(c) Company does not “sell” your personal information as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act and its implementing regulations

(d) Privacy Policy: California law requires among other things that we disclose the following in our Privacy Policy: (1) the information we collect about you, (2) the categories of sources from which we collect information about you, and (3) the business or commercial purposes for which we use the information we collect about you. Please see the following sections above in the Policy to view this information: “What Information Does Company Collect”; “Categories of Sources of Information”; and “How Will Company Use My Information.”

(ii) Right to Know:

California law provides California consumers with the right to request that certain covered businesses provide you (i) the categories of personal information we collect, use, disclose or sell about you; (ii) the categories of sources of such information; (iii) the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your personal information (as applicable); (iv) the categories of personal information we sell or have sold or disclosed for a business purpose about the consumer and the categories of third parties to whom we’ve disclosed your personal information and, (v) specific pieces of personal information that a business has collected about the consumer. This “Right to Know” is subject to certain exceptions. Furthermore, Company is not required to respond to requests for the Right to Know from users acting as an employee, owner, director, officer, or contractor of another entity or within the context of another entity in conducting due diligence regarding, or providing or receiving a product or service to or from such company.

(iii) Right to Delete:

California law provides California consumers with the right to request that certain covered businesses delete personal information that they have collected from you. This “Right to Delete” is subject to certain exceptions. Furthermore, Company is not required to respond to requests for the Right to Know from users acting as an employee, owner, director, officer, or contractor of another entity or within the context of another entity in conducting due diligence regarding, or providing or receiving a product or service to or from such company. Please note, we need certain types of information so that we can provide the services to you. If you request deletion of your information and we are required to delete your information, you may no longer be able to access or use the services we provide.

(iv) Company does not sell your data:

While the CCPA provides California residents with the right to opt out of the “sale” of their personal information, Company has not “sold” consumer personal information in the preceding 12 months and does not “sell” your personal information as we understand that term to be defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act and its implementing regulations. In addition, Company does not have actual knowledge that it sells the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.

(v) Authorized Agent:

When a consumer uses an authorized agent to submit a request to know or a request to delete, a business may require that the consumer do the following (this does not apply when a consumer has provided the authorized agent with power of attorney pursuant to Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465):

i. Provide the authorized agent signed permission to do so.
ii. Verify their own identity directly with the business.
iii. Directly confirm with the business that they provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

A business may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by the consumer to act on their behalf.

(vi) Additional Rights:

Under California Civil Code Sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents are entitled to ask certain covered businesses for a notice (a) identifying the categories of personal information (as defined by California law) that are shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes and (b) providing contact information for such third parties. However, as disclosed here in our Privacy Policy, Company does not share such personal information for these purposes.

(vii) Financial Incentives:

We do not offer financial incentives for the collection of your data. If this changes, we will notify you prior to doing so, and we will obtain your consent to opt-in to this program before enrolling you.

(viii) Non-discrimination Rights:

You also have the right to not be discriminated against for exercising certain of your rights under the CCPA. If you exercise your rights under the CCPA, we will not:

i. Deny you goods or services.
ii. Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
iii. Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
iv. Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

(ix) How other data privacy laws may affect your ability to request access to, or delete, your data:

Please note that your rights and choices regarding your personal information are often subject to other laws. Personal information collected pursuant to other laws, such as information governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and the California Financial Information Privacy Act, may be exempt from requests to access or delete data.
