Facts and Figures Obtained Mechanically
A cookie or local storage will be transferred to your computer when you visit the Site, and your browser will be uniquely identified based on the information contained in the cookie and your browser’s settings. When you visit a website, the server sends your browser a small file containing a string of characters, which is then stored on your device. This is known as a “cookie” or “local storage.” Cookies are small text files stored on your computer that identify your browser and keep track of data related to the display of advertisements on your browser, such as the types of advertisements displayed and the websites on which they appeared. Many of our advertising partners use tracking technologies (such as cookies) on our Site and combine data gathered from our Site with data gathered independently throughout their network of websites. Affiliated advertising networks gather and utilize this data in accordance with their own privacy rules. Our affiliate marketing partners may use tracking cookies to compile information about you from the content you visit with information they already have.
To accomplish the following, we employ the following cookie varieties throughout the Site:
Known as “analytics cookies” or “performance cookies,” their purpose is to help us understand how visitors interact with and navigate our site. It includes the total number of visitors, the referring websites, the specific pages viewed, the time of day, return visits, and similar data. This data is used for operational purposes, to compile aggregate demographic information, and to track overall Site activity. Google Analytics is also utilized for this goal. Google Analytics gives us access to demographic data collected through its own cookies (i.e., third-party cookies).
Strictly Necessary/Functional Cookies: These cookies are essential in order to offer the Site and its services to you.
When you click on a social media sharing button or “like” button on our Site, or interact with our content on or through social media, you may be using a social media cookie. Your actions on social media sites will be tracked.
Advertising and targeted cookies help us tailor content to your interests and remember your preferences across visits to our Site. Advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests can be displayed based on the information gathered by targeted cookies when you visit different websites. Some cookies analyze your online habits to assign you to a category of users with similar tastes. Using this data, third-party advertisers are able to install cookies on our Site in order to display advertisements that we or they believe are more likely to be of interest to you. We or they can use the information stored in these cookies to provide you with content that is relevant to the region in which you are now located.
Crispy Cookies
A Flash cookie is a little piece of data stored on your device by the Adobe Flash plugin, which may be preinstalled on your browser or downloaded from Adobe’s website. Flash cookies can be used for many things, such as remembering your preferences and allowing you to use a particular Flash feature. Learn more about Adobe Flash and the privacy controls it provides by clicking here. Some of the Site’s features may stop working if you change your Flash privacy settings.
Digitized Stickers Known as Pixel Tags
Pixel tags are used to track user activity on the Site and compile aggregated statistics that can be shared with our development team and third-party service providers. In addition to the IP address of the computer retrieving the page on which the tag appears, the URL of the page on which the tag appears, the time (and length of time) the page containing the pixel tag was viewed, the type of browser that retrieved the pixel tag, and the identification number of any cookie previously placed by that server on your computer, can all be collected by a pixel tag. Pixel tags, which may be provided by us or by our advertisers, social media sites, affiliate partners, or ad networks, are used in conjunction with cookies to compile information about your use of our Site, such as the pages you view, the links you click, and the other actions you take in connection with our Site. Ad networks can use pixel tags to show you relevant ads when you visit our Site or other sites you visit.

SECURITY OF DATA
Taking into account the risks associated with the processing and the nature of the information, we take reasonable precautions to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, we cannot guarantee the security of any information because no website, application, Internet, or email transmission is ever completely secure or error free.
Transferring Data Overseas
Our reach is global, and so are our operations. Our data centers are located in the USA. However, we and our partners may collect and store data in multiple locations around the world. Data collected on the Site may be accessed by personnel or contractors in other countries. Some of our affiliates and service providers may operate out of, or have access to data stored in, a foreign country. When you use our Site or otherwise provide information to us, you understand that this data may be transferred to, stored in, and accessed from the United States and possibly other countries across the world for Site maintenance and support purposes.
Data protection rules in the countries to which we transfer information may differ from, and be less stringent than, those in your home country. Your data may be transferred to, stored in, or accessed from a country that does not provide the same level of protection as the country in which you reside.
If you are an EEA resident and your personal data is transferred outside of the EEA, we will either process your information in a territory that the European Commission has determined provides an adequate level of protection for personal information, or else we will implement appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information, including transferring it in accordance with the applicable transfer mechanism, including the European Commission’s stand on the matter. For more information, see the Privacy Rights of European Union Citizens.

Right to Refuse Disclosure, Sharing, or Sale of Personal Data.
We do not engage in the practice commonly referred to as “selling” personal information.

We allow you the choice to request that we not “sell” or “share” your personal information. This data is sold to or shared with our Advertising Partners or customers.
To protect the privacy of our users, we do not ask for or store any information that could reveal their age. When we get demographic data from outside sources, we typically only get age brackets.

You have the right to opt out of the sale or disclosure of your personal information to third parties at any time to the extent that we engage in such activities, as those words are defined in the CCPA.

Using Your Privacy Rights Under the CCPA or VCDPA
Contacting Worldlynation via phone or email is how Californians and Virginians can exercise their respective CCPA and VCDPA rights. Only you or your authorized representative may exercise your rights. Two CCPA requests for information are permitted per calendar year.
All requests for access to personal information must include sufficient information for us to reasonably verify that you are the individual or authorized representative for whom the information was collected. This may involve, for example, (1) verifying your account information if you have an account with us, or (2) requesting two forms of identification that are reliable for verification purposes, unless the information requested is particularly sensitive, in which case we may require three forms of verification. The details you provide should help us comprehend, assess, and react to your inquiry.
If we are unable to verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information in question does in fact pertain to you, we will be unable to fulfill your request. We cannot consent to your request if we cannot confirm your identity or authority. We will only use personal data submitted in the request to authenticate the requestor’s identity or authorisation to make it.
You may submit a request through a designated agent. If someone else is making a request on your behalf, they must be told to identify themselves as your agent, provide any necessary documentation, and be ready to provide the personal information we need to identify you in our system.
