We may provide an AI-enabled chatbot. If you interact with such chatbot, we may collect the information described above as well as the contents of your chats.

As better described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, as many browsers begin phasing out third party cookies, we may also use new technologies, such as matching services provided by LiveRamp's Authenticated Traffic Solution and Unified ID 2.0. For more information about how we collect this information and how to manage tracking methods, see the Use Of Web Beacons, Cookies And Other Technologies and Interest-Based Advertising Sections of this Privacy Policy.

We, our service providers, and other third parties with whom we do business may collect information about you from publicly available sources (e.g., social media platforms) and commercially available resources. We may combine that information with the information described above and will handle the combined information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Information we collect across devices and applications: In order to improve the personalization of the content, features, and advertising, and provide you with a seamless experience across the devices you use to access the services, we or our service providers may use your personal information (e.g., log-in credentials, IP addresses, hashed email addresses, and unique mobile device identifiers) to locate or attempt to locate unique users across different browsers or devices.

Sensitive Personal Information: We generally don't want to gather sensitive personal information about you, but you may choose to provide us with such information, for example in connection with a survey.

We may request certain of the above information only in conjunction with claiming a prize in a contest or sweepstakes ("games"), or when we may ask readers to answer a survey questionnaire (e.g., we may ask about your political leanings or ethnicity). You are always free to choose whether or not to answer or participate in such games, surveys, panels, or other feedback programs. Except in these cases, we would never want you to give us sensitive personal information.

Location Information: Our mobile applications may collect non-precise information about the location of your mobile device. Our vendors may collect and use precise location information for purposes of delivering targeted advertising. You may adjust this consent by managing your Location Services preferences through the settings of your mobile device and disable the collection of such data.

We may also be able to infer your location from other information that you provide or information that we collect passively, such as the known locations of nearby Wi-Fi networks. Ads on our websites and apps may be targeted based on your approximate location. For example, your IP address indicates that you are from a certain US State and that you live in a certain city or region. As a result, our services may be personalized with information and advertisements related to that particular US State, city or region.

Other data collected: We collect data regarding specific internet and network activities on our Services, including your engagement with our websites and apps, your engagement with marketing materials and advertisements on our Services (e.g., the URLs of pages you visit on our sites and apps, the website URL from which you arrived at our sites, the duration of your visits to pages, access times, search queries, and additional information about your interactions and activities on our Services).

We may combine or aggregate any of the information we collect from our services and elsewhere for any of these purposes. We may also engage in targeted third-party advertising using matching services like Unified ID 2.0 and LiveRamp's Authenticated Traffic Solution. In such cases, we use personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, or phone number, to deliver targeted advertisements. As explained below, this may involve converting email addresses or phone numbers into identifiers used for advertising purposes.

Pseudonymized Information: A few of our vendors use pseudonymized information, including a hashed version of personal information (such as email or phone number), that they receive from us to provide products and services to us and their other customers. "Pseudonymize" means the processing of personal information in a manner that renders the personal information no longer attributable to a specific consumer without the use of additional information. Therefore, it is possible that your personal information is being used in pseudonymized form by these vendors, who have taken technical and organizational measures to ensure that your personal information is not attributed back to you.

For example, when you use our websites and enter your email address on our websites (either to log in, or to sign up for a newsletter, or similar), we may share with LiveRamp and its group companies information that we collect from you, such as your email (in hashed, pseudonymous form), IP address, or information about your browser or operating system, with any of the following, acting as service provider (as applicable and defined in the CCPA) and/or "joint controllers" (as applicable and defined in the GDPR).

LiveRamp uses this information to create an online identification code that we may store in our first-party cookie advertising for our use in online, in-app, and cross-channel. This may be shared with advertising companies to enable Interest-Based And Targeted Advertising. LiveRamp uses this information to create an online identification code for the purpose of recognizing you on your devices.

Detailed information on LiveRamp's data processing activities is available in LiveRamp's privacy policy. You have the right to withdraw your consent or opt-out to the processing of your personal information at any time https://liveramp.com/privacy/my-privacy-choices.

Third parties may utilize additional services to deliver ads; please review their privacy policies for details. You may need to directly contact specific third parties to opt out of these matched advertisements. We are not responsible for any third party's failure to honor opt-out requests.

6. Third Party Links And Content

Our Services and communications may contain links to or content from websites or other online services provided by third parties. We expect our partners and third party providers to respect your privacy, but you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for the collection and use of your information by websites and other services that are not under our control. Any personal information you provide to them is not covered by this Privacy Policy. The privacy practices of third parties are governed by their privacy policies, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of use of all websites and online services that you use, view, or visit.

7. Use Of Cookies, Web Beacons And Other Technologies

Like most major websites, we may use cookies, web beacons (also known as pixels), and other technologies to collect information when you use our services. These technologies help us remember you when you visit our services, personalize your experience on the services, learn about how you and others use the services, learn about the devices you use to access the services, and remember your preferences.

A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website stores on your computer hard drive, tablet, mobile device, or other device in the cookie file associated with the browser that you use to access the website. Cookies alone generally cannot be used to identify you, but a login cookie will store information that helps remember you, such as your username. Cookies help us recognize you when you return to our websites and hold information from one visit to the next for your ease of use. Cookies also help us better understand how people use our services through click-stream analysis, which allows us to design a better user experience.

We may also share information that we collect with third parties, such as service providers, advertisers, and advertising companies as described in this Privacy Policy. Certain third party content providers, advertisers, and advertising companies may also place cookies on your computer or mobile device. We do not have access to, nor control over, these third parties' use of cookies or other tracking technologies or how they may be used.

For example, we use Google to serve advertisements on Newsday's services, which uses the Google DoubleClick cookie, and in some cases, a unique device identifier, to show you ads based on your visit to Newsday.com and other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of the use of the Google DoubleClick cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy. To learn more, visit the Interest-Based And Targeted Advertising section of this Privacy Policy.

Some of our services and communications may contain tiny electronic images known as web beacons. We use web beacons to assist us in delivering cookies on our services and to allow us to count users who have visited those pages. We also include web beacons in promotional email messages in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.

The cookies we use may include:

Strictly Necessary Cookies - These cookies are necessary for the websites to function as intended. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work.

Performance Cookies - These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our websites. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the websites. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our websites and will not be able to monitor their performance.

Functional Cookies - These cookies enable the websites to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.

Targeting Cookies - These cookies may be set through our websites by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertising on other websites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

Social Media Cookies - These cookies are set by a range of social media services (such as Facebook) that we have added to the websites to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. If you do not allow these cookies, you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.

How To Manage Cookies. When you first come to our websites, you may receive a notification that cookies are present. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You may control cookies, including preventing or stopping the installation and storage of cookies, through your browser settings and other tools. Most browsers will allow you to block or refuse cookies. However, you may need to manually adjust your preferences each time you visit a site. For more information, see the Help section of your browser.

Please note that if you block certain cookies, including the "Strictly Necessary Cookies," some of the services and functionalities of our websites may not work. Information on how to manage cookies for the most commonly used browsers can be found below:

Chrome

Safari on desktop

Safari Mobile (iPhone and iPads)

Samsung Internet Browser

For more information about other browsers, please refer to this All About Cookies guide.

Except as required by applicable law, we do not respond to browser Do Not Track signals or other mechanisms that automatically send preference signals.

8. Interest-Based Advertising

To help ensure that you receive ads that are relevant to your interests on our Services, our advertisers' services, and elsewhere on the Internet, we and third parties (including service providers, advertisers, and advertising companies) may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites, apps, and devices. We and third parties may use that information to help understand audience segments. Advertisers may use the segments to determine the audience groups to which they wish to deliver particular ads. Through this process, we do not use information that directly identifies you, such as name or e-mail address.

In addition, when you login to your account on newsday.com, a unique identifier is generated and used in connection with your account, so that your personal information is not disclosed.

Opt out from targeted advertisements:

Desktops and Laptops. You may opt out of receiving targeted advertisements from certain companies by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") opt out tool at http://optout.aboutads.info. The Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI") provides more information at https://thenai.org/how-to-opt-out/.

Mobile Devices. You may opt out of tracking and receiving tailored advertisements on your mobile device by some mobile advertising companies and other similar entities by downloading the App Choices app at https://www.aboutads.info/appchoices or by visiting NAI Mobile Choices at https://thenai.org/opt-out/mobile-opt-out/.

Opting out does not mean you will no longer receive advertising (including ads provided by Newsday). It means that the company or companies from which you opted out will no longer deliver ads tailored to your web preferences and usage patterns, and you may still see product recommendations and other similar features on Newsday.com and its affiliated sites.

Except as otherwise disclosed in this Privacy Policy, we do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals or other mechanisms that provide a method to opt out of the collection of information across the networks of websites and online services in which we participate; if we do so in the future, we will describe how we do so here. For more information on "Do Not Track," please visit http://allaboutdnt.com.

9. Children's Privacy

Newsday's services are intended for a general audience and they are not directed to children under the age of 13, as defined by the U.S. Children's Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13, although certain third party sites that we link to may do so. These third party sites have their own terms of use and privacy policies and we encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children to never provide information on our websites without their permission.

If you are a parent or guardian and have reason to believe that we have collected personal information from your child in a manner not permitted by law, please contact us as provided in the Contact Information section below, and provide sufficient detail to enable us to locate and delete the information. We will take appropriate steps to delete the information as required by applicable law.

Eraser Law. If you are a California resident under the age of 18, and a registered user of any website where this Privacy Policy is posted, California law permits you to request and obtain removal of content or information you have publicly posted. You may submit your request using the Contact Information in this Privacy Policy. Please be aware that such a request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information you have posted and that there may be circumstances in which the law does not require or allow removal even if requested.

10. Your Choices

In general, if you register to use any of our Services, you may update the information you have provided to us for any of our services by visiting the account information page of that service.

Email: When you register for our services, you may be able to indicate your preferences regarding marketing communications. On our Newsletters and Email Management page, you may be able to change those preferences and select the categories of communications that interest you. When we or our affiliates send you emails containing offers that may be of interest to you, those emails may contain links via which you may opt out of receiving those communications. If you experience difficulty with the "unsubscribe" process, please contact us at privacy@newsday.com and provide your email address along with the name of the product or newsletter from which you would like to unsubscribe. If you have subscribed to multiple products and newsletters, you will need to specifically request to unsubscribe from each newsletter. You will not be able to opt out of receiving certain service-related or transactional communications relating to our services unless you cancel your registration or subscription.

Telephone Promotions: You can ask to unsubscribe from our telephone solicitations by calling our toll-free number 1-800-NEWSDAY (1-800-639-7329). You may also email us at privacy@newsday.com with "Opt Out" in the subject line and your account number and phone number in the body of the email and requesting to be removed from our telephone promotions.

Text Messages: If you have elected to receive text messages, you can opt out of text alerts any time by replying "STOP" or any alternative keyword. We complete any opt out request as fast as we can. If you opt out from one of our text message programs, you may continue to receive text messages from Newsday through any other programs you have joined (e.g., editorial text alerts, sweepstakes, etc.) until you separately unsubscribe from those programs. THE OPT OUT REQUESTS WON'T PROHIBIT US FROM SENDING YOU IMPORTANT NONMARKETING COMMUNICATIONS. Text messaging originator opt in data is shared only with our Service Providers. For additional information, please refer to our Messaging Service Terms.

Push Notification: You can disable push notifications any time by adjusting your device settings accordingly, or uninstalling the Newsday app. Even after your account is cancelled, we may retain your information for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Platform & Web Browser Controls:

Cookie Controls & Settings - See information in the Use Of Cookies, Web Beacons And Other Technologies section above.

Global Privacy Control (GPC) - Some browsers and browser extensions support the Global Privacy Control ("GPC"), which can send a signal to the websites you visit and allow you to opt out of certain types of use and disclosure of your personal information. Depending on your jurisdiction and if your browser supports it, our websites recognize and process the Global Privacy Control opt out preference signals. For more information on how you can turn on the Global Privacy Control to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information, visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org.

Do Not Track (DNT) - Some browsers allow you to send a "Do Not Track" ("DNT") signal to the sites you visit. This signal tells the websites you visit that you don't want them to track you. However, unlike GPC signals mentioned above, there is no clear understanding on how to interpret these DNT signals and consequent implementation. As such, we do not respond to browser Do Not Track signals. If we decide to implement DNT in the future, we will describe how we do so here. For more information on DNT, please visit http://allaboutdnt.com.

Mobile Advertising ID Controls for iOS and Android Users - iOS or Android mobile devices provide options about how to limit tracking and/or reset advertising IDs. For information on how to implement advertising ID controls and choices on your iOS or Android mobile device visit https://thenai.org/opt-out/mobile-opt-out/ . As each mobile platform controls these instructions, and not us, we cannot guarantee that these guidelines will remain the same or that they'll always be available.

Smart TVs, Streaming & Other Connected Devices. We may make NewsdayTV and other Newsday content available through smart TVs and third-party streaming platforms (such as Local Now, YouTube, and Apple TV). If you access our content through these services, we may receive information such as viewing activity and device identifiers, subject to your privacy settings and the platform’s practices.

You can manage certain data collection and advertising preferences through your device's settings. Depending on the device, options may include limiting ad tracking, disabling automatic content recognition (ACR), or turning off targeted advertising or interactive features. Available controls vary by device and manufacturer. You can also learn how to opt-out on such devices by visiting the NAI's website.

11. Security

While we strive to maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, no information system can be 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. Moreover, we cannot be responsible for information that you transmit over networks that we do not control or information that you choose to publicly disclose. You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any passwords or other account information.

We make reasonable efforts to secure the account information pages and other registration locations for our services, such that they can be accessed only by our authorized personnel or by logging in with your username and password. We endeavor to protect the security of your payment information during transmission by using technology that encrypts information you submit.

12. How Long We Retain Your Information

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary, including to provide you the services and while you have an open account with us. We may retain your personal information for longer if it is necessary to comply with our legal or reporting obligations, resolve disputes, collect fees, etc. or as permitted or required by applicable law. We may also retain your personal information in a deidentified or aggregated form so that it can no longer be associated with you. To determine the appropriate retention period for your personal information, we consider various factors such as the amount, nature, and sensitivity of your information; the potential risk of unauthorized access, use or disclosure; the purposes for which we process your personal information; and applicable legal requirements.

13. Your State Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Iowa, Delaware, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee, Minnesota, Maryland, Indiana, Kentucky, Rhode Island, or another U.S. state with similar comprehensive privacy legislation (collectively, "Covered States"), you may have specific rights regarding your personal information under applicable state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, Colorado Privacy Act, Connecticut Data Privacy Act, Utah Consumer Privacy Act, Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act, Iowa Consumer Data Protection Act, Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act, Nebraska Data Privacy Act, New Hampshire Data Privacy Act, New Jersey Data Privacy Act, Tennessee Information Protection Act, Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act, Maryland Online Data Privacy Act, Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act, Kentucky Consumer Data Protection Act, Rhode Island Data Transparency and Privacy Protection Act, and similar laws in other U.S. states (collectively, "State Privacy Laws").

This section describes the rights that consumers of Covered States have and explains how to exercise those rights. These rights are granted only to the extent that you are considered a consumer of a Covered State and we are acting as a "controller" or "business" (as applicable) under State Privacy Laws with respect to your personal information. The categories of personal information we process, our purposes for processing your personal information, the categories of personal information that we share with third parties, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it are set forth in the terms of this Privacy Policy above.

Notice at Collection. Personal Information We Collect

At or before the time of collection, you have a right to receive notice of our Privacy Policy practices. We may collect or have collected personal information in the following categories from consumers within the last twelve (12) months. The categories and examples provided in the chart below are those defined in the CCPA. This does not mean that all examples of that category of personal information were in fact collected but reflects our good faith belief to the best of our knowledge that some of that information may have been collected about consumers. We will update this disclosure from time to time as appropriate.

In response to a verified consumer request for categories of information collected, we will investigate and provide an individualized response to the consumer and will not merely refer the consumer to our general practices outlined in this Privacy Policy unless our response would be the same for all consumers and this Privacy Policy discloses all the information that is otherwise required for the response to such a consumer request.

Category	Examples
A. Identifiers.	A name, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, IP address, email address, account name, devices, or other similar identifiers.
B. Personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)).	A name, address, telephone number, education, employment, employment history, credit card number, debit card number, or any other payment information. Some personal information in this category may overlap with other categories.
C. Protected classification characteristics under California or federal law.	Age (40 years or older) and gender.
D. Commercial information.	Records of products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies.
E. Internet or other similar network activity.	Browsing history, search history, information on a consumer's interaction with a website, application, or advertisement.
F. Professional or employment-related information.	This category includes, without limitation, information regarding job applications, information related to onboarding for payroll and benefits, work history, and information needed for evaluating performance.
G. Sensitive Information.	Sensitive information means a consumer's account log-in, financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account; racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs.
H. Inferences drawn from other personal information.	Profile reflecting a person's preferences, characteristics, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes.

If we decide to collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes we will update this Privacy Policy.

Personal information does not include certain categories of information, such as publicly available information from government records, and deidentified or aggregated consumer information.

Right to Know about Personal Information Collected

Right to know. You may have the right to know whether we process your personal information and to access such personal information. You may also have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information. Residents of Minnesota or Oregon have the right to: (i) confirm additional information about the categories of personal information we have processed about them; and (ii) obtain a list of third parties to which we have disclosed the personal information of Minnesota or Oregon consumers. Residents of Delaware or Maryland have the right to obtain a list of the categories of third parties to which we have disclosed the personal information of Delaware or Maryland consumers.
Right to data portability. You may have the right to obtain a copy of your personal information that you previously provided to us in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows you to transmit the data to another business without hindrance, where the processing is carried out by automated means.
Right to delete. You may have the right to delete personal information that you have provided by or that we have obtained about you. Please note that we may deny such request if the requested deletion falls under an exception as set forth in the State Privacy Laws.
Right to correct. You may have the right to correct inaccuracies in your personal information, taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes for which we process it.
Right to opt out. You have the right to opt out of the processing of your personal information for purposes of: (i) targeted advertising; (ii) the sale of personal information; or (iii) profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you. As of the latest date of the Privacy Policy:
- We DO process personal information or share it with third parties for the purposes of targeted advertising;
- We DO NOT sell your personal information in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration; and
- We DO NOT engage in profiling decisions based on your personal information that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.
Right to limit the use of your sensitive personal information. If you are a California resident, you may have the right to limit the use or disclosure of your sensitive personal information ("SPI") if we are using it beyond what is reasonable and proportionate to provide the requested goods or services. You can make a request for us to limit the use or disclosure of your SPI by visiting the web page Data Subject Request Form . We will also treat opt-out preference signals as valid "Limit the Use" requests.
Right to nondiscrimination. You have the right not to be retaliated against or receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of your privacy rights. Unless permitted by the State Privacy Laws, we will not:
- Deny you goods or services;
- Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties;
- Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or
- Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

We currently do not offer any financial incentive, benefit, or price differences in return for the disclosure, deletion, sale or sharing of personal information. However, in general, our business model is based on providing a certain amount of free content to readers, after which we may require that additional content access must be paid for.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise the rights described above, please submit a request through this web form or by emailing privacy@newsday.com . We reserve the right to only respond to verifiable consumer requests to know, delete, or correct. A verifiable consumer request is one made by any individual who is:

the consumer who is the subject of the request,
a consumer on behalf of the consumer's minor child, or
the authorized agent of the consumer.

The verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, which may include: providing your email and phone verification, known customer information, and/or account sign-up authentication or other information needed to verify your identity depending on the sensitivity of the personal information in question.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request. Additionally, you will need to describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to review, understand, assess, and respond. We will not use the personal information we collect from an individual to determine a verifiable request for any other purpose, except as required or permitted by law.

Opt-out requests do not require verification.

Response Timing and Format

We will make every effort to respond to your request within 45 days from when you contacted us. If you have a complex request, State Privacy Laws allow us up to 90 days to respond. We will contact you within 45 days from when you contacted us to inform you of the need for additional time and the reason for such extension. We may charge you a reasonable fee to cover administrative costs if your requests are manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive.

If we decline to take action on a request that you have submitted, we will inform you of our reasons for doing so, and provide instructions for how to appeal the decision. Depending on your state of residence you may have the right to appeal within a reasonable period of time after you have received our decision. If you have this appeal right, within 60 days (45 days for residents of Colorado and Minnesota) of our receipt of your appeal, we will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written explanation of the reasons for the decisions. If we deny your appeal, we will provide you with a method for contacting your state attorney general's office to submit a complaint.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Authorized Agent. You may authorize a natural person or a business (the "Agent") to act on your behalf with respect to the rights under State Privacy Laws. When you submit a request to know, correct, or delete, the Agent must provide proof that you gave the Agent signed permission to submit the request, and you either must (i) verify your own identity with the business or (ii) directly confirm with us that you provided permission to the Agent. We reserve the right to deny requests from persons or businesses claiming to be authorized agents that do not submit sufficient proof of their authorization.

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the "Shine The Light" law, permits consumers who are California residents, to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, information about the categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law), if any, that we disclosed in the preceding calendar year to third parties for those third parties' direct marketing purposes. Our disclosure requirements apply only if we share our consumers' personal information with third parties for them to directly market their own products to those consumers, instead of assisting us with our own business. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please contact us as provided in the Contact Information section below.
