You may be able to change the preferences on your device to prevent or limit your device's acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features. Our partners may also transmit cookies to your device, for example, if you were to click on ads that may appear on the Services. We may also collect and provide this information to our partners and our partners may use such information to understand how often and in what ways people use our Services, so that they, too, can provide you with an optimal experience.
If you click on a link on our Website to a third party website, such third party may collect your personal information. This Privacy Policy does not cover the data collection or usage of these by any third parties.

The Security of Your Information
How We Secure Your Information
We store the information we collect in cloud-based databases hosted third party sub-processor companies, whose identities are available upon request.

Additionally, if you make an account with us, your account is protected by a password for your privacy and security. If you access your account via a third party site or service (e.g. Facebook or Twitter sign-on), you may have additional or different sign-on protections associated with that third party site or service's security practices. You should prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password and/or other sign-on mechanism appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account.
While we endeavor to protect the privacy of your account and other Personal Information we obtain, since no security system is impenetrable, we cannot guarantee the complete security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.

However, if you later register for a Nitto product again, your name will be removed from the Do Not Email list.
Please note that while Nitto will not freely distribute the information you submit, if you click to unsubscribe from mailings sent to the Nitto.com Opt-In Marketing List from a particular marketer, we are obligated to share your email address with that marketer for the purpose of being added to their Do Not Mail list. How that mailer manages your email address after that time is beyond Nitto.com control.
