9. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can
activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no
uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT
browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online
tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Notice.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT signals. Because there currently is not an industry or legal
standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time.
