Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.
Yes, we will update this policy as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. If we do revise this Privacy Policy, we will update the “Last updated” date at the beginning of this Policy which is the effective date of the Policy. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes (via website pop-up) or by directly sending you an email notification if you are a registered user of our site.
