6. Cookies
Certain features on our Website utilize cookie technology. A cookie is a small data file that certain web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain various types of information, including any user ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited. We may use cookies to enhance your experience on our Website, to determine user traffic patterns and for other purposes.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies: however, you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent or you can flush your browser of cookies from time to time. (Note: you may need to consult the help area of your browser application for instructions.)

In order to ensure that the information we maintain is accurate, where there is a registration option, Operator also gives users the option to change or modify their information previously provided during registration. If you have registered and would like to change your information currently in our database, please log in and click the "My Account" link on our Website.
9. Sharing of Your Information
Operator may use your personal information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy for administrative, marketing, and other business purposes. In addition, Operator may share your personal information (i) with third parties who are under obligations of confidentiality with Operator or with Operator's affiliates or subsidiaries, (ii) if Operator is required by law to do so, (iii) in the event of a transfer of ownership of Operator, merger or other similar transaction, or (iv) as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy. The following describes some of the ways that your personal information may be disclosed to third parties:
We may employ other third parties to perform services or functions on our behalf in order to improve our Website, merchandising, marketing and promotional efforts, communications, or other services. Those third parties may include authorized contractors, consultants, and other companies working with us (collectively, "agents"). They only have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, and they may not share any personal information with others or use it for any other purpose than providing or improving Operator's services and offerings.
We may share certain non-personal information with third parties for advertising, promotional and other purposes. For example, we may work with third party advertising companies, to serve and track our ads. These third parties may serve other cookies. Our advertising partners may use the non-personal information they collect from our Website, in the aggregate, to help us better market and serve our customers.
This Privacy Policy applies only to our Website and does not address the practices of third parties who may collect your personal information. You may visit other web sites, through links on our Website, which may collect, use, and share your personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies. The information practices of those linked websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy, and we encourage you to be very cautious before you disclose your personal information to others.
In order to provide you with the information or services which you have requested, we may share or transfer your personal information with our affiliates or subsidiaries, or third party agents acting on their behalf.
Operator may be obligated to cooperate with various law enforcement inquiries. Operator reserves the right to disclose or transfer personal information and non-personal information about you and your activities on our Website in order to comply with a legal requirement or request from law enforcement or other government officials, administrative agencies, or third parties as we, in our sole discretion, determine necessary or appropriate for the administration of justice, or in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, or violations of any other law, rule, or regulation, our NewHumanityPledge.org Terms of Use or other rules or policies of our Website, the rights of third parties, an investigation of any other activity that may expose us or you to legal liability, or to investigate any suspected conduct, which Operator, in its sole discretion, deems improper.
10. Social Media Plugins
On certain pages of our Website, we may implement so-called social media plugins, in particular buttons connecting to the social media sites of Meta Platforms, Inc. and Twitter, Inc. ("Social Media Sites"). When you visit a page that displays one or more of such buttons your browser will establish a direct connection to the respective servers of the Social Media Sites and load data via the button. The Social Media Sites will know that the respective page on our website has been visited.
We have no influence on the data that the Social Media Sites collect on the basis of the buttons. According to the available information, however, if you do not click on the respective buttons no personal data will be collected and stored unless you have logged onto to your account on the respective Social Media Sites. In that case, certain user data (including your IP address at the time) may be collected and linked to the account information already present at the respective Social Media Sites. If you wish to prevent this, please log out of your social media accounts before visiting our Website.
In addition, clicking a button may also lead to a collection of certain data, such as the user’s IP address. The Social Media Sites may set cookies as well, unless you have disabled the acceptance and storage of cookies in your browser settings (see the "Cookies" section above). We receive no information from the Social Media Sites about which social media buttons you may have clicked or seen on our website, but, if at all, we may receive a summarized statistical report of non-personal data relating to the use of the buttons.
