We encourage our users to read the privacy policies of each website and application with which they interact. We do not endorse, screen, or approve, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices or content of such other websites or applications. Providing personal information to third-party websites or applications is at your own risk.
5. THIRD PARTY LINKS, CONTENT, AND EMBEDS
A. Third-Party Links and ContentWe may provide links to or embed videos hosted by third-party websites, services, and applications, such as YouTube, that are not operated or controlled by The Breasties. This Privacy Statement does not apply to third-party services, and we cannot take responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service before providing any information to or through them. The Services may include an activity feed, social media buttons and widgets, such as the Facebook "Like" button or the "Share This" button. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the third-party service that provides the feature.
B. Embeds
The Breasties does not host some of the content displayed on our Services. Users may post content that is hosted by a third party but is embedded in our pages (an “Embed”). When you interact with an Embed, it can send information about your interaction to the hosting third party just as if you were visiting the third party’s site directly. For example, when you load a post page with a YouTube video Embed and watch the video, YouTube receives information about your activity, such as your IP address and how much of the video you watch. The Breasties does not control what information third parties collect through Embeds or what they do with the information. This Privacy Statement does not apply to information collected through Embeds. The privacy policy belonging to the third party hosting the Embed applies to any information the Embed collects, and we recommend you review that policy before interacting with the Embed.
6. YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES AND RIGHTS
A. Your Privacy Choices. The privacy choices you may have about your personal information are described below.
• Account Management and Deletion. Account holders can manage and delete their personal information processed by Breasties by either navigating to the Settings or by sending an email to gro.seitsaerbeht%40olleh with “Account Deletion” in the subject line. Please note if you choose to delete your account, we may continue to retain certain information about you as required by law or for our legitimate business purposes including, but not limited to:
o Exercise our legitimate business interests, such as fraud detection and prevention and enhancing safety against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activity, and/or to prosecute those responsible for such activity;o Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or comply with applicable law;o Perform our contract to which you are a party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract;o Perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in The Breasties;o Identify, debug, and/or repair errors that impair intended functionality;o Exercise free speech and ensure the right of others to exercise their free speech or another right provided by law;o Complete a transaction and/or provide a good or service requested by you or reasonably anticipated by you within the context of the business relationship, or to otherwise perform the contract;o Protect your vital interests or the vital interests of others; ando As otherwise permitted under applicable law.
• Email Communications. If you receive an unwanted email from us, you can use the unsubscribe functionality found at the bottom of the email to opt out of receiving future emails. Note that you will continue to receive transaction-related emails. We may also send you certain non-promotional communications regarding us and the Services, and you will not be able to opt out of those communications (e.g., communications regarding the Services or updates to this Privacy Statement).
• Text Messages. If you receive an unwanted text/SMS message from us, you may opt out of receiving future text messages from us by following the instructions in the text message you have received from us or by otherwise contacting us as set forth in “Contact Us” below.
• Mobile Devices. We may send you push notifications through our mobile application. You may opt out from receiving these push notifications by changing the settings on your mobile device. With your consent, we may also collect precise location-based information via our mobile application. You may opt out of this collection by changing the settings on your mobile device. To request deletion of your account, please use the standard deletion functionality available via the Services or contact us using the information set forth in “Contact Us” below.
• Do Not Track signals and Global Privacy Control. Certain web browsers and other programs may transmit “do-not-track” “opt-out” signals, also called a Global Privacy Control (or “GPC”) signal (we refer to these as “GPC Signals”), to websites with which the browser communicates. In most cases you will need to change your web browser’s settings or add an application to your web browser to enable your browser to send a GPC Signal. Our websites will recognize GPC Signals for website users differently, based on the location of the user when they access our websites. For users that access our websites from U.S. states that have laws requiring recognition of GPC Signals, we will recognize and apply the GPC Signal to inactivate all the cookies for that website, except for cookies that are necessary for the website to operate. Additionally, if you are accessing our websites from one of these states, you can determine if your browser GPC Signal has been recognized by clicking on the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the footer of the website and checking that appropriate cookies have been turned off. For users from states not currently requiring recognition of the GPC Signal, our website servers may recognize and apply the GPC Signal for only advertising and social media cookies but will not apply the GPC Signal to functional or performance cookies. You can always check and adjust your cookie settings by going to the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the footer of this website.
Some web browsers incorporate other "do-not-track" (“DNT”) or similar features that signals to websites with which the browser communicates that a visitor does not want to have their online activity tracked. As of the Effective Date, not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, we along with many other digital service operators do not respond to all DNT signals. We recognize GPC signals as required under certain state privacy laws, but we do not currently recognize other DNT signals. For more information about the Global Privacy Control, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org.
• Cookies. You may stop or restrict the placement of Technologies on your device or remove them by adjusting your preferences as your browser or device permits. However, if you adjust your preferences, the Services may not work properly.
Please note that cookie-based opt-outs are not effective on mobile applications. However, you may opt-out of certain tracking on some mobile applications by following the instructions for Android, iOS, and others.
The online advertising industry also provides mechanisms that may allow you to opt out of receiving targeted ads from organizations that participate in self-regulatory programs. To learn more, visit the Network Advertising Initiative, the Digital Advertising Alliance, and the European Digital Advertising Alliance.
Please note you must separately opt out in each browser and on each device.
B. Your Privacy Rights. In accordance with applicable law, you may have the right to:
• Right to Information. You may have the right to be informed about what personal information is collected and by whom, how it is processed, with whom it is shared, and how to exercise applicable rights in a clear and easily accessible format;

• Right to Data Portability. You may have the right, in limited circumstances, to receive an electronic copy of your personal information and/or have it transferred to another individual or legal entity as per your request; and
• Right to Withdraw Your Consent. When the processing of your personal information is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note your withdrawal will only affect future processing of personal information previously collected.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us as set forth in “Contact Us” below. We will process such requests in accordance with applicable laws.
Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf in certain jurisdictions, may make a request to exercise the rights listed above regarding your personal information.

To protect your privacy, we will take steps to verify your identity before fulfilling requests submitted under applicable privacy laws.

These countries may or may not have adequate data protection laws as defined by the data protection authority in your country.
If we transfer personal information from the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and/or the United Kingdom to a country that does not provide an adequate level of protection under applicable data protection laws, one of the safeguards we may use to support such transfer is the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we may consider applicable legal requirements, the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, certain risk factors, the purposes for which we process your personal information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.

ANNEX A – SUPPLEMENTAL CONSUMER HEALTH DATA PRIVACY STATEMENT
This Supplemental Consumer Health Data Privacy Statement (“Consumer Health Data Privacy Statement”) supplements The Breasties’ Privacy Statement.
This Consumer Health Data Privacy Statement only applies to personal information that we process that is “consumer health data” subject to the Washington My Health My Data Act (“MHMDA”) or Nevada Senate Bill 370 (“NV SB 370”) (as applicable).
Terms used in this Consumer Health Data Privacy Statement that are defined in MHMDA or NV SB 370 will have the meaning set forth in those laws to the extent such laws are applicable.
1. CONSUMER HEALTH DATA WE COLLECT
Under the MHMDA, “consumer health data” is defined as “personal information that is linked or reasonably linkable to a consumer and that identifies the consumer's past, present, or future physical or mental health status.”
Under NV SB 370, “consumer health data” is defined as “personally identifiable information that is linked or reasonably capable of being linked to a consumer and that a regulated entity uses to identify the past, present or future health status of the consumer.”
Because consumer health data is defined very broadly, many of the categories of personal information that we collect under our Privacy Statement may also be considered consumer health data.
Examples of consumer health data that you may provide to us, or that we may otherwise collect, may include:
• Information that could identify your attempt to seek health care services or information, including services that allow you to assess, measure, improve, or learn about your or another person’s health.
