Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for direct financial compensation. However, we may allow certain third parties (such as ad networks or affiliate partners) to collect information about your activities on our Website through cookies or other tracking technologies. Under certain privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA/CPRA”), this activity may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information.

“Sharing” under the CCPA/CPRA means disclosing personal information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes, whether or not for monetary consideration. Because we use third-party advertising pixels, retargeting tools, and similar technologies, some of our data practices may constitute “sharing” under this definition.

How to Opt Out of Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

You may opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information and manage your data sharing preferences through any of the following methods:

  • Click the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on our Website.

Please note that once your data is shared with a third-party service provider or partner, their privacy practices and policies will apply. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites or services you engage with.

International Data Transfers

If you are located outside the United States, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where our third-party service providers operate. We take steps to ensure such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws, such as the GDPR, by implementing standard contractual clauses or similar legal mechanisms.

Our Website honors Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. When we detect a GPC signal from your browser, we will treat it as a valid opt-out request for the sale and sharing of personal information associated with that browser, as required by applicable law.

With respect to Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals, there is currently no industry-wide standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We will update this Policy if a uniform standard is adopted.
