They also may log information about your interaction with our Service, such as which pages you visit and how long you spend on each page. To control which Web servers collect information by automated means, we may place tags on our Web pages called "Web beacons," which are files that link Web pages to particular Web servers and their cookies. We also may include Web beacons in e-mail messages. We or third parties also may send instructions to your device using JavaScript or other computer languages to store or gather the sorts of information described above and other details about your interactions with the Service.

4. Analytics and Do-Not-Track

Online Analytics Providers

To help us better understand your use of the Service, we may use third-party analytics on our Service, such as those of Google Analytics. These third parties use the sorts of technologies described in the “Information that is Passively or Automatically Collected Information” section above to help us analyze how users use the Service, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive. The information (including your IP address) will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers who use the information to evaluate your use of the Service and share that information with us. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here . Bose does not control these opt-out mechanisms and is not responsible for their operation or accuracy.

Do Not Track Disclosure

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. As the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT, we do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals.

5. Updating Your Information

If you need to update, correct, amend or delete your information, please contact us at bosesupport@pulsellc.com . We will address your request in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

6. Security

Bose takes technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, and no means of electronic or physical storage, is absolutely secure, and thus we cannot ensure or warrant the security of that information.

7. Third Party Links and Services

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, applications and services, as well as embedded images or other third-party content and features. We are not responsible for the content, features, security or practices of any third parties. We do not vet, endorse or make any representations about third parties or their websites, applications or services. The information you choose to provide to or that is collected by these third parties is not covered by our Privacy Policy.

8. Your California Privacy Rights

California Law permits visitors who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes. We do not, however, make such disclosures.

9. Information from Children

We do not knowingly collect any personal information directly from children under the age of 13. If we discover we have received any personal information from a child under the age of 13 in violation of this Policy, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information as quickly as possible.
