Demographic and Survey Information: Pompeian may use demographic information in connection with the provision of its Pompeian Site or for administrative, management, and monitoring purposes. In addition, Pompeian may generate, maintain, and share survey results and aggregated demographic data collected through the Site with its affiliates, business partners, the general public, the news media, and with the U.S. Government and state governments, not only as may be required by law, but also for promotional purposes, for release to third parties, and to participate in government programs and initiatives.

Cookies and Similar Identifier Technologies.
Pompeian or its vendors may use cookies, identifiers, and/or other similar data collection or tracking techniques to enhance and/or monitor your experience while using the Pompeian Site. Cookies and other related techniques are generally pieces of information or processes, which Pompeian uses for record-keeping purposes and which the Pompeian Site may transfer to Pompeian and/or your computer’s mobile device or web browser for storage on Pompeian’s server(s) or your device or computer’s memory. We may use different types of cookies (small, storable text file), namely, those that are “session” oriented (and temporary) and those that are “persistent.” Session cookies expire when you stop use, e.g., close your app or browser. Persistent cookies are stored by your app or browser in order to retain information for later use until deletion or expiration. In connection with the Pompeian Site, we may also employ proprietary or third-party ad serving technologies that use cookies, clear GIFs, web beacons, tracking pixels, or other technologies to collect information as a result of ad serving through the Pompeian Site.
Cookies and other related techniques (web beacons) enable Pompeian to manage and/or customize your experience on the Pompeian Site. Cookies and other related techniques also ease use and navigation of the Pompeian Site by automatically performing certain functions. In addition, Pompeian may use cookies and other related techniques to monitor and maintain aggregated information about your use of the Pompeian Site to assist with monitoring and management and to compile statics regarding usage.
Many consider the use of cookies or similar data collection to be industry standard practices. Consequently, your mobile device or Web browser is likely set to accept cookies or allow other identifiers. If you would prefer not to receive cookies or allow identifiers, however, you can alter the configuration of your mobile device or browser to refuse cookies or surf anonymously. If you choose to have your mobile device or browser refuse cookies (or other identifiers) or surf or use the Pompeian Site anonymously, you should understand that it is possible that some areas or aspects of the Pompeian Site will not function properly or as quickly.
Links to Third-Party Sites.
To the extent hyperlinks or gateways (including through advertisements) are utilized to access external or third-party sites (not controlled, owned, or operated by Pompeian), you should be aware that these external or third-party sites may collect PII and are not subject to this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy applies only to the Pompeian Site. Pompeian suggests that you check the privacy policies of other websites to determine how the proprietors of these third-party sites will utilize your PII.
Social Media.
The Pompeian Site may include or enable connection to a social media network(s) and its features with which you create or have an existing account. These features may enable the collection or sharing of certain PII with the social media network operator(s), such as integrating contact information or sharing certain transactional information, such as which page you are visiting on Pompeian’s Site. These social media arrangements may also set a cookie or other identifier to facilitate the sharing of PII or integration of certain social media features. Social media features are either hosted by a third party or accessed through the Pompeian Site. Your interactions with these social media features are governed by the privacy policy of the social media network operator providing them. Please review the privacy policy of any social media network to which you connect.
Data Security.
You should maintain your password or other access credentials in a confidential manner. Pompeian maintains commercially reasonable data security measures for the Pompeian Site to protect the PII under its control against unauthorized access, loss, and disclosure. These measures include the implementation of reasonable (or required by law) technical, physical, and administrative data security safeguards.
Unfortunately, no security is 100% secure, particularly data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network over which Pompeian has not control. As a result, while Pompeian strives to protect information, Pompeian cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information and particularly, any information transmitted using the Pompeian Site. You use the Pompeian Site at your own risk.
Records Retention.
We retain information for as long as is required, allowed or Pompeian believes it useful, but we are not otherwise obligated to retain information for any period of time. Subject to applicable law, Pompeian may dispose of your information in our sole discretion without notice. If you contact us by mail, voice, email, or any other form for transmission, we may keep a record of your correspondence, including any information contained therein.
Opt-Out.
The collection, use, and sharing of your PII may be necessary for Pompeian to provide certain services, programs, information, or materials made available on the Pompeian Site, and to operate and/or improve the Pompeian Site. However, upon request, Pompeian will (a) correct or update your personal information; (b) stop sharing your personal information with other entities for their marketing purposes; (c) disable your account to prevent any future correspondence through that account; and (d) honor any opt-out request made in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. You can make any such request by emailing. Users may specifically opt-out of including the PII they provide to Pompeian and in particular, in connection with the following activities: (i) surveys; (ii) email communications (with the exception Pompeian Site updates), newsletters, or postal or facsimile communications sent by Pompeian; and (iii) sharing arrangements with Pompeian’s vendors or business partners to facilitate communication or advertising. Pompeian also recommends reviewing your mobile device or browser settings to determine if additional opt-outs are available.
What about Children?
Pompeian cares about the safety of children on its Pompeian Site and encourages parents and guardians to monitor their children’s use of the Internet. Although the Pompeian Site is suitable for a general audience, the Pompeian Site is intended for use only by users who are over eighteen (18) years of age. Accordingly, Pompeian does not knowingly solicit PII from or send direct requests for PII to children. If you become aware that your child has provided PII to Pompeian, please contact Pompeian immediately.
Governing Law.
This Privacy Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland. If you are located outside of the United States when you use the Pompeian Site, any information you submit or provide to or through the Pompeian Site will be transferred to the United States. Accordingly, you therefore authorize the transfer of your PII to the United States.
Changes in Pompeian’s Privacy Policy.
Pompeian reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If Pompeian makes changes to this Privacy Policy, Pompeian will post those changes at this location or otherwise provide you notice of any material changes.
