Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

For California Residents

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) grant California residents specific rights regarding their personal information, including the right to opt-out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information.

What Does "Sale" or "Sharing" Mean?

Under CCPA/CPRA, "sale" is defined broadly and includes:

• Disclosing personal information to third parties for monetary compensation
