We may also follow up with you to verify your identity according to the above method before processing the authorized agent’s request.
  • Right to Opt Out of the Sale/Sharing – We do not sell your personal information or disclose your personal information for cross-context advertising.  You have the right to opt out of the sharing of your personal information and the disclosure of your personal information. We will not share your personal information after we receive your opt-out request unless you later authorize us to do so again.  You can exercise your opt out right by going to the following link: “Do Not Share My Personal Information”. You may also exercise your opt-out rights by broadcasting the Global Privacy Control (GPC) on the browsers and/or browser extensions that support such a signal. 

 

  • Right to Limit Processing of Sensitive Personal Information - You have the right to tell us not to process sensitive personal information except for limited purposes under applicable law, including the purposes set forth above.  Sensitive personal information includes the following categories of information described above: § 1798.80: personal information, characteristics of protected classifications, sensitive identifiers, health information, biometrics, religion, sex life, sexual orientation, personal communications, financial account information, and log in credentials. By exercising this right, we will limit our use of your sensitive personal information to that which is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by you to perform the purposes set forth above.  We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those specified in this Privacy Policy.  

 

  • Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Consumer’s Privacy Rights - You may exercise your rights under the CPRA without discrimination. However, if you refuse to provide your personal information to us or ask us to delete or stop sharing your personal information, and that personal information or disclosure is necessary for us to provide you with goods or services, we may not be able to complete that transaction. For example, if we do not have your bank account information, we will not be able to set up a direct deposit of any payment owed to you for your services.
