Cookies and Automatic Data Collection Technologies

As you navigate through and interact with My Website, I use automatic data collection technologies to collect Website activity data.

I use cookies, which are small text files that are stored in your web browser or downloaded to your device when you visit a web site.

I currently use the following types of cookies, which are set by this Website's domain, or by other domains I own or control:

Functionality, analytics, and advertising/targeting cookies can be switched off at any time by accessing the "Manage Cookies" option that is located at the footer of My Website. However, if you decline to accept these cookies, some functionality on My Website may be disabled and can interrupt your access to certain parts of My Website.

Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies. A session cookie expires automatically when you close your browser. A persistent cookie will remain until it expires, or you delete your cookies. Expiration dates are set in the cookies themselves; some may expire after a few minutes while others may expire after multiple years.

Do Not Track: My systems do not recognize browser "Do Not Track" signals.

Google Analytics: I use Google as a service provider to collect and analyze information about how Users use this Website, including, by collecting Website activity data through first-party cookies set by My domains, and third-party cookies set by Google. Because I activated IP anonymization for Google Analytics, Google will anonymize the last octet of a particular IP address and will not store your full IP address. Google will use the information only for the purpose of providing Google Analytics services to Me, and will not use this information for any other purposes. The information collected by Google Analytics may be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States pursuant to standard contractual clauses approved by the EU. You can learn more on how Google uses data here, and you can opt-out of Google Analytics by visiting the Google Analytics opt-out page or by accepting only necessary cookies.

Some content or applications, including advertisements, on My Website are provided or served by third parties. These third parties may use cookies alone or in conjunction with other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you click to view, access, or use any of the third-party features on My Website, or when you are directed to such third-party web sites. Unless expressly stated otherwise, I do not provide any personal information to these third parties. However, when you click on a third-party's Internet-based advertising, they may collect information, including your IP address, advertisements you click, time zone setting and location, and information about your browser, operating system, and devices you use to access My Website to provide targeted content.

You can set your browser to refuse all third-party cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent.

Your Choices About How I Collect, Use and Disclose Your Personal Information

I strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to Me.

Your Rights Related to Your Personal Information

Generally, in some regions like Canada, European Economic Area ("EEA"), and the United Kingdom, you have certain rights regarding the personal information I Process and that is related to you, including the right:

You may exercise your right to access and deletion using the links at the bottom of this page. Additionally, you may, at any time, reach out to Me using the information in the section titled "Your Comments and Concerns" below to exercise your above rights in accordance with the applicable legal requirements and limitations. If you are located in the European Economic Area or the UK, you have a right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Please note that unless you have created an account with Me, I may not have sufficient information to identify you and therefore may not be in a position to respond to your request. Additionally, in some cases in order to adequately verify your identity or your authorization to make the request, I may require you to provide additional information.

Note that some requests to delete certain personal information will require the deletion of your User account as the provision of User accounts are inextricably linked to the Processing of certain personal information (e.g., your e-mail address).

California Rights and Choices

The California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") provides you certain rights in relation to your personal information:

To exercise the rights described above, please use the links at the bottom of this page or reach out to Me using the information in the section titled "Your Comments and Concerns" below with "CCPA Request" as the subject. In either case you will need to provide the following information to verify your identity and enable Me to locate your information in My systems: your username and email address that you used to create an account with Me, as well as any other information which I may reasonably request in order for Me to verify your identity. I may require you verify that you have access to your account and/or email account that you used to register with Me.

You can designate an agent to make a request by executing a notarized power of attorney to have that person act on your behalf and providing that person with the information listed above that allows Me to verify your identity and locate your information. Alternatively, you will need to directly confirm your identity with Me using the methods described above, sign an authorization for the agent to act on your behalf, and provide Me with confirmation that you have done so.

I disclose certain categories of California residents' personal information for My business purposes, as described in the section titled "Disclosure of Your Personal Information" above.

Resident's Rights—Jurisdictions in the United States, Where Applicable

I do not sell, trade, or exchange any Registered Users' personal information with anyone for money.

Biometric Information

I employ third-party service providers to help verify your identity and age and to check background records and the authenticity of identification documents you provide using facial recognition technology. The facial recognition technology creates a mathematical representation of your face and detects facial features from the live scan of your face, your selfie, and the government-issued ID you submit or previously submitted to Me. This mathematical representation, which is considered biometric information/identifier/data under the laws of certain states and countries, is not shared by My service providers with Me, and is deleted by My service providers 7 days after its creation. Information derived from this mathematical representation, which may be considered biometric information/identifier/data under the laws of certain states and countries, is shared by My service providers with Me as further described below.

Your biometric information will be Processed to:

I may disclose your biometric information, face scan, selfie, and government-issued ID (including any government-issued ID or selfie you previously submitted to Me) with third-party service providers. These entities may be located in jurisdictions that do not offer the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction. I (and/or any of these entities) may perform facial recognition and Process your biometric information from your face scan, selfie, and any government-issued ID for the above purposes.

Biometric information shared by My service providers with Me will be stored for as long as you have an account. I will delete your biometric information within three (3) years of you deleting your account or withdrawing your consent, subject to any legal obligations I might have.

You will be asked to provide your consent to biometric Processing. You may withdraw your consent to this Processing at any time by using the links below. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any Processing or disclosure that occurred prior to the withdrawal.

Please note that this section titled "Biometric Information" applies to relevant Users who wish to upload content onto My Website but does not apply to identifiers Processed by My third-party age verification service providers solely for the purpose of granting you access to My Website in order to view the Content found thereon.

Notice to Law Enforcement

The following information serves as a guideline for law enforcement officials seeking disclosure of records. You may serve Me a valid court order, subpoena, search warrant or equivalent legal or official administrative document by respecting the following conditions:

I reserve the right to refuse online service through My Website, namely in cases where the above requirements are not met and require formal legal service at the above address. In such event, you will be notified. I may raise or waive any legal objection or right available, in My sole discretion.

Transfers of Your Personal Information to Other Countries

Where the laws of your country allow you to do so, by using this Website you consent to the transfer of information that I Process about you, including personal information, to other countries in which I or My service providers are located. When I transfer personal information to countries outside of the European Economic Area ("EEA") or other regions with comprehensive data protection laws, I will ensure that the information is transferred in accordance with the applicable laws. Where relevant, My transfers outside the EEA are made pursuant to standard contractual clauses approved for use by the European Union.

Retention of Personal Information

I will only retain your personal information for as long as your account is active, or for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes I Processed it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, I consider a number of factors, including what personal data I am Processing, the risk of harm from any unauthorized disclosure, why I am Processing your personal data and whether I can achieve this outcome by another means without having to Process it.

Where I no longer need to Process your personal information for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, I will delete your personal information from My systems.

Where permissible, I will also delete your personal information upon your request as explained in the section titled "Your Rights Related to Your Personal Information" above.

If you click on a link to a third-party site, you will be taken to web sites I do not control. This policy does not apply to the privacy practices of these web sites. Read the privacy policy of other web sites carefully. I am not responsible for these third-party practices.
