Some of those marketing activities, when conducted through the use of third parties, may be considered a “Sale” or “Share” under certain US Privacy Laws. In this context, as is common practice among companies that operate online, we permit third party advertising networks, social media companies and other third-party businesses to collect information directly from your browser or device through cookies or similar tracking technology when you visit or interact with the website, for example, for collection of Online Identifiers and Advertising and Targeting data as detailed above. These third parties use this personal information to deliver targeted advertising (also known as “cross-context behavioral advertising”) and personalized content to you on our website, on other sites and services you may use, and across other devices you may use, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research. To learn more about this please read section 5 of the Privacy Policy regarding Cookies. Depending on your state of residency and subject to certain legal limitations and exceptions, you may be able to limit or opt-out of the sale of personal information or the processing of personal information for purposes of targeted advertising through the use of the Cookie Toolbar on the website’s footer or as described above in Section 11 of the Privacy Policy. 

We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of individuals younger than 16 years of age. Similarly, as a “Business” or “Controller”, we do not collect or process, therefore not Sell or Share, any Sensitive Data.

Exercising Your Privacy Rights

Subject to certain legal limitations and exceptions, you may be able to exercise some or all of the rights detailed in Section 11 of the Privacy Policy, “Your Rights”, through filling out our DSR form and sending it to us by email at: [email protected]. We reserve the right to ask for reasonable evidence to verify your identity before providing you with any such information per applicable law, including requesting a photo ID or other similar documentation and records. We will always maintain the privacy and security of such evidence. 

Further, and as explained in Section 11 above, certain rights can be easily executed independently by you without the need to contact us, for example: (i) You can opt-out from receiving our marketing emails by clicking the “ unsubscribe” link; and (ii) You can use the cookie settings tool on our Website to change your preferences.

Authorized Agents

In certain circumstances, and subject to applicable US Privacy Laws, you may permit an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf. The authorized agent must provide a letter signed by you confirming the agent has permission to submit a request on your behalf or provide sufficient evidence to show that the authorized agent has been lawfully vested with power of attorney. For security purposes, we may need to verify your identity and confirm directly with you that you have provided the authorized agent with permission to submit the request, and it may take additional time to fulfil agent-submitted requests. We may deny a request in the event we are not able to verify the authorized agent’s authority to act on your behalf. Please note that for privacy and security reasons, we will direct future communications to the individual on whose behalf the request was made.

Depending on your state of residency, you may be able to appeal a decision we have made in connection with your privacy rights request, by contacting us as instructed in our response.
