Device permissions for Personal Data access
Depending on the User's specific device, our web site may request certain permissions that allow it to access the User's device Data as described below.
By default, these permissions must be granted by the User before the respective information can be accessed. Once the permission has been given, it can be revoked by the User at any time. In order to revoke these permissions, Users may refer to the device settings or contact the Owner for support at the contact details provided in the present document.

If User grants any of the permissions listed below, the respective Personal Data may be processed (i.e accessed to, modified or removed) by our web site.
Approximate location permission (non-continuous)
Used for accessing the User's approximate device location. Our web site may collect, use, and share User location Data in order to provide location-based services. The geographic location of the User is determined in a manner that isn't continuous. This means that it is impossible for our web site to derive the approximate position of the User on a continuous basis.
Precise location permission (non-continuous)
Used for accessing the User's precise device location. Our web site may collect, use, and share User location Data in order to provide location-based services. The geographic location of the User is determined in a manner that isn't continuous. This means that it is impossible for our web site to derive the exact position of the User on a continuous basis.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics as a third-party tracking service, but we don’t use it to track you individually or collect your Personal Data. We use Google Analytics to collect information about how our website performs. Google Analytics gathers certain simple, non-personally identifying information over time, such as your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring and exit pages, time stamp, and similar data about your use of our site. We do not link this information to any of your Personal Data. We will not, nor will we allow any third party to, use the Google Analytics tool to track our users individually; collect any Personal Data other than IP address; or correlate your IP address with your identity. Google provides further information about its own privacy practices and offers a Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Do we use 'cookies'?
We do not use our own cookies for tracking purposes. However, Google Analytics may store its own cookies on your device. Please, refer to Google Privacy Policy for further details.
You can 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. Since each browser is a little different, look at your browser's Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.
How do we protect your information?
Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, we only provide articles and information. We never ask for credit card numbers.
Third-party disclosure
We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your Personal Data, nor do we give it to others to sell you anything. We may release information when it's release is appropriate to comply with the law.
Third-party links
We do not host advertising on our web site. We may occasionally embed content from third party sites, and that content may include ads. While we try to minimize the amount of ads our embedded content contains, we can't always control what third parties show.
Tracking
"Do Not Track" is a privacy preference you can set in your browser if you do not want online services to collect and share certain kinds of information about your online activity from third party tracking services. We do not track your online browsing activity on other online services over time and we do not permit third-party services to track your activity on our site beyond our basic Google Analytics tracking. Because we do not share this kind of data with third party services or permit this kind of third party data collection on our site, and we do not track our users on third-party websites ourselves, we do not need to respond differently to an individual browser's Do Not Track setting. If you are interested in turning on your browser’s privacy and Do Not Track settings, the Do Not Track web site has browser-specific instructions.
