For example, when you sign up for our mailing list or comment on a blog post, as part of the process, we collect personal information you give us such as your email address and/or name. In addition, Personal Data collected may also include digital tags, provided they can be used to specify an individual. These can potentially include things like database ID numbers, cookies, and IP addresses. Various other extended and demographic data we collect could be used to triangulate identification of an individual (such as location).

Why do You Collect Such Personal Information?

We collect such Non-personal and Personal Information for the following purposes:

  • To provide and operate the Services;

  • To provide our Users with ongoing customer assistance and technical support;

  • To be able to contact our Visitors and Users with general or personalized service-related notices and promotional messages;

  • To comply with any applicable laws and regulations.

How do you store, use, share, and disclose site visitors' personal information?

We use a number of Third-Party Data Processors to process personal data on our behalf. Personal data that we process for any purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for those purposes. This personal data will be retained for a minimum of one year, and retained until consent is withdrawn by you or until it is no longer required to administer our business, including trend reporting and analysis. We may retain your personal data indefinitely if retention is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or to protect the vital interests of you or another natural person. Listed below are the Third-Party Data Processors currently operating on this website.

 

Google Analytics

Like most websites, this website uses Google Analytics tracking to monitor user interaction. We may use this data to assess the number of people visiting our site and their engagement with our content to better understand their behavior and to ultimately provide a better user experience. For more information about how Google handles site visitors’ data, please review their Privacy Policy.

 

Wix

Our organization is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix.com provides us with the online platform that allows us provide our products and services to you. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases, and the general Wix.com applications. We may use data collected through Wix to assess the number of people visiting our site and their engagement with our content to better understand their behavior and to ultimately provide a better user experience. Wix stores your data on secure servers behind a firewall. For more information on how Wix handles site visitors’ data, please review sections 8, 12, and 13 of Wix's Privacy Policy. 

How do you communicate with your site visitors?

We may contact you to poll your opinions through surveys or questionnaires, to send updates about our organization or events, or as otherwise necessary to contact you to enforce our User Agreement, applicable national laws, and any agreement we may have with you. For these purposes we may contact you via email.

How do you use cookies and other tracking tools?

Google Analytics mainly uses first-party cookies to report on visitor (aka. user) interactions on Google Analytics customers’ websites. Users may disable cookies or delete any individual cookie. Learn more

​

In addition, Google Analytics supports an optional browser add-on that — once installed and enabled — disables measurement by Google Analytics for any site a user visits. Note that this add-on only disables Google Analytics measurement.

​

Where a site or app uses Google Analytics for Apps or the Google Analytics for Firebase SDKs, Google Analytics collects an app-instance identifier — a randomly generated number that identifies a unique installation of an App. Whenever a user resets their Advertising Identifier (Advertising ID on Android and ID for Advertisers on iOS), the app-instance identifier is also reset.

​

Where sites or apps have implemented Google Analytics with other Google Advertising products, like AdWords, additional advertising identifiers may be collected. Users can opt-out of this feature and manage their settings for this cookie using the Ads Settings.

​

Google Analytics also collects Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to provide and protect the security of the service and to give website owners a sense of which country, state, or city in the world their users come from (also known as "IP geolocation"). Google Analytics provides a method to mask IPs that are collected (detailed below) but note that website owners have access to their users’ IP addresses even if the website owners do not use Google Analytics.

Privacy Policy Updates

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time, so please review it frequently. Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon their posting on the website. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated, so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.
