Online Tracking and Advertising and Your Rights
We may use cookies, Web beacons, marketing pixels or other technologies to deliver
more relevant advertising and to link data collected across other computers or devices
that you may use.
Some states provide residents or, in some cases, their authorized agents, with the right
to opt out of the “selling” or “sharing” of their “personal information”, or of “targeted
advertising” based on their “personal information.” To submit a request to opt out you
may click the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in our website
footer or in our application settings. Please note that your opt-out choice is specific to
the digital property and to the device and browser you are using. If you clear your
cookies on your browser or use another browser or device, you may need to opt out
again. Importantly, you may also choose to provide the information requested in this
opt out form, which may enable us to take action on your opt-out request more
broadly than for a specific digital property, including on properties where you are a
registered user.
Finally, on your mobile device or in your browser or operating system settings, you
may also adjust your privacy and advertising settings to control whether you receive
more relevant advertising. By doing so, you may not be able to use certain features in
the Services or take full advantage of all of our offerings. Please refer to your
browser's or operating system's website "Help" section for more information on how
to control your tracking preferences.

use, or sharing of information by Bworld Plex for other purposes, such as those
relating to the access, processing, fulfillment, or delivery of the Services.

measures that are designed to protect user information from unauthorized access,
disclosure, use and modification. From time to time, we review our security
procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods. Please be aware
though that, despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.
We will retain your personal information for the length of time needed to fulfill the
purposes outlined in the Bworld Plex Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period
is required or permitted by applicable law.
