Privacy Policy
This privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their 'Personally Identifiable Information' ("PII") is being used online or with mobile applications. PII, as described in U.S. Privacy Law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our Privacy Policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your PII in accordance with our website and mobile app. We may amend or change this Privacy Policy from time to time and without prior notice to you. If we make changes in the way we collect or use information, we will notify visitors by posting an announcement on the website. Your continued use of the website and/or mobile app after an update to the Privacy Policy is published or otherwise communicated to you shall constitute your consent to the changes. Otherwise, you should not continue accessing the website or app. This policy is effective as of January, 22 2018.

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorized access or

security of information you disclose or transmit to and through our website and cannot be responsible for
the theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of information. We highly recommend that visitors keep
their computers secure.
Do we use 'cookies'?
A cookie is a small file that asks permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. Once you agree,
the file is added, and the cookie helps analyze web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular
site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its
operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your
preferences.
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Web site. These companies may use
information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to this
and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you
would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information
used by these companies, click here.
Third-party disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your PII unless we provide users with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release information when its release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
Third-party links
Our website may contain links to enable you to visit other websites of interest easily. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information that you provide while visiting such sites, and this privacy policy does not govern such sites. Since we do not control the privacy policies of any third party, you should investigate its policy before you disclose your personal information to them.

California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a
privacy policy. The laws reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the
United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting PII from California consumers to
post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those
individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.

How does our site handle Do Not Track signals?
We honor Do Not Track signals and Do Not Track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.
COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
Our website is for adults. When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the
age of 13 years old, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The
Federal Trade Commission, United States' consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells
out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety
online.
We do not market to children. If we discover we have received any information from a person who is under the
age of majority in violation of the law, we will delete that information immediately. If you believe that we
have any information from or about anyone under the age of majority, please contact us immediately.
Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information. In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will notify you via email within 1 business day.
CAN SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial
messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough
penalties for violations. We do not expect to collect or send out emails, but if we decide to do so we will
comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, which includes:
• Not use false or misleading subjects or email addresses.
• Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.
• Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters.
• Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.
• Honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly.
• Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email.
If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can email us at
