This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses as well as browser type, internet service provider, URLs of referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, information you search for, locale and language preferences, identification numbers associated with your devices, your mobile carrier, and system configuration information. Occasionally, we connect personal information to information gathered in our log files as necessary to improve our websites.

• We currently use third party processors for internet-based payment services. If you wish to make a payment through any of our websites, your Personal Information may be collected by such processors directly and not by us, and will be subject to the third party's privacy policy. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, third parties' collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information.
• We do not share Personal Information with any third-party service providers including those that we use to provide hosting for and maintenance of our websites, application development, backup, storage, analytics and other services.

Links to Other Websites

• Our Websites may contain links to other websites.  This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices of any third parties, including any site or other products and services used in connection with our products or websites. The inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us or by our affiliates.

 Data Retention

• We will retain your Personal Information for as long as needed or permitted considering the purpose(s) for which it was obtained and consistent with applicable law. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:
• The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide products to you (for example, for as long as you have an account with us)
• If information is required to maintain support of our products in accordance with the stated warranty
• Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws and Federal Regulations require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period before we can delete them)
• Whether retention is advisable considering our legal position (such as regarding applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations)

Security of Personal Information

• The security of Personal Information is a high priority to us. We seek to use reasonable technical, administrative and physical safeguards to protect Personal Information within our organization, and data is stored in a secured system that is password protected to ensure no unauthorized access.  Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
• When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to retain your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

How to access, correct, delete or exercise other rights regarding your Personal Information

• You have certain choices available to you when it comes to your personal information. Below is a summary of those choices, how to exercise them and any limitations.

Accessing, correcting, updating and removing your information:

• Where applicable law allows for such a request, if you would like to request to access, correct, object to the use, restrict or delete Personal Information that you have previously provided to us, or if you would like to request to receive an electronic copy of your Personal Information for purposes of transmitting it to another company (to the extent this right to data portability is provided to you by applicable law), you may contact us at . We will respond to your request consistent with applicable law.
• For your protection, we may only implement requests with respect to the Personal Information associated with the email address that you use to send us your request, and we may need to verify your identity before implementing your request.
• Please note that we may need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes and/or to complete any transactions that you began prior to requesting a change or deletion (e.g., when you make a purchase, you may not be able to change or delete the Personal Information provided until after the completion of such purchase). There may also be residual information that will remain within our databases and other records, which will not be removed.
