Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. This privacy policy addresses the concerns of users regarding how their ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ (PII) is being used online. PII, as defined in global privacy laws and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. To better protect your privacy we provide this policy explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected, used, protected or otherwise handled.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your Personally Identifiable Information unless we provide you with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.

However, non- personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, business or other uses.

Third Party Links

At our discretion, we may include or offer third party products or services on our website. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies.

Google

Google’s advertising requirements can be summed up by Google’s Advertising Principles. They are put in place to provide a positive experience for users.

We use Google AdSense Advertising on our website.

Google, as a third party vendor, uses Cookies to serve ads on our site. Google’s use of the DART Cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and other sites on the Internet.

We have implemented the following:

• Remarketing with Google AdSense

• Demographics and Interests Reporting
• DoubleClick Platform Integration

Similar with third-party vendors, such as Google, we use first- party Cookies (such as the Google Analytics Cookies) and third-party Cookies (such as the DoubleClick Cookie) or other third-party identifiers together to compile data regarding user interactions with ad impressions, and other ad service functions as they relate to our website.

Opting out:
Users can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Settings page. Alternatively, you can opt out by visiting the Network Advertising initiative opt out page or permanently using the Google Analytics Opt Out Browser add on.

A link to this Privacy Policy is displayed and can be easily found on the home page of our website including the relevant ‘Privacy’ word. Users will be notified of any changes regarding this Policy on our Privacy Policy page.

How does our site handle Do Not Track Signals?

We honor Do Not Track Signals and Do Not Track Plant Cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.

Does our site allow Third Party Behavioral Tracking?

It’s also important to note that we do not allow Third Party Behavioral Tracking.

In line with international standards and best practice, we will take the following responsive action should a data breach occur:

• We will notify the users via email
• Within 7 business days
• We will notify the users via in- site notification
• Within 7 business days

We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/ or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
