5. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
In Short:
We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store
your information.
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and
pixels) to gather information when you interact with our Services. Some
online tracking technologies help us maintain the security of our Services
and your account, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and
assist with basic site functions.
We also permit third parties and service providers to use online tracking
technologies on our Services for analytics and advertising, including to
help manage and display advertisements, to tailor advertisements to your
interests, or to send abandoned shopping cart reminders (depending on your
communication preferences). The third parties and service providers use
their technology to provide advertising about products and services tailored
to your interests which may appear either on our Services or on other
websites.
To the extent these online tracking technologies are deemed to be a
"sale"/"sharing" (which includes targeted advertising, as defined under the
applicable laws) under applicable US state laws, you can opt out of these
online tracking technologies by submitting a request as described below
under section "
DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?"
Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can
refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice.

6. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS?
In Short: If you choose to register or log in to our Services using a social media
account, we may have access to certain information about you.
Our Services offer you the ability to register and log in using your
third-party social media account details (like your Facebook or X logins).
Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information
about you from your social media provider. The profile information we
receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will
often include your name, email address, friends list, and profile picture,
as well as other information you choose to make public on such a social
media platform.
We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are
described in this Privacy Notice or that are otherwise made clear to you on
the relevant Services. Please note that we do not control, and are not
responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party
social media provider. We recommend that you review their privacy notice to
understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information, and
how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.
7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes
outlined in this Privacy Notice unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary
for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention
period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other
legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your
personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have
an account with us.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal
information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, 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.
8. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short:
Depending on your state of residence in the US or in some regions, such as
the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), Switzerland, and
Canada, you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over
your personal information. You may review, change, or terminate your
account at any time, depending on your country, province, or state of
residence.
In some regions (like the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada), you have
certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the
right (i) to 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. You can make such a request by contacting us by
using the contact details provided in the section "
HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.
We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data
protection laws.
Withdrawing your consent:
If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information,
which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law,
you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw
your consent at any time by contacting us by using the contact details
provided in the section "
HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.
However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the
processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it
affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on
lawful processing grounds other than consent.
Account Information
If you would at any time like to review or change the information in your
account or terminate your account, you can:
-
Log in to your account settings and update your user account.
-
Contact us using the contact information provided.
Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete
your account and information from our active databases. However, we may
retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot
problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our legal terms and/or
comply with applicable legal requirements.
9. 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 signals 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.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT
signals. Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard for
recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time.

Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, or Virginia, you
