If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the Website may then be inaccessible or not function properly. The major browsers have attempted to implement the draft “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) standard of the World Wide Web Consortium (“W3C”) in their latest releases. As this standard has not been finalized, this Website is not compatible with DNT.

Please note that with respect to any request we reserve the right to seek additional personal information in order to verify your identity and your or your agent’s rights to the data subject to your request. California Law provides residents of California a number of rights as they relate to personal information. These are the “right to know”, the “right to delete”, and the “right to opt out”. Right to Know. You may request Company provide you the specific pieces of personal information that Company has about you; categories of personal information we have collected about you; categories of sources from which the personal information is collected; categories of personal information that Company sold or disclosed for a business purpose about you; categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold or disclosed for a business purpose; and the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information.
Right to Delete. California law gives residents a limited right to request deletion of their personal information. However, this right is limited by a number of exceptions. Fundamentally, if Company has a permissible need to retain personal information, we are not under an obligation to delete such information, even when requested. Generally, we retain personal information so we may complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between us and you; detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity; enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with Company; comply with a legal obligation; or otherwise use your personal information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information. As such, we generally do not accept requests to delete personal information in its entirety. However, we will respond to requests to remove personal information from some of our systems as a part of a request to close or otherwise disable a membership account. Right to Opt Out. Company shares personal information with Business Partners for marketing purposes and to permit our Business Partners to collect data directly from you. You may choose to opt out of the selling or sharing of your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes at any time by submitting a request in writing to our contact address below or using one of the Opt Out tools noted in the “Behavioral Advertising” Section above. Please note that this opt out does not prohibit disclosure made for non-behavioral advertising purposes. For information on how to opt out of any cookie and pixel related “sales” and “sharing” or targeted advertising on any of our Internet Sites, please see the subsection “GPC and Cookie Opt-out” below. Right to Correct. Subject to certain conditions and exceptions, you may request that the Company correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you, taking into account the nature and purposes of the processing of the personal information. Right to Limit Use and Disclosure. Subject to certain conditions and exceptions, you have the right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information. However, as stated above, we do not use or disclose your sensitive personal information for purposes except as described in this Policy and as permitted pursuant to applicable law, including where applicable the CCPA. Designating an Authorized Agent. California law permits California residents to designate an agent to manage their rights under California law. If you would like to designate an agent to manage your privacy preferences, you may do so using the mechanisms noted below under “Exercising California privacy rights”. Non-discrimination. California law does not permit Company to discriminate against you because you exercised any your rights under this title, including, but not limited to, by: denying you access to goods or services; charging different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties; providing a different level or quality of goods or services; suggesting that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services. Your Rights Under Other U.S. State Laws Certain other states, including Colorado, Connecticut, Utah and Virginia provide the Right to Opt Out and/or other similar rights to those set forth above. To the extent rights (including the right to opt out) are available under other state laws they can be exercised in the same way as set forth for California residents above.
