How We May Use and Disclose Other Information

We primarily use and disclose Other Information in order to better understand user preferences and trends.

Our Virtual Events may rely upon the use of third party services, including, without limitation, Zoom, Remo.co, Vimeo, and others (collectively, “Third Party Services”). This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information or other practices of any Third Party Services, or any other third party service to which our website or the Service contains a link. The inclusion of a Third Party Service or link on our website or the Service does not imply endorsement of the Third Party Service linked site or service by us or by our affiliates.

SECURITY

We seek to use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect Personal Information within our organization.
