SECTION 10 - CALIFORNIA DO-NOT-TRACK DISCLOSURE

Privacy has been internationally recognized as a basic human right since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, France in 1948. Although we have little control over the way technology service providers choose to protect the privacy of Internet users, we still believe all humans should have choices about the ways their data and information is used online.

We encourage Internet users to take their privacy seriously and to make efforts to fully understand their digital rights and options for protecting personal data. For further insight into targeted advertising and ways to prevent the placing of cookies on your computer, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative's Consumer Opt-Out Link and/or the Digital Advertising Alliance's Consumer Opt-Out Link to opt out of certain cookie and tracking programs. To opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising, or to customize the Google Display Network ads you see, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page. We do not control the aforementioned opt-out platforms or links, we are not in control of or responsible for their reliability or availability, and we are not responsible for any decisions you make while using them.

Visitors to this website should be aware that because the technology industry is still developing privacy solutions, the technology and service providers that power this website might not currently recognize or respond to Do-Not-Track signals.

SECTION 11 - SECURITY

No method of electronic transmission or storage via the Internet is ever 100% secure. However, we take reasonable precautions and follow best practices in an effort to protect your personal information and make sure it is not inappropriately accessed, lost, disclosed, misused, altered, or destroyed.
