measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this privacy
notice and applicable law.

information for longer than the period of time in which users have an account
with us.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal
information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this

electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology

to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your
information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal
information, transmission of personal information to and from our Website is
at your own risk. You should only access the Website within a secure
environment.

11. Controls for do not track features

recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do

automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard
for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will
inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
