We collect information that you provide directly via the Service, such as when you sign up for our email newsletters. We may use Service Providers (defined below) to collect this information. The information we collect includes information that identifies you personally and may include:

• Contact Data—we collect your first name, last name, and email address.
• Content—we collect the content of messages you send to us, such as your feedback or questions and information you provide to us.

You may choose to voluntarily submit information to us through the Service that we do not request, and, in such instances, you are solely responsible for such information.

We automatically collect information about the services you use and how you use them, such as when you visit different parts of our site and what selections you make on the website. We may use Service Provides to collect this information. We may also collect certain technical information such as:

• Service Use Data—we collect data about how you use our service, such as your navigation paths, the features you use, the pages you visit, the emails you view, the date and time of day you browse, your referring and exiting pages, and other similar information.
• Device Information—we may collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system, unique device identifiers, your internet service provider, your device’s regional and language settings, and mobile related information if you access our Service via your mobile device). This data also includes IP address, MAC address, device advertising id, and other device identifiers.

We use various Tracking technologies to collect this information including the following:

• Log Files. When you use our Services or view content provided by us, we may automatically collect and store certain information in server log files. A log file is a file that records events that occur in connection with your use of the Service, such as your service use data.
• Cookies. A cookie is a small data file stored on your device that may uniquely identify your browser or your use of our services. We use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate the Service and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies help with personalizing your experience, remembering your preferences, and supporting security features. Additionally, persistent cookies allow us to bring you advertising both on and off the Service. Persistent cookies may remain on your device for extended periods of time, and generally may be controlled through your browser settings.
• Pixels. A pixel (also known as a web beacon) is code embedded in a website, video, email, or advertisements that sends information about your use to a server. There are various types of pixels, including image pixels (which are small graphic images) and JavaScript pixels (which contains JavaScript code). When you access a website, video, email, or advertisement that contains a pixel, the pixel may permit us or a third party to drop or read cookies on your browser. Pixels are used in combination with cookies to track activity by a particular browser on a particular device. We may incorporate pixels from third parties that allow us to track our conversions, bring you advertising both on and off the Service, and provide you with additional functionality, such as the ability to connect our Service with your social media account.

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Our Service contains Tracking Technologies owned and operated by Third Parties. For example, we use Tracking Technologies from third party analytics providers, such as Google Analytics, to help us analyze your use of the Service, compile statistical reports on the Service’s activity, and provide us with other services relating to Service activity and internet usage.

We use the information we collect from all of our Services to:

• Provide, maintain, protect, improve and manage our Services.

Without limiting the foregoing, in our sole discretion, we may share aggregated information which does not identify you or de-identified information about you with third parties or affiliates for any purpose except as prohibited by applicable law.

We work hard to implement and maintain reasonable administrative, physical and technical security safeguards to protect our users from unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of information we hold. Nevertheless, no website is entirely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of your information. You should protect the account information in your possession as well.

If we provide you with any mailings or other communication, you can always opt out of that communication.

• Cookies and Pixels. Most browsers accept cookies by default. You may set your browser to block all cookies, including cookies associated with our services, or to indicate when a cookie is being set by us. If you use multiple browsers on your device, you will need to instruct each browser separately. Your ability to limit cookies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.
• Do Not Track. Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no industry consensus as to what site and app operators should do with regard to these signals. Accordingly, we do not monitor or take action with respect to “Do Not Track” signals or other mechanisms. For more information on “Do Not Track,” visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

However, it’s important to remember that many of our Services may not function properly if you disable or remove Tracking Technologies.

California’s “Shine the Light” law permits customers in California to request certain details about how certain types of their information are shared with third parties and, in some cases, affiliates, for those third parties’ and affiliates’ own direct marketing purposes.

For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our plugin. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.
