6. Third-Party Services

The Platform uses limited third-party services for functionality purposes only.

A. Google Fonts

Google Fonts may be used for typographic rendering. Requests to Google’s servers may result in the transmission of limited technical information such as IP address and browser type.

No advertising profiling or behavioral tracking is conducted by CNCTASPHR in connection with Google Fonts.

B. YouTube Embedded Video Player

Where users share or view YouTube content, the YouTube embedded player may set cookies governed by YouTube’s and Google’s respective privacy policies.

These cookies are controlled by Google LLC and are subject to Google’s independent data practices.

CNCTASPHR does not receive access to, nor control over, cookies set by YouTube.

Users may review YouTube’s Privacy Policy for additional details.

7. No Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

CNCTASPHR does not:

• Sell personal information
• Share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising
• Disclose personal information to third parties for monetary or other valuable consideration

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), CNCTASPHR does not engage in activities that constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information.

Because no sale or sharing occurs, a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link is not required.

8. Global Privacy Control (GPC)

CNCTASPHR recognizes and honors browser-based opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control (GPC), where applicable.

Where GPC signals are received, non-essential cookies requiring consent will not be deployed.

CNCTASPHR operates primarily within the United States.

Where third-party services such as Google Fonts or YouTube involve international data transfers, such transfers are governed by the respective provider’s data transfer mechanisms, including Standard Contractual Clauses or other lawful safeguards where applicable.

CNCTASPHR does not independently transfer cookie-derived personal data outside the United States beyond what is technically required to render embedded third-party content.

Retention periods are determined based on operational necessity and security requirements.

Session cookies: Deleted upon browser closure

Functional cookies: Not retained beyond 12 months

Security cookies: Retained only as long as necessary to maintain system integrity
