Web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of visitors to a website. We do not tie the information gathered by such web beacons to your personally identifiable information. We may also use web beacons in our HTML-based e-mails to let us know which e-mails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these e-mails, please see the “Opting Out” section of this Privacy Policy below.

 

Affiliate Program Participation

 

We may engage in affiliate marketing, meaning we recommend products and services we have used or know well and may receive a commission (at no additional cost to you) if you purchase them.

The content is paid for by our sponsors and does not reflect the opinions of our editorial staff. If you prefer not to receive these e-mails, you may unsubscribe or opt out as specified in the paragraph above. We send advertorial e-mails on behalf of the third party sponsors.

Third Party Ad Server Networks

Our Site may use third parties such as network advertisers to serve advertisements on our Site and may use traffic measurement services to analyze traffic on our Site. Network advertisers are third parties that display advertisements based on your visits to our Site and other websites you have visited. Third party ad serving enables us to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested. Our Site’s third party ad network providers, the advertisers, the sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may themselves set and access their own cookies and other technologies on your computer and track certain behavioral information regarding users of your computer via an IP address or other device identifier. These third party cookies and other technologies are set to, among other things: (a) help deliver advertisements to you that you might be interested in; (b) prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times; and (c) understand the usefulness to you of the advertisements that have been delivered to you. Note that any images (or any other parts of a web page) served by third parties in association with third party cookies may serve as web beacons, which enable third parties to carry out the previously described activities. Third party cookies, web beacons and other third party technologies are governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy, not this one.

Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect the confidentiality and security of your personally identifiable information by using industry recognized security safeguards such as site monitoring, secured networks and servers, firewalls and encryption. When we ask for sensitive information, we protect it through the use of encryption during transmission, such as SSL (Secure Socket Layer). Unfortunately, no method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personally identifiable information within industry standards, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

 

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of your personally identifiable information. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you. You are responsible for protecting against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer/mobile device. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

 

Our employees are trained and required to safeguard your information. Our internal controls limit access to personally identifiable information based on job functionality.
