We need some of your Personal Information to make our Services work, and we need some to comply with laws and regulations.\u00a0 You\u2019re not legally required to provide all information described in this policy, but if you choose not to provide it we may not be able to provide you with some or all of our Services.\u00a0 Examples of information that affects our ability to provide Services are payment card information and geographic location.<\/p>\n

Interaction Information (e.g. content you use and how long you use it, ads you see and which you click on, downloads, search terms you use on our Services or any referral website, the website you go to after you leave our Services)<\/p>\n
One of the reasons we process Service Use Information is to measure how engaging our Services are, to show you things we think will interest you, and also to protect you by detecting and preventing fraud. We mainly collect this information in two ways:<\/p>\n
Cookies are small files stored on your device when you use our Services.\u00a0 These files help us to recognize you as the same person or device that used our Services in the past so that we can identify you and link your Personal Information together correctly.\u00a0 One of the great things about Cookies is that we can use them to make your experience better, for example by remembering your preferences and username so you can log in easily and stay logged in as you use different Services.<\/p>\n
You can set your browser to notify you when our Services place a cookie, so you can decide if you want to accept it or not. If you choose not to accept cookies it can prevent parts, or all, of our Services from working.<\/p>\n
Web beacons (also known as pixel tags, clear gifs and single-pixel gifs) are tiny images on our Services and in our emails to help us understand if our products, services, offers, and content are interesting and effective.\u00a0 Web beacons are used for a lot of things, for example:<\/p>\n
Telling us if you\u2019ve visited our site or opened an email we sent to you<\/p>\n
Telling us how many people have visited our website, or looked at particular content<\/p>\n
Letting us know of some technical problems with our Services that might be affecting your enjoyment<\/p>\n
Service Use Information helps us to understand how our Services are used, how well they are performing, and how we can improve them.\u00a0 Analytics is very complicated and we use other companies to help us with it, one of the companies we use is Google Analytics. Our use of Google Analytics meets all legal requirements including asking for your explicit consent when needed.<\/p>\n
Our Services don\u2019t recognize Do-Not-Track requests from web browsers and we don\u2019t ask our third parties to do so.<\/p>\n
One of the ways we communicate to you is with social media and some of those sites are run by other companies like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok and Snapchat. We are not responsible for how those companies process your personal information, they have their own privacy policies and we encourage you to read them.<\/p>\n
Some of our Services allow you to share Personal Information with us that you\u2019ve already given to a third-party social media site. For example, you can use your Facebook or Google account to create an account and log-in to some of our Services.\u00a0 We also have a feature where you can share and\/or publicly post content from our Services to third-party social media sites.<\/p>\n
We encourage you to read the third-party\u2019s privacy policy before using these features.<\/p>\n
In some locations we have a way for you to recommend us to your friends.\u00a0 If you use these tools we\u2019ll ask you for some contact information of the other person, for example their name and email address, and we\u2019ll manage that information as we describe in this Policy.<\/p>\n
We use the Personal Information we collect from and about you for the purposes below.\u00a0 We may also process your Personal Information for other reasons, but if that happens, we\u2019ll inform you and ask for any required consent.<\/p>\n
If you choose not to provide your Personal Information to us it may mean that we are unable to provide you with our products and services.<\/p>\n
