Our Policy on “Do Not Track” Signals under the California Online Protection Act (CalOPPA)

California law requires certain websites to let you know how they respond to web browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals. Because there is no current industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to DNT signals at this time.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), CWF’s legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.

CWF may process your Personal Data because:
