This privacy notice section for California Consumers under CCPA/CPRA and supplements the information contained in Our Privacy Policy and further explains required disclosures about how we collect, disclose, and sell the personal information of California consumers and the rights that California consumers may have under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CCPA/CPRA”) where we act as a business under CCPA/CPRA. When we use the term “personal information” in this California Statement, we are using the term as CCPA/CPRA defines it, which generally means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. However, personal information does not include publicly available, deidentified, or aggregate consumer information (which are all defined in CCPA/CPRA).
California law requires we restate some of the information from our privacy policy for specific categories that are defined in CCPA/CPRA. The type of personal information we collect and how we handle that personal information, including if we share or sell that personal information, depends on how you are specifically interacting with us and which Services you are inquiring about. This does not mean that all examples of that category of personal information were in fact collected by Us but reflects our good faith belief to the best of our knowledge that some of that information from the applicable category may be and may have been collected. For example, certain categories of personal information would only be collected if You provided such personal information directly to Us. In general, we have collected, disclosed for a business purpose, and sold the following categories of personal information and sensitive personal information from California consumers within the last twelve (12) months;
