California Privacy Rights

Since 2005, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits our customers who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not share our customer's personal information with unaffiliated third parties for their own direct marketing purposes, without their approval.

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”) grants California residents the following rights with regard to the personal information we collect about you: (i) the right to know what personal information we have collected about you, and the purpose for which it was collected in the past twelve (12) months; (ii) the right to request that we delete any personal information we have collected from you (subject to certain exceptions, as outlined in the CCPA and CPRA); (iii) the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information; and (iv) the right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights herein. For the avoidance of doubt, we do not sell your personal information, but if we did, California residents would have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information, pursuant to the rights granted above.

The California Privacy Rights Act (the “CPRA”) amended and expanded the existing CCPA laws governing consumer privacy and data rights for California residents. CPRA grants special protection to California consumers’ data pertaining to government identifiers, financial account login information, precise geolocations, genetic data, biometric information, race, ethnicity, religious and/or philosophical beliefs, union memberships, content of non-public communications, and data relating to your sex life and/or sexual orientation (collectively, “Sensitive Personal Information”). In addition to the rights granted by the CCPA, the CPRA grants California residents the following rights regarding the personal information we collect: (i) the right to request that we limit our use and discloser of your Sensitive Personal Information; (ii) the right to correct any inaccurate personal information; and (iii) the right to opt-out of the sharing of your personal information with any third-party. Operator does not currently meet any of the legal thresholds which would subject Operator (and your personal information) to the CPRA; in the event Operator does meet the applicable legal thresholds, Operator shall comply with the CPRA, and your rights granted thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a California resident, you can opt out of data sharing here.

We shall not discriminate against you based upon the exercise of any of the above rights. If you are a California resident and wish to opt out of having your personal information shared with third parties, opt out of receiving information from Operator about new products, services, or promotions, and/or exercise any other California privacy right, please contact us in accordance Section 12 below. We will be happy to honor your request.

We will be happy to review, update or remove Information and/or content as appropriate. Residual copies of Information and/or content that have been deleted may remain in our backup systems. We may still retain your Information to resolve disputes, enforce our user agreement, or comply with legal requirements; in this case, your personal information will be blocked from use for any other purpose.

Other States Privacy Rights

In the United States of America, other states have passed privacy laws to protect the privacy and data of their residents. Notably, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Utah all grant (or will grant in the future) protections to state residents concerning certain use of resident’s data. Operator and the Properties do not currently meet any of the legal thresholds which would subject Operator (and your personal information) to the data protection laws in Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, or any other state; in the event Operator does meet the applicable legal thresholds, Operator shall comply with the applicable data protections laws, and your rights granted thereunder, which may include (as set forth in the applicable state law) allowing applicable residents to: (i) confirm whether we process their data, (ii) access and delete certain personal information, (iii) correct inaccuracies in their personal information taking into account the information nature processing purpose (excluding Iowa and Utah residents), and (iv) opt-out of personal data processing for targeted advertising, sales, or profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects (excluding Iowa and Utah).The exact scope of these rights may vary by state.

Users Outside the United States

We only process or transfer your Information where we can rely on legal grounds and appropriate safeguards to do so. Your Information may be transferred to and processed in the United States where many of our central databases operate or other countries where our vendors maintain facilities or business operations. You may have additional rights regarding your Information if you are located outside of the USA. To the extent the General Data Processing Regulation (the “GDPR”) apply to you and Operator, Operator shall comply with the GDPR, and your rights granted thereunder.

No matter where the Information is located, Operator takes commercially reasonable measures to safeguard your privacy rights in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the collection, processing, storage and transfer of your Information, please do not provide your Information when requested and stop using our Properties and other online products and services.

Data Retention

We delete your personal information which we process for the performance of the contract or based on your consent in case you terminate your contract with us, withdraw your consent or where you request us to delete your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. As an exception, we will not delete your personal information where we still have a legitimate interest to use your personal information. For example, we may still retain your Information to resolve disputes, enforce our Terms of Service or other user agreements, or comply with legal requirements; in these cases, your personal information will be blocked from use for any other purpose. In any case, we will not retain or use your personal information longer than necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. Due to technical reasons, residual copies of Information that has been removed from your account and/or the Properties may remain in our backup systems.
