COOKIES

We use cookies in connection with the operation of our website. Cookies are generally used for creating a more personalized experience for the website users.

A cookie is a small file that is sent by a web server (where we host our website) to a web browser (from where you view a website) and which is then stored by the browser. The cookie contains an identifier which is stored in your browser and then sent back to our server each time your browser accesses our website. These cookies may either be ‘persistent cookies’ (in which case they will continue to be held by your browser until they are deleted, or until a specified event/date) or they will be ‘session cookies’ which expire when you close your browser.

Usually, cookies do not hold any data by which you can be identified, although if we do hold personal data about you; for example, because you have subscribed to a service that we offer, the cookie may be linked to that data.

We also use cookies for the following purposes:

In addition to cookies used by us, our service providers may also use cookies, and those cookies may also be stored in your browser when you visit our website.

We use Google Analytics. This uses cookies to gather data about how users use our website. This data is used to create reports about that use. Further information about Google’s use of data may be obtained from Google’s website.

If you wish to do so, then usually, you can prevent cookies from being downloaded to your browser and can delete those that have already been downloaded. How this may be achieved varies between different browsers. Consult the website of your browser provider for more details. However, you should be aware that if you block or delete cookies this may have a detrimental impact upon your ability to access our website, and the services that we provide. It may mean that not all of the facilities on our website will be accessible by you, or it may mean that you are unable to access any subscription services which we provide.

HOW DO WE USE COOKIES?

As with most online services, our website uses first-party and third-party cookies for several purposes. First-party cookies are mostly necessary for the website to function the right way, and they do not collect any of your personally identifiable data.

The third-party cookies used on our website are mainly for understanding how the website performs, how you interact with our website, keeping our services secure, providing advertisements that are relevant to you, and all in all providing you with a better and improved user experience.

TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

HOW LONG WE STORE PERSONAL DATA

We apply a general rule of keeping personal data only for as long as it is required and necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. However, in some circumstances, we will retain your personal data for longer periods of time.

We will retain personal data as long as it is necessary and relevant for our operations, e.g., so that we have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenge; and in relation to personal information from closed accounts to comply with applicable laws, prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigation, enforce our Terms of Service and take other actions as permitted by law.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA

The security of your information is important to us, and we will use all reasonable security measures to prevent the loss, misuse, or unauthorized alteration of your information under our control.

Only our administrators are allowed to access our website’s password-protected server where your personal information is stored. We utilize SSL encryption.

Our employees are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and a breach of this agreement would result in the employee’s termination.

While we take all reasonable precautions to ensure that user data is secure and that users are protected, there always remains the risk of harm. The internet can be insecure at times and therefore, we are unable to guarantee the security of user data beyond what is reasonably practical.

YOUR RIGHTS

You have the following rights in respect of your personal data:

Under certain circumstances, you may have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data by us and we may be required to no longer process your personal data.

If you would like to exercise any of those rights, please contact our privacy officer and we will reply to you and send the information you requested free of charge in a suitable electronic form within 45 days.

We will ask you for additional data to confirm your identity and for security purposes, before disclosing data requested by you.

We will decline to process requests that jeopardize the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or would cause us to take any action that is not permissible under applicable laws. Additionally, as permitted by applicable laws, we will retain where necessary certain personal data for a limited period of time for record-keeping, tax, accounting and fraud prevention purposes.

ACCESSING AND CORRECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

You can view and edit your account information yourself after logging in. If you delete your account, we may retain some information for as long as necessary to fulfill our legal obligations, evaluate website usage, troubleshoot issues, resolve disputes, and collect any fees owed. If you have any questions or wish to ask to access, modify, or delete any of your personal data on our website, please contact us. Note that we can deny your request if we think it would violate any laws or cause the information to be incorrect.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENT NOTICE

If you are a California resident, you have the rights outlined in this section as defined in the California Consumer Protection Act (the “CCPA”).

We will not share your personal data with third parties for their direct marketing purposes to the extent it is forbidden by law. If our practices change, we will do so in accordance with applicable laws and will notify you in advance. CCPA requires that operators of online services disclose how they respond to a Do Not Track signal. Some browsers have incorporated “Do Not Track” features. Most of these features, when turned on, send a signal or preference to the online service that a user visits, indicating that the user does not wish to be tracked. At this time we do not respond to Do Not Track signals.

Access: You have the right to request certain information about our collection and use of your personal data over the past 12 months. We will provide you with the following information in a portable and easily accessible format within 45 days of your request:

Deletion: You have the right to request that we delete the personal data that we have collected from you. Under the CCPA, this right is subject to certain exceptions: for example, we may retain some information for as long as necessary to fulfill our legal obligations, provide our services to you, and collect any fees owed. If your deletion request is subject to one of these exceptions, we may deny your deletion request.

Exercising Your Rights: To exercise the rights described above, you must send us a request at [Insert Email Address].

No Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA. This means that you cannot be denied goods or services, charged different prices, or provided different quality of goods or services if you exercise your rights under the CCPA.

If you are a resident of Utah, Colorado, or Connecticut, you have certain rights and choices you should know about:

Notice at Collection: You have a right to receive notice of our practices before or when we collect your information, including the categories of information and sensitive personal information collected, the purposes for which such information is collected or used, whether such information is sold or shared, and how long such information is retained.
