Third Party Service Providers, Websites and Widgets
The Site may contain links to webpages or content sponsored or provided by third parties. We do not control such websites and are not responsible for their contents or the privacy policies or other practices of such websites. Our inclusion of links to such websites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such websites or any association with their operators. Further, it is up to the user to take precautions to ensure that whatever links the user selects or software the user downloads (whether from this Site or other websites) is free of such items as viruses, worms, trojan horses, defects and other items of a destructive nature. Third party websites and services may have their own privacy policies, which the user will be subject to upon linking to the third party’s website. These sites and services may use their own cookies or data tracking technologies to collect data or information from you. FMG Suite does not share the information that you provide us with these third parties; however, these third parties may obtain information about you if you click on a third party link.
Please note that certain widgets, like the Facebook “like” or “share” buttons, on the Site may collect information about you, such as your IP address, automatically through cookies and may combine information about your use of our Site with information they collect in other areas. FMG Suite has no control over the practices of these widgets and is not responsible for their privacy practices.

Security
We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect user’s Personal Data and information and follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personally identifiable information submitted to us. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is one hundred percent secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not intended for use by children. We do not intentionally gather Personal Data about visitors who are under the age of 16. If a child has provided us with Personal Data, a parent or guardian of that child may contact us to have the information deleted from our records. If you believe that we might have any information from a child under age 16 in the applicable jurisdiction, please contact us at privacy@fmgsuite.com. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected the personal information of a child under 16, or equivalent minimum age depending on jurisdiction, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible.
