    Entities to whom we "sell" information are third parties. Under the CCPA, a business "sells" personal information when it discloses personal information to a company for monetary or other benefit. A company may be considered a third party either because we disclose personal information to the company for something other than an enumerated business purpose under California law, or because its contract does not restrict it from using personal information for purposes unrelated to the service it provides to us.

    Your rights under the CCPA
  • Know and request access to and deletion of personal information: You have the right to request access to personal information collected about you and information regarding the source of that personal information, the purposes for which we collect it, and the third parties and service providers with to whom we sell or disclose it. You also have the right to request in certain circumstances that we delete personal information that we have collected directly from you. Please contact us to exercise these rights.

You may opt into the program using the means we present to you, such as an online registration page, at the time we make the offer. You may opt out of the program at any time by contacting us at the address below. The program we offer may qualify as a financial incentive program (FIP) under California law.
