We do not sell your personal information to third parties or share information with third parties for cross context behavioral advertising. We do not have actual knowledge that we sell or share the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.

Your Right to Request Correction of Inaccurate Personal Information

You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information maintained by us. We may request documentation from you to determine the accuracy of the information maintained by us. If you provide us documentation either upon our request or through your own initiative, that documentation will only be used or maintained by us for the purpose of correcting your personal information and complying with our recordkeeping requirements under CCPA.

Please note that as a job applicant or employee, we may not be able to change or correct certain information about you.

We may deny your request if we have previously denied your same request to correct an alleged inaccuracy in the past six (6) months, unless you provide new or additional documentation that the information at issue is inaccurate.

As an alternative to correction, we may delete the inaccurate information if it does not negatively impact you or if you consent to this deletion. We reserve the right to deny this request if allowed under law, or if we determine that the contested information is more likely than not accurate, based on the totality of circumstances. You can submit a correction request through a verified consumer request. That process is described below in the section, “Submitting a Verified Consumer Request.”

Your Right to Request Deletion of Your Personal Information

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information collected by us, subject to certain exceptions. You can do this through a verified consumer request. That process is described below in the section, “Submitting a Verified Consumer Request.”

There may be scenarios where we deny your deletion request. If that occurs, we will provide you with an explanation as to why we could not delete all or some of your personal information.

Submitting a Verified Consumer Request

You have the right to submit verified consumer requests to know information, to correct information, or for deletion.

The response to a request to know will provide all personal information collected and maintained about you since January 1, 2022, unless doing so proves impossible or would involve disproportionate effort. Please note that we are not required to provide personal information to you more than twice in a 12-month period. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

You can submit requests using the following web form or by calling toll-free 877-353-6053. Your request will be verified using information you provide as described on the web form. If you call 877-353-6053 you will be asked to provide the same information requested on the web form for verification purposes.

If you submit a request that is not through one of these designated methods or is deficient in some manner unrelated to verification, we will either treat it as if it had been submitted in accordance with our designated methods or provide you with information on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies.

Once we receive your verifiable consumer request, we will confirm receipt of the request within 10 business days describing our verification process. We will respond to your request within 45 calendar days, if we are able to verify your identity.

If requests from you are manifestly unfounded or excessive in particular because of their repetitive character, we may either charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on the request, notifying you of our reason for refusing to act. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will notify you of the reason for that determination and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Requests to Know or Delete for Child Under the Age of 13: We do not knowingly collect information of minors under the age of 13.

Using an Authorized Agent to Submit a Request

Only you, a person registered with the California Secretary of State, or a person you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. If you use an authorized agent, you may provide a power of attorney executed pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465. If a power of attorney that meets those provisions is not submitted, you will be required to verify your identity directly by submitting a verified consumer request according to the procedures in the section "Using an Authorized Agent to Submit a Request." If anyone purporting to be an authorized agent for a consumer contacts us, we will require proof that the authorized agent has been authorized to act on the consumer's behalf.

Opt-Out Preference Signals

Some website browsers have an “opt-out preference signal” feature that lets you tell other websites and businesses that you do not want to have your personal information sold or shared with third parties. We are not required under CCPA to process any opt-out preference signals because we do not sell personal information to third parties or share personal information with third parties for cross-contextual behavioral advertising.

Your Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Privacy Right

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not: retaliate against you, as an employee, applicant for employment, or independent contractor.

Changes to Our Privacy Notice

We reserve the right to amend this privacy notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy notice, we will post the updated notice on this page and update the notice's effective date.
