Third party websites and services.
Our websites may contain links to third party websites and services with which we have no affiliation, and who may adopt different data protection and privacy policies than us. A link to or other availability of any third party website or service does not mean we endorse it, or the quality or accuracy of the information presented on it. When you click on one of those links, you are entering another website over which we have no control and will bear no responsibility. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to those third party websites and services, we encourage you to carefully review the legal and privacy policies of those third parties if you decide to visit their websites and/or use their services.
