This Policy also explains how we handle personal and other data we receive about you. Please review the following information in conjunction with the Site’s Terms of Use. By accessing or using our Site, you agree to abide by both the Site’s terms and conditions and this Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy periodically.

Types of Information We Collect

We collect two types of information about our users: Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) and Aggregate Information.

Personally Identifiable Information: This includes data that identifies you as an individual. When you engage in specific activities on this Site, such as registering for an account, downloading or purchasing a product or service, submitting content, or sending us feedback, we may request certain information about you. PII may include your name, email address, billing address, IP address, and other identifying details.

Aggregate Information: This encompasses data that does not personally identify individuals. We gather information about your activities on our Site, the websites that directed you to us, browser type, and IP address, among other data, to analyze site usage both in the aggregate and on an individual basis.

How We Collect and Use Information

We only collect PII when you voluntarily provide it. In some cases, providing certain PII is required when you choose to use specific products or services on the Site. We employ Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology to protect the transmission of sensitive information, preventing it from being intercepted or stolen.

We use your PII primarily to provide products and services, improve site operation, enhance marketing efforts, analyze site usage, develop offerings, customize site content and layout, deliver information, and contact you for administrative purposes, dispute resolution, problem troubleshooting, and enforcement of our agreements with you.

We may also collect Aggregate Information for purposes like diagnosing server issues, administering the site, and gathering demographic data.

Cookies

We may use cookies to collect aggregate data and customize the user experience based on how you use our Site. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer that identify your browser. They may contain personalized information, such as your IP address and browser type. While cookies monitor site usage, store passwords, account preferences, and advertising choices, they do not track your browsing behavior. Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can modify your preferences to refuse or notify you when cookies are set.

Release of Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your PII. However, some of our products and services are provided in collaboration with third-party affiliates, service providers, and partners, and they may require access to PII to perform tasks between sites or deliver products and services. Please review their respective privacy policies.

We may disclose PII to law enforcement or judicial authorities when required by law. We cooperate fully with law enforcement agencies to identify users engaging in unlawful activities.

Aggregate Information may be shared with third-party advertisers but does not include PII.

User Choices on Collection and Use of Information

If you consented to receiving offers or information from us and our partners upon registration, you may receive emails, calls, or direct mail about products and services. You can opt-out at any time by editing your account information.

You can also manage cookies by modifying your browser settings. Rejecting all cookies may impact the Site’s functionality.

Security of Your PII

We employ security measures consistent with industry standards to protect your PII. This includes data encryption, limited access to authorized personnel, physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards, and encrypted passwords. However, we cannot guarantee 100% security, given inherent limitations of the internet.

Your access to PII is password-protected and encrypted. Do not share your password.
