Third-Party Websites and Applications

​

The Website may contain links to third-party websites and applications of interest, including advertisements and external services, that are not affiliated with us. We do not review or endorse such third parties or their privacy practices.  Once you have used these links to leave the Website, any information you provide to these third parties is not covered by this privacy policy, and we cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of your information.

As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy policy.
