California Residents

If you are a resident of the state of California, the following supplementary disclosures apply to you.

Personal Data Disclosures, Sales and Targeted Advertising

We disclose all of the categories of personal data we collect to the categories of recipients set forth in our Privacy Notice. However, we do not sell personal data, and we do not process or otherwise share personal data for the purpose of displaying advertisements that are selected based on personal data obtained or inferred over time from an individual’s activities across non-affiliated businesses or websites, applications, or other services (otherwise known as “targeted advertising” or “cross-context behavioral advertising”).

Depending on your state of residency and subject to certain legal limitations and exceptions, you may be able to limit or opt-out of the sale of personal data or the processing of personal data for purposes of targeted advertising (as described in the Your Additional U.S. Privacy Choices section below).

Please note we do not sell the personal data [A3] of individuals we know to be less than 16 years of age or share such information for targeted advertising purposes.

Deidentified Information

We may at times receive, or process personal data to create, deidentified information that can no longer reasonably be used to infer information about, or otherwise be linked to, a particular individual or household. Where we maintain deidentified information, we will maintain and use the information in deidentified form and not attempt to reidentify the information except as required or permitted by law.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not conduct automated processing of personal data for the purposes of evaluating, analyzing, or predicting an individual’s personal aspects in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. As a result, we do not provide a right to exercise control over such forms of automated decision-making and profiling.
