In order to collect this information, the Site may use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technology, depending on the features offered. Tracking technology is useful for gathering information such as browser type and operating system, tracking the number of visitors to the Site, and understanding how visitors use the Site. Cookies can also help us customize the Site and improve your experience. If you previously provided personally identifiable information to us, a unique identifier in the cookie may tie the information collected via the cookie to such information. Aggregate cookie and tracking information that does not directly identify you may be shared with third parties. Also, some content on the Site may be provided by third parties that may use cookies in conjunction with other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use the Site, which enables them to provide targeted advertising to you. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. We may display certain advertising offers on the Site or allow service providers, advertisers, ad networks, or other third parties to advertise on the Site. Additionally, we may use third-party software to serve ads on the Site, implement email marketing campaigns, and manage other interactive marketing initiatives. This third- party software may use cookies, web beacons, or similar tracking technology to help manage and optimize your online experience with us. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can usually choose to set your browser to disable or reject cookies. Be aware that disabling or rejecting cookies could affect the availability and functionality of the Site or certain portions of the Site. Also, please note that we may still use information we’ve collected from cookies prior to your disabling them; however, we will not collect any further information from the disabled cookies.

Analytics We may allow selected service providers or processors to use tracking technology on the Site, which will enable them to collect information about how you use the Site over time. This information may be used to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, and better understand your online activity.
Transfer of Assets If we reorganize or otherwise transfer some or all of the Site or our assets to another organization (such as in the course of a merger, dissolution, or liquidation), your information may be shared with the transferee; however, we will ask the transferee to honor commitments we made in this Privacy Policy.
Security and Fraud We allow third parties to receive personal information from our users to provide both security and fraud protection to Advantage Gold. We do not control these third parties or how it is used.
Required By Law We may share your information as permitted or required by any applicable law in response to a subpoena or other legal process or as we deem necessary to investigate or remedy any actual or potential violation of our policies or to protect the rights, property, and safety of Advantage Gold or others, as we deem appropriate.
Selling or Sharing Your Data In order to support tailored advertisements, offers, or content that you may find interesting when you browse the internet, we may share the personal information that you provide to us or that we collect about you in exchange for value or monetary consideration with our trusted third party partners that support online advertising, data co-operatives, mobile advertising, data analytics, social media engagement, data brokers advertising networks or any other activity that may be considered cross-behavioral advertising or direct marketing. This transfer could be defined as a sale, sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising.
In the past 12-months, we have transferred the following types of information for this purpose: (A) persistent identifiers such as unique device identifiers, email addresses, account information, IP addresses, information related to your browser, operation system, or any information that you provided to your account and (B) user activity data such as the data you provided when sign up to our services. You may request a list of which third parties have received your personal information by contacting us at the information below.
Additionally, you can opt-out of this type of transfer at any time by contacting us using the information below or by clicking here.
Policy for Children We do not use the Site to solicit information from or market to children under the age of 18. By using the Site, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s internet usage and to instruct their children never to provide personal information through the Site or any other website without parental consent. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us via the Site, please contact us and we will use reasonable efforts to locate and delete the information.
Do Not Track Signals Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set to have their Internet browser automatically send a signal to our online and mobile resources to request we not track browsing activity across different sites. There is, however, currently no universal standard for sending and receiving DNT signals. As such, we cannot promise that we respond to all DNT signals, but do recognize and respond when required by applicable privacy laws, such as when HTTP header fields or Java objects are used.
Submitting Information From Outside The United States We control and operate the online and mobile resources from within the United States of America (the “U.S.”). Information collected through the Website and Services may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which our vendors or we maintain facilities. Although we do not actively block or monitor visitors from other countries, the Website is directed only at visitors from the U.S. As such, this Privacy Policy is consistent with U.S. law and practice and is not adapted to other laws (including European data security and privacy laws). Advantage Gold will apply the applicable laws of the U.S., including as embodied in this Privacy Policy in place of data protections under your home country’s law. That is, you freely and unambiguously acknowledge that this Privacy Policy, not your home country’s laws, controls how we will collect, store, process, and transfer your personal information. Similarly, the English language version of this Privacy Policy is the controlling version regardless of any translation you may attempt.
Links to Other Websites and Third Party Practices This Site may contain links to third party websites. It is our intent to provide links only to other quality websites. However, we have no control over these linked websites or, for that matter, any third parties. Any information collected by websites, other than the Site, is not covered by this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties, including other websites that may be linked to or from the Site. We encourage you to read the provisions of privacy policies on other websites before providing them with your personal information.
