Clear GIFs

We use "clear GIFs" or Web Beacons to understand how people use our website without knowing who they are. These are like digital breadcrumbs that help us see patterns in how our users navigate online. In emails, we use them to know if you opened them. This data helps us improve our website, making it better for everyone. We also see where our users are from, but don't know who they are personally. It's all about making your experience on our site the best it can be!

Connections to Other Websites

Our website(s) may have links to other websites. But we don't control their privacy policies. When you leave our site and go to another one, the privacy policy of that site applies to any information you share. It's a good idea to check their privacy policy for more information.

Data Erasure

We keep your personal information for as long as we need it to provide our services to you. If you want us to delete your information and close your account, just let us know. You can do this by contacting our Grievance Officers either in writing or through email with your electronic signature. Keep in mind, if you have more than one account with us, you'll need to request deletion separately for each one.

Data derived from external sources

We might get information about you from other places and add it to what we already have. If you give information to our platform provider or another partner we work with, they might share it with us. We'll handle all this information according to our policy.

Demographic and other information

To tailor our communications and promotions better, we sometimes refer to additional sources of information, like Google Analytics, to understand how you interact with our sites. Google Analytics helps us analyze user behavior, including demographics and interests, but rest assured, these reports don't link back to any personal information you've shared with us. If you prefer not to be part of this analysis, you can opt-out of Google Analytics for display advertising through your Google Ads Settings.

We also use other tools like Chartbeat and comScore analytics to track how our content performs and measure our marketing efforts. These tools only use anonymous data and don't collect any personal information, ensuring your privacy remains intact.

Hyperlinks to external websites or ad servers

Embark on a digital journey with us, but be aware of the branching paths as our sites may lead you to other realms governed by their own privacy policies—beyond our digital dominion. Once you venture beyond our servers, the rules change, guided by the privacy policies of the new territory you explore. Check the URL bar in your browser to see where you are, and remember: the privacy policy there might dance to a different beat than ours. If you find yourself lost in the maze of privacy policies, reach out to the application owners for guidance.

As we open the curtain to our audience's preferences for our advertisers, it's not a one-on-one revelation. Think of it more like a grand performance, where we showcase aggregated statistics on traffic without revealing personal details. Our third-party advertising companions may follow your digital footsteps across websites, tailoring ads based on your interests—rest assured, without diving into the pool of your personal identifiers.

No need to worry, though; we guard your personally identifiable information like a treasure chest, never handing over the key to third-party websites or advertisers without your explicit nod. Your digital voyage with us remains private and secure.
