please provide sufficient information for us to determine if this applies to you, attest to the fact that you are
a California resident and provide a current California address for our response. To make such a request (limit

distribute or otherwise use User Content online or offline in any media or format (currently existing or hereafter
developed) and may or may not attribute it to you. Others may have access to this User Content and may have the
ability to share it with third parties. Please think carefully before deciding what information you share, including
Personal Information, in connection with your User Content. Please note that we do not control who will have access
to the information that you choose to make public, and cannot ensure that parties who have access to such publicly
available information will respect your privacy or keep it secure. We are not responsible for the privacy or security
of any information that you make publicly available on the Service or what others do with information you share
with them on the Service. We are not responsible for the accuracy, use or misuse of any User Content that you disclose
or receive from third parties through the Service.

We may also publish your name, voice, likeness and other Personal Information that is part of your User Content,
and we may use the content, or any portion of the content, for advertising, marketing, publicity and promotional
activities. For full terms and conditions regarding User Content you submit to the Service, please review our Service’s
Terms of Use.
We and third parties such as network advertisers and ad exchanges may serve advertisements on the Service or across the Internet
and may use third party analytics service providers to evaluate and provide us and/or third parties with information
about the use of these ads on third party sites and viewing of ads and of our content. Network advertisers are
third parties that display advertisements, which may be based on your activities across the Internet and mobile
media (“Behavioral Ads”). Behavioral Ads enable us to target advertisements to you for products and services in
which we believe you might be interested. If you object to receiving Behavioral Ads from us on third party sites,
you can learn more about your ability to limit Behavioral Ads below. Our third-party ad network and exchange providers,
the advertisers and/or traffic measurement services may themselves set and access their own technologies on your
Device and track certain behavioral Usage Information via a Device Identifier. These third-party technologies may
be set to, among other things:
(a) help deliver advertisements to you that you might be interested in;
(b) prevent you from seeing the same advertisements; and
(c) understand the usefulness of the advertisements that have been delivered to you. You acknowledge and agree
that associated technology may access and use your Device and may set or change settings on your Device in connection
with the associated operations. Note that any images (or any other parts of content) served by third parties in
association with third-party ads or other content may serve as web beacons, which enable third parties to carry
out the previously described activities.Statements regarding our practices do not apply to the methods for collecting
information used by these third parties or the use of the information that such third parties collect. We do however
work with third parties to make efforts to have you provided with information on their practices and any available
opportunity to exercise choice. The relevant third party’s terms of service, privacy policy, permissions, notices
and choices should be reviewed regarding their collection, storage and sharing practices. We make no representations
regarding the policies or practices of third-party advertisers or advertising networks or exchanges or related
third parties.
Some third parties may offer you certain choices regarding their practices, and information we have been informed of regarding such choices is available in Annex A. Further, while sites use a variety of companies to serve advertisements, you may wish to visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp, which provides information regarding this practice by Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) members, and your choices regarding having this information used by these companies, including the “opt-out” procedures of NAI members. Opting out of one or more NAI members only means that those NAI members no longer will be allowed under their own rules to deliver Behavioral Ads to you, but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads. Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit this opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different Device or change web browsers, your NAI opt-out may not, or may no longer, be effective. You may also opt-out of receiving Behavioral Ads on participating sites and services by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) website at http://www.aboutads.info/choices. Similar limitations may apply to the DAA opt-out. We are not responsible for effectiveness of or compliance with any third parties’ opt-out options or programs.
When you are on the Service you may be directed to other sites and apps that are operated and controlled by third parties that we do not control such as merchants who directly sell products and services to you. We are not responsible for the data collection and privacy practices employed by any of these third parties or their sites or apps and they may be tracking you across multiple online services and may be sharing the results of that tracking with us and/or others. These third parties may have their own terms of service, privacy policies or other policies and ask you to agree to the same. For example, if you “click” on a link, the “click” may take you off the Service onto a different location. These other online services may associate their Tracking Technologies with you, independently collect information about you, including Personal Information, and may or may not have their own published privacy policies. We are not responsible for these third-party privacy policies or the practices of third-party owners. Be sure to review any available policies before submitting any personally identifiable information to a third-party application or otherwise interacting with it and exercise caution in connection with these applications. We also encourage you to note when you leave our Service and to review the third-party privacy policies of all third-party locations and exercise caution in connection with them.
You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of the information you submit to us, such as your contact information provided
as part of registration. The Service may allow you to review, correct or update Personal Information you have provided
through the Service’s registration forms or otherwise by updating your Service account and you may provide registration
updates and changes by contacting us by email at: info@haitouglobal.com. If so, we will make good faith efforts
to make requested changes in our then active databases as soon as reasonably practicable (but we may retain prior
information as business records). Please note that it is not always possible to completely remove or delete all
of your information from our databases and that residual data may remain on backup media or for other reasons.
When you edit your Personal Information or change your preferences on the Service, information that you remove
may persist internally for our administrative purposes. You may cancel or modify our email marketing communications
you receive from us by following the instructions contained within our promotional emails. This will not affect
subsequent subscriptions and if your opt-out is limited to certain types of emails the opt-out will be so limited.

Service, such as administrative and Service announcements and these transactional account messages may be unaffected
if you choose to opt-out from receiving our marketing communications.If you have any questions about the Privacy
Policy or practices described in it, you should contact us in the following ways:
