for valuable consideration. This means that We may have received some kind of benefit in return
for sharing personal information, but not necessarily a monetary benefit.
Please note that the categories listed below are those defined in the CCPA. This does not mean
that all examples of that category of personal information were in fact sold, but reflects our good
faith belief to the best of our knowledge that some of that information from the applicable
category may be and may have been shared for value in return.
We may sell and may have sold in the last twelve (12) months the following categories of
personal information:
- Category A: Identifiers
- Category B: Personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records
statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e))
- Category F: Internet or other similar network activity
Share of Personal Information
We may share Your personal information identified in the above categories with the following
categories of third parties:
- Service Providers
- Our affiliates
- Our business partners
- Third party vendors to whom You or Your agents authorize Us to disclose Your personal
information in connection with products or services We provide to You
Sale of Personal Information of Minors Under 16 Years of
Age
We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under the age of 16 through our
Service, although certain third party websites that we link to may do so. These third-party
websites have their own terms of use and privacy policies and we encourage parents and legal
guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and instruct their children to never provide
information on other websites without their permission.
We do not sell the personal information of Consumers We actually know are less than 16 years
of age, unless We receive affirmative authorization (the "right to opt-in") from either the
Consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a Consumer less
than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to the sale of personal information may opt-out of
future sales at any time. To exercise the right to opt-out, You (or Your authorized representative)
may submit a request to Us by contacting Us.
If You have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 (or 16) has provided Us with
personal information, please contact Us with sufficient detail to enable Us to delete that
information.
