1. Definition of Personal Information

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, except where a different definition is noted, “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 California consumer, or household.

Personal Information does not include:

Information that is lawfully made available from government records.
Information that we have a reasonable basis to believe is lawfully made available to the general public by a consumer or from widely distributed media, or information made available by a person to whom a consumer disclosed the information if the consumer has not restricted the information to a specific audience.
Lawfully obtained, truthful information that is a matter of public concern.
De-identified or aggregated consumer information.
Other information excluded from the CCPA’s scope, such as:
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;
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.

2. California “Shine the Light” Law/Your California Privacy Rights

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, contact us as provided in the “Contact Us” section below.

The categories below are those defined in the CCPA. This does not mean that all of the following categories of Personal Information about you were in fact sold but reflects all of the categories of Personal Information that we have sold in the last 12 months.

In response to a verified consumer request to know what Personal Information was collected, shared, or sold, we will investigate and provide an individualized response to the consumer, which will include the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, and/or sharing that information. We 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.

3.5 Disclosing Personal Information to Other Parties

We may disclose your Personal Information to the following categories of other parties for a business purpose or commercial purpose, as those terms are defined in the CCPA:

Our affiliates
Service providers or contractors (as each are defined in the CCPA)
Advertisers, advertising technology companies, analytics companies and other third parties (as defined in the CCPA) with whom we have business relationships
Government regulators
Our legal advisors and parties involved in a legal process
To an entity involved in the sale of all or part of our business
Third parties to whom you or your agents authorize us to disclose your Personal Information in connection with products or Services we provide to you

When we disclose Personal Information for a business purpose, we enter into an agreement with the receiving party that describes the purpose for disclosing the Personal Information, and that requires the receiving party to keep that Personal Information confidential. Our service providers are obligated not to use the Personal Information for any purpose other than performing the services according to their agreement with us. Our contractors are obligated not to use the Personal Information for any purpose unrelated to the business purpose for which we’ve engaged them.

3.6 Retention of Personal Information

We retain each category of your Personal Information for no longer than is reasonably necessary for one or more business purposes, subject to your right to request we delete your Personal Information. It is not possible for us to predict the length of time that we intend to retain your Personal Information. Instead, we use the following criteria to determine whether it remains reasonably necessary to retain your Personal Information for one or more disclosed business purposes:

retention required by, or as necessary to comply with, applicable law or contractual obligations;
pendency of any actual or threatened litigation;
pendency of applicable statutes of limitations for potential legal claims; and
generally accepted best practices in our industry.

When we determine that it is no longer reasonably necessary to retain your Personal Information for one or more disclosed business purposes based on the above criteria, we will delete your Personal Information.

3.7 Your CCPA Privacy Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their Personal Information as described below.

(a) Right to Know about Personal Information Collected, “Sold” or Shared

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection, use, disclosure, sharing, and sale of your Personal Information over the past 12 months. After we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you within the time required by the CCPA, the relevant information, which may include:

The categories of Personal Information we collected about you.
The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you.
Our business or commercial purpose for collecting, sharing, or selling that Personal Information.
The categories of third parties with whom we disclose that Personal Information.
If we sold, shared, or disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:

(ii) for disclosures for a business purpose, the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

You also have the right to request a copy of your Personal Information or that we transmit your Personal Information to another entity. To the extent technically feasible, we will comply with your request and provide and/or transmit your Personal Information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

(b) Right to Request Deletion of Personal Information

You have the right to request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions, including if we or our service providers or contractors need the Personal Information for a reason related to our business, such as:

(1) completing the transaction for which we collected your Personal Information, providing Services that you requested, taking actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise performing our contract with you;

(2) detecting and resolving issues related to security, security incidents, protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecuting those responsible for such activities;

(3) debugging Websites and Services to identify and repair errors that impair existing or intended functionality;

(4) complying with legal obligations, including the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.);

(5) engaging in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research, if you previously provided informed consent;

(6) exercising free speech or ensuring another’s exercise of free speech or another right provided for by law;

(7) using the information for internal purposes that a consumer might reasonably expect based on a consumer’s relationship with us; or

(8) making other internal and lawful uses of that Personal Information that are compatible with the context in which a consumer provided it.

Please be aware that it may be a functional necessity for our Websites or Services to have Personal Information about you in order to operate, and we may not be able to provide some or all of our Websites or Services to you if you direct us to delete your Personal Information.

After we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete your Personal Information from our records within the time period required by the CCPA, unless an exception applies.

You also have the right to request that we correct any of your Personal Information that is inaccurate by submitting a verifiable consumer request. We will correct any inaccurate Personal Information pursuant to your request to the extent possible using commercially reasonable efforts. We may deny your correction request if the Personal Information is accurate. We may also delete your Personal Information instead of correcting it to the extent such deletion would not negatively impact you.

(d) Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Information

You also have the right to request that we limit the use, sale, or sharing of Sensitive Personal Information by submitting a verifiable consumer request. If you submit such a request, we may continue to use or disclose your Sensitive Personal Information to:

Complete the transaction for which we collected your Personal Information, provide goods or services that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you;
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities;

Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us; or
Make any other uses of that information that are permitted by the CCPA and its implementing regulations.

3.6.1 Exercising Your Rights

To exercise the rights described Section 3.6 above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us using the methods set forth in the Contact Us section below.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for information or data portability twice within a 12-month period.

The verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify 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 comply with 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.

3.7.2 Response Timing and Format

We use good faith efforts to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days after its receipt. If we need more time (up to an additional forty-five (45) days), we will inform you of the reason and the needed extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, you may elect to have us deliver our written response by email or postal mail.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. However, if you specifically request disclosure beyond such 12-month period, we will process your request with respect to Personal Information we have collected during the time period you specify, provided that (a) the earliest date that your request may apply to is January 1, 2022, and (b) processing your request does not require disproportionate effort.

If we cannot comply with any portion of a request, the response we provide will also explain why, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a commercially reasonable format to provide your Personal Information that is commonly useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance, but we do not guarantee that all formats are useable in all media.

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

3.7.3 Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of CCPA Privacy Rights

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. In particular, we will not:

Deny you goods or services
Charge you different prices for goods or services, whether through denying benefits or imposing penalties
Provide you with a different level or quality of goods or services or
Threaten you with any of the above

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your Personal Information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

We currently do not offer any financial incentive, benefit, or price differences in return for the disclosure, deletion, or sale of Personal Information. However, in general, our business model is based on providing a certain amount of monthly free content to readers, after which we may require that additional content access must be paid for. On some of our Websites and Services, this content may be paid for either through the delivery of advertisements, or through subscriptions. On those Websites and Services, consumers who use ad-blocking technology will be notified of the option to turn off the ad blocking or to pay for a subscription to access the content. On some other Websites and Services, content must be paid for after a certain number of monthly free articles, whether advertising is present or not.

3.8 Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

The CCPA requires businesses to provide a web page where consumers can opt out of the sale or sharing of their Personal Information. The link to our Do Not Sell web form is located here.

In addition, you may opt out of certain interest-based advertising by using the following resources:

(a) 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 www.aboutads.info/appchoices.

(b) You may opt-out of receiving permissible targeted advertisements by using the NAI Opt-out tool available at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1 or visiting About Ads at http://optout.aboutads.info.

(c) You may opt-out of having your activity on our Websites and Services made available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out add-on for your web browser by visiting: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout for your web browser.

4. California Do Not Track Disclosures

We do not currently respond to browser Do Not Track signals or other browser or device based 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. Unless and until the law requires us to respond to browser Do Not Track signals, we will not respond to those signals as an opt out, but if we do so in the future, we will describe how we do so here. However, we do provide consumers with the ability to manage their cookie choices as described in our Cookie Policy. For more information on Do Not Track, please visit https://allaboutdnt.com

5. Do We Use “Cookies”?

Yes. Cookies and similar technologies are small files that a website or its service provider transfers to a computer’s hard drive through a Web browser (if the user allows) that enables the website’s or service provider’s systems to recognize the user’s browser and capture and remember certain information.

In general, we and our third party providers and advertisers, use cookies and other technologies to optimize the functionality of the Websites, to help us understand how the Websites are used and to provide users with interest-based content or advertising based upon their browsing activities and interests. For more information about the cookies and other technologies that we, our affiliates and third party providers and advertisers use on our Websites, please read our Cookie Policy.

6. Security

We use commercially reasonable procedures and various technical, administrative and physical safeguards to help protect the confidentiality of Personal Information. However, no data transmitted over the Internet or stored or maintained by us or our third-party service providers can be 100% secure given the reality of communication via technology systems. Therefore, although we believe the measures implemented by us are commercially reasonable and reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved, we do not promise or guarantee, and you should not expect, that your Personal Information or private communications sent to us over those systems will always remain private or secure. We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security features.

If you believe that your Personal Information has been accessed or acquired by an unauthorized person, please promptly Contact Us so that necessary measures can quickly be taken.

7. Third Party Links

Our Websites or Services may contain links to other websites or services that are not owned or controlled by us, including links to social media platforms, or may redirect you off our Website away from our Services to other websites for information or other services. This Privacy Policy only applies to information collected by our Websites and Services. We are not responsible for the privacy and security practices of those other websites or social media platforms or the information they may collect (which may include IP address). You should refer to such third parties’ privacy policies on their sites to determine their respective privacy practices. Links to any other website’s or content do not constitute or imply an endorsement or recommendation by us of the linked website, social media platform, and/or content.

8. Children

These Websites are not intended for use by children under the age of 13.

In addition, we do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 16, 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.

Involvement of parents: In accordance with the provisions of the Children’s Online Privacy Act, in the event that we do begin collecting any Personal Information or data from children under the age of 13, we will notify parents first, and will seek parental or guardian consent to collect, use and/or disclose certain Personal Information from children under the age of 13. A parent may review and have deleted their child’s Personal Information, and may refuse to permit further collection or use of their child’s information by contacting us as noted at the end of this Privacy Policy. Parents may consent to our collection and use of their child’s Personal Information without consenting to the disclosure of that information to others.
If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 16 has provided Personal Information to us through a Website without the appropriate consent, please contact us as provided in the “Contact Us” section below with sufficient detail to enable us to delete that information from our databases.

9. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may amend this Privacy Policy at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will post the updated notice on our Websites and update the notice’s “Last Updated” date. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by reasonable means, which may be by e-mail or posting a notice of the changes on our Websites or Services prior to the changes becoming effective. Your continued use of our Website and/or Services following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
