Vort uses technologies such as web beacons, pixels and tags, alone or in combination with cookies, to gather information about use of our Site and how people interact with our emails. A "cookie" is a text file that websites send to a visitor's computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor's browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A "web beacon," also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, links web pages to web servers and their cookies and may be used to transmit information collected through cookies back to a web server.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that these third-party service providers are obligated to protect Personal Information on our behalf. We do not intend to transfer Personal Information without your consent to third parties that are not obligated to act on our behalf, unless such transfer is legally required.
