However, even if you opt out of receiving such communications, we retain the right to send you certain other types of communications (such as information about your purchases or changes to our Privacy Policy or Terms of Use).
Interest Based Advertising
We strive to deliver you advertising for products and services you need or want. There are many ways to do this in the online advertising world. For example, we partner with websites and applications with whom you have shared your interests and concerns directly and ask that they serve our ads to users who have expressed an interest in our products or services. We may also partner with advertising companies that may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser (including through the use of pixel tags), or use other technologies, to serve you ads based on your web browsing activity, purchases, interests and/or other information- a practice commonly referred to as interest-based advertising ("IBA"). These advertising companies may also use these types of technologies to recognize you across the devices you use, such as a mobile phone or a laptop, and serve you ads on websites you visit and applications you use. You can read more about IBA at a site offered by the advertising industry's Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA"), aboutads.info.
International Data Transfers
We operate our information technology systems, including our websites, from the United States. Any information you provide to us may be stored and processed, transferred between and accessed from the United States (including our group companies and our external IT service providers), and other countries which may not guarantee the same level of protection of personal information as the one in which you reside. However, we will handle your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy regardless of where your personal information is stored/accessed. Where required by certain jurisdictions, we will transfer your information subject to jurisdiction-approved safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses.
Children
We are very concerned about protecting the privacy of children. We do not intend to collect any personal information from children under 13 years old or knowingly distribute such information. Children under 13 are not permitted to use the Services, and we request that children under 13 not submit any personal information. If you have reason to believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us, and we will endeavor to delete that information from our databases.

We are not responsible for, and cannot control, the privacy policies of such other websites. You should be aware that this Privacy Policy does not apply to your use of these sites.

Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information from accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use.
Despite these efforts, however, no organization can fully eliminate risks or guarantee the security of personal information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of information about you at any time, and we bear no liability for uses or disclosures of personal information or other data arising in connection with theft of the information or other malicious actions.
Content Submitted By You
Some features of the Services allow you to post content on our Services or social media pages, such as photos. Content that you provide may be shared publicly or with other users or third parties.
Data Retention
We retain personal data for as long as is necessary for the processing purpose(s) for which the data was collected, and any other permissible, related purpose. When we no longer need the personal information we collect, we either anonymize the information or securely destroy the information.
