This CCPA Notice applies to California residents’ Personal Information, which we collect directly or indirectly while interacting with our website and additional Properties, using our Services or in order to provide our Services, or employee and business-to-business Personal Information.
This CCPA Notice is an integral part of our Privacy Policy, and thus, definitions used herein shall have the same meaning as defined in the Privacy Policy referencing you to this CCPA Notice.
PART I: A COMPREHENSIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE INFORMATION PRACTICES:
(A) CATEGORIES of PERSONAL information WE COLLECT
We collect Personal Information which is defined under the CCPA as any information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer, household or device, all as detailed in the table below.
Personal Information further includes Sensitive Personal Information (“SPI”) as detailed in the table below.
Personal Information does not include: Publicly available information that is lawfully made available from government records, that a consumer has otherwise made available to the public; De-identified or aggregated consumer information; Information excluded from the CCPA’s scope, such as: Health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data; Personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA) and the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act of 1994.
We have collected the following categories of personal information within the last twelve (12) months:
(B) CATEGORIES OF SOURCES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
(C) USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may use the Personal Information collected as identified above, for the following purposes:
- to fulfill or meet the reason you provided the Personal Information (support, respond to a query, etc.);
- monitor and improve our Services;
- provide the Services;
- market our Services;
- analyzing our Services and your use of the Services;
- respond to law enforcement; or
- as otherwise as detailed in our Privacy Policy.
We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the Personal Information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.
(D) DISCLOSURES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR A BUSINESS PURPOSE
We may disclose your Personal Information to a contractor or service provider for a business purpose. When we disclose Personal Information for a business purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract; we further restrict the contractor and service provider from selling or sharing your Personal Information.
In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have disclosed the following categories of Personal Information for a business purpose:
(E) SALE OR SHARE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
In the preceding twelve (12) months, we did not “sell” information as most people would commonly understand that term. We do not, and will not, disclose your Personal Information in direct exchange for money or some other form of payment. We may “share” Personal Information for “interest-based advertising” or “cross-context behavioral advertising”. The CCPA defines “sharing” as “communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information” to “a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising, whether or not for money or other valuable consideration”. In other words, we may share your Personal Information with a third party to help serve personalized content or ads that may be more relevant to your interests, and to perform other advertising-related services such as enabling our partners to serve such personalized content.
Further, as we promote our Service through online campaigns, we place third-party marketing and analytic cookies on our website, sharing the unique identifier with such partners for analytic and marketing purposes may also fall under the definition or “share and sell”, and therefore, we offer the opportunity to opt-out through the cookie setting presented on our website’s footer. For additional information regarding the tracking technologies, we use on our website please review our cookies list presented in the website’s footer.
In the preceding twelve (12) months, we “sell” or “share” the following categories of Personal Information for a business purpose:
(F) CHILDREN UNDER AGE 16
We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 16.
(G) DATA RETENTION
The retention periods are determined according to the following criteria:
- For as long as it remains necessary in order to achieve the purpose for which the Personal Information was initially processed. For example: if you contacted us, we will retain your contact information at least until we will address your inquiry.
- To comply with our regulatory obligations.
- To resolve a claim we might have or a dispute with you, including any legal proceeding between us, until such dispute will be resolved, and following, if we find it necessary, in accordance with applicable statutory limitation periods.
Please note that except as required by applicable law, we will not be obligated to retain your data for any particular period, and we may delete it for any reason and at any time, without providing you with prior notice if our intention to do so.
Online identifiers are usually kept for a few days. Other information usually will not be retained for more than 24-months.
When we destroy your Personal Information, we do so in a way that prevents that information from being restored or reconstructed.
