CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Do-Not-Track (DNT) is a web browser setting that, when turned on, allows You to not have Your actions monitored online and stops all tracking activities. The DNT feature was first introduced in 2010 by the US Federal Trade Commission. By the end of 2011, it was adopted by most web browsers, but because it doesn’t carry any legal weight, it was never widely adopted.

Since no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized, We do not currently respond to them or any other mechanisms that could communicate Your choice to not be tracked online. If the online-tracking standard is adopted in the future, We will notify You about such a change in Our revised version of this Privacy Policy.

WILL WE UPDATE THIS PRIVACY POLICY?

We reserve the right to update and change this Privacy Policy and practices from time to time. The changed Policy will have an updated “revised” date that will be visible on top of this page. The updated version will be effective as soon as it is published on Our Website.

To keep Yourself updated, make sure to review this page periodically for any changes. If there are any terms in this Privacy Policy you do not agree with, please discontinue using Our Website immediately.

By continuing to use Our Website, You agree with all the terms stated in Our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.
