WHAT ARE COOKIES? WHY DO WE USE THEM?
Cookies are small data files stored by your browser in your computer when you visit our Site. We use cookies to make our Site easier to use and to improve Site performance.

HOW DO WE PROTECT USER INFORMATION?
We generally do not use secure pages to collect information and we generally do not store data in encrypted form.

HOW LONG DO WE RETAIN USER DATA?
Generally, we retain user data on our server or in our archives for as long as we reasonably need it. We may alter this practice according to legal and business requirements.

We may lengthen the retention period for other data if needed to comply with privacy standards or applicable law.
