2. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

Data; together with any additional requirements under applicable law.


5. OTHER NON-PERSONAL DATA WE MAY PROCESS

We may create anonymous data records from Personal Data by excluding Personal
Data (such as your name) that make the data personally identifiable to you. We
use this anonymous data to analyze usage patterns so that we may enhance the
content of our products and services and improve site navigation. Plugin
Alliance reserves the right to use for other purposes and to disclose anonymous

6. COOKIES AND AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED DATA

To make our Site, products, and related services more useful to you, our servers

Protocol (IP) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer
when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name,
and/or a date/time stamp for your visit.  We may also use cookies, which is a
small file that is placed on your device when you visit a website (including our
Site). It records information about your device, your browser and, in some
cases, your preferences and browsing habits. We may Process your Personal Data

information for which you searched and which you viewed. Like most Internet
services, we automatically gather this Personal Data and store it in log files
each time you visit our website or access your account on our network.


7. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA

Because of the international nature of our business, we may need to transfer
your Personal Data to third parties as noted in Section (4) above, subject to
binding contractual obligations, solely in connection with the purposes set out
in this Policy. For this reason, we may transfer your Personal Data to other
countries that may have different laws and data protection compliance
requirements to those that apply in the country in which you are located.


8. THIRD PARTY WEBSITES AND TOOLS

Our provision of a link to any other website or location is for your convenience
and does not signify our endorsement of such other website or location or its
contents, products or services. When you click on such a link, you will leave
our Site and go to another site. During this process, a third party may collect
Personal Data from you. We have no control over, do not review, and cannot be
responsible for, these outside websites or their content.

Similarly, some parts of our Site may include social media integrations (such as
the Facebook “like” button or, widgets, such as the “share this” button or other
Social Media buttons provided on our Site) or other third-party features (such
as the embedded Soundcloud audio tracks).

Please be aware that the terms of this Privacy Policy do not apply to such
third-party websites, integrations, tools, content, or to any collection of data
after you click on a link to a third party. We encourage you to carefully read
the privacy statement of any third-party website you visit or tools you use.


9. NOTICE FOR CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) requires businesses like
Plugin Alliance to provide the following additional information to you:

Categories of Personal Information

This Privacy Policy lists under Section 3 “Categories of Personal Data” the

indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.

Policy. 

Your Rights

You may exercise any of the rights listed under Section 14 of this policy and
Plugin Alliance will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these

Additional California Disclosure

Plugin Alliance does not track its customers over time and across third party
websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do
Not Track (DNT) signals.

Plugin Alliance uses certain third party cookies, as provided in its Cookie
Policy and such third parties will obtain information about the fact that a web
browser visited a specific Plugin Alliance website from a certain IP address.

Note that some third party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when
they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you.
If you are visiting such sites, certain sites and browsers enable you to set the
DNT signal so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want
to be tracked. 


10. DATA SECURITY

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures
designed to protect your Personal Data against accidental or unlawful
destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, and other unlawful or

   promptly.

From time to time we may ask you to confirm the accuracy of your Personal Data.


12. DATA MINIMIZATION

We take every reasonable step to ensure that your Personal Data that we Process
is limited to the Personal Data reasonably required in connection with the
purposes set out in this Policy.


13. DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as is necessary to fulfill
our legitimate purposes, including for the purposes of providing our products
and services to you and satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting
requirements.  The criteria that we use to determine retention periods will be
determined by the nature of the data and the purposes for which it is kept and
the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure.


14. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS: ACCESSING, UPDATING AND DELETING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

   Process or control;
