6. SECURITY
The security of your information is important to us, including, among other things, the personal data collected through the website futureintelligence.com. We use reasonable security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of personal information under our control, both during transmission and upon receipt. This includes, among other things, the use of firewalls and encryption during data exchange with the website. While we make every effort to secure this personal data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and therefore we cannot guarantee that it will remain free from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or alteration. Furthermore, while we work hard to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent hackers or other unauthorized individuals from illegally accessing or acquiring this data.
If we become aware of a security breach involving your personal data, we will promptly notify you so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using the website futureintelligence.com or submitting personal data to us, you agree that we may contact you electronically regarding security and privacy issues related to the use of the website futureintelligence.com.

8. EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES
Posts on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.) that is displayed using an iframe or other equivalent method. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect personal data, use cookies, embed additional tracking mechanisms, and monitor your interaction with this embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged into that specific website.
9. THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISING NETWORKS
We collaborate with advertising networks to help display ads on third-party websites and assess the success of our advertising campaigns. Advertising networks are third parties that display ads based on your visits to both our site and other websites. This allows for the appropriate targeting of advertisements, displaying updates about products and services that are likely of interest to you. Advertising network providers, advertisers, or traffic measurement services may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs, and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and tailor the advertising content for you. These third-party cookies and related technologies are governed by the privacy policy of the respective third party and not by this one.
We may provide advertising networks with data regarding the use of our sites, as well as aggregated information about visitors to our website.
You can opt out of many advertising networks, including those belonging to the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) and Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”). For more information about these organizations and your related options, including how to opt out of ads managed by NAI and DAA members, visit the respective sites: optout.networkadvertising.org (NAI) and www.aboutads.info/choices (DAA).
Opting out of one or more NAI or DAA members means that these members will no longer serve you targeted content or ads. It does not mean that you will stop seeing targeted content or ads on our site or other websites. You may still see ads, for example, based on the specific website you visited. Additionally, if your browsers are set to reject cookies when visiting the above opt-out pages or if you later delete those specific cookies, or use a different computer or change browsers, your opt-out from NAI or DAA may no longer be effective. Further information is available on the NAI and DAA websites, accessible through the above links.
10. UPDATES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY
We may periodically update this privacy policy. In such cases, we will modify the “effective date” at the top of the privacy policy. Before any update that significantly reduces the restrictions of this privacy policy regarding the processing or disclosure of personal data collected prior to the update, we will provide advance notice of the upcoming update by posting a relevant notice on our website. We encourage you to periodically review this privacy policy to stay informed about the collection, processing, and disclosure of personal data. Continued use of our website implies your consent to the updated privacy policy.
