The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) requires certain notice(s) and may provide specific rights to California residents, which are detailed below. If you are not a California resident, please click here for the Gannett/USA TODAY Network Privacy Policy. By using the Products, and providing us with Personal Information you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy referenced below and to the updates to these policies posted here from time to time. To make sure you stay informed of all changes, you should check these policies periodically. Updates will be referenced by the “Last Updated” date shown above. DEFINITION OF PERSONAL DATA For purposes of this Privacy Policy, except where a different definition is noted, “Personal Information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer, household, or device. Personal Information for purposes of this Privacy Policy does not include: * Your name, phot and/or other information about you included in news or editorial content. * Publicly available information from government records. * De-identified or aggregated consumer information. * Other information excluded from the CCPA's scope, such as: * health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data; * personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994. CALIFORNIA “SHINE THE LIGHT” LAW/YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits consumers who are California residents, to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, information about the categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law), if any, that we disclosed in the preceding calendar year to third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Our disclosure requirements apply only if we share our consumers’ personal information with third parties for them to directly market their own products to those consumers, instead of assisting us with our own business. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, contact us as provided in the "Contact Us" section below. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT The following is a list of categories of Personal Information which may have been collected from consumers or users of our Products within the last twelve (12) months. The categories and examples provided in the chart below are those defined in the CCPA. This does not mean that all examples of that category of Personal Information were in fact collected but reflects our good faith belief to the best of our knowledge that some of that information may have been collected about consumers. We will update this disclosure from time to time as appropriate. Category Examples A. Identifiers. A name, alias, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, Internet Protocol address, email address, account username, screen name, password, Social Security number, driver’s license number, passport number, or other similar identifiers. B. Personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)). A name, signature, Social Security number, physical characteristics or description, address, telephone number, passport number, driver’s license or state identification card number, insurance policy number, education, employment, employment history, bank account number, credit card number, debit card number, or any other financial information, medical information, or health insurance information. Some personal information included in this category may overlap with other categories. C. Protected classification characteristics under California or federal law. Age (40 years or older), race, color, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, religion or creed, marital status, medical condition, physical or mental disability, sex (including gender, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy or childbirth and related medical conditions), sexual orientation, veteran or military status. D. Commercial information. Records of personal property, products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies. F. Internet or other similar network activity. Browsing history, search history, information on a consumer’s interaction with a website, application, or advertisement, including user generated content. G. Geolocation data. Physical location or movements. H. Sensory data. Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information. I. Professional or employment-related information. Current or past job history or performance evaluations. J. Non-public education information (per the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. Section 1232g, 34 C.F.R. Part 99)). Education records directly related to a student maintained by an educational institution or party acting on its behalf, such as grades, transcripts, class lists, student schedules, student identification codes, student financial information, or student disciplinary records. K. Inferences drawn from other personal information. Profile reflecting a person’s preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes. In response to a verified consumer request for categories of information collected, we will investigate and provide an individualized response to the consumer, and will not merely refer the consumer to our general practices outlined in this Privacy Policy unless our response would be the same for all consumers and this Privacy Policy discloses all the information that is otherwise required for the response to such a consumer request. Any of the above information may be combined with other Personal Information we may have or obtain about you from your use of our Products or from third parties. SOURCES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION * Directly from you. For example, during account registration from forms you complete, subscriptions you purchase or comments you provide on our Products. * Indirectly from you. For example, from observing your actions on our Products. * From third parties. For example, third party social networking providers and advertising companies, our affiliates and service providers who provide services or information to us. If you do not want us to collect information from social networks, you should review and adjust your privacy settings on those networks as desired before linking or connecting them to our Products. * From publicly available sources. For example, online database searches. You agree that you will provide to us only your own Personal Information, or the Personal Information of those whom you have the legal right to provide (such as in your capacity as a legal guardian). You agree to provide us with accurate Personal Information. USE AND DISCLOSURE (“SALE”) OF PERSONAL INFORMATION The CCPA broadly defines the term “sale” to mean: “Selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by the business to a third party for valuable consideration; or (B) sharing orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information with a third party, whether for valuable consideration or for no consideration, for the third party’s commercial purposes.” Within this meaning, we may have disclosed (as that term is defined by the CCPA) Personal Information in the categories below from consumers and users of our Products within the last twelve months where such disclosure may fall within the CCPA’s definition of a “sale.” When we disclose that we may have sold Personal Information, it means that we may have received some kind of benefit to our company in return for sharing Personal Information, it does not necessarily mean we received any money in exchange. The categories below are those defined in the CCPA. This does not mean that all examples of that category of Personal Information were in fact “sold” but reflects our good faith belief to the best of our knowledge that some of that information may have been shared for value in return. We will update this disclosure from time to time as appropriate. In response to a verified consumer request for categories of Personal Information “sold,” we will investigate and provide an individualized response to the consumer, and will not merely refer the consumer to our general practices outlined in this Privacy Policy unless our response would be the same for all consumers and this Privacy Policy discloses all the information that is otherwise required for the response to such a consumer request. CATEGORIES 1. Identifiers. 2. Personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute. 3. Protected classification characteristics under California or federal law. 4. Commercial information. 5. Internet or other similar network activity. 6. Geolocation data. 7. Sensory data. 8. Professional or employment-related information. 9. Non-public education information. 10. Inferences drawn from other personal information. USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES OR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. We may use or disclose Personal Information we collect for “business purposes” or “commercial purposes” (as defined under the CCPA), which may include the following examples. The examples provided are illustrative and not intended to be exhaustive. (a) Auditing Interactions with Consumers. For example: monitoring traffic to our Products, counting ad impressions, and auditing legal and regulatory compliance. (b) Security. For example, maintaining the safety, security, and integrity of our Products, databases and other technology assets and our business, including preventing fraud, detecting security breaches and prosecuting violators, and responding to law enforcement requests or court orders and to comply with any applicable laws and regulations. (c) Debugging/Repair. For example, identifying and repairing errors in our Products’ functionality. (d) Certain Short-term Uses. For example, ad customization that does not involve or contribute to profiling. (e) Performing Services. For example, creating, maintaining, customizing and securing your account with us, processing your purchases, transactions, and payments, hosting our Products, fulfilling subscription orders, managing databases, performing analyses, billing, and marketing services such as managing promotions and contests. (f) Internal Research for Tech Development. For example, testing, research, analysis, and product development, including to develop and improve our Products. (g) Quality and Safety Maintenance and Verification. For example, improving, upgrading or enhancing our Products, and verifying the quality or safety of our Products. (h) Other Commercial Purposes. Examples include: (i) purposes as described to you when collecting your Personal Information, such as for promotions or contests we think you may be interested in: (ii) if you sign up for text messaging, cookies or other tracking devices may be used to personalize your experience (for example, to send you personalized text message offers: and (iii) to evaluate or conduct a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, in which Personal Information we hold is among the assets transferred. If we decide to collect additional categories of Personal Information or use the Personal Information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes we will update this Privacy Policy. In response to a verified consumer request to know what Personal Information was collected or sold, we will investigate and provide an individualized response to the consumer, which will include the business or commercial purpose for collecting and/or sharing that information. We will not merely refer the consumer to our general practices outlined in this Privacy Policy unless our response would be the same for all consumers and this Privacy Policy discloses all the information that is otherwise required for the response to such a consumer request. DISCLOSING PERSONAL INFORMATION TO OTHER PARTIES We may disclose your Personal Information to the following categories of other parties for a business purpose or commercial purpose, as those terms are defined in the CCPA: * Our affiliates * Service providers: such as data processors, hosting companies, customer service providers, contractors, agents or sponsors who help us manage or provide our products and services by, for example: developing or supporting products and features; sending email messages on our behalf; processing payments; fulfilling orders; delivering subscriptions; auditing; processing data or statistics; and serving, customizing or delivering marketing. These third party service providers are required to protect Personal Information entrusted to them and not use it for any other purpose than the specific service they are providing on our behalf. * Advertisers, advertising technology companies, analytics companies and other third parties with whom we have business relationships * Government regulators * Our legal advisors and parties involved in a legal process * To an entity involved in the sale of our business * Third parties to whom you or your agents authorize us to disclose your Personal Information in connection with products or Services we provide to you In order to provide advertisements and content that are more relevant to you, we and our advertising and content providers may collect certain types of Personal Information when you use our Products (such as, by way of example, your email, the IP address of your device, the identifier on your mobile device, or cookies stored on your device). We or our advertising and content providers may combine this information with other information we have, or that we collect through other sources, and may share the information we collect with third parties to provide interest based or targeted advertising and content, including textual and/or audio-visual ads or content. If you would like to opt out from this use, or for more information, please see our Cookie Policy which includes links to specific third party opt-outs. YOUR CCPA PRIVACY RIGHTS AND CHOICES California residents may have certain rights under the CCPA, many of which are subject to limitations or exceptions under applicable law: (a) Right to Know about Personal Information Collected or “Sold” You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months. After we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you within the time required by the CCPA, the relevant information, which may include: * The categories of Personal Information we collected about you. * The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you. * Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that Personal Information. * The categories of third parties with whom we share that Personal Information. * The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you (also called a data portability request). * If we sold your Personal Information, or disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing: 1. sales, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and 2. disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient obtained. (b) Right to Request Deletion of Personal Information You have the right to request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions, including if we need the Personal Information for a reason related to our business, such as: 1. providing the Products to you; 2. detecting and resolving issues related to security or functionality; 3. complying with legal obligations; 4. conducting research in the public interest; 5. exercising free speech or ensuring another’s exercise of free speech; or 6. using the information for internal purposes that a consumer might reasonably expect. After we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete your Personal Information from our records in the time and manner required by the CCPA, subject to any limitations or exceptions under law. EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS To exercise the rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us through the web form link provided below in Contact Us. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative. This means that in making a request you may be required to: provide your email and phone number, customer information, and/or account sign-up authentication or other information needed to verify your identity depending on the sensitivity of the Personal Information that is the subject of the request. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. If we are unable to verify your identity, we reserve the right to deny the request. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. If you choose to use an authorized agent to submit a request to know or a request to delete your information, we may require that you: (1) provide the authorized agent written permission to do so; and (2) verify your own identity directly with us. We will not require these steps if we have received proof that you have provided the authorized agent with a power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465. We may deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf. We may also deny a request from an agent that does not meet the requirements for authorized agents under the CCPA. Once we have verified your identity (and your authorized agent, as applicable), we will respond to your request as appropriate. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may charge a reasonable fee to comply with your request. If we are unable to complete your request in whole or in part, we will let you know why. RESPONSE TIMING AND FORMAT We use good faith efforts to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days after its receipt. If we need more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and the needed extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by email. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. If we cannot comply with any portion of a request, the response we provide will also explain why, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a commercially reasonable format to provide your Personal Information that is commonly useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance, but we do not guarantee that all formats are useable in all media. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request. NON-DISCRIMINATION FOR THE EXERCISE OF CCPA PRIVACY RIGHTS We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. In particular, we will not: * Deny you any Products * Charge you different prices for the Products, whether through denying benefits or imposing penalties * Provide you with a different level or quality of the Products * Threaten you with any of the above FINANCIAL INCENTIVES We may offer you certain financial incentives for the collection of your Personal Information and as permitted by the CCPA. These incentives may result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your Personal Information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time. Details of the incentive, if applicable, including how to opt in or out and the basis for the value of the incentive, will be provided prior to or at the time of your participation. DO NOT SELL MY PERSONAL INFORMATION The CCPA requires businesses to provide a web page where consumers can opt out of the “sale” of their Personal Information. California residents may exercise there “Do Not Sell” Right by clicking on the Do Not Sell button below. Manage Cookies In addition, you may opt out of certain interest-based advertising by using the following resources: (a) You may opt-out of tracking and receiving tailored advertisements on your mobile device by some mobile advertising companies and other similar entities by downloading the App Choices app at www.aboutads.info/appchoices.

(d) One of our providers, LiveRamp, Inc. collects certain Personal Information from you through our Products, such as your email (in hashed form), IP address or information about your browser or operating system. LiveRamp then returns to us an online identification code that is associated with your Personal Information, and that we may store in our first-party cookie for our own use in online and cross-channel advertising across our Products. It may also be shared with advertising companies to enable interest-based and targeted advertising. To opt out of this use by LiveRamp, please click here: https://optout.liveramp.com/opt_out. (e) We also transfer certain Personal Information collected from you through our Products, such as your email (in hashed form), IP address, or information about your browser or operating system to one of our service providers, Neustar Information Services, Inc. (“Neustar”). Neustar then returns to us an online identification code that is associated with your Personal Information, and that we may store in our first-party cookie for our own use in online and cross-channel advertising across our Products. It may also be shared with advertising companies to enable interest-based and targeted advertising. To opt out of this processing by Neustar, please click here: https://www.home.neustar/privacy/opt-out. You may also opt-out of this processing by Neustar via the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out mechanism, described above in subparagraph (b). CALIFORNIA DO NOT TRACK DISCLOSURES “Do Not Track” (DNT) is a privacy preference you can set in your browser if you do not want online services to collect and share certain kinds of information about your online activity from this party tracking services. We respond to DNT signals and follow the W3C standard for responding to DNT signals. If you would like to set your browser to signal that you would not like to be tracked, please check your browser’s documentation for how to enable that signals. For more information on Do Not Track, please visit allaboutdnt.com. DO WE USE “COOKIES”? Yes. Cookies and similar technologies are small files that a website or its service provider transfers to a computer’s hard drive through a Web browser (if the user allows) that enables the website’s or service provider’s systems to recognize the user’s browser and capture and remember certain information. In general, we and our third party providers, advertisers, and marketing partners use cookies and other technologies to optimize the functionality of the Websites, to help us understand how the Products are used and to provide users with interest-based content and/or advertising, including textual and/or audio-visual ads or content based upon their browsing activities and interests. For more information about the cookies and other technologies that we, our affiliates and third party providers and advertisers use on our Products, please read our Cookie Policy. SECURITY We use commercially reasonable procedures and various technical, administrative and physical safeguards to help protect the confidentiality of Personal Information. However, no data transmitted over the Internet or stored or maintained by us or our third-party service providers can be 100% secure given the reality of communication via technology systems. Therefore, although we believe the measures implemented by us are commercially reasonable and reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved, we do not promise or guarantee, and you should not expect, that your Personal Information or private communications sent to us over those systems will always remain private or secure. We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security features. If you believe that your Personal Information has been accessed or acquired by an unauthorized person, please promptly Contact Us so that necessary measures can quickly be taken. THIRD PARTY LINKS Our Products may contain links to other websites or services that are not owned or controlled by us, including links to social media platforms, or may redirect you off our Products to other websites for information or other services. This Privacy Policy only applies to information collected by our Products. We are not responsible for the privacy and security practices of those other websites or social media platforms or the information they may collect (which may include IP address). You should refer to such third parties’ privacy policies on their sites to determine their respective privacy practices. Links to any other website’s or content do not constitute or imply an endorsement or recommendation by us of the linked website, social media platform, and/or content. TRANSFERS Your Personal Information may be stored, transferred to, and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers. These countries may be outside the United States, and may have different data protection laws than in the United States. AGGREGATE AND DE-IDENTIFIED INFORMATION We may aggregate and/or de-identify any information collected through the Products so that such information can no longer be linked to you or your device (“Aggregate/De-Identified Information”). We may use Aggregate/De-Identified Information for any purpose, including without limitation for research and marketing purposes, and may also share such data with any third parties, including advertisers, promotional partners, and sponsors, in our discretion. CHILDREN’S ON-LINE PRIVACY INFORMATION In general, the Products are not intended for use by children under the age of 13, or 16 where applicable, and the terms for certain Products may specify further age-related restrictions. In cases where certain Products are intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or 16 where applicable), we will post appropriate notices and take steps as required by applicable law to safeguard children's data. In addition, we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 where applicable) through form submissions through our Products, although certain third party sites that we link to may do so. These third-party sites have their own terms of use and privacy policies and we encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children to never provide information through our Products without their permission. Involvement of parents: In accordance with the provisions of the Children’s Online Privacy Act, in the event that we do begin collecting any Personal Information or data from children under the age of 13 (or 16 where applicable), we will notify parents first, and will seek parental or guardian consent to collect, use and/or disclose certain Personal Information from children under the age of 13, or 16 where applicable. A parent may review and have deleted their child’s Personal Information, and may refuse to permit further collection or use of their child’s information by contacting us as noted at the end of this Privacy Policy. Parents may consent to our collection and use of their child’s Personal Information without consenting to the disclosure of that information to others. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 (or 16) has provided Personal Information “Contact Us” below with sufficient detail to enable us to delete that information from our databases. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE, WILL WE OR OUR SUBSIDIARIES, PARENT COMPANIES OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM OUR USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION, EVEN IF WE ARE ADVISED BEFOREHAND OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF DAMAGES FOR WHICH WE WILL BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE THE GREATER OF THE FEES YOU PAID FOR ANY PRODUCT IN CONNECTION WITH WHICH YOU PROVIDED YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, OR $100.

We reserve the right to take over the exclusive defense of any claim for which we are entitled to indemnification under this section. In such event, you agree to provide us with such cooperation as is reasonably requested by us. WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION CLAIMS You and Gannett agree that each party may bring disputes against the other party only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, including, without limitation, a federal or state class action lawsuit.

This provision applies to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law to all claims that arise under, in connection with, or relate to this Privacy Policy or the Personal Information that is automatically collected by us and/or obtained by us from third parties; that arose under, in connection with, or relate to any previous privacy policy in effect or that otherwise arose before these terms went into effect; or that may arise in connection with or after or otherwise relate to your Personal Information (or any other Personal Information you provide to us) after termination of any business relationship we may have with you, including cancellation or deletion of your accounts if applicable.
