Our Stance on Selling Personal Information
Our principle stands clear – we do not engage in selling personal data. Nevertheless, it’s important to acknowledge that our affiliated service providers, such as those in advertising, might employ technologies within our service that the CCPA identifies as constituting “sale” of personal information.
To retract consent from having your personal data utilized for interest-based advertising and any potential “sales” outlined by the CCPA, we’ve laid out instructions below for your action.
Do take into account that opting out is browser-specific. Ensuring you remain opted out across all your devices requires action on each browser utilized.
Website Navigation for Opt-Out
Facilitate your opt-out from personalized advertisements provided by our Service Providers by adhering to the guidelines available through our Service:
- Via our “Cookie Consent” notice banner
- Through our “CCPA Opt-out” notice banner
- By heading to our “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” notice banner or link
Choosing to opt out will initiate the placement of a unique cookie on your computer, tied to the browser used for opting out. Changing browsers or clearing cookies demands a reiteration of the opt-out process.
Mobile Device Preferences
Mobile devices offer features to opt out from app information usage aimed at targeted advertising:
- For Android devices, choose “Disable Interest-Based Ads” or “Turn off Ads Personalization.”
- For iOS devices, choose “Limit Ad Tracking”
Further, altering your mobile device’s settings can cease the collection of location data.
Policy on Do Not Track Signals
Our Service does not alter its behavior in response to Do Not Track signals. Nonetheless, you may encounter third-party sites that record your browsing activities. For such occasions, web browsers allow settings adjustments to alert websites of your preference against tracking. Activation or deactivation of DNT signals is accessible through your web browser’s preference or settings menu.
Ensuring Privacy for Children
Our Services are not designed for individuals under 13 years of age, and knowingly, we do not collect personal information from those below this age threshold. Should parents or guardians become aware of their child’s personal data provision to us, we urge immediate contact. Discovery of such data collection without parental consent prompts us to promptly eliminate such information from our servers.
In instances involving users aged between 13 to 18 years, our data handling practices may be slightly adjusted, potentially affecting the availability of certain Service functionalities to this age group.
For processing information necessitating parental consent under your jurisdiction, we will seek such consent prior to the collection and use of the information.
Navigating External Links
Our Service might feature links leading to non-affiliated websites. Clicking on third-party links directs you to that entity’s website, where reviewing their Privacy Policy becomes crucial.
We reserve no authority over the content, privacy policies, or practices endorsed by third-party sites or services.
Privacy Policy Updates
Our Privacy Policy is subject to periodic updates. Announcements of such changes will be made on our webpage and communicated through email or a prominent Service notice, coming into effect once “Last updated” is adjusted at the policy’s commencement.
For keeping abreast with any alterations to this policy, periodic review is recommended. Modifications become binding once visibly posted on this page.
