Links to Third Party Sites

We provide links on the Site to third-party sites. Because we do not control the information policies or practices of these third-party sites, you should review their privacy policies to learn about how they may collect and use your personal data. If you choose to visit social media platforms such as Instagram, LinkedIn or Facebook through the links on the Site, the information you provide on or through those platforms will be shared with those platforms and may, in some cases, be viewed by the general public. We do not control user-posted content on social media websites and are not responsible for any third-party use of information that you have posted, transmitted or otherwise made available there. For the avoidance of doubt, this Policy applies solely to information collected by us through the Site.

Security

We use reasonable technical, administration, and physical controls to help protect your personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Despite our efforts, no data security measures can guarantee security. If you believe the security of your personal data has been compromised, please notify us immediately using the contact information below.

Transfers of Personal Data Outside the EEA, Switzerland or UK

In some cases, disclosure of personal data to other persons will involve transferring personal data from a country in the EEA, Switzerland or UK to a country which has been held not to provide a level of protection of personal data equivalent to that provided in such locations. In particular, personal data from the EEA, Switzerland or UK, if any, will be transferred to, stored in and processed in the United States. If we transfer your personal information out of the EEA, Switzerland or UK to a country not deemed to provide an adequate level of personal information protection for purposes of applicable data protection laws such that additional safeguards are required, the transfer will be performed only with your consent, to pursue our legitimate business interests, or as otherwise permitted by applicable laws.

Your Rights

You may have certain legal rights with respect to our use, processing and sharing of your personal data, as described below, depending on where you reside. We make the rights described below available to all users, regardless of whether you reside in a jurisdiction that expressly provides for a particular right. There may be limitations to these rights under applicable law. If you wish to contact us to exercise any of these rights, please contact us as set forth at the end of this Policy.

  • Access: You may request a copy of the personal data that we have collected, used, or shared about you, and why we collected, used or shared that personal data, including the categories of personal data collected, the specific items of personal data collected, the categories of sources from which we collected personal data, the purposes for which we use the personal data, the categories of third parties with whom we share the personal data, and the categories of information that we disclose to third parties.
  • Accuracy: We aim to keep your personal data accurate, current, and complete. We encourage you to contact us to let us know if any of your personal data is not accurate or changes.
  • Objecting/Deletion: You have the right to object to processing of your personal data and to ask us to block, delete or restrict your personal data, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive your request and verify your identity, we will delete your personal data from our records and direct our service providers to delete your personal data from their records, unless an exception applies under applicable law. You may also request that we limit our use of your sensitive personal information, if applicable.
  • Portability: You have the right to request that your personal data be provided to you, or to another data controller, in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
  • Complaints: If you believe that your data protection rights may have been breached, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the applicable supervisory or other governmental authority.

We will not deny you services, charge you a different price, provide a different level or quality of services or otherwise discriminate against you just because you exercised any of these rights; however, if you decline to provide your personal data or ask us to delete it or stop disclosing it, we may be unable to provide you with certain services.

Only you, or a person whom you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a request related to your personal data. The request must: provide sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal data or an authorized representative of such person; and describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal data if you do not take the foregoing actions. Making a request does not require you to create an account with us. We will use personal data provided in a request only to verify your identity or authority to make the request.

Do Not Track

We do not respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals from web browsers. DNT is a preference that users can set in their web browser to inform websites that they do not want to be tracked.

Children

The Services are not directed to persons under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13 becomes aware that their child has provided us with personal data without such parent or guardian’s consent, they should contact us and we will delete such information from our files.

Interpretation

All references herein to “include” or “including” shall be deemed to mean “include without limitation” or “including without limitation,” as the case may be.
