We utilize the following criteria to determine the length of time for which we retain Personal Information: 

• The nature and length of our relationship with you;

8. Children’s Privacy  #

9. Do Not Track  #

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web browser setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a unique signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug-in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity. Various third parties are developing or have developed signals or other mechanisms for the expression of consumer choice regarding the collection of information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services (e.g., browser do not track signals), but there is no universally agreed upon standard for what an organization should do when it detects a DNT signal. Currently, we do not monitor or take any action with respect to these signals or other mechanisms. You can learn more about Do Not Track here.  

10. Visitors to the Site Outside of the United States  #

If you are visiting the Site from a location outside of the U.S., your personal information will be maintained on web servers and systems located within the U.S. The data protection laws in the United States may differ from those of the country in which you are located, and your information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States according to laws of the United States.  

11. Security  #

We incorporate commercially reasonable safeguards to help protect and secure your Personal Information. However, no data transmission over the Internet, mobile networks, wireless transmission, or electronic information storage can be guaranteed 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from the Site, and you provide us with your information at your own risk.
