California Privacy Notice

Effective Date: June 30, 2023

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) requires us to provide you with the following additional information about: (1) the purpose for which we use each category of “personal information” (as defined in the CCPA) we collect; and (2) the categories of third parties to which we (a) disclose such personal information for a business purpose, (b) “share” personal information for “cross-context behavioral advertising,” and/or (c) “sell” such personal information. Under the CCPA, “sharing” is defined as the targeting of advertising to a consumer based on that consumer’s personal information obtained from the consumer’s activity across websites, and “selling” is defined as the disclosure of personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration. We “share” information to provide more relevant and tailored advertising to you regarding our Services. While we do not disclose your personal information to third parties in exchange for money, our use of third-party online advertising services may result in the sharing of online identifiers (e.g., cookie data, IP addresses, device identifiers, and usage information) in a way that may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA.

  2. Additional Rights Under the CCPA

    The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with certain rights regarding their personal information. Those rights include, among other things, rights to access, correct, or delete your data, as further set forth in Section 6 above. You can exercise your rights filling-out our form as described in Section 6 herein. 

    The CCPA prohibits discrimination against California consumers for exercising their rights under the CCPA and imposes requirements on any financial incentives offered to California consumers related to their personal information. Businesses may offer different prices, rates, or quality of goods or services if the difference is reasonably related to the value of the consumer’s data. If we offer any financial incentives as that term is defined under the CCPA, we will notify you of the terms of such program at the time of registration. 

    The CCPA also allows you to limit the use or disclosure of your “sensitive personal information” (as defined in the CCPA) if your sensitive personal information is used for certain purposes. Please note that we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information other than for business purposes for which you cannot opt out under the CCPA.

  3. Retention of your Personal Information.

    Please see the "Data Minimization" section of our Privacy Policy.

  4. Contact Information

    You may contact us to learn more information about your rights under CCPA and how to exercise them at any time. Please refer to Section 7 for our contact information.
