We may share your information, including your personal information, as follows:

In Response to Legal Process. We may disclose the information we collect from you in order to comply with the law, a judicial proceeding, court order or other legal process, such as responding to a subpoena.

To Protect Us and Others. We may disclose the information we collect from you where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person or violations of this Policy.

Affiliates. We may disclose the information we collect from you to our affiliates; however, if we do so, their use and disclosure of your information will be subject to this Policy.

Business Transfers. If we are acquired by or merged with another company, if substantially all of our assets are transferred to another company, or as part of another business transaction, we may transfer the information we have collected from you to the acquiring company.

Service Providers. We may disclose the information we collect from you to third party vendors, service providers, contractors or agents who perform functions on our behalf. For example, those providers who may help administer our Site.

Franchisees and Other Non-Affiliated Third Parties. We may disclose the information that we collect about you to non-affiliated third parties, such as franchisees, licensees, promotional partners and others with whom we have marketing or other relationships. Those third parties may use your information, for example, for marketing purposes, such as to market Rytina’s products and services that they believe would be of interest to you. We also may combine the information that we collect about you with other information that we obtain from third parties. You have the right to opt out of certain uses of your information. You also have the ability to opt-into the receipt of certain information from us and unaffiliated third parties. We may share your information to respond to your choices. Because our franchisees and other third parties are not affiliated with us, we cannot be responsible for how they use your information.

Aggregate and Anonymous Information. We may share aggregate or anonymous information about users with third parties for marketing, advertising, research or similar purposes. For example, if we display advertisements on behalf of a third party, we may share aggregate, demographic information with that third party about the users to whom we displayed the advertisements.

COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING

As mentioned above, we might use cookies and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of our Site, App or services. We may combine this information with other personal information we collect from you.

Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we may transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. We might use cookies to uniquely identify you, in order to help us to process your transactions and requests, to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity, and to display advertising both on our Site and on third-party sites. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. If you disable cookies some features of our Site may not function.

Flash LSOs. We might use Flash LSOs, to store your Site preferences and to personalize your visit. LSOs vary from browser cookies in the type, amount and browser-control of data. Please visit the Adobe Flash Player Help Page, choose “Global Storage Settings Panel” for information and instructions to manage settings.

Clear GIFs. Clear GIFs (a/k/a pixel tags, web beacons or web bugs) are small graphics similar in function to cookies. Unlike cookies, which are stored on your hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages, not stored on your hard drive. We might use clear GIFs to track the activities of Site visitors and App users, manage content, and compile usage statistics. We and our third-party service providers also might use clear GIFs in HTML e-mails to our customers, which help us track e-mail response rates, identify when our e-mails are viewed, and track whether our e-mails are forwarded.

THIRD PARTY ANALYTICS AND TRACKING

We might use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate usage of our Site. We use these tools to help us improve our Site and App performance and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services. We do not share your personal information with these third parties.

ADVERTISEMENTS

We may display advertisements on our Site and App. Some of the advertisements are based on the collection of personal information and others are based on the collection of aggregate information.

We use third parties such as network advertisers to serve advertisements on our Site and App. Network advertisers are third parties that display advertisements based on your visits to our Site, App and other websites you have visited. This enables us to target advertisements to you for Rytina’s products and services in which you might be interested. Third party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you. These third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy, not this one. We may provide these third-party advertisers with information about your usage of our Site, both personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information. Currently, our website honors most Do-Not-Track browser requests. However, you may opt out of certain ad networks as explained below.

You may opt-out of many third-party ad networks. The website http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!/ provides information regarding this practice by Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) members, and your choices regarding having this information used by these companies, including how to “opt-out” of third-party ad networks operated by NAI members. You also may contact Direct Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ for information about opting out of targeted advertising and your choices regarding having information used by DAA member companies, including how to “opt-out” of third-party ad networks operated by DAA members. Opting out of one or more NAI members or About Ad members (many of which will be the same) only means that those members no longer will deliver targeted content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content or ads on our Site or other websites. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing. Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit this opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different computer or change web browsers, your NAI or DAA opt-out may no longer, be effective. Additional information is available on NAI’s and DAA’s websites accessible by the above links.
