Third-Party Services and Links

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites, plugins, and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

• Regular security assessments

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We will retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). For example, we typically retain order information for a minimum of seven years for tax and accounting purposes.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers feature Do Not Track (DNT) settings that allow you to send a signal to websites indicating you do not want to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret DNT signals, our Site currently does not respond to DNT browser signals or mechanisms.
