Your personal information is stored either at Sanctuary’s premises or the premises of its service providers.

Our Sites
Like other sites, Sanctuary uses various technologies to collect information and track your activity when you visit Sanctuary’s sites. In particular, Sanctuary may use cookies (small files sent to your browser to store information) or pixel tags (invisible images placed on certain pages of its sites) to collect information about your use of its sites and other sites, your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. For example, these tools may automatically collect information such as an identifier assigned to your device, your Internet Protocol address (IP address), the date of your last visit to Sanctuary’s sites, time spent on Sanctuary’s sites or certain pages on Sanctuary’s sites, the files you download from Sanctuary’s sites, browsing habits and the type of browser you use, how you arrived at Sanctuary’s sites and your location. Sanctuary does not correlate this information with any personal information Sanctuary possess unless Sanctuary has your consent.
You may be able to control cookies using your browser settings. For example, you may be able to set your browser to block or delete cookies, or to notify you before a cookie is set. If you block cookies, you may not be able to use all the features of Sanctuary’s sites. By continuing to use Sanctuary’s sites without changing your browser settings, you consent to Sanctuary’s use of cookies as described above.
Other Sites and Social Media
Sanctuary’s sites may have links to other sites or services not provided by Sanctuary, including social media sites that Sanctuary may use along with you. These sites or services may have different privacy practices and policies than Sanctuary and Sanctuary recommends that you review their privacy policies to determine if they are acceptable to you. While Sanctuary is not responsible for those privacy policies and practices, Sanctuary is responsible for any personal information it collects, uses or discloses on those sites or services under this policy.
Safeguards
Sanctuary takes steps to protect your personal information in Sanctuary’s custody and control from loss, misuse, unauthorized access and alteration by using reasonable physical, organizational and technological security measures. However, no system or security measure is completely secure. Any transmission of your personal information to Sanctuary is at your own risk.
To the extent Sanctuary has arrangements with service providers to store or process personal information on Sanctuary’s behalf, its policy is to require them by contractual or other means to provide comparable protection while the information is stored or processed by them. However, some of Sanctuary’s service providers may be located in countries whose data protection laws are not as protective as those in your country of residence and, despite the measures that Sanctuary has in place, these laws may permit government and national security authorities to access personal data in certain circumstances.
Access, Correction, Inquiries and Complaints
If you wish to access or correct your personal information in Sanctuary’s custody or control or ask a question or make a complaint about Sanctuary’s personal information practices under this policy, please contact by email at admin@sanctuary.ai.
Sanctuary will evaluate any requests to access or modify your personal information in accordance with this policy and applicable laws, and subject to the protection of its confidential information and that of third parties. Sanctuary may also need to confirm your identity, before proceeding with any such requests.
Changes
Sanctuary reserves the right to change this policy at any time, and Sanctuary will take reasonable steps to advise affected individuals of any changes, including by posting or otherwise giving you notice of the amended policy. You should review this policy regularly to ensure that you are aware of any changes made.
