Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information 

 

We do not collect or process sensitive personal information for the purpose of inferring characteristics about consumers. We also do not disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those specified in section 7027(m) of the CCPA regulations promulgated by the California Privacy Protection Agency. Therefore, we do not offer consumers the option to limit the use of their sensitive personal information.

 

Right to Opt Out of Sale

California residents have the right to opt out of the “sale” of their personal or sensitive personal information. While we do not sell personal information in exchange for monetary consideration, we do share personal information for other benefits that could be deemed a “sale,” as defined by the CCPA. The CCPA broadly defines “sale” in a way that may include actives such as the delivery of targeted advertising on websites or allowing third parties to receive certain information, such as cookies, IP address, and/or browsing behavior. In the past twelve months, we have provided the following categories of information to advertising networks and data analytics providers in ways that could be considered a “sale” under California law:

• Personal identifiers, such as unique personal identifier, online identifier, internet protocol address, device information, and unique advertising identifiers and cookies; internet and other electronic network activity information.

 

We disclosed these categories of information in order to market and advertise products and services; perform analytics; and maintain, improve, upgrade, or enhance our products or services.

 

We have no actual knowledge of selling the personal information or the sensitive personal information or minors under 16 years of age. 

 

If you would like to opt of such disclosures, you may do so in a frictionless manner by activating the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) on your browser. To learn more about the GPC, click here.  You may also contact us as set forth in the “Exercising Your Rights” section below.

You will need to provide us with personal information for us to match with information we have on file in order to verify your identity and residency. The personal information that we use to verify your identity and residency will not be used for any other purpose.

 

You may authorize an agent to submit a request on your behalf if you provide the authorized agent with written permission signed by you. We may require you to verify your identity directly with us and confirm that you provided the authorized agent with permission to submit a request on your behalf. 

 

Right of Non-Retaliation and Non-Discrimination

California residents have the right to exercise their rights under the CCPA without receiving retaliatory or discriminatory treatment.  We do not retaliate or discriminate against California residents who exercise their CCPA privacy rights.
