If you are in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), your personal information will be transferred and stored in the United States, which does not offer the same protection for your personal information as the country in which you are located. Where we transfer personal information out of the EEA and process such information within scope of EU data protection law, we implement appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information. Please contact us (our details are included at Section 13), if you would like further information on the specific safeguard used by us when transferring your personal information.

Our Website may be made available through third party social medial platforms. Your participation with the services- provided on social media platforms is voluntary. If you login to such services through an account you have with a third party social media platform, We may receive additional information from that other source such as your user name, stated location, date of birth, and interactions you have had on that third party social media platform. The personal information we may have access to would vary by social media platform and is controlled by privacy settings on that platform and your choices. Your use of services on third party social media platforms is governed by the privacy statement and other terms of use for that third party social media platform, until such information is shared with us, and then such information is also subject to this Privacy Statement.
