Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), California residents are afforded certain rights about the Personal Information (as such capitalized term is defined under the CCPA) we have collected about them, which we have described in more detail below.

​

We are both a “business” and a “service provider” under the CCPA, depending on how you interact with us. This section applies only to personal information we collect in our role as a business.
 

Rights under the CCPA 

If you are a California resident, the processing of certain personal information about you may be subject to the CCPA. Where the CCPA applies, this section provides additional privacy disclosures and informs you of key additional rights as a California resident. We will never discriminate against you for exercising your rights, including providing a different level or quality of services or denying goods or services to you when you exercise your rights under the CCPA.

Right to Know Request

Under the CCPA, California residents have a right to request information about our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information over the prior twelve (12) months, and ask that we provide you free of charge with the following information: 

1. the categories of personal information about you that we collected;

2. the categories of sources from which the personal information was collected;

3. the purpose for collecting personal information about you;

4. the categories of third parties to whom we disclosed personal information about you and the categories of personal information that was disclosed (if applicable) and the purpose for disclosing the personal information about you; and

5. the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.

Right to Delete Request

Under the CCPA, you also have a right to request that we delete personal information, subject to certain exceptions. 

Right to Opt-Out of the Sale of Personal Information 

You may request that we not sell your Personal Information. Please note, however, that CCPA defines “sale” very broadly, and includes “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a California consumer’s Personal Information by the business to another business or third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.” We use services that help deliver interest-based ads to you and may transfer Personal Information to business partners for their use. Making Personal Information (such as online identifiers or browsing activity) available to these companies is considered a “sale” under the CCPA.

How to Exercise Your Rights

If you are a California resident to whom the CCPA applies, you may contact us to exercise your rights: Click here to request or delete your data. Once we receive your request, we will review it, determine whether we can verify your identity, and process the request accordingly. We may need to collect information from you to verify your identity, such as your email address, government issued ID or date of birth. You may make a verifiable consumer request to access your personal information twice per twelve (12) month period. We aim to fulfill all verified requests within 45 days pursuant to the CCPA.  If necessary, extensions for an additional 45 days will be accompanied by an explanation for the delay.

You may designate, in writing or through a power of attorney document, an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf to exercise your rights. Before accepting such a request from an agent, we will require that the agent provide proof that you have authorized them to act on your behalf, and we may need you to verify your identity directly with us.

We are both a “business” and a “service provider” under the CCPA, depending on how you interact with us. This section applies only to personal information we collect in our role as a business. Where we act on a Merchant’s behalf to fulfil an order with regard to the Merchant’s customer, we are a Service Provider under the CCPA. Please read the Merchant’s privacy policy for further information on how to exercise your rights under the CCPA. The Merchant is your contact for any questions you have about how it handles your Personal Information.

In the chart below, we have described the categories of Personal Information that we have collected and shared over the past twelve (12) months, the purposes for such collection and the types of entities with whom we have shared such information.

Any changes we make to this Privacy Policy in the future will be posted on this page. Therefore, we encourage you to check this page frequently from time to time.
