DO NOT TRACK DISCLOSURES
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that visitors can set in their web browsers. When a visitor turns on DNT, the browser sends a message to websites requesting that they don’t track the visitor.

Incident response reports are sent to our host servers and security team. These reports are stored for 90 days and then erased.
