Use of authorized agents.

You may designate an authorized agent to act on Your behalf to exercise Your privacy rights under applicable U.S. state laws. Authorized agent is a natural person or entity legally empowered by You to submit requests, including requests to know, delete, or opt out of Personal information sharing, on Your behalf. 

To protect Your privacy and ensure the validity of requests, the authorized agent must submit: a power of attorney valid under the applicable laws from the User or his / her authorized agent; or sufficient evidence to show that the Visitor has: provided the authorized agent signed permission to act on his / her behalf; verified the User’s own identity directly with Us pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Privacy Policy; and directly confirmed with Us that the User provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request on his / her behalf.

We reserve the right to verify both Your identity and the authorized agent’s identity, which may involve requesting additional information or Your direct confirmation of the request.

Authorized agents must submit requests via email to [email protected].

For requests on behalf of multiple Users, separate documentation for each individual is required to meet verification standards.

The Company may deny requests from authorized agents that: (i) lack sufficient proof of authorization (e.g., missing signed permission or power of attorney); (ii) fail to comply with the submission or verification procedures herein; (iii) are unreasonably repetitive, excessive, or unfounded under applicable U.S. law; or (iv) do not meet legal or procedural requirements.

You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of information provided by Your authorized agent. The Company is not liable for delays, non-compliance, or errors in Processing due to inaccurate or incomplete documentation from the agent. Any issues must be resolved by You and Your agent before resubmission.

As stated above, the Company will not discriminate against You for using an authorized agent, ensuring equal access to the Website and Services regardless of how You exercise Your rights.

Appeals.

If You are a U.S. resident and Your privacy request is denied or improperly handled by the Company, You may submit an appeal using the contact methods outlined herein.

Your appeal must include: (i) sufficient information to identify You (e.g., full name, email address used in the original request); (ii) details of the denied or mishandled request (e.g., date submitted, type of request); (iii) any supporting documentation You deem relevant (e.g., prior correspondence, proof of identity). 

Failure to provide adequate information may result in the Company’s inability to process the appeal. 

The Company will review Your appeal and notify You in writing of any actions taken or not taken, including a detailed explanation of the decision. If the appeal is denied, the notification will include instructions for escalating the matter, such as filing a formal complaint with the Attorney General or other relevant regulatory authority in Your state of residence, where such an escalation process is provided by law.

The Company is committed to responding to appeals within the timeframes mandated by applicable U.S. state privacy laws, as follows:

Timeframe for response	State(s)
60 (sixty) days	Montana;Connecticut;Florida;Texas;Virginia;	Iowa;Delaware;Nebraska;New Hampshire.
45 (forty-five) days	Nevada;Colorado;Oregon;	Washington;New Jersey.

For residents of states where applicable privacy laws do not explicitly grant a right to appeal, the Company is not obligated to accept or review appeals. However, You may still contact Us at [email protected] to request clarification or additional information about a denied request. We will endeavor to provide a response where appropriate, but We do not guarantee reconsideration or further action in such cases unless required by law.

The Company is not responsible for the outcome of any complaints filed with state authorities following an appeal denial. You are solely responsible for pursuing such escalation and complying with the procedures of the relevant regulatory body.

Personal information that We “share”, “sell”, or use for “targeted advertising”.

Certain U.S. state privacy laws grant residents—or their authorized agents in some cases—the right to opt out of the “selling” or “sharing” of their Personal information, or the use of their Personal information for “targeted advertising”, as defined by those laws.

The Company does not directly sell or share directly identifying Personal information (e.g., Your name or email address) for monetary gain or cross-context behavioral advertising. However, when You visit the Website certain technical identifiers may be made accessible to Third-Party service providers, such as Google Analytics, to improve the relevance and functionality of Our Services (e.g., analyzing user behavior to optimize content). Under some U.S. state laws, this may be classified as “sharing” Personal information, a “sale” of Personal information, or use for “targeted advertising”, even though the Company does not engage in traditional advertising or profit directly from such Personal information.

To opt out of the “sharing”, “selling”, or use of Your Personal information for “targeted advertising”, You may: (i) submit a request via email to [email protected]; or (ii) use the opt-out form available in the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” section of the Website.

Once received, We will process Your request and update Our systems to reflect Your preference. 

Your opt-out preference applies only to the device and browser from which You submit the request. If You use multiple devices or browsers to access the Website, You must submit a separate opt-out request for each to ensure comprehensive coverage.

The Company is committed to processing opt-out requests promptly and in compliance with applicable U.S. state laws, with the following specific response timeframes:

Timeframe for response	State(s)
15 (fifteen) days	California;Oregon;Delaware;	New Hampshire;New Jersey.
45 (forty-five) days	Montana.
60 (sixty) days (if required, may be extended by 30 (thirty) days)	Nevada.

If additional information or clarification is required to process Your request, We will notify You promptly and provide an explanation.

If no specific response time for opt-out requests is provided under the applicable law in Your state, the Company will adhere to the general response timeframes outlined for User requests, as specified in the section 12.5 of the Privacy Policy.

The Company honors universal opt-out mechanisms, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), where required by applicable U.S. state privacy laws. These mechanisms are browser-based tools or extensions designed to simplify Your ability to exercise control over Your online privacy by signaling Your preference to opt out of the “selling”, “sharing”, or use of Your Personal information for “targeted advertising”. When You visit the Website, certain browsers or extensions supporting GPC can send an automated signal to Us indicating Your choice to opt out of the use of Your Personal information. Where applicable regulations mandate it, We recognize and honor this GPC signal, as well as similar User-initiated, browser-based opt-out preference signals, to ensure compliance with Your privacy preferences. Upon receiving a valid GPC signal from Your browser, We will process it as an opt-out request and update Our systems accordingly. To configure GPC, You can visit the official Global Privacy Control page at https://globalprivacycontrol.org/ for instructions, or enable it through a compatible browser or extension that supports this feature. Once activated, Your browser will automatically transmit Your opt-out preference to the Website during Your visit, and We will honor it as required by law.

Fair Information Practices.

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States, and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of Data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect Personal information.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices We will take the following responsive action, should a Data breach occur: We will notify the Users via Website notification within 7 (seven) business days.

We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against Data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against Data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and / or prosecute non-compliance by Personal information processors.
