In addition to disclosures made elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, certain states in the United States of America require us to disclose information related to our privacy practices. This section of our Privacy Policy (“California Privacy Policy”) serves to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) (collectively, “CCPA”), and any capitalized terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this Section.

The CCPA provides consumers with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. This section describes those state-specific rights and explains how to exercise those rights. The section will not apply if we do not collect Personal Information about you or if all of the information we collect is exempt from the law.

The California rights set forth below apply to all visitors, users, and others regardless of place of residence.

i. Right to Know and Data Portability/Right of Access

   Consumers have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months (the “Right to Know”). 

Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights), we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of Personal Information we collected about you (disclosed above).
  • The categories of sources of the Personal Information we collected about you (disclosed above).
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing that Personal Information (disclosed above).
  • The categories of third parties to whom we disclose that Personal Information (disclosed below).
  • The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you in a portable and readily usable format when we process the information through automated or searchable means (also called a “data portability” request).

ii. California-Specific Disclosures

While our Privacy Policy notes the categories of Personal Information that we have collected in the past 12 months and the categories of sources, the following chart indicates the categories of third parties to which we have disclosed the Personal Information for a business purpose and which categories of Personal Information that we have shared with third parties for cross-contextual behavioral advertising in the preceding 12 months.

iii. Right to Delete

Consumers have the right to request that we delete any of your Personal Information that you have provided or that we have collected or obtained about you, subject to certain exceptions.

Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights), we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. We will delete from our records or deidentify Personal Information not subject to a lawful exception and will direct our service providers to take similar action.

iv. Right to Correct Inaccurate Information

Consumers have the right to request correction of any inaccurate Personal Information that we maintain about you, taking into account the nature of the Personal Information and the purposes of the Personal Information processing. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct this information.

v. Right to Limit

Consumers have the right to request to limit our use of Sensitive Personal Information unless our use of Sensitive Personal Information falls into one of limited business purposes. We do not collect or process Sensitive Personal Information for the purpose of inferring characteristics about a consumer. 

vi. Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing

Consumers have the right to opt-out of certain sales or sharing or the right to opt-in to sales or sharing if the Consumer is a minor or if the information at issue is Sensitive Personal Information. This includes the right to opt-out of Personal Information processing for targeted advertising, personal data sales, or advertising for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. It also includes the right to opt-out of profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. We only engage in cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising through cookies. We do not otherwise sell or share Personal Information for advertising purposes. We also do not engage in profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

To set your Cookie Preferences, click on the Cookie Settings link in the footer of your browser. To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may also submit a request to us by visiting the following Internet Web page link: Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.

Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least 12 months before asking you to reauthorize Personal Information sharing. 

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use Personal Information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

vii. Right to Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your state law privacy rights. Unless permitted by law, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services.
