California Do-Not-Track Disclosures

We do not track our customers over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore we do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some third-party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, your browser allows you to set the DNT signal so that third parties know you do not want to be tracked. Third parties that have content embedded on our website such as a social feature may set cookies on a user’s browser and/or obtain information about the fact that a web browser visited our website from a certain IP address. Third parties cannot collect any other personally identifiable information from our website unless you provide it to them. It’s also important to note that we do not allow third party behavioral tracking.

California’s “Shine The Light” law permits California residents to annually request and obtain information free of charge about what personal information is disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. We do not distribute your personal information to outside parties for their direct marketing, except as provided for in this Privacy Policy, without your consent.
