CCPA
The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, “CCPA”) provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. For purposes of this California Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household, but does not include (i) information that is lawfully made available from federal, state, or local government records or (ii) Personal Information about consumers that has been aggregated or de-identified. This section of the California Privacy Policy describes the rights that California residents have under the CCPA and explains how they can exercise those rights.
To the extent that we collect Personal Information that is subject to the CCPA, we are required to provide you with a list of the categories of Personal Information that we have collected or will collect about or from consumers in the last 12 months.

Under the CCPA, a “sale” occurs when we transfer a consumer’s Personal Information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration, and a “share” occurs when we transfer a consumer’s Personal Information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising.
