Cookies
We use cookies (a small text file placed on your computer to identify your computer and web browser) and may use anonymous identifiers (a random string of characters that is used for the same purposes as a cookie). We use cookies and other similar technologies to analyze use of and improve This Website and the Services and as described in the Advertising and Online Tracking Section of this Privacy Policy. Most web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. Your browser may give you the ability to control cookies or other tracking tools. How you do so depends on the type of tool. Certain browsers can be set to reject browser cookies. If you block cookies, certain features on our Website or Services may not work. If you block or reject cookies, not all of the tracking described here will stop. Some of our Service Providers may use their own cookies, anonymous identifiers, or other tracking technology in connection with the services they perform on our behalf.
This Website may provide functionality to allow you to set your cookie preferences. This functionality relies on browser cookies to store your preferences. If you subsequently clear or delete your browser's cookies, the record of your cookie preferences will also be deleted, and we will not be able to honor your request until you update your preferences again.
We use third-party data analytics tools to analyze how users use the App and Services. For example, we use Google Analytics to provide statistics and analytical tools to analyze how users use the Website. For more information about how to opt out of having your information used by Google Analytics, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
If you are a resident of New Zealand, we may use the Nielsen//NetRatings counting system to track common entry and exit points for the Website or Services, compiling anonymous information about usage of the Website and Services, and randomly and anonymously surveying users of the Website and Services. To do this, our Website and Services may include a small piece of code on each page which accumulates these statistics.

Options you make are browser and devise specific.
ChatBot Technology
We use chatbots to help provide customer service and support, including through the use of a virtual assistant. A chatbot is a software application that mimics human conversations in text or voice interactions on our website or through our customer service hotline. It enables the communication between a human and a machine, which can take the form of messages or voice commands. The chatbot is designed to work without the assistance of a human operator. It responds to questions posed to it in natural language as if it were a real person using a combination of pre-programmed scripts and machine learning algorithms. When asked a question, the chatbot will answer using the knowledge database that is currently available to it. If the conversation introduces a concept it isn’t programmed to understand; it will pass it to a human operator. If you use our chatbot service, we will collect any Personal Information you provide to us. We will also create and store a transcript of your chat interaction with us which will be shared with and stored by our third-party service provider. We use these transcripts and the information you provide for quality control, customer service, fraud prevention and security.
Advertising and Online Tracking
We may place advertisements and allow third-party companies to serve ads and collect certain information when you visit this Website or use the Services. These companies may use certain information (e.g. click stream information, web browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over) during your visits to this Website and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of interest to you (i.e., for cross-contextual behavioral advertising). These companies may also collect information about your activities on our Website on your current device and combine it with information about your activities on other websites, mobile apps, and devices. These companies typically collect such information using server logs, cookies, web beacons, tags, pixels, mobile advertising IDs (such as Facebook cookies or Google's Advertising ID), cross-device linking, and similar technologies. They may match your browsers or devices if you log into the same online service on multiple devices or if your devices share similar attributes that support an inference that they are used by the same person or household. This means that information about your activity on websites or apps on your current browser or device may be combined and used with information collected from your other browsers or devices. These third party partners use this information for our and their own advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes. Our systems do not recognize browser “Do Not Track” signals, but several of our Service Providers who utilize these cookies on this Website enable you to opt out of targeted advertising practices. To learn more about these advertising practices or to opt out of this type of advertising, you can visit www.networkadvertising.org or www.aboutads.info/choices/ (for US residents), or https://youradchoices.ca (for Canadian residents) or http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/what-are-my-options.
Some browsers or browser extensions also allow you to tell websites not to share your information for cross-contextual behavioral advertising through the “global privacy control” signal. We will respond to this signal in a frictionless manner. If you configure this setting on your browser, certain features on our site may not work and you will receive less targeted advertising.
Options you make are device specific.
Residents of some jurisdictions (e.g., California, Virginia, Colorado) have the ability to opt out of cross-contextual behavioral advertising through other means. Please see the Right to Opt-out of Sale or Sharing section below.
Managing Your Marketing Preferences
Once you have opted in to receive our marketing emails, you can opt out of receiving marketing e-mails from us by following the Unsubscribe link provided at the bottom of all marketing e-mails you receive from us. You are able to opt out of receiving marketing e-mails from us, however, if you continue to use our services we will still need to email you from time to time about your account.
Be Careful When You Share Information with Others
Please be aware that whenever you share information on any public area of this Website or the Services, that information may be accessed by others. In addition, please remember that when you share information in any other communications with third parties, that information may be passed along or made public by others. This means that anyone with access to such information can potentially use it for any purpose, including sending unsolicited communications. We cannot control and are not responsible for what such third parties may do with your information, so you should exercise caution when choosing to share it.
Security
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to help protect the confidentiality and security of information transmitted to us. It is also important for you to protect against unauthorized access of any account password or your computer. Personal information may be accessed by persons within our organization, or other entities described in this Privacy Policy, or our third-party service providers, who require such access to carry out the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.
However, no data transmission over the Internet or other network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and no security measures can provide absolute protection. As a result, while we strive to protect information transmitted on or through this Website or the Services, we cannot and do not guarantee the security of any information you transmit on or through this Website or the Services or that you otherwise provide to us, and you do so at your own risk.

You access such third-party websites or content at your own risk. You should always read the privacy policy of a third-party website before providing any information to the website.

Additionally, we may process information in multiple locations, including without limitation, the United States, Australia, Canada, Dominican Republic, the European Economic Area (“EEA”), India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, and the United Kingdom.
Although we will make all reasonable efforts to ensure your personal information is protected in accordance with our obligations, the laws in these countries may not be as protective of your privacy as those in your location. Personal information processed and stored in another country may be subject to disclosure or access requests by the governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies in that country according to its laws. By using This Website or Services, you are agreeing to the collection, use, transfer, and disclosure of your Personal Information and communications will be governed by the applicable laws in the United States and/or the applicable country of processing.

Notice to Residents of the United States
If you are a resident of California, or jurisdictions with similar laws (e.g., Colorado, Connecticut, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia), you may have certain additional privacy rights under the applicable privacy laws in your state (“State Privacy Laws”). This section generally describes those rights and how you can exercise them.
These rights are not absolute. In some situations we may not be able to process your request. This may include if a legal exception applies. These rights may be offered based on your location. We’ll let you know when or if a right doesn’t apply to you. You will not be discriminated against for exercising a privacy right. Those rights are:
We will also maintain a record of your rights requests.
Please note that if we delete your Personal Information, some of our services will not work the same. For example, your previous opt out requests will not be saved and saved preferences and information will no longer be available.
Exercising your Rights:
To exercise your rights, submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
Your verifiable consumer request must:
Note that we will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request or to review and comply with the request.
You may authorize someone to act as your agent and submit a request on your behalf. Due to the sensitivity of such requests, you must verify the agent’s authorization before we will act. Accordingly:
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm with a level of confidence appropriate to the sensitivity of the information that the Personal Information we have collected and retained in our systems and databases relates to you.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us, but if you have an account with us, we may require you to log-in to such account in order to verify your identity or authority or to provide or delete your information.
Right to Opt-out of the Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
Residents of certain jurisdictions (e.g., California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Virginia) have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of their personal data, as such terms are defined under State Privacy Laws.
Under California law, “share” means disclosing your personal information by us to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising, in exchange for money or anything else of value. Thus, when we use the term “share” under this section, we are using it in the narrow meaning of how it is defined under California law. Other State Privacy Laws do not use the term “share,” but describe the concept as using personal information for targeted advertising.
The term “sell” has a different meaning under certain State Privacy Laws. For example, under the laws of California and Colorado, “sell” means exchanging your personal information by us with a third party for money or anything else of value, while under Virginia law, “sell” is the exchange of personal information for money only.
Currently, we participate in digital advertising networks to deliver advertising that is tailored to your interests. The participation in certain ad networks can constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal data under State Privacy Laws. The categories of third parties to whom information may be disclosed in this context is our third party partners (e.g., advertisers and marketing partners and data analytics providers).
We may “sell” and/or “share” the following categories of Personal Information:
You can also opt-out by broadcasting an Opt-Out Preference Signal, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) (on the browsers and/or browser extensions that support such a signal). Note that we will only apply the request to that specific device or browser and only for cookie or pixel based selling and sharing. Thus, you will need opt out on each browser and device where you use our services. If you clear your cookie history on a particular browser or device, your opt out request will no longer be saved.
To learn more about these advertising practices or to opt out of this type of advertising of your personal data, please visit https://optout.aboutads.info/ and https://www.networkadvertising.org/ to optout. You can also opt out of the re-sale of your Personal Information by other participants in these digital advertising networks by visiting https://www.iabprivacy.com/optout.html and opting out of each participant’s digital property. Please note that, otherwise, Menadena does not presently exchange Personal Information for money with anyone, nor does Menadena otherwise “share” or “sell” Personal Information, as such terms are defined under applicable State Privacy Laws. Also, Menadena does not currently disclose Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
Right to Opt-out of Profiling
Residents of some jurisdictions (e.g., California, Colorado, Connecticut, Oregon, Texas, Virginia) - subject to certain exceptions - may have a right to opt out of forms of automated processing performed on Personal Information to evaluate, analyze or predict personal aspects related to your economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements (“Profiling”).
We engage in cookie-based or digital advertising-based Profiling. To opt out of this practice, please follow the instructions detailed above regarding opting out of the sale or sharing of your Personal Information.
We may also engage in Profiling when we assess your interaction with this Website and our Services for the purpose of providing you information on additional products and services which may be of interest to you. Note, you can opt out of marketing emails as explained in the “Managing Your Marketing Preferences” section above.
We do not otherwise engage in Profiling.
Right to Limit Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information
Residents of some jurisdictions (e.g., California) have a right to limit the processing of their sensitive Personal Information (as defined by the applicable State Privacy law). We do not collect or process sensitive Personal Information for inferring characteristics or use or disclose sensitive Personal Information for purposes other than those permitted by law and we do not sell sensitive Personal Information.

Residents of some jurisdictions (e.g., Virginia, Colorado) have a right to appeal our decision on a privacy rights request. If we were unable to fulfill your request, you may appeal our request by emailing us at privacy@menadena.com within fourteen days of our decision, and provide a detailed reason for your appeal, as well as your state of residence.
