We do not exercise control over third-party sites, services, or content, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of any such third parties. Once you leave our Services via a link or by clicking on an advertisement, it is important that you check the applicable privacy policy of the third party’s site or service. The fact that we link to a website or display a banner ad or other type of advertisement is not an endorsement, authorization, or representation of our affiliation with that third party, nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies or practices.

7. How Long Your Personal Information Will Be Kept

We retain your Personal Information for a period that is reasonably necessary in order that we can achieve the purposes for which the Personal Information was collected, including to provide you with the Services requested and to support our business purposes as described above in the section titled “What We Use Your Personal Information For.” As a result, different retention periods apply to different types of information.

Following the end of the relevant retention period, we will delete or anonymize your Personal Information. Personal Information may be kept for longer periods to the extent necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement to which we are subject, or in connection with any legal disputes or claims. Even if you request a deletion, we may be required to maintain your information for as long as necessary to comply with our legal or regulatory compliance needs (e.g., maintaining records of transactions you have made with us); to exercise, establish, or defend legal claims; and/or to protect against fraudulent or abusive activity on our Services.

Our Services are hosted primarily in the U.S. If you are accessing our Services from outside of the U.S., please be aware that Personal Information collected through our Services may be transferred to, stored in, or otherwise processed in the U.S. (or such other jurisdictions where we have engaged a third party to provide services). The laws of such jurisdictions may be different from those of your country of residence, and in some cases, may not be as protective.

In the event that we transfer your Personal Information, we take steps to ensure your Personal Information is safeguarded in compliance with applicable data protection laws. For Personal Information originating in the UK or the EEA, we may use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and, where applicable, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, to ensure that the recipient of such Personal Information adheres to the required safeguards. These measures are designed to provide a level of protection for your Personal Information that is equivalent to the standards in your home jurisdiction. If you require more information about our international data transfers and the applicable safeguards, please contact us using the details provided in the “How to contact us” section of this Privacy Policy.

This version aligns with the requirements for international data transfers under various data protection regulations, such as GDPR and UK GDPR, ensuring that appropriate safeguards are in place for cross-border data transfers.

9. Supplemental U.S. State-Specific Privacy Rights and Disclosures

This section applies only to Personal Information collected about consumers residing in the United States. Depending on the state in which you reside and the way in which you interact with us and our Services, you may be entitled to additional disclosures regarding the Personal Information we collect about you. You also may have certain rights regarding that Personal Information.

  • Other Electronic Network Activity Information — such as browsing history, search history, and information regarding interactions with our websites or our Services.

  • From our various affiliated entities.

Such disclosure of Personal Information may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of information under applicable state law. For example, under California law, a “sale” is the disclosure of Personal Information to a third party for monetary consideration or anything of value, and a “share” is the disclosure of Personal Information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising, whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration.

The categories of Personal Information that we disclose in this manner are as follows:

Some of our processing activities may constitute "targeted advertising" as that term is defined in applicable law.

  • The right to correct inaccurate Personal Information that we maintain about you, subject to certain exceptions.

You can contact us with your request through one of the contact methods described under the section titled "How to Contact Us". We may ask you to provide information that will enable us to verify your identity in order to comply with your request to exercise your privacy rights. Consumers in some states may also authorize an agent to make requests on their behalf. In particular, when a California consumer authorizes an agent to make a request on their behalf, we may require the agent to provide proof of signed permission from the consumer to submit the request, or we may require the consumer to verify their own identity to us or confirm with us that they provided the agent with permission to submit the request on their behalf.

You may have the right to appeal our decisions made with respect to your request. To appeal our decision on your request, you may contact us through one of the contact methods described under the section titled "How to Contact Us". Please enclose a copy of, or otherwise specifically reference, our decision on your request so that we may adequately address your appeal. We will respond to your appeal in accordance with applicable law.

However, please note that your use of our website may still be tracked by us and our vendors or partners to perform functions that are necessary for our businesses, such as hosting our website, ensuring there is no fraud (click-fraud, fraudulent or bot traffic), etc. These entities are contractually obligated to keep this information confidential and will not use it for any purpose other than for the services they provide to our businesses.

Key Improvements and Considerations:

  • Clarity and Formatting: I've used a clear, bullet-point format to present the different types of information and rights.
  • Specificity: I've included specific examples to make the information more concrete and understandable.
  • Emphasis on State-Specific Rights: The introduction emphasizes that these rights are dependent on the user's state of residence.
  • "Do Not Sell or Share" Link: I added a note about the importance of having a clearly visible "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link on the website if you are subject to laws like the CCPA.
  • Operational Considerations: I included a reminder that even with opt-out requests, necessary tracking for fraud prevention and website functionality may still occur.
  • Legal Review: Crucially, this section is heavily dependent on U.S. state laws, which are constantly evolving. Have a legal professional review this text to ensure it fully complies with the applicable laws where your users reside.

These measures include:

  • Organizational Measures: Including, but not limited to, staff training on data security and privacy, the development and implementation of internal data security policies, and limiting access to Personal Information to authorized personnel with a legitimate business need to know. All such personnel are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

  • Procedures for Breaches: The section on data breaches clarifies that there are procedures in place to handle such incidents.
  • Emphasis on "Knowingly": The language in the children's privacy section emphasizes that the site does not knowingly collect information from children, which is a common and important distinction.
  • Contact Information: The children's privacy section directs users to the "How to Contact Us" section if they believe information from a child has been collected.
  • Conciseness: Removed the somewhat repetitive language from the original sections while retaining the core information.

Important Considerations:

  • Legal Review: As always, have these sections reviewed by legal counsel to ensure compliance with all applicable laws, including those related to data security and children's privacy (e.g., COPPA in the U.S.).
  • "How to Contact Us": Make sure the "How to Contact Us" section is clearly defined elsewhere in your privacy policy.
  • Technical and Organizational Measures: Ensure that your actual technical and organizational measures align with what is described in the privacy policy. You must implement these measures in practice. This is not just a paper exercise.
