Information We Collect We currently collect various types of
information from our Website visitors so that we can adjust our Website to meet our users'
anticipated needs and expectations. Some of this information is collected if you decide to share
information about yourself so we can better keep you informed about our products and other
information. In the future, we may collect additional or other information from our Website visitors

We use "cookies" and "web beacons" to:

"Cookies" are, essentially, small text files that are stored on your computer or device and
used by us to help users enjoy their experience navigating and interacting with our Website.
We also may employ "web beacons" to collect information or to determine or confirm visits to the
Website. A
"web beacon" (also known as clear GIFs, Web bugs or pixel tags), describes a tiny
(often transparent or otherwise inconspicuous) file embedded on a webpage to allow us (or a third
party engaged by us) to track who is visiting the Website, when, and from what device. The data
obtained from our use of such technology allows us (or our third party consultants or service
providers) to analyze usage and usage patterns, facilitating further development of the Website and
its features in line with visitor preferences and usage.
You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the appropriate settings on your browser. However, if
you select this setting, you may be unable to access or interact with certain parts or features of
our Website. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our
system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Website.
Taken together, cookies and web beacons, along with other information, allows us to understand how
users and visitors are finding our Website, and it tells us which pages are visited the most often
so we can make our Website more useful. It is also used to help us understand your particular
preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with
improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site
interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
Generally, the information that we collect automatically by your (and other visitors') visits to
the Website is only statistical data and does not include personal information, but we may
maintain it or associate it with personal information that we collect directly from you, obtain
in other ways, or that we receive from third parties. It helps us to improve our Website and to
deliver an optimized experience for our visitors and account holders.

and may result in follow-up communications.
Third-Party Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your "Personally Identifiable
Information" unless you provide us with authorization to do so. Such authorization from you,
however, does not include (and is not needed for) website hosting partners and other parties who
assist us in operating our Website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those
parties agree to keep such information confidential. We may also release information when the
release or sharing of such information is required or appropriate in order to comply with applicable
law, a valid subpoena or court order, the compulsory direction of a governmental agency, to enforce
our site policies, or to protect our or others' rights, property or safety.
In order to enhance our Website or how we process orders from our customers, we may share anonymized

identifiable information is disclosed and, more generally, non-personally identifiable visitor
information (that is, anonymized data) may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising,

Finally, in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, of or by NYWD, personal
information may be transferred by us to the new entity as part of the business transfer.

PLEASE NOTE THAT CERTAIN STATES , currently including:
California
Montana
Colorado
Nebraska
Connecticut
New Hampshire
Delaware
New Jersey
Florida
Oregon
Iowa
Tennessee
Kentucky
Texas
Maryland
Utah
Minnesota
Virginia
have adopted State-specific data privacy laws already in force or soon coming into force that may
provide you with additional rights concerning your personal information if you are a resident of one
of such States.
Similar State-specific laws are currently under consideration in other States and, while we will
endeavor to keep this list updated to reflect such additional States once they have adopted
their own privacy laws or such laws have come into effect, you should check with your State
officials from time to time to see if your State (if not listed above) has adopted its own data
privacy laws that may further protect or affect your rights.
If you are a California resident, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits you to request
information regarding the disclosure of your personal information by certain businesses to third
parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes, including the identity of the third
parties to which information was disclosed and the type of information that was disclosed. Please
note that, under California law, a business is only required to respond to such a request once in
any calendar year.
Because we are not sharing your personal information with any third parties to facilitate any third
parties' marketing purposes, this so-called "Shine the Light" law does not currently apply to our
collection or use of your personal information.
Legal Protections and Law Enforcement
As noted above, we may (and may be compelled to) disclose information about our users, including
your personal information, in the event that we are required to respond to subpoenas, court orders,
legal process or other valid law enforcement measures; to comply with a legal obligation; at the
request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation; to verify or enforce compliance
with the policies governing the Websites and applicable laws; or to protect the legal rights,
interests, or safety of the Websites, our users or others. We may also use device identifiers to
identify users, and may do so in cooperation with copyright owners, internet service providers or
law enforcement agencies in our discretion. Such disclosures may be carried out without notice to
you.
Our Security Measures; Your Cooperation
We prioritize the security of your data by employing industry-standard measures, including
encryption, firewalls, secure transmission protocols, access controls and routine security audits to
mitigate the risk of unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. We and our service
providers also reassess from time to time whether such measures are at least consistent with the
measures employed by other similar websites. This includes protecting the personal information
submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.
Please note that the safety and security of your information also depends on you.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our
Website, or in connection with an account that you establish with us, you are responsible for
keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure,
however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal
information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Please note that, as a convenience to our Website visitors and users, we may from time to time
provide links to other websites, webpages or Apps that may be of interest. We may add, remove or
change any such links at any time and from time to time. We are not responsible for the content,
terms of use or privacy practices of any such other websites, webpages or Apps, even if links to
them are provided on our Website. If you choose to connect to any other website, webpage or any App
via links provided on or through our Website, you do so at your own risk, and you should read and
familiarize yourself with the privacy policies of such other website owners or App developers to
determine how they collect and use personally identifiable information in connection with your visit
to their website, webpages or your downloading and using their App, as NYWD is not responsible for
the actions or omissions of any such third parties over which we have no control.

If we decide to make any changes to this Privacy Policy, we will post those changes to this Privacy
Policy statement, our Website's homepage, or to such other places we deem appropriate so that our
