How We Protect Your Personal Information
We take reasonable and appropriate security measures to help safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access and disclosure.

If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please notify us of the situation as soon as possible by contacting us at the addresses listed below; if you choose to notify us via physical mail, this will delay the time it takes for us to respond to the situation, even in those situations in which it is appropriate for us to do so. Users should take care with how they handle and disclose their personal information and should avoid sending personal information through insecure communication channels, such as email. Please refer to the Federal Trade Commission’s website at https://consumer.ftc.gov/identity-theft-and-online-security/online-privacy-and-security for information about how to protect yourself online.
Children Under the Age of 16
Our Website is not intended for children under 16 years of age. No one under age 16 may provide any information to or on the Website or in relation to a Promotional Event. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you are under 16, do not use or provide any information on this Website or on or through any of its features or register for or participate in a Promotional Event.

Your California Privacy Rights
If you are a resident of the State of California in the U.S., please see our California Privacy Notice below for additional California-specific privacy information.
Do Not Track Disclosure
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in some web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their website visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information we collect; however, we do not currently recognize or respond to DNT signals, as the Internet industry works toward defining exactly what DNT will mean, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT signals.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we post changes to the Privacy Policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We recommend that you check our Website from time to time to inform yourself of any changes in this Privacy Policy or any of our other policies.
