2. How We Use Sensitive Personal Information
We do not use or disclose Sensitive Personal Information for purposes beyond those permitted by Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.121(a). If we ever need to use it for additional purposes, you will receive a clear right to “Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information.”
3. Disclosures, “Sales,” and “Sharing”
In the past 12 months we disclosed the categories above for the purposes noted to the recipients listed.
We do not “sell” Personal Information for monetary value or “share” it for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined in the CPRA. If this changes, we will (1) post an updated Notice, and (2) add a conspicuous “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link.
4. Your California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
- Request we disclose to you free of charge the following information covering the 12 months preceding your request: (a) the categories of Personal Information about you that we collected; (b) the categories of sources from which the Personal
- Information was collected; (c) the purpose for collecting Personal Information about you; (d) the categories of third parties to whom we disclosed Personal Information about you and the categories of Personal Information that was disclosed (if applicable) and the purpose for disclosing the Personal Information about you; and (e) the specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you;

Consistent with California law, if you choose to exercise your applicable CCPA rights, we won’t charge you different prices or provide you a different quality of services.
