We provide personal information to third parties other than service providers only when individuals expressly consent (e.g., when site visitors opt in to our use of advertising cookies) or when the disclosure of personal information is exempt from the CCPA (e.g., disclosure to ensure the security of our services). Therefore, we do not “sell” or “share” personal information as defined by the CCPA.In the limited circumstances in which we process sensitive personal information as defined by the CCPA, we will not use or disclose that information except for the disclosed and permitted business purposes not restricted by the CCPA.

Whenever possible, we will match at least two data points of identifying information provided by the consumer with personal information we already hold. However, more data points may be required depending on the information requested. We do not collect sensitive personal information unless necessary. For online deletion requests, we use a two-step process in which consumers first submit a deletion request and then separately confirm their desire to delete their personal information. For disclosure and deletion requests, we will acknowledge receipt of the request within 10 days and provide information about how the business will process the request. We will then respond within 45 days, subject to an additional 45-day extension upon notice to you.
