U.S. State Privacy Rights Notice At Collection

 

Except as otherwise provided, this section applies to residents of California and other states to the extent they have privacy laws applicable to us that grant their residents the rights described below (collectively the “State Privacy Laws”).

​

This State Privacy Rights Notice At Collection is part of our full Privacy Policy.

​

This section describes how we collect, retain, use, disclose, sell and share for the purposes of targeted advertising personal information of residents of these states and the rights these users may have with respect to their personal information. Please note that not all rights listed below may be afforded to all individuals and that if your state does not afford you these rights, you may not be able to exercise these rights. In addition, we may not be able to process your access, correction or deletion request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to confirm your identity and understand and respond to your request.

 

For purposes of this section, the term “personal information” means information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person, or that is reasonably capable of being used to identify, contact, or precisely locate a natural person, household, or a particular computing system or device.

 

We do not attempt to reidentify deidentified information derived from personal information, except for the purpose of testing whether our deidentification processes comply with applicable law.

 

Your privacy rights. You may request to exercise the rights listed below. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable law. We may decline to honor your request where an exception applies.

• Right to know. You can request to know whether we process your personal information. You can request the following information about how we have collected and used your personal information during the past 12 months and how we will continue to do so:

  • The categories of sources from which we collected personal information.

  • The business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, and/or sharing personal information for targeted advertising purposes.

  • The categories of personal information that we sold or shared for targeted advertising purposes, and the categories of third parties to whom this information was sold or shared, categorized by the type of personal information for each type of third party.

We do not process your personal information for targeted advertising purposes or sell your personal information. We do not sell personal information (including Sensitive Personal Information), and we do not "share" or otherwise process personal information (including Sensitive Personal Information) for purposes of cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising, as defined under applicable law. We have not engaged in such activities in the 12 months preceding the date this Privacy Policy was last updated. Without limiting the foregoing, we do not sell or "share"/knowingly sell or "share" personal information (including Sensitive Personal Information) of minors under 18 years of age.

Verification of Identity; Authorized agents. We may need to verify your identity to process your know, access, correction, or deletion requests and reserve the right to confirm your residency. We may need to request your personal information in order to verify your identity and protect against fraudulent requests.

Under some State Privacy Laws, you may enable an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. However, we may need to verify your authorized agent’s identity and authority to act on your behalf. Depending on the kind of request you have made, we may require a copy of a valid power of attorney given to your authorized agent pursuant to applicable law. If you have not provided your agent with such a power of attorney, we may ask you to take additional steps permitted by law to verify that your request is authorized, such as by providing your agent with written and signed permission to exercise your State Privacy Law rights on your behalf, the information we request to verify your identity, or confirmation that you have given the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

​

We have summarized the personal information we collect and may disclose, sell to or share with third parties by reference below to both the categories of personal information defined in the “Personal Information we collect,” “How we use your personal information,” and “How we share your personal information” sections of this Policy above and the categories of personal information specified in state law.
