While we may provide you with the ability to use such services in connection with our Website, we are doing so merely as an accommodation and, like you, are relying upon those third party services to operate properly and fairly.

Please be aware that personal information which you voluntarily include and transmit online in a publicly accessible blog, forum, social network or otherwise online may be viewed and used by others. We are unable to control such uses of your personal information, and by using such services you assume the risk that the personal information provided by you may be viewed and used by third parties.

INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING
We may ourselves, or with third party vendors, use information we collect or vendor information to deliver targeted advertising to you when you visit other websites or digital properties, or our Website. Cookies, clickstream data, and other similar technologies described in this Privacy Policy may be used in this process. For example, if you are searching for information on a particular product, we or our vendor may cause an advertisement to appear on other websites you view with information on that product. This form of advertising, sometimes called “targeted advertising,” “behavioral advertising,” or “cross-context behavioral advertising,” enables us and our vendors to know your interests in connection with the delivery of that specific ad. We believe that such advertising is helpful because you will see advertisements that are relevant to your interests. However, if you would like to opt out of these interest-based advertisements, you may follow the opt-out process described below under Your Choices.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. We endeavor to protect your personal information by maintaining physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards.

We also recommend that you frequently change your password. When you are finished with a session on our Website, be sure that you log out and close the browser window so nobody can pick up where you left off.

However, no method of safeguarding information is completely secure. While we use measures designed to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will be effective or sufficient. In addition, you should be aware that Internet data transmission is not always secure, and we cannot warrant that information you transmit utilizing the Website is or will be secure.
