California Consumer Privacy Policy
Effective Date: [01/01/2020]
Last Updated: [04/29/2021]
This California Consumer Privacy Policy (as updated from time-to-time, this “CA Privacy Policy”) is to explain our data collection and privacy practices regarding the personal information of California residents. This CA Privacy Policy supplements our general privacy statement and applies only to California residents.
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides you with certain privacy rights related to the personal information we collect about you. Please see below to learn more about your rights under the CCPA and to learn more about your rights and our practices.
What Information Does This Privacy Statement Apply To?.
The CCPA is a state law that protects the personal information of California residents. It is not the only law that regulates how we collect and use personal information. In fact, various federal laws preempt the CCPA with respect to the information we collect and process. For example, the CCPA does not apply to personal information collected, processed, sold, or disclosed pursuant to the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Public Law 106-102) or the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act of 1994 (18 U.S.C. § 2721 et seq.) As a result, not all of the personal information we collect and process will be discussed in this CA Privacy Policy. To learn about the information and collection practices generally, please review our general privacy statement.
Summary of CCPA Privacy Policy.
Please read this entire Policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal information. The following points summarize some of the important details about the CCPA discussed below:
- a California consumer has the right to request that we disclose what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell.
- a California consumer also has the right to request that we delete the personal information we have collected from the consumer.
- a California consumer has the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information.
- a California consumer has the right to not receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of their privacy rights under the CCPA.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. Agents must submit proof that they have been authorized by the consumer to act on their behalf. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
We verify requests by sending a confirmation email to the requestor and by matching the identifying information provided by the consumer to the personal information already maintained by us. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot: (i) verify your identity or authority to make the request; and (ii) confirm the personal information relates to you. If we are unable to verify the identity of a requestor we will not provide any information.
