The CCPA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

A. Right to Know

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. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. You can delete your account and all associated data directly from your profile page.

C. Right to Opt-Out of the Sale of Personal Information

You have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information. As stated above, we do not sell personal information.

7. Exercising Your CCPA Rights

To exercise the rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

• Accessing your profile page to export or delete your data.

Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

8. Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. 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. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.

9. Changes to This Notice

We reserve the right to amend this CCPA notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this notice, we will post the updated notice on our website and update the notice's "Last Updated" date.
