California Law provides consumers with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. The following section describes your California Law rights and explains how to exercise those rights. Your California Law rights include the:

• Right to Know or Access: Request that we disclose to you your Personal Information that we collected, used, disclosed, shared, and sold. 

• Right to Delete: Request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions.

• Right to Opt Out of Sales or Sharing of Personal Information: We do not sell your Personal Information for monetary profit.

To download and use a browser supporting the opt-out preference signal, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/orgs.

• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for choosing to exercise any of your rights. If you exercise certain rights, understand that you may be unable to use or access certain features of the Website. 

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise your California privacy rights, please submit a request by contacting us via the methods in Section 9 “How to Contact Us.”

Identify Verification

We may require you to prove your identity to exercise certain rights. Depending on your request, we will ask for information such as your name, your telephone number, email address, and/or date of last communication with us. We may also ask you to provide a signed declaration confirming your identity. We will only use Personal Information provided in your consumer request to verify your identity or authority to make the request.

Only you, your parent, guardian (if you are under 13 years or age), conservator, a person to whom you have given power of attorney, or an authorized agent may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may, however, make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child if necessary. Your verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative. We cannot respond to your request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for your right to access twice within a 12-month period.

Data Retention

We retain your Personal Information so long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed. When determining the retention period, we take into account criteria, such as the type of services requested by or provided to you, the nature and length of our relationship with you, use of our Website, and the impact on the Website functionality if we delete your Personal Information.

Notice of Financial Incentive 

We may offer you various incentives, including special offers, discounts, rewards, and coupons pursuant to certain rewards and loyalty programs (each, a “Rewards Program”), throughout the year for providing us with your Personal Information. Categories of Personal Information that may be collected pursuant to a Rewards Program, include, but are not limited to the categories of Personal Information described in Section 1 “Your Information We Collect.”

We do not assign a monetary value to the data we collect, but based on a good-faith estimate, we believe the value received from your Personal Information is reasonably equal to the value of the benefit we offer you pursuant to a Rewards Program. This estimate is not specific to any specific individual who participates in a Rewards Program (a “Member”) and may vary by Member. We have calculated such value by taking into consideration, without limitation, relevant factors related to the estimated value of such information to us, as set forth under California Law.

If eligible, you may opt into a Rewards Program by following the instructions set forth in a Rewards Program’s terms and conditions and, if applicable, by creating a member account on the Rewards Program’s website. Material terms of participating in a Rewards Program, including all terms and conditions concerning the collection, use and retention of a Member’s Personal Information, are set forth in the applicable terms and conditions, this Notice, and/or our Terms of Service and should be carefully reviewed prior to participation in a Rewards Program. 

You have the right to cancel your membership and participation in a Rewards Program at any time. To opt out of a Rewards Program, including the receipt of marketing emails provided pursuant to your status as a Member of a Rewards Program, please contact us via the methods in Section 9 “How to Contact Us.”

Your Rights Under “Shine the Light”

In addition to your rights under California Law, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents to request information regarding our disclosure, if any, of their Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If this applies, you may obtain the categories of Personal Information disclosed and the names and addresses of all third parties that received Personal Information for their direct marketing purposes during the immediately prior calendar year (e.g., requests made in 2024 will receive information about 2023 sharing activities). To make such a request, please provide sufficient information for us to determine if this applies to you, attest to the fact that you are a California resident and provide a current California address for our response. You may make this request in writing by contacting us via the methods in Section 9 “How to Contact Us.”
