Marketing Preferences. You can opt out from receiving future marketing communications from us at any time by using the unsubscribe function in the email you receive from us, or contacting us as set forth under “How to Contact Us” above.  Please allow sufficient time for your preferences to be processed.  Even if you opt out of receiving marketing messages, we may still contact you for transactional purposes like confirming or following up on an order or service request, asking you to review a product or service you have ordered, or notifying you of product recalls.  If you later opt back into getting marketing communications from us, we will remove your information from our opt-out databases.

As noted above in “The Information We Collect About You,” you can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings on your browser or device. However, if you choose to disable cookies, your experience with our Services may be impaired and some features may not work as they were intended.

Additionally, Do Not Track is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked.  You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the preferences or settings page of your web browser.  However, these features are not yet uniform, so we do not currently respond to such features or signals.  Therefore, if you select or turn on a “do not track” feature in your web browser, we and our third-party providers may continue collecting information about your online activities as described in this Privacy Notice.

You have the choice to limit the data that you provide to third party services (e.g., social media platforms) and that is subsequently shared with us, where such data is collected through the options provided to you by the applicable third party service (for example, the options provided by a third party social media platform when you connect your social media account with our Services).  You can also disconnect your use of our Services from the third-party service at any time using the options provided to you by the applicable third-party service.  Please note, however, that if you disconnect from the third-party service, that will not delete the data we may have previously collected while you were connected.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to use our Services. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

6.HOW WE SAFEGUARD YOUR INFORMATION

The security of your data is important to us but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.  While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
