California Privacy Rights
Under the California Consumer Protection Action of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, “CCPA”), among other rights, California consumers have the right to:
Request that a business that collects a consumer’s personal data disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal data that a business has collected about consumers
Request that a business delete any personal data about the consumer that a business has collected
Request that a business that sells a consumer’s personal data, not sell the consumer’s personal data
If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.
Nondiscrimination
You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination. This means that we will not penalize you for exercising your rights by taking actions such as by denying you goods or services, increasing the price/rate of goods or services, decreasing the service quality, or suggesting that we may penalize you as described above for exercising your rights. However, the CCPA allows us to charge you a different price or provide a different service quality if that difference is reasonably related to the value of the personal data we are unable to use.
Sale of Personal Information
We do not sell, as defined under CCPA, your personal information to third-parties. In the preceding 12 months, we have not sold any personal information.
