CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT
LEGAL DISCLOSURES
In this section, we’ve provided some legally required disclosures under state privacy laws. There shouldn’t be anything surprising in this section, and we’ve tried to explain our privacy practices in plain English throughout the rest of the policy.

The right to know the categories of personal information we’ve collected and the categories of sources from which we got the information (see Information collected by We and the chart just below)

The right to know the categories of third parties with whom we’ve shared personal information (see Sharing your information)

The California Shine the Light Law
Additionally, under the California Shine the Light Law, California residents who provide personal information in obtaining products or services for personal, family, or household use are entitled to either: (1) a list detailing the categories of information shared and the entities to which such information was provided; or (2) to be notified of a mechanism by which a consumer may opt-out of having their information shared with third parties. We have elected the second option. To opt-out of having your information shared with third parties you can discontinue the communications by sending an email with the phrase opt out (or similar language) in the subject heading. Or mail to We

Changes to this policy
We are always reviewing our privacy practices to make sure they comply with this policy. Sometimes, we’ll need to update the policy to reflect changes in our products, technology, and uses of data. We won’t change the policy in a way that reduces your rights or significantly changes the way we use or share data without telling you ahead of time and giving you a chance to stop using our services if you want.
