If we learn that we have collected or processed a Child's personal information without valid authorization from a parent or legal guardian where required by applicable law, we will take steps to delete that personal information from our systems as soon as reasonably practicable.

15. Tracking Technologies and Cookies
NEMO may collect and generate information about you when you interact with our website, which may include name and contact information (as described above), information about the device you use to interact with our website, and information about your interaction with our website (such as content you view, features you access, sites you view immediately before and after you access our website, content you view on our website, search terms you use on our website, and content in which you have indicated interest).
When you visit NEMO's website, we may place a cookie (a text file containing a randomly assigned number) or a similar technology on your device so we have the ability to customize the look and feel of the website for you. Cookies remember information about you, your preferences, and your device for a better user experience when visiting the website. Using cookies, we may also collect other information about your use of the website, including your Internet Protocol or IP address, username, session, browser, web pages you view and referring web pages, when you access the website, and general online behavior for performance and marketing purposes.
NEMO may use third-party analytics tracking technologies and tools to collect information about how you use our website, such as the frequency of visits, pages viewed, traffic data, location, referring and exit pages, and error information. These tools may also collect device-specific data, including your IP address, operating system, browser type, and Internet connection details. These tools examine website activities to prepare usage reports, and this information helps us improve our website and enhance user experience. Tracking information will be shared with the third-party analytics provider, which may use that information for its own purposes, potentially including marketing or advertising. While the tracking information we collect through such tools is not sufficient on its own for NEMO to identify you, the third-party analytics provider may be able to combine it with other data it has to identify you.
If you would like to limit the ability of cookies or tracking technologies and tools to track your activity on our website, you can either configure your preferences for cookie settings on our website, or disable cookies in your Internet browser settings, although doing so may impact the performance and effectiveness of our website or other websites.
