Controlling Our Tracking Tools: You may be able to control the sharing of your device’s location information in the settings menu
of your device. Your browser may give you the ability to control cookies. How you do so depends on the type of cookie. Certain browsers can be set
to reject browser cookies, though flash cookies cannot be controlled through your browser settings. Your mobile device may not give you the
ability to control cookies. If you wish to block cookies on our mobile applications, you will need to delete the application from your mobile
device. If you configure your computer to block cookies, you will limit the functionality we can provide when you visit the Site. If you configure
to block or delete cookies, not all of the tracking that we have described in this policy will stop.
Browser "Do Not Track" signals: Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites or apps that you
do not want to have your online activities tracked. These browser features are not uniform, so we are not currently set up to respond to those
signals.
Our Sites and Children
Our websites and mobile applications are not created for children. To our knowledge we do not collect information online from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a visitor under the age of thirteen on our Sites, we will delete the information from our records. If you are a parent or guardian and think we have information about your child, please contact us immediately as indicated below.
Security
We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized disclosure, use, alteration or destruction of the personal information you provide on our Sites. We use secure socket layer (SSL) technology to help keep the personal information you provide on our Sites secure. When we collect or transmit sensitive information such as a credit card number, we use at least industry standard methods to protect that information. We also request that our third-party service providers use commercially reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access or use. However, no method of electronically transmitting or storing data is ever completely secure, and therefore, we cannot guarantee that your information will never be accessed, used, or disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

Some parts of the Site contain links to third-party websites or apps. If you click on one of those links, you will be taken to websites or apps we do not control.
