What About Cookies?
Like many websites, we use “cookies”. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your device to enable our systems to recognize your device and to provide some features. These data files may be cookies, pixel tags, e-tags, “Flash cookies”, or other local storage provided by your browser or associated applications (“cookies”).
Cookies allow your browsing choices to be remembered and make you recognized when you return to a website. We also use cookies to ensure that our Site works properly, to provide customized services, to target advertising displayed to the user, for statistical and research purposes and to improve our Services.
You may change your web browser’s settings to stop accepting cookies, to enable your browser to notify you when you receive new cookies, or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from a website you visit. You can find the Help feature on most browsers that will tell you how to do it.
Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-ons settings or visiting the website of its manufacturer.

How Do We Protect Personal Data?
The protection of the Personal Data and your privacy is important to us. We do not disclose the Personal Data to any third parties except for our service providers engaged by us to perform some functions on our behalf, including, but not limited to, data entry, database management, promotions, products and services alerts, membership authentication and verifications services, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links, and providing customer service (the “Service Providers”).
These Service Providers are under a duty of confidentiality to us and are only permitted to use the Personal Data in connection with their functions and not for their own purposes (including direct marketing).
We may disclose the Personal Data to a third-party in order to protect, establish, or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims, or when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with the law, prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, threats to our property, or violations of the Terms.
The user understands that the Personal Data is available and accessible by our employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide Services to you or in order to do their jobs.
We can only speak for ourselves; this Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own or control, or individuals that we do not employ or manage.
What About Security of Your Personal Data?
The security of Personal Data is vital to us. We use certain technologies to secure sensitive information. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect your Personal Data, both during transmission and once we receive it.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is completely secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Confidentiality
The user account is protected by a password. The user shall be responsible for security of its account. Thus, for security reasons you shall keep your account and password confidential at all times.
The user shall be responsible for any activities that happen on or through the user’s account. Any actions in or with the Site performed through the user’s account shall be considered done by the user.
That is why you have to take reasonable and necessary actions to protect your account, password and limiting access to your computer and other devices.
The user shall promptly inform us of any instances of unauthorized (not allowed by the user) access to your account and/or any breach (alleged breach) of confidentiality. For security reasons, you shall securely log out after you have finished accessing your account.
What Personal Data Can You Edit?
Under the applicable law, the user may have the right to access to the user’s Personal Data held by us and to request some user’s Personal Data to be corrected, edited and removed. Please inform us of any changes in your Personal Data so that we can update information about you.
