In some cases, for instance if you have an account with us, you can update your information by logging into your account.
D. Consumers’ Opt-Out Rights
- Do Not Sell My Personal Information. If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right, at any time, to direct us to not sell your personal information. 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 at least 13 but not yet 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.
- Do Not Share My Personal Information; Targeted Advertising. Consumers have the right to opt out of having their personal information shared for cross context behavioral advertising purposes and having their information used for targeted advertisements. When Consumers opt out we will not share their personal information with others that they can use to send the Consumer targeted advertisements and we will not use information we obtain over time from Consumers’ activities with third party companies to show advertisements. We can still use information that we receive from your interactions with us to select advertisements we think may be of interest to you.
- Limit Processing of Sensitive Personal Information. Consumers have the right to tell us not to process Sensitive Personal Information for any purpose other than the purpose
permitted by the Privacy Laws. Please understand that we only process Sensitive Personal Information for the purposes allowed by the Privacy Laws, so there is no need to opt out.

Profiling is any automated processing performed on personal information that is used to evaluate, analyze, or predict personal aspects related your economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
EXERCISING CONSUMERS’ RIGHTS
A. Making a Consumer Request
Consumers may make a verifiable Consumer request for access or data portability only twice within a 12-month period. All other requests may be made at any time. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable Consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
- Access, Correction and Deletion. To exercise the access, correction, and deletion rights Consumers may contact us by calling us at 888-240-4170 or visiting our disclosure request page here. We will ask you for information that allows us to reasonably verify your identity (that you are the person about whom we collected personal information) and will use that information only for that purpose. We may request that you submit a signed statement under penalty of perjury that you are the individual you claim to be. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. However, you may request that we disclose the required information beyond the 12-month period, and we will honor that expanded request unless doing so would involve a disproportionate effort. Your right to request required information beyond the 12-month period, and our obligation to provide that information, shall only apply to personal information collected on or after January 1, 2022.
- Opt-Out Rights. To opt out of the sale of your personal information or the sharing of your personal information or to ask us to limit processing of your Sensitive Personal Information, you may submit a request to us by visiting our Do-Not-Sell or Share/ Limit Processing web page here. You may also call us toll free at 888-240-4170.
- You may also opt out by activating a user-enabled global privacy control, such as a browser plug-in or privacy setting, device setting, or other mechanism, that communicates or signals your choice to opt-out of the sale and sharing of personal information. When we receive such a signal we will stop setting third party, analytics, or advertising partner cookies on your browser. This will prevent the sale or sharing of information relating to that specific device through cookies to our advertising or analytics partners. This option does not stop all sales or sharing of your information because we cannot match your device’s identification or internet protocol address with your personally identifiable information like your name, phone number, email address or ZIP Code. If you delete cookies on your browser, any prior do not sell or do not share signal is also deleted and you should make sure that your user-enabled setting is always activated.
B. Using an Authorized Agent.
You may submit a request through someone holding a formal Power of Attorney. Otherwise, you may submit a request using an authorized agent only if (1) the person is registered with the Secretary of State to do business in California, (2) you provide the authorized agent with signed written permission to make a request, (3) you verify directly with us that you have authorize the person to make the request on your behalf, (4) you verify your own identity directly with us and (5) your agent provides us with proof that they are so authorized. We will require the agent to submit proof to us that they have been authorized to make requests on your behalf.
C. Our Responses.
We will acknowledge receipt of your request for access, correction or deletion within 10 business days and will endeavor to respond within forty-five days of receipt of your request, but if we require more time (up to an additional forty-five days) we will notify you of our need for additional time.
For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance (e.g. Microsoft Excel file and/or Adobe PDF file).
For requests for deletion of your information, please understand that Privacy Laws permit us to retain certain information and not delete it under certain circumstances noted above in the description of Information Deletion Request Rights.
For requests that we not sell or share your information or limit processing or Sensitive Personal Information we will comply with your request promptly, and at least within 15 business days. Once we receive your request we will wait at least 12 months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales or sharing.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity and confirm that the personal information relates to you.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable Consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
