California Privacy Rights

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) requires businesses like ours to provide the following additional information to you:

Categories of Personal Information. This Privacy Policy lists under “What We Collect and How We Use It” the Personal Information that we may process. 

“Personal Information” means, under the CCPA, means information that identifies relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. 

No Sale of Personal Information. We do not sell Personal Information. 

Sharing Personal Information for a Business Purpose. While we do not sell your Personal Information, we may share it to support our own operation purposes in providing services to you, as further described under “What We Collect and How We Use It” in this Privacy Policy.

Your Rights. You may exercise any of the rights set forth in this policy, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

Additional California Disclosure. We do not track our customers over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. We use certain third party cookies, as provided under “Cookies and Local Storage”, and such third parties will obtain information about the fact that a web browser visited a specific Website from a certain IP address. Note that some third party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, certain sites and browsers enable you to set the DNT signal so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be tracked.
