This Policy does not describe the practices of any other party that may have access to your personal information. To the extent that we provide your personal information to our agents or service providers, we take what we believe to be commercially reasonable steps to ensure that they safeguard the confidentiality of such information and use it only for the intended purposes.
However, we are not responsible for the practices employed by any third party website that we may link to, nor for the information or content contained therein. We encourage you to review the privacy statements of such other websites to understand their information practices and terms of service before you submit any personal information to these websites.

However, we will only collect your personal information in this way if it is unreasonable or impractical to collect this information directly from you or if we are otherwise permitted to do so.

Click Stream Data
When you visit and browse our website, our website host may collect information for statistical, reporting and maintenance purposes. Subject to the “Use and Disclosure” section above, the information collected by our website host is used to administer and improve the performance of our website and will not be used to identify you. The information may include:
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are transferred to a user’s computer hard drive by a website for the purpose of storing information about a user’s identity, browser type or website visiting patterns. Cookies may be used on our website to monitor web traffic, for example the time of visit, pages visited and some system information about the type of computer being used. We use this information to enhance the content and services offered on our website. Cookies are sometimes also used to collect information about what pages you visit and the type of software you are using. If you access our website or click-through an email we send you, a cookie may be downloaded onto your computer’s hard drive.
Cookies may also be used for other purposes on our website but in each case none of the information collected can be used to personally identify you. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is sent. Each browser is different, so check the “Help” menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences. If you disable the use of cookies on your web browser or remove or reject specific cookies from our website or linked sites then you may not be able to gain access to all of the content and facilities in those websites. Strictly necessary cookies: These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website. Analytical/performance cookies: They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
Functionality cookies: These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region). Targeting cookies: These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose. You may be able to “opt-out,” disable or restrict some cookies or similar information gathering tools, such as through your web or other browser settings or through third party mechanisms (e.g., some industry trade associations offer some opt-out mechanisms).
However, not all cookies or other tools are so controlled and not all “opt-out” or similar mechanisms work on all browsers or access devices. Even effective opt-out opportunities can become ineffective over time or as technologies or browsers change. The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) is an industry body that develops standards and guidelines to support online business processes. It has produced a website (www.allaboutcookies.org) which explains how cookies work and how they can be managed. You can also review your browser or access device settings. Although such information should be helpful, we do not control or guarantee its accuracy or that it will be effective with respect to all information gathering tools or in all circumstances. If you choose to refuse cookies or other similar tools from our websites, some functionalities or features of those websites might not work properly, may be slower, or may be unavailable.
Web Beacons
Web beacons are images that originate from a third party site to track visitor activities. We use web beacons to track the visiting patterns of individuals accessing our website. California Disclosure. CA Bus. & Prof. Code § 22575 requires us to disclose how our Site responds to Web browser “do not track” signals and/or other mechanisms that seek to provide consumers with the ability to control the collection of their personal information through online tracking technologies for certain purposes, such as targeted or behavioral advertising. Please note that if your browser or similar mechanism gives one of our websites a “do not track” signal, the website will make commercially reasonable attempts to honor your settings, to the extent required by applicable law.
However, we do not make any promises or guarantees about the effects of any “do not track” choice that you may make because: (a) such treatment is not necessarily available or effective for any or all browsers, mechanisms or tracking technologies, and our commercially reasonable attempts to honour your settings might or might not be effective to preclude tracking or behavioural advertising; (b) third parties may not honour your settings or our policies and/or may use cookies or other tracking technologies for behavioural advertising despite our commercially reasonable attempts to prevent them from doing so; and (c) tracking technologies, browsers, and access devices may change from time to time and our commercially reasonable attempts might or might not be effective for each technology or across all platforms.
The accuracy and quality of personal information is governed by the accuracy and quality of the information supplied by our clients.
You are entitled to request access to personal information we hold about you. We will permit access in accordance with applicable privacy laws and your access rights can be exercised by writing to the Privacy Officer listed in the Contact Us section. We will respond to your request within a reasonable period after the request is made or within any other prescribed statutory timeframe. However, we reserve the right to deny your request for any appropriate reason, subject to applicable law.
For example, some laws may allow us to deny a request to access personal information where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy, or where such access would compromise the rights of other persons. We may also in certain circumstances be entitled to charge a fee for providing access. In the United Kingdom, for example, requests may be subject to a statutory fee of £10 to meet our costs in providing you with details of any personal information we hold about you.
Any personal information which we are satisfied is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading will be noted and we will respond to your request to correct within a reasonable period after the request is made. You can make a request to correct your data by contacting us using the details in the Contact Us section. However, we reserve the right to deny your request for any appropriate reason, subject to applicable law.
