We may use Microsoft Clarity, an analytics service provided by Microsoft, to help us understand how visitors interact with our website and improve the user experience.

We use this information to understand how visitors use the website, identify usability or technical issues, measure the performance of website features and content, and improve the overall website experience.

Microsoft processes information collected through Clarity as a service provider supporting SBV’s analytics activities. Where required by applicable law, Clarity and similar nonessential analytics technologies will be used in accordance with your consent preferences.

AI-Assisted Analytics and Processing

SBV may use artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other automated technologies to help analyze information collected through our Services and analytics tools, including Microsoft Clarity.

Unless otherwise disclosed, SBV does not use AI-assisted website analytics to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning individuals solely through automated processing.

You may control certain cookies through your browser settings and through any cookie preference tool made available through the Services.

Disabling cookies may affect the availability or performance of certain features.

Where required by applicable law, we recognize qualifying browser-based universal opt-out signals, such as the Global Privacy Control, for the browser or device from which the signal is sent.

Your browser may also offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not a uniform industry standard for responding to all Do Not Track signals, our Services may not respond to every such signal. We will respond to legally recognized universal opt-out signals where required by applicable law.
