If you are a consumer as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, “CCPA”), the personal information collected from you includes information within the below categories of data. These categories also represent the categories of personal information that we have collected, disclosed, or “sold” or “shared” over the past 12 months. Please note that we may disclose some categories of Personal Information in connection with certain types of advertisements, which could be considered “selling” or “sharing” under the CCPA. We do not knowingly “sell” or “share” the personal information of individuals under the age of 16. The source of the information is set forth above in the section titled Personal data we collect.

The categories listed are defined by California state law. Inclusion of a category in the list below indicates only that, depending on the services and products we provide you, we may collect some information within that category. It does not necessarily mean that we collect all information listed in a particular category for all our consumers, nor does it imply that California law applies to you.

Collection and use of personal information

Sensitive Personal Information. For purposes of the CCPA, we do not process "sensitive" personal information for purposes other than those specified in section 7027(m) of the CCPA Regulations (such as to provide the services and for security purposes).

We may use this personal information and/or disclose it to third parties for the following purposes, including commercial purposes: 

• to provide our products and services;

Depending on your interactions with us, we may not have used personal information collected about you for each of these purposes. In addition, any personal information we may have disclosed about you, such disclosure may not include all of the personal information collected about you.
