We sell and share personal information, or process personal information for targeted advertising purposes.

We do not use Sensitive Personal Information for purposes beyond those authorized by the CCPA.

Right to Non-discrimination.

You have a right to exercise the above rights, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. Please note that a legitimate denial of a request to access, delete, or opt-out is not discriminatory, nor is charging a fee for excessive or repetitive requests.

• Verify your identity with us directly
• Provide proof of your signed written permission for the authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf.

We may deny a request from an agent purportedly acting on your behalf if we request, and the agent does not submit, proof that he, she, or it has been authorized by you to act on your behalf.
