6. Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information
We offer you choices on how you can opt out of our use of tracking technology, disclosure of your Personal
Data for our advertising to you, and other targeted advertising.
We do not control the collection and use of your information collected by third parties described above in Disclosure of Your Information. When possible, these organizations are under
contractual obligations to use this data only for providing the services to us and to maintain this
information strictly confidential. These third parties may, however, aggregate the information they collect
with information from their other customers for their own purposes.
In addition, we strive to provide you with choices regarding the Personal Data you provide to us. We have
created mechanisms to provide you with control over your Personal Data:
- Tracking Technologies and Advertising. You can set your browser to refuse all or some
cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, if you choose to refuse cookies you may

7. Accessing and Correcting Your Information
You may access and update your Personal Data at any time by contacting us.
You may notify us through the Contact Information below of any changes or errors in any Personal Data we have
about you to ensure that it is complete, accurate, and as current as possible. We may not be able to
accommodate your request if we believe it would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the
information to be incorrect.
8. Do Not Track Signals
We may use automated data collection technologies to track you across websites. We currently do not honor
do-not-track signals that may be sent by some browsers.
We also may use automated data collection technologies to collect information about your online activities
over time and across third-party websites or other online services (behavioral tracking). Some web browsers
permit you to broadcast a signal to websites and online services indicating a preference that they "do not
track" your online activities. Because there is no standard for these signals at this time, we currently do
not honor such signals and we do not modify what information we collect or how we use that information based
upon whether such a signal is broadcast or received by us.
9. Data Security
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we take
security measures to protect your Personal Data, including providing training and communications programs
designed to educate employees about the meaning and requirements of our data security and confidentiality
measures, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Data transmitted to our Website or by telephone
to our representatives. Any transmission of Personal Data is at your own risk. We are not responsible for
circumvention of any security measures contained on the Website.

periodically visiting our Website and reviewing this Privacy Notice to check for any changes.
