Interest-Based Advertising
We engage in interest-based advertising and work with other ad networks to provide you specific ads based on your browsing habits. The information used for interest-based advertising is typically, but not always, gathered through cookies or other tracking technologies that identify the device you are using and gather data, such as click stream data, browser type, the time and date you visited the site, and other details.

This data is used by us and our third-party partners to deliver advertising-related services including reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research, as well as to make the online advertisements you see more relevant to your interests.
Cross-Device Linking
Your different devices may be connected by us or our third-party partners so that the content you view on one device might result in pertinent advertising on another. When you are logged in to our Service, we gather data on each device you use to do this.

|
“Shine the Light” |
California residents that have an established business relationship with us have rights to know how their information is disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes under California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civ. Code § 1798.83). |
5. TO EXERCISE YOUR CALIFORNIA CONSUMER RIGHTS
Please use one of the methods listed below to make a request in order to exercise your California consumer rights.
- Through our privacy portal, submit a California Consumer Rights Request form.
- Call our Customer Service privacy team at 866-438-3771 at any time on Monday through Friday between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm CT.
Before processing some request types, we will need to confirm your identity. As a result, we might need to ask you for more personal information or ask you to enter into your account, if you have one. Personal data supplied in connection with a Consumer Rights Request will only be used by us to examine and fulfill the request.
If we are unable to confirm your identification or find your information in our systems, we may in some cases refuse a request to exercise the rights outlined above. In the event that we are unable to accede to all or a portion of your request, we will provide an explanation.
Additionally, you may alter the "Targeting Cookies" toggle and click the "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link in the website's footer to opt out of the selling of your personal information for the purpose of online advertising. Please be aware that your browser or mobile device must support this opt-out. The opt-out procedure must be completed on each browser or device you use.
Authorized Agents
You may, under certain conditions, designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf to exercise your California privacy rights. The authorized agent must either present a letter that is signed by you verifying that the agent has your consent to make a request on your behalf or must present enough proof to demonstrate that the agency has been duly granted power of attorney.
It may take longer to complete requests filed by authorized agents because we may need to validate your identification and authorization to do so directly with you. This is done for security reasons. If we are unable to confirm the authorized agent's right to act on your behalf, we have the right to refuse a request. Please be aware that we will only contact the data subject on whose behalf the request was made in the future for privacy and security reasons.
Minors Under Age 16
Our websites are not meant for children. When we know a customer is under the age of 16, we do not sell their personal information.
California’s “Shine the Light” Law
Residents of California who have an established business connection with us are given certain rights regarding the sharing of specific categories of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes under California's "Shine the Light" statute (Civil Code Section 1798.83). Please file a California Consumer Rights Request through our Privacy Portal and include your contact information to be included to our suppression list if you would prefer not to have your personal information released to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
