Many Internet browsers allow you to disable HTML5 local storage or delete information contained in HTML5 local storage using browser controls.

Web beacons. Web beacons can be embedded in web pages, videos, or emails, and can allow a web server to read certain types of information from your browser, check whether you have viewed a particular web page or email message, and determine, among other things, the time and date on which you viewed the Web beacon, the IP address of your computer, and the URL of the web page from which the Web beacon was viewed.

Protection of Information

TWIG® uses industry standard security measures to protect the information under our control, including firewalls and other security measures. Although the inherent dangers of the Internet mean we cannot guarantee the protection of your information against loss, misuse, or alteration, TWIG® takes steps to protect your personal information.

Children’s Information The Services are intended to be used by adults and corporate entities interested in TWIG®. They are not intended for children, and TWIG® does not knowingly collect or store personal information about children under the age of 13.

Do Not Track Signal

Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the websites with which the user communicates. We do not currently take action in response to those signals. If an industry standard on responding to such signals is established and accepted, we may reassess how to respond to those signals.
