If you are a California resident, California law may provide you with additional
rights regarding our use of your personal information. We adopt this Section in
the context of the Privacy Policy as a whole to comply with the California
Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and any terms defined in the CCPA
have the same meaning when used in this Section. While we collect some personal information, personal information does not include publicly available
information from government records, de identified or aggregated consumer
information or information excluded from the CCPA’s scope. See below for a
description of certain collection practices that we have completed within the
last twelve (12) months:
We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the
personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or
incompatible purposes without providing you notice.
We may disclose your personal information to a third party for a business
purpose. When we disclose personal information for a business purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both
keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose
except performing the contract.
In the preceding twelve (12) months, the Company has disclosed the following
categories of personal information for a business purpose: Category A: Identifiers; Category B: California Customer Records personal information
categories; Category F: Internet or other similar network activity; Category G:
Geolocation data; and Category K: Inferences drawn from other personal
information. In the preceding twelve (12) months, the Company has not sold
personal information.
You 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.
Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will
disclose to you: the categories of personal information we collected about you;
the categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you;
our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal
information; the categories of third parties with whom we share that personal
information; the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you
(also called a data portability request); and if we sold or disclosed your
personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing
sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of
recipient purchased, and disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the
personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information
that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and
direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our
records, unless an exception applies.
We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary
for us or our service provider(s) to:
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the
personal information relates to you.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an
account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable
consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45)
days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you
of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an
account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically,
at your option.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the
verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data
portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal
information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the
information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer
request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we
determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that
decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA
that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted
financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s
material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your
prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal
information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. The safety and security of your information also
depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a
password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for
keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password
with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public
areas of the Website like message boards. The information you share in
public areas may be viewed by any user of the Website.

secure. We cannot guarantee the security of your personal information
transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your
own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or
security measures contained on the Website.
