Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our services is at your own risk. You should only access the services within a secure environment. 


What Are Your Privacy Rights?

You may review, change or terminate your account at any time, depending on your country, province, or state or residence. 

In some regions (like EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right to (i) request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; (iv) if applicable, to data portability; and (v) not to be subject to automated decision making. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. 

Opting out of marketing communications: You can unsubscribe from our markerting communications at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that we send out, or by contacting us using the details provided in the section “How you can contact us about this notice” below. You will then be removed from marketing lists. However, we may still communicate with you for service-related messages that are necessary for the administration and use of your account, to respond to service requests or other non-marketing purposes. 


Controls For Do-Not-Track Features?

Most web-browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (DNT) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signal or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.


How Can You Review, Update, Or Delete The Data We Collect From You?

You have the right to request access to the personal information we collect from you, details about how we have processed it, correct inaccuracies, or delete your personal information.
