Cookies Disclosure

We use "cookies" on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor's hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site. Some of our third-party processors may use cookies on our site (for example, Paypal or a payment processor). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies

Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any Personal Information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect a user's Personal Information, transmission of this information to and from our Services is at each user's own risk. Users should only access our Services within a secure environment.

In some regions (like the European Economic Area), individuals have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of their Personal Information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of their Personal Information; and (iv) if applicable, to data portability. In certain circumstances, individuals may also have the right to object to the processing of their Personal Information.
