DO WE USE COOKIES?
Our website, in line with almost every other internet-based company, utilizes cookie technology to allow us to improve the functionality of the service and improve your user experience. Your browser or device may allow you to block or delete cookies from our site, however, this may interfere with the functionality of our Service. Cookies collect information automatically even when a user is not logged into their account. The information collected may include information about the platform and operating system you are using, your browser type and version, computer and connection information, and what time you accessed the site. This information will be collected any time you access the website unless you opt out.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third party cookies”).
Both websites and HTML emails may also contain other tracking technologies such as “web beacons” or “pixels.” These are typically small transparent images that provide us with statistics, for similar purposes as cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.
Which cookies do we use?
Anytime you visit and use our website, we (first-party) or a third-party places cookies in your browser. Certain cookies are specific to features or specific preferences, and certain cookies will be used all the time. We use four different types of cookies.
Essential Cookies. These are cookies are placed in your browser by our website and are also known as “strictly necessary” cookies. These are necessary to allow you to move around the site and use its features, such as “Save and View Favorites.”
Analytics Cookies. Also known as “performance cookies,” analytics cookies collect information about visits to our sites and how the services we offer are being used. We use this data to make improvements and report our performance. For example, these cookies collect information about how visitors use our sites, which site the visitor came from, the number of each user’s visits and how long a user stays on the site. We might also use analytics cookies to test new ads, pages, or features to see how users react to them. Analytics cookies are primarily third-party cookies.
Functionality Cookies. Sometimes called “preference cookies,” these first-party cookies allow us to remember information you have entered or choices you have made (such as your username, language, region, and marketing preferences) on our sites, so the next time you visit the site you will not have to set them again. These cookies also allow us to provide a better user experience on our website.
Targeting Cookies. Alongside our advertising partners or other third-party partners, we may use these types of cookies, also known as “advertising cookies,” to deliver advertising and track ad performance, and enable advertising networks to deliver ads that may be relevant to you based upon your activities (this is sometimes called “behavioral” or “targeted” advertising) on our sites.
How can you manage and delete cookies?
Almost all browsers use cookies to track your internet use automatically. However, these browsers also allow you to change the settings in your browser to manage your cookie settings to delete any previously sent cookies and to not accept new cookies. Again, please keep in mind that disabling cookies will negatively impact your user experience with our site. Please review your browser’s settings and preferences for more information on how to manage and delete cookies. Browsers on mobile devices may have different ways to manage cookie settings.
DO WE USE ANY OTHER USER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

Under the GDPR, we are considered a “controller” and a “co-processor” of the Personal Data of EEA Residents.

The transfer of your Personal Data to the United States is necessary for t/he performance of a contract between you and us for your use of the website or mobile application.
Please note that the United States does not have data protection laws equivalent to those in the EEA and other jurisdictions.
Rights of EEA Residents
This section of the Privacy Policy is applicable to residents of the EEA, which consists of the member states of the European Union. This section also applies to residents of Switzerland and residents of the United Kingdom. Residents of the EEA, UK and Switzerland are referred to here as “EEA Residents.”
All processing of Personal Data of EEA Residents is performed by us in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679) of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of natural persons regarding the processing of Personal Data and on the free movement of such data (“GDPR”).
Under the GDPR, we are both the controller and a co-processor of the Personal Data of EEA Residents. Our purpose for collecting and processing Personal Data from EEA Residents is to provide them with the features and functionalities of our website and mobile application and information regarding our services. The legal basis for collecting Personal Data is because it is necessary for performance of a contract between us to provide you with the website and mobile application and its related features and functionality. We also rely on your consent to receive information about our services. You may withdraw consent from receiving marketing and promotional communications by clicking the “Update Email Preferences” link on the communication.

SECURITY OF TRANSMISSION OF PERSONAL DATA AND RISKS RELATED TO THE INTERNET
Our website and mobile application have security measures in place to help protect against the loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction of the information under the company’s control. The website uses no encryption (data scrambling) on certain portions of the website but does use encryption on portions where you are transmitting financial information, such as credit card information. When you are on any website that asks you for confidential information, you should check to see if the information being transmitted is encrypted in order to increase the security of your information. Although every effort is made to ensure no one else will view, seize or obtain your information, complete confidentiality and security is not yet possible over the Internet. Any unencrypted email communication over the Internet is not secure or confidential, and is subject to possible interception, loss and alteration. The company, its agents, administrators, employees and affiliates may not be held liable for any damages you or anyone else may suffer or incur as a result of the transmission of confidential or sensitive information over the Internet, and all such communications will be made at your own risk.
We seek to use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect Personal Data under our control. For example, we seek to use Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) technology for all financial transactions conducted through the website or mobile application.
Unfortunately, no data storage system or data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please also be aware that we may use third-party cloud service providers that provide hosting, data storage and other services pursuant to standard terms and conditions that may be non-negotiable; these service providers have informed us or the general public that they apply security measures they consider adequate for the protection of information within their system, or they have a general reputation for applying such measures.
HOW ARE USERS NOTIFIED OF ANY CHANGES TO THIS POLICY?
We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will provide notice of any material changes made to our Privacy Policy by prominently posting the revised Policy with an updated date of revision on our homepage. We encourage users to check this page periodically for any changes. If we make any material changes that affect information we have previously collected about you, we will provide you with notice via email or within the Service.
