California Privacy Rights
The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the “CCPA”) provides California residents with specific privacy rights in certain circumstances.

We nevertheless remain committed to protecting the privacy and security of all personal data that you provide to us.
If you are a California resident, you may request that we disclose a list of all third parties with whom we have shared your “personal information” (as defined by California’s “Shine the Light” law) during the previous calendar year, along with the type of personal information that we disclosed.
