WEBSITES?
In Short: We are not responsible for the safety of any information that you
share with third parties that we may link to or who advertise on our
Services, but are not affiliated with, our Services.
The Services may link to third-party websites, online services, or mobile
applications and/or contain advertisements from third parties that are not
affiliated with us and which may link to other websites, services, or
applications. Accordingly, we do not make any guarantee regarding any
such third parties, and we will not be liable for any loss or damage caused
by the use of such third-party websites, services, or applications. The
inclusion of a link towards a third-party website, service, or application does
not imply an endorsement by us. We cannot guarantee the safety and
privacy of data you provide to any third-party websites. Any data collected
by third parties is not covered by this Privacy Notice. We are not
responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of
any third parties, including other websites, services, or applications that

such third parties and contact them directly to respond to your questions.
5. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING
TECHNOLOGIES?
In Short: We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect
and store your information.
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons
and pixels) to gather information when you interact with our Services.
Some online tracking technologies help us maintain the security of our
Services and your account, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your
preferences, and assist with basic site functions.
We also permit third parties and service providers to use online tracking
technologies on our Services for analytics and advertising, including to help
manage and display advertisements, to tailor advertisements to your
interests, or to send abandoned shopping cart reminders (depending on
your communication preferences). The third parties and service providers
use their technology to provide advertising about products and services
tailored to your interests which may appear either on our Services or on
other websites.
To the extent these online tracking technologies are deemed to be a
"sale"/"sharing" (which includes targeted advertising, as defined under the
applicable laws) under applicable US state laws, you can opt out of these
online tracking technologies by submitting a request as described below
under section "DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC
PRIVACY RIGHTS?"
Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can
refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice.

the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms
page.
6. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS?
In Short: If you choose to register or log in to our Services using a social
media account, we may have access to certain information about you.
Our Services offer you the ability to register and log in using your third party social media account details (like your Facebook or X logins). Where
you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you
from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may
vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often
include your name, email address, friends list, and profile picture, as well
as other information you choose to make public on such a social media
platform.
We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are
described in this Privacy Notice or that are otherwise made clear to you on
the relevant Services. Please note that we do not control, and are not
responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party
social media provider. We recommend that you review their privacy notice
to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information,
and how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.
7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the
purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary
for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention
period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other
legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your
personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have
an account with us.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your
personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information,
or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information
has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your
personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion
is possible.
8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of
organizational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and
organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any
personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and
efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the
Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100%
secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or
other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and
improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we
will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of
personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You
should only access the Services within a secure environment.
9. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM
MINORS?
In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children
under 18 years of age.
We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under
18 years of age, nor do we knowingly sell such personal information. By
using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are
the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor
dependent's use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from
users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the
account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from
our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from
children under age 18, please contact us at __________.
10. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time,
depending on your country, province, or state of residence.
Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying on your consent to process
your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent
depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your
consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by
contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section "HOW
CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.
However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the
processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it
affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on
lawful processing grounds other than consent.
Account Information
If you would at any time like to review or change the information in your
account or terminate your account, you can:
Log in to your account settings and update your user account.
Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete
your account and information from our active databases. However, we may
retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems,
assist with any investigations, enforce our legal terms and/or comply with
applicable legal requirements.
Cookies and similar technologies: Most Web browsers are set to accept
cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your
browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove
cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of
our Services. You may also opt out of interest-based advertising by
advertisers on our Services.
If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may
email us at steve@sdcfans.com.
11. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile
applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can
activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your
online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform
technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has
been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser
signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your
choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted
that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a
revised version of this Privacy Notice.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser
DNT signals. Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard
for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this
time.

SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?

Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Montana, New Hampshire,

In Short: We are not responsible for the safety of any information that you
share with third parties that we may link to or who advertise on our
Services, but are not affiliated with, our Services.
The Services may link to third-party websites, online services, or mobile
applications and/or contain advertisements from third parties that are not
affiliated with us and which may link to other websites, services, or
applications. Accordingly, we do not make any guarantee regarding any
such third parties, and we will not be liable for any loss or damage caused
by the use of such third-party websites, services, or applications. The
inclusion of a link towards a third-party website, service, or application does
not imply an endorsement by us. We cannot guarantee the safety and
privacy of data you provide to any third-party websites. Any data collected
by third parties is not covered by this Privacy Notice. We are not
responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of
any third parties, including other websites, services, or applications that

such third parties and contact them directly to respond to your questions.
5. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING
TECHNOLOGIES?
In Short: We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect
and store your information.
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons
and pixels) to gather information when you interact with our Services.
Some online tracking technologies help us maintain the security of our
Services and your account, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your
preferences, and assist with basic site functions.
We also permit third parties and service providers to use online tracking
technologies on our Services for analytics and advertising, including to help
manage and display advertisements, to tailor advertisements to your
interests, or to send abandoned shopping cart reminders (depending on
your communication preferences). The third parties and service providers
use their technology to provide advertising about products and services
tailored to your interests which may appear either on our Services or on
other websites.
To the extent these online tracking technologies are deemed to be a
"sale"/"sharing" (which includes targeted advertising, as defined under the
applicable laws) under applicable US state laws, you can opt out of these
online tracking technologies by submitting a request as described below
under section "DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC
PRIVACY RIGHTS?"
Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can
refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice.

the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms
page.
6. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS?
In Short: If you choose to register or log in to our Services using a social
media account, we may have access to certain information about you.
Our Services offer you the ability to register and log in using your third party social media account details (like your Facebook or X logins). Where
you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you
from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may
vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often
include your name, email address, friends list, and profile picture, as well
as other information you choose to make public on such a social media
platform.
We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are
described in this Privacy Notice or that are otherwise made clear to you on
the relevant Services. Please note that we do not control, and are not
responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party
social media provider. We recommend that you review their privacy notice
to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information,
and how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.
7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the
purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary
for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention
period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other
legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your
personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have
an account with us.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your
personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information,
or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information
has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your
personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion
is possible.
8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of
organizational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and
organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any
personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and
efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the
Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100%
secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or
other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and
improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we
will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of
personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You
should only access the Services within a secure environment.
9. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM
MINORS?
In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children
under 18 years of age.
We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under
18 years of age, nor do we knowingly sell such personal information. By
using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are
the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor
dependent's use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from
users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the
account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from
our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from
children under age 18, please contact us at __________.
10. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time,
depending on your country, province, or state of residence.
Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying on your consent to process
your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent
depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your
consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by
contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section "HOW
CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.
However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the
processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it
affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on
lawful processing grounds other than consent.
Account Information
If you would at any time like to review or change the information in your
account or terminate your account, you can:
Log in to your account settings and update your user account.
Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete
your account and information from our active databases. However, we may
retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems,
assist with any investigations, enforce our legal terms and/or comply with
applicable legal requirements.
Cookies and similar technologies: Most Web browsers are set to accept
cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your
browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove
cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of
our Services. You may also opt out of interest-based advertising by
advertisers on our Services.
If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may
email us at steve@sdcfans.com.
11. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile
applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can
activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your
online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform
technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has
been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser
signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your
choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted
that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a
revised version of this Privacy Notice.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser
DNT signals. Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard
for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this
time.
