Information I Collect Automatically.
I may use a variety of technologies to collect certain
information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns whenever you
interact with the Services, including:
Activity Information. Details of your visits to my Services,
including the types of content you view or engage with; the features you use;

Equipment Information. Information about your computer and
internet connection, including your computer operating system, IP address,

using to help me understand how the Services and functionality are being used
and to deliver more relevant advertising.
The gathering of this information may be used for
maintaining the quality of the Services I provide, as well as providing overall
general statistics related to the use of the Services. The technologies I use
for this automatic data collection may include:
Cookies. A cookie is a small data file stored on the hard
drive of your computer either for only the duration of your visit on a website
(“session cookies”) or for a fixed period (“persistent cookies”). Cookies
contain information that can later be read by a web server. I may use cookies
to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on the Services.
Web Beacons. Web beacons (also known as “clear gifs”, “pixel
tags”, “web bugs”, and “single-pixel gifs”) are small files that are embedded
in webpages, applications, and emails. Web beacons allow the Company, for
example, to track who has visited those webpages or opened an email, test the
effectiveness of my marketing, and compile other related website statistics.
JavaScripts. JavaScripts are code snippets embedded in
websites and applications that facilitate a variety of operations including
accelerating the refresh speed of certain functionality or monitoring usage of
various online components.
Entity Tags. Entity Tags are HTTP code mechanisms that allow
portions of websites to be stored or “cached” within your browser and validates
these caches when the website is opened, accelerating website performance since
the web server does not need to send a full response if the content has not
changed.
HTML5 Local Storage. HTML5 local storage allows data from
websites to be stored or “cached” within your browser to store and retrieve
data in HTML5 pages when the website is revisited.
Resettable Device Identifiers. Resettable device identifiers
(also known as “advertising identifiers”) are similar to cookies and are found
on many mobile devices and tablets (e.g., the “Identifier for Advertisers” or
“IDFA” on Apple iOS devices and the “Google Advertising ID” on Android
devices), and certain streaming media devices. Like cookies, resettable device
identifiers are used to make online advertising more relevant.
This Policy does not cover the use of tracking technologies
by third parties. The Services may contain links, content, advertising, or
references to other websites by third parties, including advertisers, ad
networks and servers, content providers, and application providers. These third
parties may use cookies or other tracking technologies to collect information
about you when you use the Services. The information they collect may be
associated with your personal information or they may collect information about
your online activities over time and across different websites. Please be aware
that I do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or when and
how they may be used. Therefore, the Company does not claim nor accept
responsibility for any privacy policies, practices, or procedures of any third
party. I encourage you to read the privacy statements and terms and conditions
of linked or referenced websites you enter. If you have any questions about an
ad or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider
directly.
Demographic Information.
I may collect demographic, statistical, or other aggregate
information that is about you, but individually does not identify you. Some of
this information may be derived from personal information, but it is not
personal information and cannot be tied back to you. Examples of such aggregate
information include gender, age, race, household income, and political
affiliation.
Information from Other Sources.
I may receive information about you from other sources and
add it to my account information. I protect this information according to the
practices described in this Policy, plus any additional restrictions imposed by
the source of the data. These sources may include online and offline data
providers, from which I obtain demographic, interest-based, and online
advertising related data; publicly-available sources such as open government
databases or social networks; and service providers who provide me with
information, or updates to that information, based on their relationship with
you. By gathering additional information about you, I can correct inaccurate
information, enhance the security of your transactions, and give you product or
service recommendations and special offers that are more likely to interest
you.

written contract that meets the requirements set by the CPRA (CCPA amendment),
does not constitute a sale or sharing of your personal information.
Your right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your
personal information and how you can exercise it. I sell or share your personal
information with the third parties listed in detail in the section titled
“Detailed information on the processing of Personal Data” within this document.
These third parties are grouped and categorized in accordance with the different
purposes of processing. You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of
your personal information. This means that whenever you request me to stop
selling or sharing your personal information, I will abide by your request.
Such requests can be made freely, at any time, without submitting any
verifiable request. To fully exercise your right to opt out, you can contact me
at any time using the contact details provided in this document. For a
simplified opt-out method you can also use the privacy choices link provided on
Website. If you want to submit requests to opt out of the sale or sharing of
personal information via a user-enabled global privacy control, like the Global
Privacy Control (“GPC”), you are free to do so and I will abide by such
request. The GPC consists of a setting or extension in the browser or mobile
device and acts as a mechanism that websites can use to indicate they support
the GPC signal. If you want to use GPC, you can download and enable it via a participating
browser or browser extension. More information about downloading GPC is
available here. I use any personal information collected from you in connection
with the submission of your opt-out request solely for the purposes of
complying with the opt-out request. Once you have opted out, I are required to
wait at least 12 months before asking whether you have changed your mind.
Your privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy
Act and how to exercise them
The right to access personal information: the right to know
and to portability. You have the right to request that I disclose to you:
the categories of personal information that I collect about
you;
the sources from which the personal information is
collected;
the purposes for which I use your information;
to whom I disclose such information;
the specific pieces of personal information I have collected
about you.
You also have the right to know what personal information is
sold or shared and to whom. In particular, you have the right to request two
separate lists from me where I disclose:
the categories of personal information that I sold or shared
about you and the categories of third parties to whom the personal information
was sold or shared;
the categories of personal information that I disclosed
about you for a business purpose and the categories of persons to whom it was
disclosed for a business purpose.
The disclosure described above will be limited to the
personal information collected or used over the past 12 months. If I deliver my
response electronically, the information enclosed will be "portable",
i.e. delivered in an easily usable format to enable you to transmit the
information to another entity without hindrance – provided that this is
technically feasible.
The right to request the deletion of your personal
informationYou have the right to request that I delete any of your personal
information, subject to exceptions set forth by the law (such as, including but
not limited to, where the information is used to identify and repair errors on
Website, to detect security incidents and protect against fraudulent or illegal
activities, to exercise certain rights etc.).
If no legal exception applies, as a result of exercising
your right, I will delete your personal information and notify any of my
service providers and all third parties to whom I have sold or shared the
personal information to do so – provided that this is technically feasible and
doesn’t involve disproportionate effort.
The right to correct inaccurate personal information You
have the right to request that I correct any inaccurate personal information I
maintain about you, taking into account the nature of the personal information
and the purposes of the processing of the personal information.
The right to opt out of sale or sharing of personal
information and to limit the use of your sensitive personal information You
have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.
You also have the right to request that I limit my use or disclosure of your
sensitive personal information.
The right of no retaliation following opt-out or exercise of
other rights (the right to non-discrimination) I will not discriminate against
you for exercising your rights under the CPRA (CCPA amendment). This means that
I will not discriminate against you, including, but not limited to, by denying
goods or services, charging you a different price, or providing a different
level or quality of goods or services just because you exercised your consumer
privacy rights.
However, if you refuse to provide your personal information
to me or ask me to delete or stop selling your personal information, and that
personal information or sale is necessary for me to provide you with goods or
services, I may not be able to complete that transaction.
To the extent permitted by the law, I may offer you
promotions, discounts, and other deals in exchange for collecting, keeping, or
selling your personal information, provided that the financial incentive
offered is reasonably related to the value of your personal information.
How to exercise your rights To exercise the rights described
above, you need to submit your verifiable request to me by contacting me via
the details provided in this document.For me to respond to your request, it’s
necessary that I know who you are. Therefore, you can only exercise the above
rights by making a verifiable request which must:
provide sufficient information that allows me to reasonably
verify you are the person about whom I collected personal information or an
authorized representative;
describe your request with sufficient detail that allows me
to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
I will not respond to any request if I are unable to verify
your identity and therefore confirm the personal information in my possession
actually relates to you.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to
create an account with me. I will use any personal information collected from
you in connection with the verification of your request solely for the purposes
of verification and shall not further disclose the personal information, retain
it longer than necessary for purposes of verification, or use it for unrelated
purposes.
If you cannot personally submit a verifiable request, you
can authorize a person registered with the California Secretary of State to act
on your behalf.
If you are an adult, you can make a verifiable request on
behalf of a minor under your parental authority.
You can submit a maximum number of 2 requests over a period
of 12 months.
How and when I are expected to handle your request I will
confirm receipt of your verifiable request within 10 days and provide
information about how I will process your request.
I will respond to your request within 45 days of its
receipt. Should I need more time, I will explain to you the reasons why, and
how much more time I need. In this regard, please note that I may take up to 90
days to fulfill your request.
My disclosure(s) will cover the preceding 12-month period.
Only with regard to personal information collected on or after January 1, 2022,
you have the right to request that I disclose information beyond the 12-month
period, and I will provide them to you unless doing so proves impossible or
would involve a disproportionate effort.
Should I deny your request, I will explain you the reasons
behind my denial.
I do not charge a fee to process or respond to your
verifiable request unless such request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. In
such cases, I may charge a reasonable fee, or refuse to act on the request. In
either case, I will communicate my choices and explain the reasons behind it.

confidential. I ask you not to share your password with anyone.
