Cookies and Similar Technologies
We and our third party analytics and marketing partners use cookies, pixels, tags, web beacons, web server logs, and other tracking technologies on our websites and other Services to collect information from your browser or device. We use these technologies for various purposes, including (i) customizing our users’ use of our Services, such as remembering your customized user preferences or your login; (ii) delivering content tailored to our users' interests and the manner in which our users use our Services; (iii) providing you information and ads that we and the third parties we work with believe may be of interest to you; (iv) managing our Services and other aspects of our business; and (v) better understanding usage of the Services, such as determining which areas of the Services users prefer.

You may have the following choices available to you:
Email and Text Messages. You may opt out of receiving future commercial email or text messages from us by following the opt-out instructions in emails or texts we send you. For example, you can reply STOP to unsubscribe from text messages from the seller sending the text message. Please be aware that, if you opt out of receiving commercial email or text messages from us, it may take up to ten (10) business days for us to process your opt-out request, and you may receive commercial email or text messages from us during that period. Please note that if you opt out of future text messages, this opt-out list is separate from our email preferences and opt-out lists.
Even if you opt out of receiving commercial emails, we may still correspond with you about your existing or past business relationships with us (e.g., any purchase of our products or use of our services, or responses to your requests for information either through the Services or other means). We may also access and view your information in the course of maintaining and improving the Services.
Cookies and Similar Technologies. You may be able to refuse or disable cookies by adjusting your web browser settings. Some browsers have options that allow the visitor to control whether the browser will accept cookies, reject cookies, or notify the visitor each time a cookie is sent. Because each web browser is different, please consult the instructions provided by your web browser (typically in the “help” section).If you choose to refuse, disable, or delete these technologies, some of the functionality of the Services may no longer be available to you. You may also be able to opt-out of receiving certain advertising tailored to your interests by third parties through the Network Advertising Initiative website, an independent website not sponsored by or affiliated with us.
Other Device Settings. Your device may have settings that allow you to prevent sharing geolocation information with us. You should consult your device’s settings or help documentation for more information about exercising these options.
Do-Not-Track Signals. Some mobile and web browsers transmit "do-not-track" signals. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. We currently do not take action in response to these signals.
Depending on where you live, you may also have the following rights and choices:
Access, Portability, Correction, and Deletion Rights. You also may have the right to request access (including to a copy of your personal information in a portable format), correction, or deletion of your personal information under applicable laws. These rights apply only in certain circumstances, which means we may be unable (e.g., due to legal requirements) or not obligated to satisfy your request. Once we receive your request, we may verify it by requesting information sufficient to confirm your identity.
To submit requests to access, correct or delete personal information, please use our webform or email us at csg@mavis.com. You may be entitled, in accordance with applicable law, to submit a request through an authorized agent or to appeal a refusal to take action on your request. To designate an authorized agent or appeal, please follow the same instructions above. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
We do not engage in automated profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
How We Protect Personal Information
We take reasonable precautions to maintain the protection of the personal information we collect and use through the Services, including through the use of physical, electronic and procedural measures. However, no system for transmitting or storing information electronically can be completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that personal information or other communications will always remain secure.
