Business Transfers

All of your personal information that we collect may be transferred to a third party if we undergo a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or other transaction in which that third party assumes control of our business (in whole or in part). Should one of these events occur, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you before your information becomes subject to different privacy and security policies and practices.

We seek to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use and disclosure using appropriate physical, technical, organizational and administrative security measures based on the type of personal information and how we are processing that information. You should also help protect your data by appropriately selecting and protecting your password and/or other sign-on mechanism, limiting access to your computer or device and browser, and signing off after you have finished accessing your account.

Data Retention

We retain personal information about you for as long as necessary to perform our business or commercial purposes, including employment-related purposes, for collecting your personal information. When establishing a retention period for specific categories of personal information, we consider who we collected the personal information from, our need for the personal information, why we collected the personal information, and the sensitivity of the personal information. In some cases we retain personal information for longer, if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or collect fees owed, or is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule or regulation. We may further retain information in an anonymous or aggregated form where that information would not identify you personally.

Please note that we only use or disclose your sensitive personal information for the purposes set forth in section 7027(m) of the CPRA regulations and we do not collect or process sensitive personal information with the purpose of inferring any characteristics about California residents.

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In

Personal Information Sharing Opt-Out and Opt-In

Under the CPRA, you have certain rights when a business “shares” personal information with third parties for purposes of cross-contextual behavioral advertising. We will not share your personal information for cross-contextual behavioral advertising, and have not done so over the last twelve (12) months. To our knowledge, we do not share the personal information of minors under sixteen (16) years of age for purposes of cross-contextual behavioral advertising.

We Will Not Discriminate Against You for Exercising Your Rights Under the CPRA

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CPRA. Job applicants will not be subject to any retaliation or disciplinary action for exercising their rights under the CPRA.

Exercising Your Rights Under the CPRA

To exercise the rights described in this Privacy Notice, you or your Authorized Agent (defined below) must send us a request that (1) provides sufficient information to allow us to verify that you are the person about whom we have collected personal information, and (2) describes your request in sufficient detail to allow us to understand, evaluate and respond to it. Each request that meets both of these criteria will be considered a “Valid Request.” We may not respond to requests that do not meet these criteria. We will only use personal information provided in a Valid Request to verify your identity and complete your request. You do not need an account to submit a Valid Request.

We will work to respond to your Valid Request within the time period required by applicable law. We will not charge you a fee for making a Valid Request unless your Valid Request(s) is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that your Valid Request warrants a fee, we will notify you of the fee and explain that decision before completing your request.

You may submit a Valid Request using the following methods:

You may also authorize an agent (an “Authorized Agent”) to exercise your rights on your behalf. To do this, you must provide your Authorized Agent with written permission to exercise your rights on your behalf, and we may request a copy of this written permission from your Authorized Agent when they make a request on your behalf.
