10. DATA BREACH

disclosure or disposal of personal information. You will be notified about data
breaches when Panel Forge Ltd. believes you are likely to be at risk or serious
harm. For example, a data breach may be likely to result in serious financial
harm or harm to your mental or physical well-being. In the event that Panel
Forge Ltd. becomes aware of a security breach which has resulted or may result
in unauthorized access, use or disclosure of personal information Panel Forge
Ltd. will promptly investigate the matter and notify the applicable Supervisory
Authority not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, unless the
personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms
of natural persons.
11. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most
web browsers and some operating systems and applications include a Do-Not-Track
("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference
not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected.
No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has
been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or
any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be
tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must
follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised
version of this privacy policy.

our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a
year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information
(if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the
names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal
information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California
