These rules apply solely to all visitors, users, and others who are residents of the State of California (“California residents”).

Where noted, the CCPA temporarily exempts Personal Information reflecting a written or verbal business-to-business communication (“B2B personal information”) from some of its requirements.
California residents have the right to request that we disclose what Personal Information we collect, use, disclose, and sell (if applicable). Our uses of Personal Information and instructions for submitting a verifiable Consumer request for such disclosures are detailed further below.

• From third parties or service providers that you have authorized to receive and share Personal Information.
3. Use of Personal Information for Commercial Purposes.
We may use or disclose personal information we collect for “business purposes” or “commercial purposes” (as defined under the CCPA), which may include the following examples:
• To fulfill or meet the reason a Consumer provided the information.

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.
4. Sharing Personal Information.
We may disclose Consumers’ Personal Information to a third party for a business purpose. When we disclose Personal Information for a business purpose, we enter into 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 for performing the contract.

We may share Consumers’ Personal Information for a business purpose to the following categories of third parties:

5. Sales of Personal Information
In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have not sold Personal Information.
6. Sale of Personal Information of Minors Under 16 Years of Age
We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from minors under the age of 16 through our Website or App, although certain third party websites that we link to may do so. These third-party websites have their own terms of use and privacy policies, and we encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s internet usage and instruct their children to never provide information on other websites without their permission.
At this time, we do not sell the Personal Information of Consumers, including Consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age.
If a Consumer has reason to believe that a minor under the age of 16 has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us with sufficient detail to enable us to delete that information.

Only a Consumer, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that a Consumer authorizes to act on his or her behalf, may make a verifiable request related to a Consumer’s Personal Information. A Consumer’s request to us must:
• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify the Consumer is the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative
• Describe the Consumer’s request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it
• We cannot respond to a Consumer request or provide a Consumer with the required information if we cannot:
• Verify a Consumer identity or authority to make the request; and,
• Confirm that the Personal Information relates to the requesting Consumer
We will disclose and deliver the required information free of charge within 45 days of receiving a Consumer’s verifiable request. The time period to provide the required information may be extended once by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary and with prior notice.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable request’s receipt. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide Consumer Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow a Consumer to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance
