Third Party Links and Services

This Privacy Policy applies only to the use of your personal information obtained by us. This Privacy Policy no longer applies when you use a link to go from our Website to another website, or you request a service from a third party. Your browsing and interaction on any other websites, and your dealings with any other third party, are subject to that website’s and third party’s own policies.

We encourage you to become familiar with the privacy practices of every website you visit or third party service provider that you deal with, and to contact them if you have any questions about their privacy policies and practices.
