 KEY ELEMENT SUMMARY 

​

 his “Key Element Summary” provides you with key points from our Privacy Policy, as amended from time to time, but you can find out more details about any of these topics below. 

​

 What personal information do we process? When you visit, use, or navigate our Services, we may process personal information depending on how you interact with us and the Services, the choices you make, and the products and features you use. 

​

 Do we process any sensitive personal information? We do not process sensitive personal information.

 

Do we collect any information from third parties? We do not collect any information from third parties. 

​

 How do we process your information? We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law. We may also process your information for other purposes with your consent. We process your information only when we have a valid legal reason to do so. 

​

In what situations and with which parties do we share personal information? We may share information in specific situations and with specific third parties. 

​

How do we keep your information safe? We have organizational and technical processes and procedures in place to protect your personal information. However, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. 

​

What are your rights? Depending on where you are located geographically, the applicable privacy law may mean you have certain rights regarding your personal information. 

​

Your Rights 

You have rights under certain US state data protection laws. However, these rights are not absolute, and in certain cases, we may decline your request as permitted by law. These rights include: 

  • Right to know whether or not we are processing your personal data 

  • Right to access your personal data 

  • Right to correct inaccuracies in your personal data 

  • Right to request the deletion of your personal data 

  • Right to obtain a copy of the personal data you previously shared with us 

  • Right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights 

  • Right to opt out of the processing of your personal data if it is used for targeted advertising (or sharing as defined under California’s privacy law), the sale of personal data, or profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects (“profiling”) 

 

Depending upon the state where you live, you may also have the following rights: 

  • Right to obtain a list of the categories of third parties to which we have disclosed personal data (as permitted by applicable law, including California’s and Delaware’s privacy law) 

  • Right to obtain a list of specific third parties to which we have disclosed personal data (as permitted by applicable law, including Oregon’s privacy law) 

  • Right to limit use and disclosure of sensitive personal data (as permitted by applicable law, including California’s privacy law) 

  • Right to opt out of the collection of sensitive data and personal data collected through the operation of a voice or facial recognition feature (as permitted by applicable law, including Florida’s privacy law) 

 

How do you exercise your rights? The easiest way to exercise your rights is by submitting a data subject access request, or by contacting us directly. We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Under certain US state data protection laws, you can designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. We may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been validly authorized to act on your behalf in accordance with applicable laws. 

​

Request Verification. Upon receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to determine you are the same person about whom we have the information in our system. We will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. However, if we cannot verify your identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request that you provide additional information for the purposes of verifying your identity and for security or fraud-prevention purposes. If you submit the request through an authorized agent, we may need to collect additional information to verify your identity before processing your request and the agent will need to provide a written and signed permission from you to submit such request on your behalf. 

​

Appeals. Under certain US state data protection laws, if we decline to take action regarding your request, you may appeal our decision by emailing us. We will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written explanation of the reasons for the decisions. If your appeal is denied, you may submit a complaint to your state attorney general. 

​

Minors and Children’s Privacy. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under the age of 18. If we learn that Personal Data of persons younger than 18 years-of-age has been collected through the Services, we will take the appropriate steps to delete this information. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child or a minor under the age of 13 has posted, submitted or otherwise communicated Personal Data to us without your consent, then you may alert us directly so that we may take appropriate action to remove the minor’s Personal Data from our systems. 

​

What personal information is collected through this website and how is it used?

Nevada Residents who wish to exercise this sale opt-out rights may contact us as set forth in “Contact Us” below.
