While we strive to safeguard your information, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized individuals (hackers, cybercriminals, etc.) will not bypass our security and improperly access, steal, or alter your data.

### 11. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers, mobile operating systems, and some apps offer a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting that you can enable to signal your preference not to have your online activities tracked. However, no standardized technology has been established for recognizing and implementing DNT signals. As a result, we currently do not respond to DNT signals or other automated mechanisms that indicate a desire not to be tracked online.
If a uniform standard for DNT is established and we are required to comply, we will update this privacy notice accordingly.
California law requires us to disclose how we handle DNT signals. Since there is no industry or legal standard for DNT, we do not currently respond to these signals.
