Accessing and Correcting Your Information.

You can review and change your personal information by logging into the Offerings and visiting your account profile page.

Do Not Track Signals.

Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have his or her online activity and behavior tracked. If a website that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser can block that website from collecting certain information about the browser’s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, many digital service operators, including House of Carpets, does not recognize or respond to DNT signals.


Links to Other Websites and Offerings.

We are not responsible for the practices employed by third party websites, applications, or services linked to or from our Site. We recommend you review the privacy notices of other third-party websites, applications, and/or services applications before authorizing a third-party access to your data.
