party website, the quality or accuracy of information presented on the third-party website or the persons or entities associated with the third-party website. If you decide to visit a third-party website, you are subject to the privacy policy of the third-party website as applicable and we are not responsible for the policies and practices of the third-party website.

We work hard to protect your information and take appropriate commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and other security measures to help safeguard personal information from loss, unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Our security practices include: encrypting many of our services using SSL; verification for account access; and frequent review of information collection, storage and processing practices, including physical security measures, to guard against unauthorized access to systems. However, and unfortunately, no internet or e-mail transmission is ever fully secure or error free. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you provide to us.
We will retain your Personal Information for the period of time that is necessary to fulfil the original purposes for which it has been collected.

Please note that we are not responsible for storing any information that you provide to us or for any content or information that we provide to you. You are solely responsible for retaining backup files of any information and content that you provide or receive in connection with the website or Services.
The Services are provided from the United States. If you are located outside of the United States, any information you provide to us may be transferred out of your country and into the United States. You understand that data stored in the United States may be subject to lawful requests by the courts or law enforcement authorities in the United States.

Please note that there might be a brief delay between when you submit your request to ‘opt-out’ and when it is processed and reflected in our systems; accordingly, you may continue to receive communications from us for a limited time after you unsubscribe. We appreciate your patience.
Company reserves the right to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Policy at any time and without prior notice, and any changes will become effective immediately upon being posted unless we advise you otherwise. However, we will not use your Personal Information in a way that is materially different than the uses described in this Policy without giving you an opportunity to opt out of such differing uses.

This State Addendum to the Company Privacy Policy (“Addendum”) supplements the terms of Company’s Privacy Policy and applies to individuals who are residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, and Utah, as specified below. It describes the rights you may have, depending on the state of your residence, with regard to your personal information, which apply when new or updated laws take effect in these states. This Addendum does not apply to any employees, owners, directors, officers, or contractors of Company or its affiliates.
The section relates solely to residents of the State of California, and for purposes of this section, “you” means residents of the State of California. This section will provide you with information about our information practices and your privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) and applicable regulations (collectively referred to as “CPRA”). Any terms defined in the CPRA have the same meaning when used in this section.
Company collects information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California consumer or household (“CPRA Covered Personal Information” or “personal information”). CPRA Covered Personal Information does not include personal information that has been de-identified or aggregated, or that is publicly available information from government records.
In particular, we have collected the following categories of CPRA Covered Personal Information from consumers (as that term is defined in the CPRA) within the last twelve (12) months:
You have the right to know the categories of sources from which we collect your personal information. We make this information available to you in the INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT section of our Privacy Policy.
You have the right to know how we process and use your personal information. We make this information available to you in the USE OF INFORMATION section of our Privacy Policy.
You have the right to know if we share your personal information with any third parties and the categories of those third parties. We make this information available to you in the SHARING OF INFORMATION section of our Privacy Notice.
We do not sell personal information for monetary or other consideration, and we do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising (as defined in the CPRA). We have also not sold or shared the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.
We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those specified in section 7027, subsection (m) of the CPRA regulations and we do not collect or process sensitive personal information for purposes of inferring characteristics about you.
a) Where we are acting as a business (as opposed to a service provider as those terms are defined in the CPRA), you have the following rights:
b) Exercising Your Rights
We are only required to fulfill verifiable requests. Only you, you as a parent or a legal guardian on behalf of a minor child, or your authorized agent may make a verifiable request related to personal information. If you submit your request through an authorized agent, we may require you to provide your agent with written permission to do so and verify your identity. We may deny any request by an authorized agent that does not submit proof that the agent has been authorized by you to act on your behalf.
We will use the personal information you provide in a request only for purposes of verifying your identity or authority to make the request.
d) Response Timing and Format
We will respond to a verifiable request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt, and will notify you within those forty-five (45) days if we require more time to respond and the reasons for the additional time. If you have an Account with us, we will deliver our written response to that Account. If you do not have an Account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. (Note that the law prohibits us from disclosing at any time a consumer’s Social Security number, driver’s license number or other government-issued identification number, financial account number, any health insurance or medical identification number, an Account password, security questions and answers, or any unique biometric data.) If we cannot comply with a request or a portion of the request, we will include the reasons in our response. If we deny your request on the basis that it is impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort, we will explain our reasons, such as the data is not in a searchable or readily accessible format, is maintained for only legal or compliance purposes, or is not sold or used for any commercial purpose and our inability to disclose it, delete or correct it would not impact you in any material manner.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
*Please note that in certain cases we may collect your personal information as a service provider (as opposed to a business, as those terms are defined in the CPRA) pursuant to a contract we have with a commercial client (the CPRA business) to provide a service. In such a case, we are required to collect and process your information only based on the instructions received from the business. Should you direct your requests to exercise your rights to us, we may be required to share your request with the business, who is the party responsible under the CPRA for receiving, verifying and responding to your requests, or we may direct you to make your request directly to the business.

You have the right to know if we share your personal information with any third parties. We make this information available to you in the SHARING OF INFORMATION section of our Privacy Policy.

In such a case, we are required to collect and process your information only based on the instructions received from the controller. Should you direct your requests to exercise your rights to us, we may be required to share your request with the controller, who is the party responsible under your applicable state privacy law for receiving, authenticating and responding to your requests.
