This section (the "California Notice") covers our Collection, use, disclosure, and Sale of California consumers' "Personal Information" ("PI") as such are defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (together with related amendments and regulations, the "CCPA"). This California Notice also explains the rights California Consumers have under the CCPA, as well as other notices to Californians required by other laws. The description of our data practices in the Information Collection and Personal Data Details sections of this Privacy Policy covers the prior calendar year and will be updated annually. Our current practices may change and will be updated in this Privacy Policy. If our practices materially change, we will provide appropriate pre-collection notices, which may include reference to this Privacy Policy or other applicable privacy policies and notices. We recommend you regularly review this Notice.
Please also note that, in addition to the information in the sections above, when you use our Application, we and third parties may use tracking technologies to collect usage information based on your device for a variety of purposes, including serving you advertising, based on your having visited our services or your activities across time and third-party locations. Some browsers may enable you to turn on or off a so-called "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no industry consensus on what these signals should mean and how they should operate, we do not look for or respond to "Do Not Track" signals.
Subject to restrictions and obligations of the CCPA, our service providers may also use your PI for some or all of the business purposes identified in this Privacy Policy as well as those disclosures noted in the Information Collection and Information Use sections of this Privacy Policy. Our service providers may themselves engage services providers or subcontractors to enable them to perform services for us. That subcontracting is, for purposes of clarity, an additional business purpose for which we are providing you notice.
We may additionally collect and use your PI for commercial purposes, such as for interest-based advertising.
Please note that we process your personal data to:
Consistent with the CCPA and our interest in the security of your PI, in response to a CCPA rights request from you, even if we are in possession of the following, we will not deliver to you a Social Security number; driver's license number or other government-issued ID numbers; financial account number; any health or medical identification number; an account password; security questions or answers in response to your security questions; or unique biometric data generated from measurements or technical analysis of human characteristics. However, you may be able to access some of this information yourself through your account if available and if you have an active account with us.
CCPA Right-to-Know Categories Request - You have the right to send us a request, no more than twice in a twelve (12)-month period, for any of the following for the period that is twelve (12) months prior to the request date:
CCPA Specific Pieces of PI Request- You have the right to make or obtain a transportable copy, no more than twice in a twelve (12)-month period, of your PI that we have collected in the period that is twelve (12) months prior to the request date and are maintaining.
CCPA Deletion Request- You may request that we delete the PI that we have collected directly from you and are maintaining. However, we may have a basis for the retention of your PI under the CCPA. Our retention rights include (i) to complete transactions and services you have requested or that are reasonably anticipated; (ii) for security purposes; and (iii) for legitimate internal business purposes, including to maintain business records, to comply with law, to exercise or defend legal claims, and to cooperate with law enforcement. Note also that we are not required to delete your PI that we did not collect directly from you.
Nevada law allows customers to "opt out" of the sale of certain personal information, called "covered information." We do not sell covered information as defined in the law, and we have no plans to change that practice. If you want to be notified if we do change that practice, you may email us here and provide your name, Nevada resident address, and email address. We will contact you if there are any changes, and you can complete your opt out at that time. If your contact information changes at any point, contact us in the same manner to update your contact information. We may share your data as explained in this Privacy Policy for different purposes, such as to make your experience and our Application Services better, and those activities are separate from your opt-out request.
