Your California Privacy Rights

​

We do not share “personal information” (as defined by California Civil Code § 1798.83) with other people or non-affiliated businesses for their direct marketing purposes. The Website does not currently respond to browser do-not-track signals.

​

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), California consumers have the right to request:

 

• the deletion of the Personal Information we have about them

• additional information about whether and how we have collected, used, disclosed, and sold Personal Information about them

• the specific pieces of Personal Information we have about them

​

California consumers also have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment if they exercise the rights listed above.

​

When you make a request, we may require that you provide information and follow procedures so that we can verify the request and your jurisdiction before responding to it. The verification steps we take may differ depending on the request you make. We will match the information that you provide in your request to information we already have on file to verify your identity. If we are able to verify your request, we will process it. If we cannot verify your request, we may ask you for additional information to help us verify your request.

​

Consumers will be required to submit their first and last name and email address and may also be asked to provide their telephone number so that we can verify the request. Please provide as much of the requested information as possible to help us verify the request. We will only use the information received in a request for the purposes of responding to the request.

​

California law permits California consumers to use an authorized agent to make privacy rights requests. We require the authorized agent to provide us with proof of the California consumer’s written permission (for example, a power of attorney) that shows the authorized agent has the authority to submit a request for the California consumer. An authorized agent must follow the process described below to make a request. The authorized agent must also verify his/her own identity. We will confirm the agent’s authority with the California consumer about whom the request was made.
