The list above does not address our handling of personal information that is subject to an exemption under Section 1798.145(c) – (f) of the CCPA.

(b) California Consumer Rights. California law provides certain rights to California consumers and places limitations on certain business practices. One such right is the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) defines personal information as any information that can be used to identify a person or their household. As a provider of services, we use your personal information to perform our contract with you and provide our services. We may also use data collection tools like cookies and web beacons and share your digital activity information with third parties to receive feedback about the performance of our marketing campaigns and website usage. However, some instances of data sharing may be considered a sale under CCPA. You can request us to stop sharing or selling your personal information, and we will honor your request for at least 12 months before asking you to opt back in. You can make this request personally or through an authorized agent, who will need to provide evidence of their agent status. Your request will be subject to an identification process, and we will not fulfill it unless you have provided all necessary information.

• Deletion: You can ask us to delete your personal information that we have collected about you, except in certain situations where we need to retain the information for legal compliance, security, or debugging purposes.
