Your local privacy laws may grant you rights with respect to your personal information, and we will not knowingly discriminate against you because you have exercised any of your privacy rights. These rights may differ based on which local laws apply to you, but may include the rights to:
· Withdraw consent: You may have the right to withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal information, where we process your personal information based on your consent. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing based on your consent prior to its withdrawal; we will however cease consent-based processing upon withdrawal.
· Access/know. You may have the right to request a copy of the information we keep about you, and in certain circumstances to receive this in a portable format.
· Delete/erase. You may request that we delete the personal information we keep about you.

· Object/restrict. You may also have the right to object to or request that we restrict certain processing.
Please note that these rights are not absolutely guaranteed and there are several exceptions where we may not have an obligation to fulfill your request. We are only required to honor these rights to the extent we act as a controller of that data, and the requested rights have been granted and apply to you under applicable data protection laws. Please consult your local data protection laws to determine what rights may be available to you and when access to these rights is limited.
We may ask you to provide proof of identity before we can answer the above requests. Keep in mind, we may reject requests, including if we are unable to authenticate you, if the request is unlawful or invalid, or if it may infringe on trade secrets or intellectual property or the privacy or other rights of someone else. We may not be able to accommodate certain requests to object to or restrict the processing of personal information, notably where such requests would not allow us to provide our service to you anymore.

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do- Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected.
At this time, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. 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 statement.

We are not responsible for how these sites operate or treat your information. You acknowledge that we provide these links to you only as a convenience, and you understand if you decide to visit a third-party website or service, you are subject to its privacy practices and not this Privacy Notice.
We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy or statement and other legal notices of each website or service that you visit.
