6. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information
War Spoils does not sell personal information for monetary payment.
Some analytics, advertising, social-media, or tracking activities may be treated as a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under certain state privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged.

Using the cookie or privacy-preference controls displayed on the Website.

Selecting a Your Privacy Choices or Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link, when displayed.
-
Emailing matthewmarkgolden@gmail.com.
Where required by applicable law and supported by our Website configuration, we will process recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as an opt-out request for the associated browser or device. California recognizes rights to opt out of qualifying sales or sharing, including through supported opt-out preference signals.
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals under 16 for targeted advertising.

8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Retention periods may depend on:

Payment processing through established third-party providers.

Fraud-prevention tools.

Restrictions on access to customer information.
However, no website, electronic transmission, payment system, or data-storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You provide information online at your own risk.

California Privacy Request
We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and locate the relevant records. Information provided for verification will be used for that purpose.
An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf where permitted by law. We may require proof of authorization and may separately verify your identity.
12. Do Not Track and Privacy Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not a single universally adopted standard for interpreting every Do Not Track signal, the Website may not respond to traditional Do Not Track settings.
Where required by applicable law, recognized opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control will be handled as described in Section 6.
13. Children’s Privacy
The Website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. Orders must be placed by an adult or with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian.
If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through the Website, contact us so we can review the matter and delete the information when appropriate.
Federal COPPA requirements apply to services directed to children under 13 and to general-audience services that have actual knowledge they are collecting personal information from a child under 13.

War Spoils does not control the privacy, security, or data practices of those third parties. Their collection and use of information are governed by their own policies.
We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party service before providing personal information.
15. International Visitors
The Website is operated from the United States.
If you access the Website from another country, your information may be transferred to, processed in, or stored in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate.
