Certain Information and data may be automatically collected through the standard operation of our servers or through the use of first and third party cookies, non-cookie-based tokens, web server logs, tracking pixels, and web beacons, either by us or third party advertisers.
Cookies are small text files that websites send to your computer or other Internet-connected device to identify your browser uniquely or to store information or settings in your browser. These cookies are used to recognize repeat visitors, permit access to and use of the site, allow the site to track usage behavior and compile data that will allow content improvements, and for certain marketing and analytics purposes.
Your browser may tell you when you receive certain types of cookies and how to restrict or disable certain cookies.

The web server logs may also log information about your interaction with the Site, such as which pages you visit. To control which web servers collect information by automated means, we may place tags called “web beacons”―small files that link web pages to particular web servers and their cookies. We may also collect information from your browser, such as your browsing history, and use it in conjunction with data gathered from forms and e-mails to help us understand and respond to your needs.

Hotjar is a technology service that helps us better understand our users’ experience (e.g. how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users do and don’t like, etc.) and this enables us to build and maintain our service with user feedback. Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect data on our users’ behavior and their devices. This includes a device’s IP address (processed during your session and stored in a de-identified form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), and the preferred language used to display our website.

Consumer Rights.
California residents have the following rights with respect to the Personal Information we collect about them subject to certain limitations.
Right to Know About Personal Information Collected or Disclosed. We describe in this Policy our current practices as they relate to how we collect, use and disclose Personal Information. As a California resident, you have the right to request that we disclose additional information as it relates to our data collection activities during the preceding 12 months.

Upon receipt of a verifiable consumer request and as required by the CCPA, we will provide a response to your requests.

Right to Delete. You have the right to request that we delete Personal Information we collected or maintain about you, subject to certain exceptions. Upon receipt of a verifiable request, we will delete and direct any service providers, contractors and third parties to whom we disclosed your personal information, to delete your Personal Information.
We are not required to comply with deletion requests if we, or our service providers, contractors, or third parties need the subject information in order to:
- Complete the transaction for which the Personal Information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated by you within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between the Company and you.
- Help to ensure security and integrity to the extent the use of the consumer’s PI is reasonably necessary and proportionate for those purposes.
- Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.

- Comply with a legal obligation.
- Otherwise use your Personal Information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information.
Upon receipt of a verifiable consumer request and as required by the CCPA, we will provide a response to your requests.

With respect to Personal Information collected on and after January 1, 2022, and to the extent expressly required by applicable regulation, you may request that such disclosures cover a period beyond the 12 months referenced above, provided doing so would not require a disproportionate effort by us.
Right to Request Correction. You have the right, subject to certain limitations, to request that we correct any inaccurate Personal Information we maintain about you. Upon receipt of a verifiable consumer request, and as required by the CCPA, we will take appropriate steps to respond to your request.
Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of Privacy Rights. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA. This includes but is not limited to: (A) denying you goods or services; (B) charging you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties; (C) providing you with a different level or quality of goods or services; or (D) suggesting that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

Submitting Consumer Rights Requests
- the consumer who is the subject of the request,
- a consumer on behalf of the consumer’s minor child, or
- the authorized agent of the consumer.
To verify your identity, we may ask you to verify Personal Information we already have on file for you. If we cannot verify your identity from the information we have on file, we may request additional information which we will only use to verify your identity, and for security or fraud-prevention purposes. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. Additionally, you will need to describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to review, understand, assess, and respond.
Authorized Agents. You may authorize a natural person or a business (the Agent) to submit a Request to Know, Correct, Delete, Opt Out of the Sale/Sharing of Personal Information, or Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information on your behalf. The Agent must provide signed permission to submit the request, and you must either (i) verify your own identity with the business or (ii) directly confirm with us that you provide permission to the Agent.
