We do not sell any information gathered in use of our Service.

Use of Cookies and Other Similar Technologies
Our Service uses cookies and other technologies like pixels. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. A pixel is a code element that triggers a cookie. These technologies are used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies and pixels to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. Since each browser may offer different settings, please refer to your browser’s Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, some features of the Service may be disabled.

Third-Party Companies
We use AddThis, a technology developed by Oracle, to compile aggregate information about user visits to our Service, and to enable users to share, view, print and recommend our Service and social media of Foreign Interest via a browser plugin feature. When a visitor wishes to share via the AddThis function, Oracle may also receive the data to provide for customized content and internet-based advertising.

Third-party Links
We may link to other content, such as websites, videos or social media content from other third-party sites which may set cookies. Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third-party products or services with our Service. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our Service and welcome any feedback about these sites. Such links are provided as a courtesy. If you use these links and leave our Service, we are not responsible for any content, materials or other information from other sites. Accessing any provided link is at your own risk.
We welcome links to our Service. You may establish a hypertext link to this Service as long as the link does not state or imply any sponsorship, service, endorsement, application or other rights to this Service. All links to this Service must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Tracking
“Do Not Track” is a a privacy preference you can set in your browser if you do not want online services to collect and share certain kinds of information about your online activity from third party tracking services. We do not track your online browsing activity on other online services over time and we do not permit third party services to track your activity on our site beyond our basic Google Analytics tracking, which you may opt out of by visiting Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Because we do not share this kind of data with third party services or permit this kind of third party data collection on our Service for any of our users, and we do not track our users on third-party websites ourselves, we do not need to respond differently to an individual browser's Do Not Track setting.

Date Portability
Our Service is based in the United States. We take all reasonable steps to ensure your data is treated securely in accordance with the E.U.-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use and retention of personal data from the members of the European Union countries.

Safety of Minors
Our Service is not intended for or marketed to minors. When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control.
