State Privacy Rights

California Privacy Rights 

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise such rights. 

Right to know and data portability 

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months (the “right to know”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know, Correct, or Delete), we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
  • If we disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

Right to Correct

You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal data we maintain about you.

Right to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the “right to delete”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know, Correct, or Delete), we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

  • Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
  • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
  • Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  • Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).
  • Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
  • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
  • Comply with a legal obligation.
  • Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

We will delete or deidentify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.

Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information.

We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those permitted by the CCPA. If this changes, we will provide methods to exercise your right to limit such use/disclosure.

Exercising Your Rights to Know, Correct, or Delete

To exercise your rights to know, correct, or delete described above, please submit a request by either:

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know, correct, or delete related to your personal information.  You may also make a request to know, correct, or delete on behalf of your child.

You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know, correct, or delete must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it. Authorized agents must provide proof of authorization, such as a valid power of attorney or written authorization signed by the consumer, and we may require the consumer to verify their identity directly with us.

Response Timing and Format

We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please contact [email protected]

We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • Deny you services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for our services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of services.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for services or a different level or quality of services.

Other State Privacy Rights 

Depending on your state of residence (including, as of October 1, 2025: Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia), you may have rights under applicable state laws concerning the personal information that we collect and maintain about you. These rights may include: (i) the right to access the personal information we maintain; (ii) the right to obtain a copy of the information we maintain about you; (iii) the right to request that we delete certain information we maintain about you; (iv) the right to correct any inaccuracies in the personal information we maintain about you; (v) the right to withdraw your personal information from certain processing activities; (vi) the right to know how we have used your personal information, including whether we have shared it with other parties; and (vii) the right to appeal decisions regarding exercising your consumer rights. The precise scope of these rights may vary by state. Some states also provide rights to opt out of targeted advertising, sale, and certain profiling; where applicable, you can exercise these rights by contacting [email protected].

If you exercise your rights under an applicable state law, we will honor your rights to the extent required under such law, or as we may otherwise agree to honor in our sole discretion. 

Please submit any privacy-related requests to [email protected]. Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may submit a privacy rights request. We endeavor to respond to verifiable requests within the time limits established by applicable law. If we need additional time to comply with your request, we will communicate such extension to you, along with the reason for delay. We may ask you to provide additional information in order to verify and facilitate your requests. If we deny your request, we will provide you with additional information regarding how you may appeal our decision, to the extent required by applicable law.  We will only use the personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it. To appeal a decision, you may email [email protected] with the subject line “Privacy Request Appeal.”

Verification

For your protection, we will verify your identity (and authority, if acting as an agent) before fulfilling certain requests. Verification may require matching information provided in your request with information we maintain, and/or additional documentation. We will use information provided in connection with a request solely to verify and fulfill the request. Authorized agents must provide documentation demonstrating authority, and we may require the consumer to verify their identity directly with us.

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website. We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the personal information we process.

Children Under the Age of 16

Our Website is not intended for children under 16 years of age. No one under age 16 may provide any personal information to or on the Website. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you are under 16, do not use or provide any information on this Website, register on the Website, or provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, email address, or any screen name or user name you may use. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 16 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 16, please contact us at [email protected]. We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) where applicable. Parents or guardians who believe we have collected information from a child under 13 may contact us to request deletion.
