F. Web Site Features
The Site or Services may utilize “cookies”, which are small files placed on your hard drive or computing device, to help analyze our web page flow, customize our services, measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. Certain features are only available through the use of cookies, and generally we need to use cookies to help identify you and maintain your signed-in status. You are always free to decline Site or Service cookies via your browser settings, although doing so may interfere with your use of the Site or Services. You may encounter cookies from third parties that we do not control. In addition, the Site or Services may incorporate pixel tags, web beacons or other web site usage measurement technologies. Such devices are used to collect non-personally identifiable information, such as the identity of the applicable internet service provider, the user’s IP address of his or her personal computer, the UDID or device ID, the type of browser software and operating system in use, the date and time of Site or Service access, the website address, if any, from which the user linked, and other similar traffic-related information. Such information is used for the purposes described above. We may also aggregate such information with similar data collected from other users or disclose such information to third parties.

We will collect data on your mobile device and collect statistics on Site use. Despite our efforts, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they intercept.
G. Password
We may or may not request you have a password. We may or may not assign a password. If we make a request, your password deserves careful thought and protection. Use unique numbers, letters, and special characters and do not disclose your password to anyone.

If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personal information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf.

Once you make a public posting, you may not be able to change or remove it. Upon your request, we will close your account and remove your personal information from view as soon as reasonably possible, based on your account activity and in accordance with applicable law. We retain personal information from closed accounts in order to comply with law, prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our Site-related agreements, and take other actions otherwise permitted by law or as specified elsewhere in this Policy.
