California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)
California residents have the right to: (1) know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collected, used, disclosed, sold, or shared; (2) request deletion of personal information; (3) request correction of inaccurate personal information; (4) opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information; (5) limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information (to permitted purposes); and (6) not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
Categories of personal information we collected in the past 12 months are listed in the Notice at Collection. We disclosed these categories to service providers for business purposes as described above. We did not knowingly sell personal information for money; however, certain data sharing with analytics/advertising partners may be deemed a sale or sharing. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those permitted by law.
