We may also gather information about, and monitor, your use of the Sites and Services and may work with third-parties to assist us in doing so.

For example, with a "cookie," a website sends a text file to your browser. The information generated by the cookie about your use of a website (which can include your Internet protocol (IP) address, clickstream data, and connection information) will be stored. While many browsers automatically accept cookies, you should be able to modify your browser to decline cookies if you prefer; however, certain website features might not work without cookies. This site uses temporary "session" cookies in order for you to view content and browse the Sites. "Persistent" cookies may be used to help you navigate the Sites more efficiently.
Additional Information
While it may be obvious, if the Sites or Services contain links to websites controlled by third-parties, We are not responsible for those sites or any actions taken by those third-parties, including how they may use information they collect about you.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Privacy Policy, we will release information when it believes disclosing it is reasonably necessary (1) to comply with applicable laws, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, or (2) to investigate or enforce violations of our rights or protect the rights, property or safety of NC Software, Inc.

If you need help, we can assist you with reasonable requests in managing information over which we have control.

Analytics
We use the newest version of Google Analytics (Google Analytics 4), which is privacy-focused (things like IP addresses are not logged or stored and no personally identifiable information is used). This allows us to better understand how users use the site so we can improve their experience. We use an addon developed by an anti-fraud search engine, I/O Labs.PWA application
Our privacy policy also applies to our progressive web application (it's an installable app that users can choose to install). The PWA app was made better by the developers of the Wordpress plugin, App for Cloudflare®.
