PRIVACY RIGHTS OF U.S. USERS

The CCPA, CPRA, and some other state privacy laws provide consumers with specific rights regarding their personal information. This Section describes your rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

• Right to know what information we collect, with whom we share your information, and the right to data portability. You may request that we disclose to you the categories of personal information we collect about you, the categories of sources from which we collected that personal information, the categories of personal information we sold or disclosed, our business or commercial purposes for collecting and selling such personal information, the categories of third parties with whom we shared such personal information, and the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you over the past 12 months. You may also request to receive a copy of certain personal information we process about you. You have the right to receive this information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to request that we transfer that personal information to another party, with certain exceptions according to relevant laws and regulations. We will provide further information to you about this if you make such a request.
• Right to request deletion of your information. You may request we delete some or all of the personal information we maintain about you, subject to certain exceptions. If we cannot delete your personal information, we will give you a reason why we cannot do so. For security reasons, you or your authorized agent may be asked to verify your/their identity. Note that some personal data may be retained as permitted by law (e.g. to comply with legal obligations, to prevent fraud, etc.). We will delete or deidentify personal information not subject to certain exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.
• Opt-out of “sale”/ “sharing” of your personal information. For purposes of this Policy, “sell” or “share” means the sale of your personal information to an outside party for monetary or other valuable consideration, subject to certain exceptions in the CCPA, CPRA or other applicable privacy laws. 

To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by contacting us at the details set out in Section 15 CONTACTS FOR U.S. USERS

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 in to personal information sales at any time by contacting us at the details set out in Section 15 CONTACTS FOR U.S. USERS

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

• Right to correct inaccurate personal information. Taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes of the processing, this right provides an individual with the ability to seek to correct or update personal data that individual considers that we hold about that individual.
• Right to limit use of sensitive information. This right is limited to sensitive personal information used for the purpose of inferring characteristics about an individual.

To exercise the right to limit use and disclosure of sensitive personal information, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by contacting us at the details set out in Section 15 CONTACTS FOR U.S. USERS.

• Right to appeal. Certain state privacy laws provide you with a right to appeal any decision or indecision related to the exercise of your rights.
• Right of Non-Discrimination and Non Retaliation. This right prohibits (a) denying an individual access to or use of goods and services, (b) charging different prices or rates for those goods and services, and/or (c) providing a different level or quality of those goods or services, as a result of the individual exercising any right under any data protection and privacy laws and/or regulations. We will not discriminate against you because you made any of these requests. We will not: (i) deny you goods or services; (ii) charge you different prices or rates for those goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties; (iii) provide you a different level or quality of our goods or services, or (iv) suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for our goods or services or a different level or quality of our goods or services. 

We may deny certain requests, or fulfill a request only in part, based on our legal rights and obligations. For example, we may retain personal information as permitted by law, such as for tax or other record keeping purposes, to maintain an active account, to process transactions and facilitate customer requests, and/or to protect against fraud and other misuse of our Services. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity prior to responding to certain of your requests. The verification steps will vary depending on the sensitivity of the personal information. In some locations, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. When submitting such a request, please ensure you have adequately identified and authorized anyone acting on your behalf.

Shine the Light. California's “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Services that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

We may choose to verify your identity before responding to any such request.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request.
