Protection and Management of your Personal Data
o Encryption & Security: We use a variety of technical and organizational security measures, including encryption and authentication tools, to maintain the safety of your personal data. Your personal data is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to these systems.
International data transfers: The personal data we collect or generate (process) in the context of our Site will be stored in the USA. Some of the data recipients with whom EVERKI shares your personal data may be located in countries other than the country in which your personal data originally was collected. The laws in those countries may not provide the same level of data protection compared to the country in which you initially provided your data. Nevertheless, when we transfer your personal data to recipients in other countries, including the USA, we will protect that personal data as described in this Policy and in compliance with applicable law.
If you are located in the European Economic Area ("EEA") or Switzerland, we take measures to comply with applicable legal requirements and ensure adequate protection for the transfer of personal data to recipients in countries outside of the EEA or Switzerland.

Cookies
To make this Site work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the Site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, IP address, unique cookie identifier, language, browser type, country, time zone, previously visited websites, referring URLs, information about your interaction with our Site, purchases, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the Site or browse from one page to another.
Third parties may also collect information via the Site through cookies, third party plug-ins, and widgets. These third parties collect data directly from your web browser and the processing of this data is subject to their own privacy policies.
How do we use cookies?
We use cookies to track our customers' usage of the Site and to understand our customers' preferences (such as country and language choices). This enables us to provide products to our customers and improve their online experience. We also use cookies to obtain aggregate data about Site traffic and Site interaction, to identify trends and obtain statistics so that we can improve our Site. There are generally three categories of cookies used on our Site:
• Functional: These cookies are required for basic Site functionality and are therefore always enabled. These include cookies that allow you to be remembered as you explore our Site within a single session or, if you request, from session to session. They help make the shopping cart and checkout process possible as well as assist in security issues and conforming to regulations.
• Performance: These cookies allow us to improve our Site's functionality by tracking usage. In some cases, these cookies improve the speed with which we can process your request and allow us to remember Site preferences you have selected. Refusing these cookies may result in poorly-tailored recommendations and slow Site performance.
• Social Media and Advertising: Social media cookies offer the possibility to connect you to your social networks and share content from our Site through social media. Advertising cookies (of third parties) collect information to help better tailor advertising to your interests, both within and beyond our Site. In some cases, these cookies involve the processing of your personal data. Refusing these cookies may result in seeing advertising that is not as relevant to you or you not being able to link effectively with Facebook, Twitter, or other social networks and/or not allowing you to share content on social media.
You can change your preference by visiting the "Cookie Settings" at the bottom of each page of our Site.
For a comprehensive and up-to-date summary of every third party accessing your web browser (through our Site or otherwise), we recommend installing a web browser plugin built for this purpose. You can also choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings on each browser and device that you use. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you may not have access to many features that make our Site more efficient and some of our Site features will not function properly.
