Cookies and Tracking
Our websites are structured without any intention to track, gather, or distribute personal information. While visiting our sites, certain types of non-identifiable usage data may be generated, such as the count of hits and visits. These insights are solely used for internal purposes. Importantly, these statistics are entirely devoid of personal information and are incapable of being utilized to acquire such details.
Provider’s websites may employ “cookies” to enhance your customization of the online experience. A cookie constitutes a text file that a web page server places on your hard drive. Cookies do not have the capacity to execute programs or transmit viruses to your computer. These cookies are exclusively assigned to you and can solely be read by a web server within the domain that initially issued the cookie.
It’s within your prerogative to accept or reject cookies. Although most web browsers automatically accept cookies, you usually have the option to modify your browser settings to reject cookies if desired. It’s important to note that declining cookies might result in a limited engagement with the interactive features of Provider’s services or the websites you visit.
Data Security
We have implemented measures to protect the security of your personal information and to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration.
Provider takes extensive measures to ensure the utmost security of your personal information. We employ rigorous safeguards to prevent loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, and destruction of your data.
Your personal information remains confidential within the company, and it is not shared externally without your explicit consent, except as outlined in this document. Internally, we store data on password-protected servers with restricted access.
Additionally, you play a vital role in safeguarding your information. Your personal data remains invisible and unalterable to others unless they possess your username and password. We strongly advise against sharing these credentials.
To further enhance data security, we employ SSL encryption during the collection or transmission of sensitive data
Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as it serves a purpose; once its utility has expired, your data is promptly erased.
Upon your request, user accounts, email addresses on our mailing lists, and pertinent details (such as first name, last name, and email address) can be deleted. However, it’s important to acknowledge that such deletions could potentially influence the quality of future services received, your experience with our websites, products, and services, as well as your ability to effectively access or receive said offerings.
It’s vital to note that erasing personal information, as described above, does not release you from any pre-existing agreements or commitments with our websites, products, and services. This is particularly pertinent to arrangements like payment plans you may have entered into with us.
While you possess the right to contest profiling or automated decision-making that could impact you, opting for this course of action implies an understanding that your experience, use, or service might be affected. This decision also does not absolve you from any previous agreements or commitments with our websites, products, and services – such as any existing payment plans you may have undertaken with us.
