Where legally required, affected individuals or relevant authorities may be notified according to applicable data protection laws.

23. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers provide "Do Not Track" or similar privacy signals.

Because there is not always a consistent industry standard for responding to every such signal, our website may not respond uniformly to all browser privacy signals.

Where legally required, we will honor applicable opt-out mechanisms or privacy preference signals.
