Data from other sources.  We may combine personal information we receive from you with personal information we obtain from other sources, such as:

Data collected automatically.  We, our service providers, and our business partners may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your activity over time on the Sites and other online services, such as:

·         Device data, such as your computer or mobile device operating system type and version number, manufacturer and model, browser type, screen resolution, IP address, the website you visited before browsing to our website, and general location information such as city, state, or geographic area.

·         Online activity data, such as pages or screens you viewed how long you spent on a page or screen, navigation paths between pages or screens, information about your activity on a page or screen, access times, and duration of access.

 

Cookies and similar technologies.  Like many online services, we may use the following technologies:

·         Cookies, which are text files that websites store on a visitor’s device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser for the purpose of helping you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, enabling functionality, helping us understand user activity and patterns, and facilitating online advertising.

·         Flash cookies, or locally stored objects, which are used on websites for purposes similar to cookies but allow storage of a larger amount of data.

·         Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are typically used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was access or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked, typically to compile statistics about usage of websites and the success of marketing campaigns.

·         Software development kits, or SDKs, which may be used to incorporate third-party computer code into an App we create that would allow our third-party service providers or possible advertising partners to collect data directly from it for a variety of purposes, including to provide us with analytics regarding the use of the App, to integrate with social media, add features or functionality to our App, or to facilitate possible future online advertising.

·         Session replay technologies.  We may use third-party services that record users’ interactions with the Services in a manner that allows us to watch DVR-like replays of those user sessions.  The replays may include users’ clicks, future mobile App touches, mouse movements, scrolls, and keystrokes/key touches during those sessions.  These replays would help us diagnose usability problems and identify areas for improvement.

 

Information about others.  Users of the Service may have the opportunity to refer contacts to us and share their contact information with us.  Please do not refer someone to us or share their contact information with us unless you have their permission to do so.

CALIFORNIA PRIVACY NOTICE

 

This section describes how we collect, use, and share Personal Information of California residents in operating our business and their rights with respect to that Personal Information.  For purposes of this section, “Personal Information” has the meaning given in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) but does not include information exempted from the scope of the CCPA.

 

Your California privacy rights.  As a California resident you have the rights listed below.  However, these rights are not absolute, and in certain cases, we may decline your request, as permitted by law.

 

·         Information/know.  You can request information about:

o   The categories of personal information that we have collected.

o   The categories of sources from which we collected personal information.

o   The business or commercial purpose for collecting, sharing, and/or selling personal information.

o   The categories of personal information that we sold or disclosed for a business purpose.

o   The categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold, shared, or disclosed for a business purpose.

 

·         Access.  You can request a copy of the personal information that we have collected about you.

·         Deletion.  You can ask us to delete the personal information that we have collected from you.

·         Correction.  You can request that we correct inaccurate personal information that we have collected about you.

·         Opt out.  If we “sell” or “share” your personal information as defined by the CCPA, you can opt out of those disclosures.

·         Nondiscrimination.  You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from the discrimination which is prohibited by the CCPA.

 

We cannot process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to understand and respond to it.

 

Identity verification.  We need to verify your identity to process your requests to exercise your rights to know, access, deletion, and correction, and we reserve the right to confirm your California residency.  To verify your identity, we may require you to log into any online account you may have, provide identifiers we can match against information we may have collected from you previously, confirm your request using the email or telephone account stated in the request, provide government identification, or provide a declaration under penalty of perjury, where permitted by law.

 

Authorized agents.  Your authorized agent may make a request on your behalf upon our verification of the agent’s identity and our receipt of a copy of a valid power of attorney given to your authorized agent pursuant to applicable state law.  If you have not provided your agent with such a power of attorney, we may ask you and/or your agent to take additional steps permitted by law to verify that your request is authorized, such as information required to verify your identity and that you have given the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

 

Information practices.  The following describes our practices currently and since we began in business in February 2023.

·         Sources and purposes.  We collect all categories of personal information from the sources and use them for the business/commercial purposes, both as described above in the Privacy Policy.

·         Sales and sharing of personal information.  Our use of any internet-based advertising services described above may constitute “sharing” of your Personal Information from which you have the right to opt out.  That is because these services may use our users’ personal information (specifically, the contact data, device data, and online activity data described above in Personal Information we collect) to show you ads they think may interest you on other online services.  We do not “sell” personal information as defined by the CCPA and have no actual knowledge that we have sold or shared the personal information of California residents under 16 years of age.

·         Sensitive personal information.  We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that California residents have a right to limit under the CCPA.

·         Retention.  We generally retain personal information to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, to establish or defend legal claims, or for fraud prevention purposes.  When we no longer require the personal information, we may either delete it, anonymize it, or isolate it from further processing.

·         Deidentification.  We do not attempt to reidentify deidentified information derived from personal information, except for the purpose of testing whether possible deidentification processes comply with applicable law.

·         Collection and disclosure.  The chart below describes the personal information we collect by reference to the categories of personal information specified in the CCPA (Cal. Civ. Code §1798.140), and the categories of third parties to whom we disclose it.  The terms in the chart refer to the categories of information and third parties detailed above in the Personal Information we collect section. Information you voluntarily provide to us, such as in any free-form webforms, may contain other categories of personal information not described below.  We may also disclose personal information to professional advisors, law enforcement, and government authorities, and business transferees as described above in the How we share your personal information section of this Privacy Policy.
