We do not sell personal information for money. We also do not knowingly share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under California law based on the Site's current business model.

Cookies, Analytics, and Do Not Track.

We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to support core Site functionality, remember preferences, understand Site usage, and improve performance. Our current use of these tools is primarily limited to site operation and analytics.

Managing Cookies: Most browsers allow you to control or disable cookies through their settings. However, disabling certain cookies may affect Site functionality. You may also use browser tools to clear cookies or to signal a preference not to be tracked.

Do Not Track (DNT): The Site does not currently respond to browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals because no uniform industry standard for DNT processing has been adopted. We will reassess this practice as standards evolve.

Third-Party Analytics: We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics or similar tools) that use cookies and similar technologies to collect usage data. These services operate under their own privacy policies.

Retention.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this notice, including to respond to inquiries, manage our business relationships, maintain business records, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, comply with legal obligations, and protect our rights. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the sensitivity of the information, our business need, and applicable legal requirements.

Data Security and Breach Notification.

Data Security: We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no website, system, or method of electronic transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Breach Notification: In the event of a data security incident involving personal information, we will comply with applicable data breach notification laws, including the New York SHIELD Act (NY Gen Bus Law § 899-bb) and any other state or federal requirements. Affected individuals and relevant authorities will be notified in accordance with legal timeframes and obligations.

Children.

The Site is directed to business users and is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us through the Site, please contact us so that we can review and delete the information as appropriate.

California and Other U.S. State Privacy Rights.

Depending on where you reside, you may have rights under applicable U.S. state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA), and other applicable state laws.

(g) the right to appeal a denial of your request where required by applicable law (Right to Appeal).

Right to Non-Discrimination: California residents have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising their CCPA/CPRA rights.

Do Not Sell or Share: Because the Site currently does not sell personal information or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, we do not maintain a separate "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link at this time. If our practices change, we will update this notice accordingly.
