YOUR INFORMATION: WHAT DATA WE COLLECT AND HOW WE COLLECT IT

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your device, web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

“Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For example, we utilize cookies to limit the frequency in which you may see a particular advertisement, or to prevent submitting a response to a survey or quiz if you had already completed it. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
“Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, pages consumed, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps. In addition, we use a 3rd party- Google Analytics to collect, monitor and analyze this data so that we can better understand how visitors use our web sites. This data is also anonymized and cannot be traced back to an individual user.
“Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record anonymous information about how you browse the Site.

Rights for California Consumers

The California Consumer Privacy Act, Civ. Code §1798.100 et. seq. (“CCPA”), grants California residents certain rights relative to their personal information:

California residents may take advantage of the following rights by requesting that we:

Disclose the categories of personal information we have collected about that consumer.
Disclose the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected.
Describe the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information.
Provide a list of the categories of third parties with whom we share personal information.
List the specific pieces of personal information it has collected about that consumer.
Delete certain information we have in our records about you.

California consumers who wish to exercise any of the rights listed directly above may submit a request for data access here or send a request via email to [email protected].

Given the sensitive nature of accessing personal data pursuant to a consumer’s request, we will take reasonable steps to verify the identity of the party making the request before responding. Steps to verify identity may include, at a minimum, confirming the name, email address, and physical address.

Alternatively, an authorized agent may exercise CCPA rights on behalf of a California consumer. Authorized agents must provide signed documentation with written permission or a power of attorney. We may follow up with the California consumer whose data is being accessed before processing the agent’s request.

California consumers have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising their CCPA rights.

If we are asked to delete certain personal information pursuant to CCPA, Section 1798.105, that information will no longer be accessible.
California residents may opt out of the “sale” of their personal information—as defined by CCPA Section 1798.140, subdivision (t)—by submitting a “do not sell my personal information” request or sending an email to [email protected].
