This privacy policy does not cover the privacy and security practices of the social media sites in which Central has Social Media Pages. Please review privacy policies and terms of service on the social media sites if you have any questions about their privacy or security practices.

The social media sites where Central has its Social Media Pages may provide aggregate information and analysis to Central about your use of our Social Media Pages. This allows us to better understand and analyze our user growth, general demographic information about the users of our Social Media Pages, and interaction with content on our Social Media Pages. Overall, this information may be used to help us understand the types of visitors and users of our Social Media Pages and use of the content.

Central is the sole owner of this information collected on this website.

We reserve the right to release personal information or other information about users who we believe are engaged in illegal activities or are otherwise in violation of our Terms of Service, even without a subpoena, warrant or court order, if we believe, in our sole discretion, that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to operate our website or to protect the rights or property of our website, our affiliates or our officers, directors, employees, agents, third-party content providers, suppliers, sponsors or licensors. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities we reasonably believe, in our sole discretion, to be unlawful. If we are legally compelled to disclose information about you to a third party, we will attempt to notify you by sending an email to the email address in our records unless doing so would violate the law or unless you have not provided your email address to us.
