You are strongly encouraged to review such policies or notices. We do not endorse or make any representations or warranties concerning, and will not in any way be liable for, any informational content, products, services, software, or other materials available on other websites, even if one or more pages of the other websites are framed within, or linked to, a page of our Sites. 

Do Not Track 

Our Sites may, from time to time, collect information about your online activities, overtime time and across our Sites. Third parties may also collect information about your online activities over time and across different internet websites, online or cloud computing services, online applications, or mobile applications.

Our Sites do not currently change the way they operate based upon detection of a “Do Not Track” or similar signal.  

How Do We Store & Protect Your Information 

Although no system or website can guarantee the complete security of your information, we take all commercially reasonable steps to ensure your information is protected in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, as appropriate to the sensitivity of your information.  

How Long Do We Keep Your Information? 

We keep your information for as long as necessary in accordance with the purposes for which it was collected, our business needs, and our legal and regulatory obligations. If we dispose of your information, we will do so in a way that is commercially reasonable, taking into account the sensitivity of the information.  

Your Choices 

We provide you with the ability to exercise certain controls and choices about how we collect, use, share, and store your information.  

Please note, for some of these rights (such as the Right to Access and Right to Delete), we may take steps to verify your identity by matching the information you provide with your request with the information we have on file about you.
