The third parties we share data with include:
- Google (Analytics & AdSense): We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our Site, and Google AdSense to serve advertisements. Google uses cookies and tracking technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our Site or other websites. You can opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

We use cookies—small text files placed on your device—and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Site and hold certain information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Site.

6. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law. Log data and analytics data are generally retained for a period of up to 14 months (in accordance with default Google Analytics data retention settings), after which it is automatically deleted or anonymized.
7. Children’s Privacy

8. Your US Privacy Rights (CalOPPA & CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a resident of California, or other US states with consumer privacy laws (such as Virginia, Colorado, or Connecticut), you have specific rights regarding your personal data:
- Right to Know and Access: You have the right to request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal data we have collected about you.
- Right to Delete: You have the right to request that we delete any personal data we have collected from you.
- Right to Opt-Out of “Sale”: We do not sell your personal data. Therefore, there is no need to exercise an opt-out right regarding the sale of your information.
- Do Not Track: California law requires us to let you know how we respond to “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals. Currently, there is no industry standard for how to respond to DNT signals. Our Site currently does not respond to DNT signals, but you can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
