Updating Your Information with Alotten

Alotten Does Not Sell Personal Information for Money
We share information about website visits with advertising and analytics partners, as described in “Cookies and Similar Technologies.” You can opt out through a Global Privacy Control signal, or, if you are visiting from California or outside the United States, through Cookie Settings.
Disclosing Your Information
We may disclose your personal information to:
- Internal Alotten Teams and Affiliates – For service management and administration
- Service Providers & Business Partners – To support Service delivery
- Analytics and Advertising Providers – To measure website use, show Alotten ads, and identify companies that visit our website, as described in “Cookies and Similar Technologies” below
- Law Enforcement & Regulatory Bodies – To comply with legal requirements
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We and our third-party partners use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies on our websites and applications. We group them into three categories:
- Necessary – Required for our websites and applications to function, such as security, spam protection on our forms, keeping you signed in, and remembering your cookie choices. These cannot be turned off.
- Statistics – Help us understand how visitors find and use our websites and applications, such as pages visited and features used. Some statistics tools record clicks, scrolling, and page interactions, with any text you type hidden.
- Marketing – Help us show Alotten ads on other websites and social media platforms to people who have visited our website, measure whether those ads work, and learn which companies visit our website.
Statistics and marketing technologies are provided by third parties. These partners receive information about your visit, including your IP address, device and browser information, pages viewed, and identifiers stored in cookies. They may combine it with other information they hold about you, under their own privacy policies. Some partners use this information to identify the company or organization associated with a visit.
For visitors to our website from California and outside the United States, we use statistics and marketing technologies only if you agree, and you can change your choice at any time through the Cookie Settings link in our website footer. For other visitors in the United States, these technologies are active by default. We treat Global Privacy Control browser signals from any visitor as a request to opt out.
Our Current Partners
Our current partners, the cookies each one sets, and links to each partner’s privacy policy are listed in our Cookie Declaration at alotten.com/legal/cookie-declaration, and incorporated into this document by reference. The Cookie Declaration is updated automatically when the cookies on our website change. Visitors may also visit partners’ websites and adjust their preferences on that page.
Your Other Choices
Opting out through Cookie Settings or a Global Privacy Control signal stops these technologies on our website from that point on. It does not delete information partners have already received; to request that, contact the partner under its privacy policy. You can also limit interest-based ads from many companies through the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info), the Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org), or, in Europe, Your Online Choices (youronlinechoices.eu). You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work.
Do Not Track
Some browsers send “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no common standard for these signals, our websites do not respond to them. We do honor Global Privacy Control signals as described above.
International Data Transfers
- If your data is collected in the UK or EEA, we may transfer it outside these regions with adequate safeguards in place.
Retention of Your Information
- We retain personal data only as long as necessary for Service provision and improvement, marketing purposes (unless you opt out), and legal compliance.
Information Security
We have implemented appropriate security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access or misuse.

You have the following rights under data privacy laws:
- Right to Access – Request a copy of your data
- Right to Correct – Request updates to inaccurate information
- Right to Delete – Request deletion of your data
- Right to Restrict Processing (applies to GDPR) – Limit how we use your data
- Right to Object (applies to GDPR) – Stop us from using your data for specific reasons
