(“CCPA”) grants certain rights to California residents with respect to Personal Information (as defined in CCPA) and requires that We provide certain information, as described in this section. The other sections of this Privacy Policy are incorporated herein by reference.

As noted elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer, household, or device (for purposes of this section (“Your California Privacy Rights”) only, “Personal Information“). Personal Information does not include:

• Publicly available information from government records;
• Deidentified or aggregated consumer information; or
• Information excluded from the CCPA’s scope, such as (i) health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data, or (ii) personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act of 1994.

Once We receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see “Exercising Your Rights as a California Resident,” below), We will disclose to you:

• The categories of sources for the Personal Information We collected about you;
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that Personal Information;

Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
