5.2. Third-Party Service Providers

We may send or share your information with third-party service providers who assist us with our business operations (for example, customer service operators and email or phone admiGuideUnclestration providers) and help us understand how our users use the site and services, as well as how to operate and improve them.

State Privacy Notice

 In some cases, state privacy regulations may apply to the data we share. This section may apply to you and supplements the main privacy policy. Various state privacy laws give residents particular rights in relation to their personal information. If you are a resident of one of the relevant states, and to the degree permitted by law, you may:

Request to Know/Access

You may have the right to know what information we have collected, utilized, or disclosed within the previous twelve (12) months. Please review Sections 3.1 (information you supply to us), 3.2 (information we collect), and 3.3 (information we receive from third parties) to determine the scope and conditions for exercising this right. We will also provide to you the specific pieces of personal information that we have gathered about you if we receive your request in accordance with the sections listed above and verify your identification.

Request For Deletion

You may request that we erase any of your personal information that we collect and retain, subject to certain limitations. We will delete your personal information from our records once we have verified your identification, unless an exception applies.

Request to Opt Out of the Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

Though we do not currently sell personal information, state privacy laws may consider some of our use of cookies as a “sale” of personal information. As a resident of one of those states, you may click the “do not sell my personal information” link at the bottom of our homepage, check the box, and opt out of such “sale” of information to third parties. When you opt out, you may still see general audience advertising regarding our services.

No Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your above-mentioned rights by: (A) denying you goods or services; (B) charging you different rates for goods or services; (C) providing you with a different level or quality of goods or services; or (D) implying that you will receive a different price, rate, level, or quality. We may charge a different rate or provide a different level or quality of service if the difference is reasonable in relation to the value you receive from the personal information we collect.

Handling Privacy Requests

We aim to reply to a verifiable customer request within forty-five (45) days of receipt. If exercising your right takes longer (up to 45 days), we will notify you in writing of the cause and the extension period. We may decline your request if we are unable to verify it or if we need to keep your personal information for particular purposes (e.g., detecting security events, debugging, or complying with legal responsibilities).

Do Not Track Notice

Some web browsers support the "Do Not Track" ("DNT") signal. A DNT signal is an HTTP header field that indicates your desire to track your actions on the service or via cross-site user tracking. We don't yet reply to DNT signals.

8. Information Security

We and the respective third-party services and affiliated companies use data security systems and procedures to protect the information sent, processed, and stored on the site, as well as our computer servers and systems. For example, the site, as well as any other information in transit, is encrypted using SSL; we review our information and data collection practices on a regular basis to ensure constant monitoring; we use third-party processing and serving services that implement various information security standards and certifications (at rest and transmission); and we monitor and filter data access when it comes to personnel in our organization. Such systems and procedures reduce the risk of security breaches, but they do not provide absolute security, as there is no such thing when it comes to the worldwide network. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the site and our servers are immune to unauthorized access to the information stored therein and to other information security risks.

9. Children’s Privacy

The site and services are not intended to attract users under the age of 18. As a result, we do not intend to collect personal information from anyone we know to be under 18. If we discover that we have collected personal information from a child under 18, we will make commercially reasonable attempts to erase that information as soon as practicable. If you suspect we have any such information, please contact us using this form.

10. Commitment

Protecting your privacy online is a constantly evolving process, and we make every effort to evolve our site in accordance with these regulations and best practices in all jurisdictions where the site is available.
