Personal Information We Collect
We may collect certain personal information (also referred to as “personal data” in some jurisdictions) from you when you use our Services. Personal information is any information that relates to you, identifies you personally, or could be used to identify you. We collect the following categories of personal information:
How We Collect Personal Information
We collect personal information in the following ways:
For more information, please see the “Tracking Technology” section below.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technology
We, and third parties on our behalf, use cookies, web beacons, navigational and location data, clear gifs, clickstream data, and other similar tracking technologies (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”) to collect personal information automatically as you interact with our Services to help us customize your experience and better manage content on our Services, including to: (a) analyze our web traffic using an analytics package; (b) identify whether you already visited our Sites; (c) store information about your preferences; and (d) to recognize when you return to our Sites. We may also use web beacons in emails and newsletters so that we know when such communications have been opened and to otherwise help us tailor our communications to you.
Cookies. When you visit our Services, we (or third-party data or ad networks we work with) may send one or more “cookies” to your computer or other devices. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers stored on your computer through your web browser and are used by most websites to help personalize your web experience. Some cookies may facilitate additional site features for enhanced performance and functionality such as remembering preferences, allowing social interactions, analyzing usage for site optimization, providing custom content, allowing third parties to provide social sharing tools, and serving images or videos from third-party websites. Some features on the Services will not function if you do not allow cookies. The following types of cookies may be used on our Services:
Managing Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept cookies. If you do not want us to deploy cookies in your browser, you may exercise your preference through our cookie preferences manager, which you can access by clicking on the cookie symbol in the bottom right hand corner of this screen, or by modifying your web browser setting to either (1) refuse some or all cookies or (2) notify you and ask for your permission when a website tries to set a cookie.
If you want to learn the correct way to modify your browser settings, please use the “Help,” “Tools” or “Edit” menu in your browser or review the instructions provided by the following browsers: Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari Desktop, Safari Mobile; and Android browser. If you choose to disable cookies in your browser, you can still use our Sites, although your ability to use some of the features may be affected.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics, which uses cookies and other similar tracking technologies to collect and analyze information about your use of our Sites and report on activities and trends. This service may also collect information regarding your use of other websites, apps and online resources. You consent to the processing of data by these analytics providers in the manner and for the purposes set out in this Policy. You can learn about Google’s practices by going to www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and opt out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Mobile App Advertising
When you use our mobile application, we or our third party marketing partners may use one or more of several different identifiers for your mobile device, including Apple Identifier For Advertising (IDFA) or Android Advertising ID (AAID), to target and deliver ads to you in our app or other apps. This means that your device identifier may be accessed by third-party ad networks and used to (a) help manage the number and types of ads you see; (b) track the source of installs related to ads seen in other apps; and (c) identify your interests and behavior and target advertising to you based on those interests and behavior.
iOS
Apple requires app developers to ask for permission before they can track your activity across apps or websites they do not own in order to target advertising to you, measure your actions due to advertising, or to share your information with data brokers. If you previously gave our mobile app permission to track, you can tell our app to stop tracking your activity. On iOS or iPadOS, go to Settings, tap on our app, then tap to turn off Allow Tracking. You can also reset your IDFA from your mobile device’s settings page, which will prevent continued use of existing behavioral data tied to your previous IDFA.
Android
If you have an Android device, and are running Android 12 or above, you can delete your AAID permanently by opening Settings, navigating to Privacy > Ads, tapping “Delete advertising ID,” then tapping it again on the next page to confirm. This will prevent any app on your phone from accessing it in the future. Please note that if you do so, you will still see advertisements, but they will not be tailored to your inferred interests.
You may also access industry-provided opt-out tools, although they are not tailored to our mobile applications. For instance, to opt-out of data collection by the Digital Advertising Alliance’s participating member companies for interest-based advertising across mobile applications, download the DAA’s App Choices mobile application opt-out offering at https://youradchoices.com/appchoices.
Website Interest-Based Advertising
Many advertising companies that collect information for interest-based advertising are members of the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), both of which maintain websites where people can opt out of interest-based advertising from their members. To opt out of website interest-based advertising provided by each organization’s respective participating companies, visit the DAA’s opt-out portal available at http://optout.aboutads.info/, or visit the NAI’s opt-out portal available at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1.
Do Not Track
Some Internet browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari, include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” or “DNT” signals. Since uniform standards for “DNT” signals have not been adopted, our Site does not currently process or respond to “DNT” signals.
Why We Collect Personal Information
We use your personal data only for specific and limited purposes. We will only use your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy or as disclosed to you prior to such processing taking place. We use your personal information for the following purposes:
How We Share Personal Information
We will not sell, share, or otherwise disclose your personal information for purposes unrelated to those identified in this Privacy Policy. We may share your personal information in the following ways:
Security
We have appropriate organizational, technical and administrative security measures to protect again the loss, misuse and alteration of personal information under our control, including encryption and anonymization. While we make reasonable efforts to ensure the integrity and security of our network and system, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure or is ever completely secure or error-free. Please recognize that protecting your Personal Information is also your responsibility. We ask you to be responsible for safeguarding your password, secret questions and answers and other authentication information you use to access our Services.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless we are otherwise required to retain it to: (a) comply with our own legal obligations; (b) resolve a dispute; or (c) enforce our legal agreements and policies. We may also aggregate or de-identify any personal information that we collect in connection with our Services, such that the information is no longer personally identifiable or attributable to you. We may retain and use such aggregated or de-identified information for our own legitimate business purposes without restriction. If we combine any non-personal information with personal information, the combined information will be treated by us as personal information as long as it is combined.
International Data Transfers
We may transfer your personal information to entities located outside your jurisdiction for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. In such cases, the recipient country’s laws may not provide equivalent levels of data protection as the law in your home country. We will protect your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy wherever it is processed and will take appropriate contractual or other steps to protect the relevant personal information in accordance with applicable laws.

Our Sites are not intended for people under the legal drinking age of 21. We do not seek or knowingly collect any personal information from or about individuals under the age of 21. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected personal information from an individual under the legal drinking age, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to delete such information from our database.
Third Party Links
Information collected by a third party is governed by its privacy policies, and we have no control over, and shall not be responsible for, the third party’s use of your personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of those websites and applications. Our Site may also contain links to social media platforms, and you may be given the choice of connecting to or engaging with one or more social media platforms from this Site. If you choose to do so, then depending upon your social media privacy settings, the personal information that you post, transmit, or otherwise make available on the social media platform may be viewed and/or used by third parties, and we will have no control over such viewing and use. We do not control, and are not responsible for, any use of your information by or through any of the social media platforms.
