and assist with basic site functions.
We also permit third parties and service
providers to use online tracking technologies on our Services for analytics and
advertising, including to help manage and display advertisements, to tailor
advertisements to your interests, or to send abandoned shopping cart reminders
(depending on your communication preferences). The third parties and service
providers use their technology to provide advertising about products and
services tailored to your interests which may appear either on our Services or
on other websites.
To the extent these online tracking
technologies are deemed to be
a "sale"/"sharing" (which includes targeted
advertising, as defined under the applicable laws) under applicable US state
laws, you can opt out of these online tracking technologies by submitting a
request as described below under section "DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE
SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?"
Specific information about how we use such
technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie
Notice.
Google Analytics
We may share your information with Google
Analytics to track and analyze the use of the Services. The
Google Analytics Advertising Features that we may use include: Google

6. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We keep your information for as long as
necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice
unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information
for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice,
unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax,
accounting, or other legal requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business
need to process your personal information, we will either delete
or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for
example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives),
then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any
further processing until deletion is possible.
7. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information
through a system of organizational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable
technical and organizational security measures designed to protect
the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our
safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission
over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be
100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or
other unauthorized third parties will not be able 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 Services is at your own risk. You
should only access the Services within a secure environment.
8. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or
market to children under 18 years of age.

from, or market to children under 18 years of age, nor do we knowingly sell
such personal information. By using the Services, you represent that you are at
least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to
such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal
information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will
deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such
data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected
from children under age 18, please contact us at manivijayansasidaran@gmail.com.
9. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: Depending on your state of residence in the
US or in some regions, such as the European Economic Area (EEA),
United Kingdom (UK), Switzerland, and Canada, you have rights that allow you
greater access to and control over your personal information. You may
review, change, or terminate your account at any time, depending on your
country, province, or state of residence.
In some regions (like the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; (iv) if applicable, to data portability; and (v) not to be subject to automated decision-making. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. You can make such a request by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.
We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us
by using the contact details provided in the section "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS
NOTICE?" below.
However, please note that this will not affect

applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal
information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than
consent.
If you have questions or comments about your
privacy rights, you may email us at manivijayansasidaran@gmail.com.
10. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating
systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT")
feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to
have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At
this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and
implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently
respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that 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.
California law requires us to let you know how
we respond to web browser DNT signals. Because there currently is not an
industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT
signals, we do not respond to them at this time.

Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Montana, New
