 6.  Notice to California Residents Regarding “Shine the Light” Rights.
     California’s “Shine the Light” law (Cal. Civil Code section 1798.83) gives
     residents of California the right under certain circumstances to request
     information from us regarding the manner in which we share certain
     categories of personal information (as defined by applicable California
     law) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes, or to permit
     such residents to “opt out” of such sharing. We do not share your personal
     information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
 7.  NOTICE TO RESIDENTS OF CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, VIRGINIA AND UTAH
     
     If you are a California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia or Utah Consumer,
     laws in those states require us to provide you with some additional
     information regarding how we collect, use, and share your “personal
     information” as defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018/
     Privacy Rights Act, the Colorado Privacy Act, the Connecticut Personal Data
     Privacy Act, the Utah Consumer Privacy Act, and the Virginia Consumer Data
     Protection Act (collectively the Privacy Laws).
     
     California defines a ‘Consumer’ as any resident of the state regardless of
     the capacity in which they interact with us.
     
     Our California employees (current, former or applicants) can learn about
     our information collection and disclosure practices and how to exercise
     their CPRA rights by contacting the Director of Human Resources.  This
     Privacy Policy does not include disclosures about employee information that
     we collect, use, retain and disclose.
     ‍
     Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and Utah define a ‘Consumer’ as a resident
     of the state who is acting in an individual or household capacity, but this
     excludes state residents who are acting in an employment capacity (as one
     of our current, former or prospective employees) or in a commercial
     capacity (as an employee, owner, director, officer, etc. of an entity
     communicating with us in that context). As a result, if you reside in one
     of these states and have interacted with us in an employment or commercial
     capacity you are not provided the rights described below by the Privacy
     Laws.
     
     Categories of personal information we collect. Throughout this Privacy
     Policy, we discuss in detail the specific pieces of personal information we
     collect from and about users. Under the Privacy Laws, we are also required
     to provide you with the “categories” of personal information we collect.
     The categories we collect are: identifiers (such as contact information
     (your name, address, phone number, email or postal address) and unique
     personal identifiers (that may include but are not limited to your legal
     name or preferred alias and online identifiers like user account names);
     commercial information (such as transaction data and billing information);
     internet or other network or device activity (such as browsing history or
     Services usage); geolocation information; employment, education and
     professional related information(collected about vendors and business
     partners); sensitive personal information (collected about vendors and
     business partners); or geolocation (of consenting users); inferences we
     make about you or your interests based on analysis of other information we
     have collected; and other information that identifies or can be reasonably
     associated with you.
     
     How we use these categories of personal information. We and our service
     providers may use and disclose the categories of personal information we
     collect from and about you for the following business and commercial
     purposes (as those terms are defined in applicable law:
 8.  Performing services for you;
 9.  Advertising customization and measurement;
 10. Marketing to you regarding products and services we believe might interest
     you;
 11. Research and development;
 12. Improving our Services;
 13. Detecting, protecting against, and prosecuting violations of our terms and
     policies, security incidents, and fraudulent or illegal activity;
 14. Managing and overseeing our staffing needs (current, former and applicants)
     and our vendors;
 15. Other uses about which we notify you.
     
     Examples of these types of uses are discussed in the “How We Use Your
     Information” section in our main Privacy Policy above. We may also use the
     categories of personal information for compliance with applicable laws and
     regulations, and we may combine the information we collect (“aggregate”) or
     remove pieces of information (“de-identify”) to limit or prevent
     identification of any particular user or device.
     
     Processing Sensitive Personal Information. Sensitive Personal Information
     includes Social Security, driver’s license, or passport numbers; account
     log-in; financial account information with required access codes or
     passwords; racial, ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs; precise
     location (within 1850 feet); union membership; genetic or biometric
     information; gender or sexual orientation; and health information. We
     collect limited information in this category and process and disclose
     Sensitive Personal Information for the purposes permitted by Privacy Laws
     and as disclosed above or at the time we collect this information unless
     otherwise required by law. The following are permitted purposes under the
     Privacy Laws:
     
     Processing Precise Geolocation. When you consent, we process this
     information to provide relevant content and advertisement based on your
     location. You can always withdraw your consent.
 16. To perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an
     average consumer who requests those goods or services.
 17. To prevent, detect, and investigate security incidents that compromise the
     availability, authenticity, integrity, or confidentiality of stored or
     transmitted personal information.
 18. To resist malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal actions directed at
     the business and to prosecute those responsible for those actions.
 19. To ensure the physical safety of natural persons.
 20. For short-term, transient use, including, but not limited to,
     nonpersonalized advertising shown as part of a consumer’s current
     interaction with the business, provided that the personal information is
     not disclosed to another third party and is not used to build a profile
     about the consumer or otherwise alter the consumer’s experience outside the
     current interaction with the business.
 21. To perform services on behalf of our business.
 22. To verify or maintain the quality or safety of products or services that we
     own or control, and to improve, upgrade, or enhance such products or 
     services.  
 23. To collect or process sensitive personal information where such collection
     or processing is not for the purpose of inferring characteristics about a
     consumer.
 24. Processing Precise Geolocation. When you consent, we process this
     information to provide relevant content and advertisement based on your
     location. You can always withdraw your consent.

personal information. When we receive such a signal we will stop setting third
party, analytics, or advertising partner cookies on your browser. This will
prevent the sale or sharing of information relating to that specific device
through cookies to our advertising or analytics partners. This option does not
stop all sales or sharing of your information because we cannot match your
device’s identification or internet protocol address with your personally
identifiable information like your name, phone number, email address or ZIP
Code. If you delete cookies on your browser, any prior do not sell or do not
share signal is also deleted and you should make sure that your user-enabled
setting is always activated.

Under the Privacy Laws you can also designate an authorized agent to exercise
your rights on your behalf. We may request that your authorized agent have
written permission from you to make requests on your behalf and may need to
verify your authorized agent’s identity.

is defined under the CPRA), identifiers, commercial information, geolocation,
and internet or other electronic network activity (like a record of a browser’s

not include using your interactions with us or information that you provide to
us to select advertisements to show you. In the preceding twelve (12) months, We

purposes.
