The categories of personal information we collected about you.
The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.

The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
If we disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

We do not provide access rights to B2B information.

E. Your right to obtain a copy of your personal information

You have a right to obtain a copy of the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request). Once we verify your request, we will provide you a copy of your personal information that is responsive to your request.

We do not provide portability rights to B2B information.

F. Your right to delete your personal information

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we verify your request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We do not provide deletion rights to B2B information.

G. Your right to opt-out of sale of your information

We do not sell our email lists or other personal information we collect about you for money. However, we may share information with third parties in a way that is considered a “sale” under the CCPA. Where that is the case, we will comply with California “Do Not Sell” requirements.

H. How to exercise your CCPA rights

To exercise your right to know, right to obtain a copy, or right to delete your personal information as described above, please submit your request to us by either:

Emailing us at [email protected]

Contacting us here.

To exercise the right to opt-out of sale of your personal information, you can submit a request to us by email to [email protected]

Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back into personal information sales at any time by email to [email protected]

I. How we verify requests and respond to requests

Before fulfilling your request, we take steps to verify you are who you say you are or that you have authority to act upon someone else’s behalf. Therefore, upon receipt of your request, we will request additional information that we need to verify you and, if you are submitting a request on behalf of someone else, to verify that you are permitted to act on that person’s behalf.

When we contact you to request verification information, please respond and provide the information that we have requested. Depending on the nature of the request you make, we may require you to verify your identity to either a reasonable degree of certainty or high degree of certainty. This may mean that we need to match two or three pieces of information that we hold about you with information that you provide to us. In some cases, we may require you to sign a declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request or that you are authorized to make the request on behalf of someone else.

In addition to providing the information we need to verify you or your authority, you must provide us with enough information so that we can understand, evaluate, and respond to your request. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot confirm the personal information relates to you.

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify your identity or authority to make the request and to locate relevant information. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and to understand, evaluate, and respond to your request.

We cannot delete personal information in those situations where our retention is required for our own internal business purposes or otherwise permitted by the CCPA (such as fraud prevention or legal compliance). In these situations, we will retain your information in accordance with our records retention program and securely delete it at the end of the retention period.

J. Who may submit requests?

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request related to your personal information. You may also make request on behalf of your minor child. To designate an authorized agent, you must provide the authorized agent with signed permission to make the request. If your authorized agent is a business entity, then the authorized agent must be registered with the California Secretary of State to conduct business in California. We may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that it has been authorized to submit a request on your behalf. Further, before responding to a request from an authorized agent, we will still require you to (1) verify that you have provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request on your behalf; and (2) verify your identity directly with us.

K. How often you can submit requests?

You may make a CCPA consumer request twice within a 12-month period.

L. Response timing and format

We make every attempt to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. When you request a copy of your personal information, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity easily.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

M. Non-discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. You have a right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us for exercising your privacy rights.

12. Nevada privacy rights

Nevada residents have the right to opt out of the sale of certain “covered information” collected by operators of websites or online services. We currently do not sell covered information, as “sale” is defined by such law, and we do not have plans to sell this information.

13. Changes to our privacy notice

We will post any changes we may make to our privacy notice on this page. The date the privacy notice was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring that we have an up-to-date email address for you and for periodically visiting our website and this page to check for any changes.
