When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will securely delete or anonymize it. If deletion is not possible (for example, because your information is stored in backup archives), we will securely store your information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion becomes possible.

How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?

In Short: We use organizational and technical measures to protect your personal information, but no system can be completely secure.

We implement reasonable security safeguards designed to protect the personal information we process. These include encryption, secure server environments, and access controls. Despite these efforts, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties, hackers, or cybercriminals will never defeat our security measures or improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk, and we recommend accessing Services only within secure environments.

In Short: Depending on where you live, you may have rights to review, update, or delete your personal information.

Controls for Do-Not-Track Features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") setting that signals your preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. Currently, there is no uniform standard for recognizing or implementing DNT signals, and we do not respond to them. If such a standard is adopted in the future and we must comply, we will update this Privacy Notice accordingly.

California law requires disclosure of how we respond to DNT signals. Since no uniform standard currently exists, we do not respond to DNT browser signals at this time.
