California Residents
If you are a resident of California, you have certain rights in relation to your personal information pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These include your right to:
- Request information about the personal information that we collect about you and the manner in which we process and disclose that information;
- Obtain the specific items of personal information that we have collected about you in the 12 months preceding your request;

California law requires us to verify the requests we receive from you when you exercise certain of the rights listed above. To verify your request, we will check the information you provide us in your request against third party identity verification tools. As part of this process, we may call you after you submit your request to verify information.

If an authorized agent submits a request on your behalf, we will contact you to verify that they represent you.
California law requires that we describe certain disclosures of personal information where we receive valuable consideration. California law treats such disclosures as “sales” even if no money is exchanged. We do not sell information to third parties as defined under California law. We do not sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.
