Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small, sometimes encrypted text files that are stored on computer hard drives by websites that you visit. They are used to help users navigate websites efficiently as well as to provide information to the owner of the websites. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
When you visit the Site, we may place a “cookie” or other online tracking device (e.g. web beacons) that recognizes you when you visit the Sites. These are used for technical convenience to store information on your computer. For instance, we may use a session cookie to store form information that you have entered so that you do not have to enter such information again. We may use information stored in such text files and images to customize your experience on this website and to monitor use of this website. You may set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. Many web browsers also allow you to block cookies. If you block cookies you may not be able to access certain parts of this website. You can disable cookies from your computer system by following the instructions on your browser or at www.youradchoices.com.
We use Google Analytics to evaluate the use of our website. Google Analytics uses cookies and other identifiers to collect information, such as how often users visit the website, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other websites they visited prior to visiting our website. To learn more about how Google Analytics collects personal information, review Google’s Privacy Policy.
Do Not Track
“Do Not Track” is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. We do not respond to browser “do not track” signals.
Personal Information of Minors
Our products and services are not directed to minors under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect the Personal Information of minors under 13.
How We Keep Your Personal Information Secure
We implement and maintain reasonable security appropriate to the nature of the personal information that we collect, use, retain, transfer or otherwise process. Our reasonable security program is implemented and maintained in accordance with applicable law and relevant standards. However, there is no perfect security, and reasonable security is a process that involves risk management rather than risk elimination. While we are committed to developing, implementing, maintaining, monitoring and updating a reasonable information security program, no such program can be perfect; in other words, all risk cannot reasonably be eliminated. Data security incidents and breaches can occur due to vulnerabilities, criminal exploits or other factors that cannot reasonably be prevented. Accordingly, while our reasonable security program is designed to manage data security risks and thus help prevent data security incidents and breaches, it cannot be assumed that the occurrence of any given incident or breach results from our failure to implement and maintain reasonable security.
California Data Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information, including rights to access or delete such information, in accordance with California law. To learn more about your California privacy rights, see our California Privacy Notice.

Our Site may contain links to other websites or social media buttons. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those websites or social media platforms. This Privacy Policy applies only to our business and the personal information we collect.
Changes to This Policy
We will review and update this Policy as required to keep current with rules and regulations, new technologies and security standards. We will post those changes on the website or update the “last updated” date of the Privacy Policy. In certain cases and if the changes are material, you will be notified via email or a notice on our website.
