COOKIES & OPT OUT OF INTEREST-BASED ADS

We and our partners use cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends, administer the Services, track users’ movements around the Services, gather demographic information about our user base, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on the Services and other websites or apps, and better understand your online activity. We may receive reports from our partners based on the use of these technologies on an individual basis (that is, reports of your own activity) as well as on an aggregated basis (that is, reports of all user activity or of the activity of certain users as a group).

You may adjust your device or Internet browser settings to limit certain tracking or to decline cookies. Please refer to your device settings or your Internet browser “Help” section for more information on how to delete and/or disable your device or browser from receiving cookies or controlling your tracking preferences.

We may use local storage on your device, such as with HTML5, to store content information and preferences. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5.

Opt Out of Interest-Based Ads: Some of the parties that collect information from or about you on the Services in order to provide more relevant advertising to you may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. This program offers a centralized location where users can make choices about the use of their information for online behavioral advertising. To learn more about the DAA and your opt-out options for their members for websites, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices. In addition, some of these other parties may be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the NAI and your opt-out options for their members, please visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Please note that if you opt-out of online behavioral advertising using any of these methods, the opt-out will only apply to the specific browser or device from which you opt-out. This does not opt you out of being served all advertising, and you will continue to receive ads that are not tailored to your interests.

The Services may include social media features, such as a “Like” button. These features may collect your IP address and information about the page you are visiting in the Services. They may also set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social Media features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly in the Services. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

Agent Requests

You may authorize someone to make a privacy rights request on your behalf (an authorized agent). Authorized agents will need to demonstrate that you’ve authorized them to act on your behalf or must demonstrate they have power of attorney pursuant to applicable probate law. We retain the right to request confirmation directly from you confirming that the agent is authorized to make such a request, or to request additional information to confirm the agent’s identity.

If you are making a request as an authorized agent, please contact us using the information in the “How to Contact Us” section below, and provide your full name, address, email address, the full name of the person on whose behalf you are making the request, their address, email, phone number, as well as the written permission of the person on whose behalf you are acting to do so.

State-Specific Data Protection Disclosures

In the past twelve (12) months, we have collected the categories of information disclosed above in the “Notice at Collection” section and disclosed those categories for the business purposes also listed in the “Notice at Collection” section.

With the exception of Characteristics of Protected Classifications under California or Federal Law and Sensitive Personal Information, each category of Personal Information disclosed in the “Notice at Collection” section was sold or shared with analytics and advertising partners, business partners, advertising networks, advertising platforms, and social media companies and the other entities identified in the “To Whom We Disclose Personal Information” section above, for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy within the last twelve (12) months. We do not knowingly sell or share Personal Information about persons under the age of sixteen (16).

Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information: To the extent that we collect, use, or share “Sensitive Personal Information” as that term is defined in applicable law, we limit our use or disclosure of the Sensitive Personal Information to permitted business purposes.

CALIFORNIA NOTICE OF FINANCIAL INCENTIVE

We offer various financial incentives. For example, we may provide discounts, rewards, exclusive offers, or other special perks to customers who sign up to join a loyalty program, subscribe & save, sweepstakes, contest, or other similar promotional campaign (collectively, “Programs”).

When you sign up for one of these Programs, we typically ask you to provide your name and contact information (such as email address and/or telephone number). We use this information for the purposes described above under the section titled “How We Use the Personal Information We Collect.” Because our Programs involve the collection of Personal Information, they might be interpreted as a “financial incentive” program under California law. The value of your Personal Information that we collect is reasonably related to the value of the free or discounted products or services, or other benefits that you obtain or that are provided as part of the applicable Program, less the expense related to offering those products, services, and benefits to Program participants.

You can opt-in to a Program by following the sign-up or participation instructions provided, and, for any ongoing benefits, you have the ability to withdraw from participating in a Program at any time by following the instructions set forth in the applicable Program terms or contacting us using the “How to Contact Us” section below.
