5. Tracking Technologies (Cookies and Web Beacons)

We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on the Site to help customize the Site and improve your experience. When you access the Site, your personal information is not collected through the use of tracking technology. Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can remove or reject cookies, but be aware that such action could affect the availability and functionality of the Site. You may not decline web beacons. However, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all cookies or by modifying your web browser’s settings to notify you each time a cookie is submitted, allowing you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.

• Cookies: Small data files placed on your device to remember your preferences, login status, and for analytics.
• Web Beacons/Pixels: Tiny graphics used to track email opens and website activity.

6. Security of Your Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse. Any information disclosed online is vulnerable to interception and misuse by unauthorized parties. Therefore, we cannot guarantee complete security if you provide personal information.

7. Policy for Children

We do not knowingly solicit information from or market to children under the age of 13. If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under age 13, please contact us using the contact information provided below.

8. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features

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 Browse 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.

Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding your personal data. These may include:

• The right to rectify inaccurate personal data.
• The right to erasure ("right to be forgotten").
• The right to restrict processing.
• The right to data portability.
• The right to object to processing.
• Rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling.

Please Note: This section is a placeholder. Depending on your target audience and location, you will need to specify exact regulations (e.g., GDPR for EU, CCPA/CPRA for California, etc.) and detail the specific rights and how users can exercise them. It's highly recommended to consult with legal counsel to ensure compliance.
