California law requires us to disclose the following additional information related to our privacy practices. If you are a California resident, the following privacy disclosures apply to you in addition to the rest of the privacy notice.
Categories of Personal Information Collected and Disclosed. California law requires organizations to disclose whether certain categories of personal information are collected, disclosed for an organization’s “business purpose”, or “sold” and/or “shared” for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising (as those terms are defined under California law). We may collect, share, and disclose personal information that is subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and other federal laws. Such information is not subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively “California Privacy Law”), and while not required, may be included in the table below.

Please note that the following table is comprehensive, and we collect different information about people based on their relationships and interactions with us.
Please note, in addition to the recipients identified below, we may disclose any of the categories of personal information we collect to government entities, as may be needed to comply with law or prevent illegal activity, or professional services organizations, such as auditors and law firms. We do not “sell” your personal information for money. As discussed elsewhere in this privacy notice, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies for purposes of targeted advertising. The types of information that you can access and update may change over time. Remember, some of the information we collect does not identify you personally or is not stored in an online accessible format and thus, may not be accessible through your account. For more information, please see Section B.7.
California Sensitive Information Disclosure. Some of the personal information we collect is considered “sensitive personal information” under California law. We collect the following categories of sensitive personal information (as defined under California law): Social security, driver’s license, state identification card, or passport number; and account log-in, financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account.

Your Privacy Rights. If you are a California resident, you may have the following rights over your information:

Based on our reasonable estimate, the value of the personal information you provide to us is related to the value of the referral provided and commission paid through the Program.
