As described in the section "Sales and Sharing of Personal Information" above, we do not “sell” Personal Information. We do process Personal Information for the purpose of displaying targeted advertisements if you instruct us to do so, which could be deemed "sharing" of Personal Information for “cross-context behavioral advertising” under California law.

Limit the Use and Disclosure of Your Sensitive Personal Information: We do not use or disclose "sensitive personal information,” as defined by the CPRA, other than as described in the Section "Use of Personal Information" above or as otherwise permitted under applicable privacy law.

As a result, we do not offer an ability to limit the use of sensitive personal information.

You have the right to be free from unlawful discrimination for exercising your rights under the CCPA and CPRA. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA or CPRA rights.

California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) also permits California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

Please note that the rights described above are not absolute, and where an exception under applicable law applies, we may be entitled to refuse requests in whole or in part. For example, where responding to your request involves disproportionate effort, when we are unable to verify your identity or if the rights and freedoms of another individual would be negatively affected. As a California consumer, you may exercise your consumer rights, free of charge, once for each customer in a 12-month period.
