Personal Information of Minors

Our Services are not directed to minors under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly sell or share for purposes of behavioral advertising the personal information of minors, including minors under 16 years of age. 

Third Party Websites 

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites, including social media buttons that link to social media platforms.

Securing Your Personal Data 

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information provided via the Services from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.  However, there is no perfect security, and reasonable security is a process that involves risk management rather than risk elimination.  While we are committed to maintaining a reasonable information security program, no such program can be perfect; in other words, all risk cannot reasonably be eliminated. Data security incidents and breaches can occur due to factors that cannot reasonably be prevented.  Accordingly, it cannot be assumed that the occurrence of any given incident or breach results from our failure to implement and maintain reasonable security.

U.S. State Data Privacy Rights 

Consumer Rights Under Comprehensive U.S. State Data Privacy Laws 

We may be subject to state privacy laws in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Virginia which give state residents various rights with respect to many types of personal information we collect about them, with some exceptions.  In addition, there are state privacy laws in other states that come into effect after the date of this Privacy Policy including laws in Delaware and Nebraska (effective Jan. 1, 2025) and New Jersey (effective Jan. 15, 2025). 

The rights provided under these laws are similar in many respects, with some differences from state to state.  We list below the rights that may be applicable to our business under these laws, noting that not all rights are available under each state’s law: 

Right to Know: The right to confirm whether we are processing a resident’s personal information and to access such data.  Laws in some states provide the right to know more detailed information.

  • Oregon’s privacy law gives residents the right to request a list of third party entities to which we have disclosed personal information. 

Right to Access / Copy: The right to access or request a copy of the personal information we have collected from the resident, subject to certain exceptions.

Right to Limit the Use of Sensitive Personal Information: California’s law gives residents the right to request that we not use or disclose their sensitive personal information for inferring characteristics about a consumer or for purposes other than to provide goods and services, protect and investigate fraud and other security-related issues, nonpersonalized advertising, and similar purposes described in the law.   

Rights to Opt Out:  Various rights to request that we stop using the resident’s personal information for one or more of the following purposes:

Please note, California’s law is the only law that applies to all state residents, irrespective of the context in which they interact with us (e.g., a customer, a business contact, a vendor).  Laws in other states apply only to people when acting in an individual or household context.

Consumer Rights Under U.S. State Consumer Health Data Privacy Laws

We have a separate Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice that relates to rights provided under consumer health data privacy laws in Nevada and Washington state to residents of those states acting in an individual or household context with respect to their consumer health data.  Washington’s law may also apply to individuals whose consumer health data is processed in that state.  You can access our Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice here.

California Shine the Light

With reference to California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine the Light” law, we allow California residents to opt out of the disclosure of personal information to third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes.  To exercise that opt-out option, click here.

Exercising Your Rights

We will respond to requests from residents of states with data privacy laws that apply to us and will do so with respect to the rights that are provided under the requestor’s state law as of the effective date of that law.  The laws in some states listed above may not be in effect as of the date of this Privacy Policy.

Verification of Requests 

When you exercise rights other than opt-out rights and the right to limit collection of sensitive personal information, we will take steps to verify your identity.  We will ask you for different types of identifying information, depending on the nature of the request, and attempt to match those to information that we maintain or collect about you.

If we are unable to verify your identity with the degree of certainty required, we will not be able to respond to the request.  We will notify you to explain the basis of the denial.

When We Do Not Act on a Request – Appeal Process
