Sharing or Sale of Your Personal Information
We may share your Personal Information under the circumstances outlined in the How We Share Your Personal Information section above.
Notice of Right to Opt-Out of the “Selling” or “Sharing” of Your Personal Information
Like many companies, we use services that help deliver interest-based ads to you. Our use of some of these services may be classified under California law as a “selling” or “sharing” your Personal Information (including your business and personal contact information, device data, and online activity data described above in “Personal Information We Process” section above) with the advertising partners that provide the services.

Shine the Light
California’s “Shine the Light” law, Civil Code section 1798.83, requires certain businesses to respond to requests from California customers asking about businesses’ practices related to disclosing Personal Information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Alternatively, such businesses may have in place a policy not to disclose Personal Information of customers to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes if the customer has exercised an option to opt-out of such information- sharing. We do not participate in the sharing of your Personal Information with third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes, so there is no need to opt-out.
