  1. California and Nevada Privacy Rights

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) requires us to make specific disclosures about how we collect, use and share the personal information of California residents who are subject to CCPA. CCPA also grants such California residents certain rights related to their personal information. This section describes our personal information practices offline and online, and contains these required disclosures and instructions for California residents who wish to exercise their rights under CCPA.

Please note that, to the extent permitted under CCPA, this section does not apply to the personal information of California residents that we collect:

  • From our workforce members for employment-related purposes; or
  • In the course of certain business-to-business transactions

We are required under CCPA to tell you which categories of “personal information” we collect, and which of these categories we disclose for “business purposes” or for “sale” purposes as these terms are defined under CCPA.

  • In the past 12 months, we have collected the following categories of personal information from California residents: identifiers; categories of personal information described in subdivision (e) of Section 1798.80, including physical characteristics or description; commercial information; internet or other electronic network activity information; audio, electronic and visual information; geolocation information; professional or employment-related information; education information; and inferences drawn from the categories in this paragraph.
