Security
GCL and its providers employ certain procedural and technological security measures that are reasonably designed to help protect your personal information from loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. None of such measures, or any data transmission over the Internet or any network, can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure or effective. As a result, we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or that is submitted on your behalf, and such information is transmitted and submitted at your own risk.
Third Party Sites
This Policy does not apply to and we are not responsible for the privacy, information, or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating a site or service to which the Site links. The inclusion of a link on the Site does not imply our endorsement of the linked site, the third party, or any service. Please check the privacy policies of those sites before providing your personal information to them.
“Do Not Track” Disclosure
Some state laws require us to let you know how we respond to web browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals.
GCL does not use technology that recognizes do-not-track signals from your browser. You can also opt out of Internet-based advertising by installing a browser plugin from a third party where available.

Right to Non-Discrimination
GCL will not discriminate against you (for example, through denying goods or services, or providing a different level or quality of goods or services) for exercising any of the rights afforded to you.
Responding to Your Requests
We will make an effort to respond to a verifiable consumer request within the required timeframes. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
We will deliver our written response by email unless you request that we contact you by regular mail. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period prior to receipt of the request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
