ANALYTICS
Our website uses analytics technology provided by our vendors to understand how users interact with the site, improve our web experience, and better market our products. These analytics services use cookies and other Tracking Technologies to collect information about how you use the Service. Personal Information collected by these analytics services (e.g., your IP address and other Usage Information) may be transmitted to and stored by these providers on servers in the U.S. (or elsewhere). See below for more information on your choices regarding analytics services.
YOUR CHOICES ABOUT TRACKING & COMMUNICATIONS
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies may generally be disabled or removed by tools available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some instances blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Browsers offer different functionalities and options, so you may need to set them separately. Please review your browser’s Help menu for instructions, or visit www.allaboutcookies.org for more information. Please note that if you disable all cookies, some features of our Services may not function properly.
Do Not Track Signals
Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many online services, we currently do not alter our practices when we receive a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser.
Analytics and Advertising Technologies
You may choose not to receive some interest-based advertising by submitting opt-outs. Some of the advertisers and providers that perform advertising-related services for us may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising and/or the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding interest-based advertising, including use of cross-device data for serving ads, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. To learn more about the NAI and your opt-out options for their members, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Please be aware that opting out only means that those selected members should no longer deliver certain interest-based advertising to you but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., from other ad networks).
We also use advertising services provided by Google Ad Services, such as remarketing with analytics and interest-based ads. We may use first-party cookies or other first-party identifiers as well as third-party cookies or other third-party identifiers to, e.g., deliver advertisements, measure your interests, and/or personalize content. For more information on how Google Analytics uses data collected through our services, visit http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners. To opt out of Google Analytics cookies, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or download the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.
Depending on your device settings, you may also opt out of certain interest-based advertising through the device’s “Limit Ad Tracking” or equivalent feature. Refer to your device for more information on what this opt out affects. For instance, you can adjust or reset the advertising identifiers on your mobile device in the device settings. iOS users can visit Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Reset Advertising Identifier. Android users can visit Google settings > Ads > Reset advertising ID.
In addition, we may serve ads on other online services that are targeted to reach people on those services who are also identified in one of more of our databases (“Matched List Ads”). This is done by using tracking technologies or by matching common factors between our databases and the databases of the other online services such as Facebook/Meta. We are not responsible for these services, including without limitation the security of the data they hold about you. If we use Facebook to serve Matched List Ads on Facebook services, you should be able to hover over the box in the right corner of such a Facebook ad, or go to your account settings, to find out what options Facebook offers you to control such ads.
Rayne is not responsible for the effectiveness of any other parties’ opt-out options or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.
Email Communications
You may unsubscribe from our marketing email communications by clicking the “unsubscribe” link found in every commercial email we send, or by sending a request to unsubscribe to us as provided below. Unsubscribing from our marketing communications will not affect the level or quality of service we provide to you.

SECURITY & PASSWORDS

You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any credentials used to access your account with us. If you suspect any unauthorized activity associated with your account, please report that activity to us immediately.
AGE RESTRICTIONS

Data retention
We will store your Personal Information for no longer than is necessary for the performance of our obligations, to achieve the purposes for which the Personal Information was collected, or as may be required or permitted under applicable law. To determine the appropriate retention period, we will consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data; the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the data; the purposes for which we process the data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means; and the applicable legal requirements. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, at the end of the retention period we will remove Personal Information from our systems and records or take appropriate steps to properly anonymize, deidentify, or aggregate it, where legally applicable.
