OTHER SITES

The Services may contain links to third-party websites, which may have privacy policies that differ from our own. We are not responsible for the practices of such sites.

In some cases, we may know that you clicked on a social plugin, such as a Twitter follow button, or receive other information from the social media sites. Similarly, if you have previously provided personal information to a third-party operating a plug-in on the Services, then such a third party may recognize you on the Service. Your use of social network plugins is subject to each social media site’s privacy policy, which may be different from ours, so please read these policies carefully to understand their policies and your options. As with linked sites, we have no control over the information that is collected, stored, or used by social network plugins, and are not responsible for the practices of such sites.
