Analytics
Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our services. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualise and personalise the ads of its advertising network. We may use third-party service providers to monitor and analyse the use of our Service. You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity.
Make a Payment
We use a third-party payment processor to process payments made to us. In connection with processing such payments, we do not retain any personally identifiable information or financial information such as credit card numbers. Instead, all such information is provided directly to our third-party processors, whose use of your personal information is governed by their privacy policy.
