Do not Sell my Information

Presently, there exists no universally accepted technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals. Consequently, our current practice involves non-response to DNT browser signals or any analogous mechanisms indicating a choice to avoid online tracking.

In the event that a standardized approach to online tracking is established, necessitating our adherence in the future, we commit to informing you of this practice through an updated version of this privacy notice. Additionally, users have the option to request their data or initiate data deletion through the "Do not sell my information" page.
