This Privacy Policy applies solely to our privacy practices. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any Third Parties, even if our ads contain links to Third Party websites and even if we have an independent business relationship with that Third Party. This policy does not address, and we are not responsible for information practices (including collection, usage, disclosure or data security) of any Third Parties, including any Third Party operating any site or service to which our Site links. The inclusion of a link on our Site does not imply our or our affiliates’ endorsement of the linked site or service.
We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy of each and every web site that you visit to be sure you understand the terms and conditions that apply to you from each of them.
Supplementation of Personal Information: In order to provide certain services to you, we may on occasion supplement the Personal Information you submitted to us with information from Third Party sources. Some, but not all, of the ways we may supplement information include:
C. Information Collected Through Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
We use tracking technologies to help provide content, to measure promotional effectiveness, to offer advertisements and/or other offerings, to recognize you and your preferences when you return to our site, to help us learn more about how our users use our sites, to personalize your experience, to assess which areas of our Site you visit, and to remarket to you after you leave our site.
Tracking: We permit Service Providers (as defined below) and Third Parties (as defined below) that we have agreements with us to track you when you are on our Site. When you leave our Site there is a chance that these Third Parties may continue to track you.
A few tracking technologies include, without limitation, images, scripts and subsequent technology and methods later developed:
Cookies: Edvisors uses “cookies” and other technologies to help us learn more about how our users use our sites and to recognize you when you return. “Cookies” (which may be html files, Flash files or other technology) are text files that are stored on your browser or device by websites, apps, online media, and advertisements that can be used to help recognize you as an Edvisors user and help store your preferences and activity. Cookies are not used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to your computer and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies may store user preferences and other information and can be deleted or blocked by changing the settings on your web browser. You may also be able to modify your browser setting to notify you each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis. However, choosing to decline cookies may hinder performance and negatively impact your experience on Edvisors’ Site.
Web Beacons: Web beacons are small graphic images or other web programming which may be included in our Services. Web beacons can be invisible to you and are used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to our Sites, to monitor how users navigate our Sites, to count how many e-mails that were sent were actually opened or to count how many specific articles or links were actually viewed.
HTML5 and Locally Stored Objects: Similar to cookies are “locally stored objects” which we may also use for storing analytics information. Locally stored objects, such as HTML5 Web Storage, are used for similar purposes as cookies but typically may contain a greater amount and different types of data than browser cookies. Most current versions of common web browsers clear this locally stored data when you delete or clear your cookie cache. To confirm whether this is the case for the browser you are using, or to learn more about how to precisely control this data storage, please consult the Help function of your browser.
Analytics Tools and Third-Party Cookies: Edvisors uses temporary cookies to help us determine how people travel through our Site. A session cookie expires when you close your browser. We also use Third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to collect information such as how often users visit our Site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our Site. We use this information only to improve our Sites and Services. Such tools use permanent cookies to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit our Site. Third Parties providing such analytics tools may also transfer this information to other third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on their behalf. By using our Site, you consent to the processing of data about you by a Third-Party click tracking analytics provider in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
For some of our products, we use Google Analytics Advertising Features, including Remarketing with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, Google Analytics Demographic and Interest Reporting.
You may opt out of the Google Analytics service with Google’s Browser Add-on that’s available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/

You can exercise cookie choices with certain advertising networks by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.
Session Replay Software - Our Site may also use, on some pages, the HotJar Analysis and Feedback tool. We may use Hotjar in order to better understand our users’ needs and to optimize this service and experience. Hotjar is a technology service that helps us better understand our users’ experience (e.g., how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users do and don’t like) and this enables us to build and maintain our service with user feedback. Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect data on our users’ behavior and their devices. This includes a device's IP address (processed during your session and stored in a de-identified form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), and the preferred language used to display our website. Hotjar stores this information on our behalf in a pseudonymized user profile. Hotjar is contractually forbidden to sell any of the data collected on our behalf.

You can choose to disable the HotJar service at https://www.hotjar.com/opt-out.
Online Advertising Networks and Third-Party Cookies: Edvisors sometimes runs online ad campaigns that display Edvisors ads to you based on your likely interests. We may learn your likely interests when you use our Site and from other companies and websites that help us understand your likely interests. These types of ads are often called “interest-based ads”, “online behavioral advertising”, or “targeted advertising”. We hire “ad networks” to display these ads on websites across the Internet. Edvisors adheres to the DAA’s Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising.
The ad networks we hire to display these ads set their own cookies on your browser and use web beacons to measure the effectiveness of these ads and to understand your likely interests. Our ad networks and Edvisors both learn which Edvisors ads are shown to you, which ads are clicked on, and on which web page the ads were displayed.
Third-party companies may use non-cookie technologies to recognize your computer or device and/or to collect and record information about your web surfing activity including your activities on our Site. These technologies may be used directly on our Site. Please keep in mind that your web browser may not permit you to block the use of these non-cookie technologies, and those browser settings that block cookies may have no effect on such techniques.
For more general information about interest-based ads and your choices, visit the Digital Advertising Alliance at http://www.aboutads.info/choices.
Cross-device and cross-app technology: We use the term “devices” to refer collectively to computers and mobile devices, as well as the internet browsers and other applications on your devices that interact with the internet. We and our customers may use technology that establishes deterministic or statistical connections among related devices (such as smartphones, tablets, and computers) to deliver more relevant advertising to you and for advertising analytics and reporting purposes. This includes cross device data collection which refers to the process of collecting data from separate devices that have been determined through statistical analysis to be linked or related.
How We Respond to Browser “Do Not Track” Signals: Some web browsers or mobile device operating systems incorporate a “Do Not Track” (a/k/a DNT) feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. We do not respond to web browser and/or mobile device operating systems “Do Not Track” signals at this time.

If a child whom we know to be under age thirteen sends Personal Information to us online, we will only use that information to respond directly to that child, notify parents or seek parental consent, and will delete such information from our records. If we change our practices in the future, we will obtain prior, verifiable parental consent before collecting any Personal Information from children known to be under the age of thirteen. We are not, however, responsible for the collection and use of information by companies or individuals unaffiliated with us whose web sites may contain links to ours. Because we do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children under the age of thirteen, we also do not knowingly distribute such information to Third Parties. We do not knowingly allow children under the age of thirteen to publicly post or otherwise distribute Personal Information via our Site. Edvisors has provided residents of Maryland, who are under eighteen (18) years of age, with EXTRA privacy protection. This means we do not sell your personal information and we do not use your personal information to profile you. Profiling means automated processing of personal information to evaluate or predict things like economic situation, health, preferences, interests, behavior, and location.
We take the security of your Personal Information very seriously. Edvisors maintains certain physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to help protect our data. We require all Service Providers to whom we disclose your Personal Information.
We cannot, however, ensure or guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or store on the Services and you do so at your own risk. We also cannot guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, electronic, or administrative safeguards.
This Site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that Edvisors does not exercise control over the information, products, services or policies of Third-Party companies linked from or accessible through our Site. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Site and to read the privacy policies of each and every Third-Party site so you can understand how they collect, use, and share your information.
We encourage you to visit your account, if applicable, to review and update your Personal Information.

Consumer Privacy Rights
Laws in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Virginia and Montana provide consumer-residents with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. This section describes your rights if you are a resident of the above states and explains how to exercise those rights.
Rights available may vary by state.
Opt Out Right
The right to opt out of:
We will recognize legally required opt-out from sale and sharing and/or targeting advertising signals such as Global Privacy Control.
If we receive an opt-out from sale and sharing signal and are able to reasonably identify the consumer to whom the signal relates, we will treat the signal from a California or Colorado consumer as a request to opt out of the sale and sharing for targeted and cross-context behavioral advertising purposes of all Personal Information. We will also disable cookies and other tracking tools utilized by Third Parties on our Site.
If we receive an opt-out from sale and sharing signal and are not able to reasonably identify the consumer to whom the signal relates, we will treat the signal as a request to opt out limited to the Personal Information we collect from the consumer during the online session during which the signal is present. We will also disable cookies and other tracking tools utilized by Third Parties on our Site.
Access Right (Right to Know)
A California, Colorado, Connecticut, Oregon, Virginia or Montana consumer has the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months, including:
We will provide this information free of charge once per twelve-month period to a Connecticut consumer and twice per twelve-month period to a California, Colorado, Oregon, Virginia or Montana consumer. We are not permitted to provide access to specific pieces of Personal Information if the Personal Information is sensitive or creates a high risk of potential harm from disclosure to an unauthorized person such as financial information, social security numbers, and driver's license numbers. We will not provide specific pieces of Personal Information unless you expressly request them.
Deletion Right
A California, Colorado, Connecticut, Oregon, Virginia or Montana consumer has the right to request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and maintained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our Service Providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies. We may rightfully retain your Personal Information if a legal exemption applies.
Correction Right
Please refer to the “How to Update Your Information” section to update your Personal Information.
A California, Colorado, Connecticut, Oregon, Virginia or Montana consumer also has the right to request that we correct inaccurate Personal Information that we collected from you and maintain. While submitting your request to correct inaccurate Personal Information, we will provide instructions for you to provide us with optional documentation to support your request and we will consider it. We may decline to correct your allegedly inaccurate Personal Information if a legal exemption applies. We may also decide to delete your Personal Information rather than correcting it.
Appeal Right
A Colorado, Connecticut, Oregon, Virginia or Montana consumer has the right to appeal our decision to deny, in full or in part, your exercise of privacy rights by submitting a request to appeal. We will process appeal requests within 45 days of receipt, subject to any applicable exemptions and extensions permitted by law. If we deny your appeal, we will provide you with a written explanation of the reasons for our decision. If you are not satisfied with our explanation for the denial of your appeal, you may contact your state Attorney General to submit a complaint about the appeal results and we will provide you with instructions for doing so.
How to Make a Rights Request
If you are a resident of a state with a relevant right as explained above you may submit your request(s) by any of the methods below.
Depending on the type of request made, we may require you to provide information including, but not limited to the following: name, email address, and date of birth to reasonably verify your identity. We will attempt to match the information you provided with the information in our records. We will not be able to process Access, Correction, or Deletion requests until we have verified your identity. Our verification process will take into consideration the type and sensitivity of information requested, and any risk of harm posed by any unauthorized access, deletion, or correction.
