Other terms used in this USA Supplement may be defined under the CCPA, CPA, VCDPA, NOPL, UCPA, or CDPA, and they shall have the meanings described in those statutes.

You have the right to submit requests related to the Personal Information we have collected about you. You may make such a request twice in a 12-month span. Please note, there are circumstances when we may not be able to comply with your request. For example, we may not be able to verify your request, or we may find that providing a full response conflict with other legal obligations or regulatory requirements. We will notify you if this is the case.

We do not sell but we may share your Personal Information, or process Personal Information for targeted advertising purposes. In the past 12 months, we have not sold or shared the categories of consumer Personal Information as listed in this USA Supplement. As a consumer, you have the right to opt-out of the sale and/or sharing of your Personal Information and of the processing of Personal Information for the purpose of targeted advertising. To submit an opt-out request, please follow the “Instructions to Exercise Your Rights,” below. We do not knowingly sell or share Personal Information of consumers under 18 years of age.

Verification Process
When you submit a request to exercise your data subject rights, we may ask you to provide information that will enable us to verify your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response. If you designate an authorized agent to exercise your rights on your behalf, we may require that you or the authorized agent do the following:
- 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.
