We do not track Site visitors over time or across third-party websites in order to deliver targeted advertising; hence, we do not respond to "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. However, some third-party websites do track your browser behavior in order to customize the material they offer to you. If you visit such websites, your browser allows you to set the Do Not Track (DNT) signal so that third parties (especially advertisers) are aware that you do not wish to be monitored. Consult the help pages of your browser to understand how to configure your options to prevent websites from tracking you.

You have the right to request that we disclose to you or delete certain information about our collection and use of your personal information. Once we receive your request and verify your identity, we will disclose such information to you or delete the same, unless a legal exception applies. For example, we may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our providers to complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you. Your request must:

1. 1. Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative of such person.
2. 2. Describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
