We also allow third parties and service providers to utilize tracking tools on our Services for analytics and advertising purposes, including managing and displaying ads, tailoring ads to your interests, or sending reminders about abandoned shopping carts (based on your communication preferences). These third parties and providers use their tools to deliver advertising about products and services customized to your interests, which might appear on our Services or other websites.

When we no longer have a legitimate business need to manage your personal details, we’ll either erase or anonymize them, or, if that’s not feasible (e.g., because your details are stored in backup archives), we’ll securely store them and isolate them from further handling until deletion is possible.
7. HOW DO WE SECURE YOUR DETAILS?
In Brief: We strive to protect your personal details with a combination of organizational and technical security measures.
We’ve established appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures to safeguard the security of any personal details we manage.

While we’ll do our utmost to protect your personal details, transmitting details to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services in a secure environment.

10. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK OPTIONS
Many web browsers, mobile operating systems, and apps offer a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can enable to indicate your preference against having your online browsing tracked and collected. Currently, no standardized technology for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been established. Thus, we don’t respond to DNT browser signals or other mechanisms automatically signaling your choice against online tracking. If a tracking standard we must follow is adopted later, we’ll update you about it in a revised Privacy Statement.
California law requires us to disclose how we handle web browser DNT signals. Since there’s no industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals yet, we don’t respond to them currently.
