NON-U.S. VISITOR’S RIGHTS

The owner of the Website is based in the State of New Jersey in the United States. We provide this Website for use only by persons located in the United States. Non-U.S. persons visiting from other countries should be aware that, by visiting the Website, you are agreeing to be subject to U.S. privacy laws rather than the laws of your home country. If you access the Website from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative, consent to the transfer of your personal information to the United States, consent to the use of your personal information as in this privacy policy, and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

Non-U.S. persons shall have the same rights as U.S. persons as described in this privacy policy. Exercising those rights is free of charge. Should you have any issues or complaints, we hope you will contact us directly using the information provided in the “Contact Us” section below, although you may have the right to also contact the data protection supervisory authority where you reside if you wish to do so.

DATA SECURITY

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls and is encrypted through the Website using SSL technology.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

Even though we have taken significant steps to ensure that your information is not intercepted, accessed, used, or disclosed to or by unauthorized persons, you should know that we cannot completely eliminate security risks associated with your information, including personal information.

DATA RETENTION

We will only keep your information, including any personal information, for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, to comply with our legal obligations, or to enforce our legal rights (or as required so others may enforce their legal rights).

Generally, the length of time we keep your information will depend on the type of information and the purpose for which we are processing it. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we are processing it and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and any applicable legal requirements.

At the end of the appropriate retention period, we will either delete your information from our systems completely or anonymize it so it can be used without identifying you and so we no longer have the ability to re-associate the anonymized information with you in the future, such as by aggregating the information.

If you would like more information about our retention practices, please contact us using the contact information provided in the “Contact Us” section below.
