5. Sale of Personal Information

CCPA defines a “sale” of personal information broadly to include more than exchanges for monetary purposes. A sale can include personal information shared with a third party for “valuable consideration,” or information shared with a third party (even if they are performing services on our behalf) if they are permitted to use the information for their own purposes.

We do not sell your personal information for monetary payment, whatsoever.  To ensure we can share our products with you and tailor our advertisements, we do allow some of our advertising partners to use cookies, pixels and other technologies to collect personal information on our website or services, and this may constitute a “sale” of personal information under CCPA.

6. California Residents’ Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information, described below.  Below are your CCPA rights and how to exercise those rights.

  • Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights (“Right to Know”)

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months.  You could request:

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you;
  • The categories of sources of the personal information we collected about you;
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information;
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information; or
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.

Keep in mind that CCPA does not apply to information you have provided to us or that we have collected from you that is subject to the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), or the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), so we will deny any Right to Know concerning personal information subject to GLBA or FCRA.  Our employees and employees of our business partners and service providers also do not have a Right to Know.

  • Deletion Request Rights 

You have the right to request that we delete some or all of the personal information that we have collected from you and retained, subject to a number of exceptions.  We are not required to delete personal information that is: (a) necessary to complete a transaction with you or for warranty or product recalls; (b) used for security purposes, to prevent fraud, to fix errors, or to comply with law; (c) reasonable for us to use for internal purposes given our relationship with you; or (d) compatible with the context in which you provided the information.  The list of exceptions above is not exhaustive, and we may also deny a deletion request as otherwise permitted by law.

The same limitations described above with respect to the Right to Know, apply to the Right to Deletion.

  • Exercising Your Rights

To exercise your rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either: 

Only you, or a person or entity that 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 are making a request on behalf of another person, you must provide written legal documentation that you are authorized to act on behalf of that individual. 

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.  The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We may not be able to fulfill 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.  To verify your identity, we may request up to three pieces of personal information about you, and we reserve the right to take additional steps as necessary to verify your identity if we have reason to believe a request is fraudulent.

  • Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt.  If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.  If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the date we receive your verifiable consumer request.  The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.  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.

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. 

  • Non-Discrimination

You have the right to not be discriminated against for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services;
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties;
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels.  Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program's material aspects.  Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.  

7. Other California Privacy Rights

California's "Shine the Light" law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact us through the information provided above.

8. Changes to this Appendix

We reserve the right to amend this Appendix at our discretion and at any time.  When we make changes to this Appendix, we will post the updated notice on our website and update the effective date on this Appendix.  Your continued use of our website, products, or services following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
