    Notice to California Consumers

    If you are a California consumer, the following provisions apply to our processing of information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your household (“California Personal Information”). For California consumers, the provisions of this California section prevail over any conflicting provisions in other sections of this Privacy Policy.

    We have collected the following categories of California Personal Information with the last 12 months from the sources listed below:

    Please see the “Information We Collect” section to learn more about the information we collect.

    For each of the above categories, we use the California Personal Information for business purposes such as:

  • Audits and reporting relating to transactions and interactions with us

  • Detecting and protecting against security incidents, and malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity

    As required under applicable law, please note that we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to information or acting on your request. We may require you to provide your name and email address, and you will, therefore, need access to your email account to receive our communications necessary to process your request.

    Under California law, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. You may make such a designation by providing the agent with written permission to act on your behalf. We will require the agent to provide proof of that written permission. As permitted by law, we may require you to verify your own identity in response to a request, even if you choose to use an agent.

    We may not discriminate against you because of your exercise of any of the above rights or any other rights, subject to the rights and the obligations under the California Consumer Privacy Act, including by:

  • Denying you good or services

  • Charging different prices or rates for goods or services

  • Proving you a different level or quality of goods or services

  • Suggesting that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services

    California Business & Professions Code Section 22575(b) (as amended effective January 1, 2014) provides that California residents are entitled to know how we respond to “Do Not Track” browser settings. We do not currently take actions to respond to Do Not Track signals because a uniform technological standard has not yet been developed.
