Due to this, this Privacy Policy does not apply to social media features nor to a User’s interactions with those features, as a User’s interactions with those features are governed by the privacy policies and other such policies of the companies providing them.
In the context of an onward transfer, the Company has responsibility for the processing of personal information it receives under the Privacy Shield and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. The Company shall remain liable under the Privacy Shield Principles if its agent processes such personal information in a manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield Principles, unless the Company proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
Before transferring Personal Data to a third party acting as an agent (i.e., an Onward Transfer to an agent), the Company will obtain assurances from the identified agent that it will use such information only to assist the Company in providing services to it, and will provide the same level of protection as required by Privacy Shield Principles. The Company will provide a summary or a representative copy of the relevant privacy or confidentiality provisions of its contract with that agent to the U.S. Department of Commerce upon request.
In the event of an Onward Transfer to a new Controller, the Company will enter into a contract with the new Controller. The contract with the new Controller shall provide that (i) any Personal Data may only be processed for limited and specified purposes consistent with the consent provided by the individual (the User); (ii) that the recipient(s) (the new Controller) will provide the same level of protection to the Personal Data as is required by the Privacy Shield Principles; (iii) that the recipient (the new Controller) will notify the Company if it makes a determination that it can no longer meet this obligation; and (iv) if the new Controller makes such a determination as set forth in subpart (iii) above, the new Controller shall either cease Processing Personal Data or shall take other reasonable and appropriate steps for remediation.

A "Cookie" is a small file that is stored on the User's computer for record keeping purposes. The Company does not link this information to any personally identifiable information that may be submitted by the User on the Website.

The Company uses a third party provider that employs a software technology called "Clear Gifs" (also known as “web beacons” or “web bugs”), which are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to Cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users. In contrast to Cookies, which are stored on a web user's computer hard drive, Clear Gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages or in emails and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. The Company uses Clear Gifs in its HTML-based emails to let it know which emails have been opened by the recipients. This allows the Company to gauge the effectiveness of its marketing campaigns. The Company ties the information gathered by Clear Gifs in emails to its Users' Personal Information. If a User would like to opt-out of these emails, they should contact the Company directly by mail, telephone or email at the contact information provided below, or, at any time, a User may request to opt-out by clicking the 'unsubscribe' link located in the footer of all marketing communication.

The Company is committed to protecting the privacy of all Personal Data disclosed to it. The Company uses a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect each User’s personally identifiable information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
