ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES

How We Respond to “Do Not Track” Signals

Some web browsers may transmit “do not track” signals to online services you visit. California Business and Professions Code Section 22575(b) (as amended effective January 1, 2014) provides that California residents are entitled to know how we respond to “do not track” browser settings. Because there currently is no industry standard concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals, we currently do not take action in response to these signals. For more information on “do not track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

We reserve the right to make material changes to the substance of this Privacy Policy at any time in our discretion. Changes will be effective upon posting, so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and to whom we will disclose it. Please check here each time you review our website for any changes.
