1. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT.


a. Information About You That You Provide.

DL and/or its Service Providers (defined below) may collect information you provide directly to DL and/or its Service Providers via the Service. For example, DL collects information when you set up an account and thereafter when you use the Service, subscribe to notifications, or communicate or transact through the Service. In addition, when you interact with Third-Party Services (defined below), you may be able to provide information to those third parties. For more information on Third-Party Services’ data collection and practices, click here. For more information on Service Provider data collection and practices click here.


Information DL, its Service Providers and/or Third-Party Services may collect may include: (1) personally identifiable information, which is information that identifies you personally, such as your first and last name, e-mail address, phone number, address, and full payment account number (“Personally Identifiable Information” or “PII”); and (2) demographic information, such as your gender, age, zip code, interests, and recent and upcoming purchases

(“Demographic Information”)

. Except to the extent required by applicable law, Demographic Information is

“non-Personally Identifiable Information”

or

“non-PII”

(i.e., data that is not Personally Identifiable Information under this Privacy Policy). In addition, Personally Identifiable Information, including, without limitation, DL-Collected PII (defined below), once “De-identified” (i.e., the removal or modification of the personally identifiable elements, or the extraction of non-personally identifiable elements, including through anonymization, pseudonymization, and/or hashing) is also non-Personally Identifiable Information and may be used and shared without obligation to you, except as prohibited by applicable law. However, we do not make assurances that De-identified data is not capable of re-identification. To the extent any non-Personally Identifiable Information, or PII collected outside of the Service, is combined by or on behalf of DL with Personally Identifiable Information DL itself collects directly from you on the Service (“DL-Collected PII”), DL will treat the combined data as DL-collected PII under this Privacy Policy. The definition of “personal information” under certain state laws differs from the definition of PII used in this Privacy Policy. California and Nevada residents can learn more about their privacy rights here.

b. Information Collected Automatically.

DL, its Service Providers, and/or Third-Party Services may also automatically collect certain information about you when you access or use the Service (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include IP address, device identifier, browser type, operating system, information about your use of the Service, and data regarding network connected hardware (e.g., computer or mobile device). Except to the extent required by applicable law, or to the extent Usage Information is combined by or on behalf of DL with DL-Collected PII, DL does not consider Usage Information (including, without limitation, unique device identifiers) to be Personally Identifiable Information or DL-Collected PII. For more information on Third-Party Services’ data collection and practices click here. For more information on Service Provider data collection and practices click here. For information on choices some of these third parties may offer you regarding automated data collection click here.


The methods that may be used on the Service to collect Usage Information include:

  • Log Information:Log information is data about your use of the Service, such as IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamps, and related data, and may be stored in log files.

Note the Links Above Should be Enabled and Should Go to the Following:

  • Cookies: A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s device, which may be session ID cookies or tracking cookies. Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate the Service and expire when you close your browser. Tracking cookies remain longer and help in understanding how you use the Service and enhance your user experience. Cookies may remain on your hard drive for an extended period of time. If you use your browser’s method of blocking or removing cookies, some but not all types of cookies may be deleted and/or blocked and as a result some features, and functionalities of the Service may not work.
  • Web Beacons (“Tracking Pixels”): Web beacons are small graphic images, also known as “Internet tags” or “clear gifs,” embedded in web pages and e-mail messages. Web beacons may be used, without limitation, to count the number of visitors to the Service, to monitor how users navigate the Service, and to count content views.
  • Embedded Scripts: An embedded script is programming code designed to collect information about your interactions with the Service. It is temporarily downloaded onto your computer from DL’s web server, or from a third party with which DL works and is active only while you are connected to the Service and deleted or deactivated thereafter.
  • Location-Identifying Technologies: GPS (global positioning systems) software, geo-filtering and other location-aware technologies locate you (sometimes precisely), or make assumptions about your location, for purposes such as verifying your location and delivering or restricting content, including third party ads, based on your location. If you have enabled GPS or use other location-based features on the Service, your device location may be tracked by us and third parties.
  • Device Recognition Technologies: Technologies, including application of statistical probability to data sets, as well as linking a common unique identifier to different device use (e.g., Facebook ID), which attempt to recognize or make assumptions about users and devices (e.g., that a user of multiple devices is the same user or household) (“Cross-Device Data”).
  • In-App Tracking Methods: There are a variety of Tracking Technologies that may be included in mobile applications, and these are not browser-based like cookies and cannot be controlled by browser settings. Some use device identifier, or other identifiers such as “Ad IDs,” or may use “SDKs,” to associate app user activity to a particular app and to track user activity across apps and/or devices. SDKs are blocks of code that may be installed in our mobile application by third party companies with which we work. SDKs help us understand how you interact with our mobile application and collect certain information about the device and network you use to access our application, such as the advertising identifier associated with your device and information about how you interact with our application.
  • Devices and Activity Monitoring: Technologies that monitor, and may record, certain of your interactions with the Service, and/or collect and analyze information from your device, such as, without limitation, your operating system, plug-ins, system fonts, and other data, for purposes such as identification, security, fraud prevention, troubleshooting, tracking and/or improving the Services and customizing or optimizing your experience on the Services.

Some information about your use of the Service and certain other online services may be collected using Tracking Technologies across time and services and used by DL and third parties for purposes such as to associate different devices you use and deliver relevant ads and/or other content to you on the Service and certain other online services. See Section 11 regarding certain choices regarding these activities.


DL is giving you notice of the Tracking Technologies and your choices regarding them explained in Section 11 so that your consent to encountering them is meaningfully informed.

c. Information DL Collects From Other Sources.

DL may also obtain information about you from other sources, including Service Providers and Third-Party Services, and combine that with DL-Collected PII. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, except to the extent such data is combined by or on behalf of DL with DL-Collected PII, this Privacy Policy is not intended to limit DL’s activities regarding such third-party-sourced, or non-Service-sourced, information (including Personally Identifiable Information), and such data will only be treated as DL-Collected PII to the extend it is combined with DL-collected PII. DL is not responsible or liable for the accuracy of the information provided by third parties or for third party policies or practices.

  • Your Disclosure or Consent: As more fully described in Section 5 (Information You Disclose Publicly or to Others) and Section 6 (Third-Party Content, Third-Party Services, Social Features, Advertising and Analytics), your activities on the Service may, by their nature, result in the sharing of your DL-Collected Personally Identifiable Information (as well as your other Personally Identifiable Information and your non-Personally Identifiable Information) with third parties and by engaging in these activities you consent to that and further sharing and disclosure to third parties. Such third-party data receipt and collection is subject to the privacy and business practices of that third party, not DL.

The Service may include or link to third-party websites, apps, locations, platforms, code (e.g., plug-ins, application programming interfaces (“API”), and software development kits (“SDKs”)) or other services (“Third-Party Service(s)”). These Third-Party Services may use their own cookies, web beacons, and other Tracking Technologies to independently collect information about you and may solicit Personally Identifiable Information from you.

7. DATA SECURITY AND MONITORING.


DL takes reasonable measures to protect DL-Collected PII (excluding public UGC) from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

11. CHOICES: TRACKING AND COMMUNICATIONS OPTIONS.


a. Tracking Technologies Generally.


Regular cookies may generally be disabled or removed by tools available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some instances blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Browsers offer different functionalities and options, so you may need to set them separately. Also, tools from commercial browsers may not be effective with regard to Please be aware that if you disable or remove certain Tracking Technologies, some parts of the Service may not work and that when you revisit the Service your ability to limit browser-based Tracking Technologies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.


Some App-related Tracking Technologies in connection with non-browser usage (e.g., most functionality of a mobile app) can only be disabled by uninstalling the app. To uninstall an app, follow the instructions from your operating system or handset manufacturer. Apple and Google mobile device settings have settings to limit ad tracking, and other tracking, but these may not be completely effective.


Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many online services, DL currently does not alter DL’s practices when DL receives a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” you can visithttp://www.allaboutdnt.com, but DL is not responsible for the completeness or accuracy of this third party information. Some third parties, however, may offer you choices regarding their Tracking Technologies. One way to potentially identify cookies on our web site is to add the free Ghostery plug-in to your browser (www.ghostery.com), which according to Ghostery will display for you traditional, browser-based cookies associated with the web sites (but not mobile apps) you visit and privacy and opt-out policies and options of the parties operating those cookies. DL is not responsible for the completeness or accuracy of this tool or third-party choice notices or mechanisms. For specific information on some of the choice options offered by third party analytics and advertising providers, see the next section. We may, from time-to-time, and in certain jurisdictions, offer or point you to tools that allow you to exercise certain preferences regarding cookies and other Tracking Technologies associated with the Services, but such tools rely on third parties and third party information so we do not guaranty that the tools will provide complete and accurate information or be completely effective. For instance, here is where you can find cookie controls for popular browsers:


We do not represent that these third-party tools, programs or statements are complete or accurate. You will need to do this on each browser that you use to access our Services, and clearing cookies on your browser(s) may disable your preference settings. Also, our Services may not function properly or as intended if you block all or even certain cookies. Accordingly, you may want to consider the more limited opt-out choices noted in the next section.


b. Analytics and Advertising Tracking Technologies.


You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Adobe Analytics by going to http://www.adobe.com/privacy/opt-out.html under the section labeled “Tell our customers not to measure your use of their web sites or tailor their online ads for you.”


You may choose whether to receive some Interest-based Advertising by submitting opt-outs. Some of the advertisers and Service Providers that perform advertising-related services for us and third parties may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding Interest-based Advertising, including use of Cross-device Data for serving ads, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/, and http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices for information on the DAA’s opt-out program specifically for mobile apps (including use of precise location for third party ads). Some of these companies may also be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). Please be aware that, even if you are able to opt out of certain kinds of Interest-based Advertising, you may continue to receive other types of ads. Opting out only means that those selected members should no longer deliver certain Interest-based Advertising to you but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., from other ad networks). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit these opt-out webpages, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different device or web browser or use a non-browser-based method of access (e.g., mobile app), your NAI / DAA browser-based opt-out may not, or may no longer, be effective. DL supports the ad industry’s Self-regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising and expects that ad networks DL directly engages to serve you Interest-based Advertising will do so as well, though DL cannot guaranty their compliance.


We may also use Microsoft Advertising Services. To learn about the data Microsoft collects and how your data is used by it and to opt-out of certain Microsoft browser Interest-based Advertising, please visit here.


We may also use Google Ad Services. To learn more about the data Google collects and how your data is used by it and to opt-out of certain Google browser Interest-Based Advertising, please visit here.


In addition, we may serve ads on other online services that are targeted to reach people on those services that are also identified on one of more of our data bases (“Matched List Ads”). This is done by using Tracking Technologies or by matching common factors between our data bases and the data bases of the other online services. For instance, we may use such ad services offered by Twitter and other Third-Party Services. We are not responsible for these Third-Party Services, including without limitation their security of the data. If we use Twitter Matched List Ads, you should be able to review your ad options in account settings on Twitter. We are not responsible for such third parties’ failure to comply with your or our opt-out instructions, they may not give us notice of opt-outs to our ads that you give to them, and they may change their options without notice to us or you.


DL is not responsible for effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third-parties’ opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.


c. Communications.

You can opt out of receiving certain promotional communications (emails or text messaging) from DL at any time by (i) for promotional e-mails, following the instructions provided in emails to click on the unsubscribe link, or if available by changing your communication preferences by logging onto your account; and (ii) for text messages, following the instructions provided in text messages from DL to text the word, “STOP”. Please note that your opt-out is limited to the e-mail address or phone number used and will not affect subsequent subscriptions. If you opt-out of only certain communications, other subscription communications may continue. Even if you opt out of receiving promotional communications, DL may, subject to applicable law, continue to send you non-promotional communications, such as those about your account, transactions, servicing, or DL’s ongoing business relations


d. Cross-Device Data.

To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding Cross-device data for Interest-based Advertising, see the prior section regarding the DAA’s Interest-based Advertising choices.

    This California Privacy Notice (“Notice”) applies to “Consumers” as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (together with its regulations, the “CCPA”) as a supplement to DL’s Privacy Policy and any other privacy policies or notices. In the event of a conflict between any other DL policy, statement or notice and this Notice, this Notice will prevail as to California Consumers and their rights under the CCPA. Please see also any the general privacy policy or notice posted or referenced on our websites, apps, products, or services.


    Consistent with the CCPA, Section (1) of this Notice covers our collection, use, disclosure, and sale of California Consumers’ “Personal Information” (“PI”) as defined by the CCPA, except to the extent such PI is exempt from the notice obligations of the CCPA for the twelve months preceding the Effective Date and will be updated annually. Our current privacy notices at the point of collection, as well as our general privacy policies and other privacy notices may reflect practices that are more current. Section (2) of this Notice explains the rights California Consumers have under the CCPA.


    Consistent with the CCPA, job applicants, current and former employees and independent contractors (“Personnel”), and subjects of certain business-to-business communications acting solely in their capacity as representatives of another business, are not considered “Consumers” for purposes of this California Privacy Notice or the rights described herein. Publicly available information is also not treated as PI under the CCPA, so this notice is not intended to apply to that data and your Consumer privacy rights do not apply to that data. Terms defined in the CCPA that are used in this Notice shall have the same meaning as in the CCPA.


    (1) Personal Information We Collect.

    In 2021, we collected, retained, used, and disclosed PI about California Consumers as follows:


    Category of PI

    Examples of PI


    Identifiers

    This may include but is not limited to: a real name, alias, unique personal identifier, online identifier, Internet Protocol address, email address, account name, or other similar identifiers.

    Personal Records

    This may include information such as: physical characteristics or description, signature, telephone number, zip code, city, billing address, credit card number, debit card number, or any other financial information.

    Personal Characteristics or Traits

    This may include, but is not limited to: sex, marital status, gender identity, and creed.

    Customer Account Details/Commercial Information

    This may include, but is not limited to: records of products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies. .

    Geolocation Data

    This may include, but is not limited to: precise physical location or movements and travel patterns.

    Sensory Data

    This may include, but is not limited to: audio recordings of customer care calls.

    Inferences from PI Collected

    This may include, but is not limited to: creating a profile about a Consumer reflecting the Consumer’s preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, preferences, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes.


    The chart above reflects that categories of PI required by the CCPA. There may be additional information that we collect that meets the CCPA’s definition of PI but is not reflected by a category, in which case we will treat it as PI as required by the CCPA, but will not include it when we are required to describe our practices by category of PI.


    As permitted by applicable law, we do not treat deidentified data or aggregate consumer information as PI and we reserve the right to convert, or permit others to convert, your PI into deidentified data or aggregate consumer information, and may elect not to treat publicly available information as PI. We have no obligation to re-identify information or keep it longer than we need it to respond to your requests.


    (a) Sources of Personal Information.

    We may collect your PI directly from you or from your devices, and from service providers, as well as public sources of data


    (b) Uses of Personal Information.

    Generally, we collect, retain, use, and share your PI to provide you services and as otherwise related to the operation of our business. For more detail on our disclosures and sale of PI, see the next section.


    We may collect, use and share the PI we collect for one or more of the following business purposes:


    • Processing Interactions and Transactions;
    • Managing Interactions and Transactions;
    • Performing Services;
    • Research and Development;
    • Quality Assurance;
    • Security; and
    • Debugging.

    Additional business purposes include sharing PI with third parties for other than a sale or one of the foregoing business purposes as required or permitted by applicable law, such as to our vendors that perform services for us, to the government or private parties to comply with law or legal process, and to the consumer or other parties at the consumer’s request, and for the additional purposes explained in our Privacy Policy, and to assignees as part of an acquisition, merger, asset sale, or other transaction where a third party assumes control over all or part of our business (“Other Business Purposes”).


    Subject to restrictions and obligations of the CCPA, our vendors may also use your PI for some or all of the above listed business purposes. Our vendors may themselves engage services providers or subcontractors to enable them to perform services for us,which sub-processing is, for purposes of certainty, an Other Business Purpose for which we are providing you notice.


    We may collect and use your PI for commercial purposes, such as for interest-based advertising.


    In addition, we may collect, retain, and use PI for the purpose of sharing it as set forth in the next section.

    (2)California Consumer Privacy Rights.

    We provide California Consumers the privacy rights described in this section. You have the right to exercise these rights via an authorized agent who meets the agency requirements of the CCPA and related regulations. As permitted by the CCPA, any request you submit to us is subject to an identification and residency verification process (“Verifiable Consumer Request”) as more fully explained in the Right to Know and Right to Delete sections below. We will not fulfill your Right to Know or Right to Delete request unless you have provided sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the Consumer about whom we collected PI. To make a request, email us at [email protected] or follow the instructions at our Consumer Rights Request page here and respond to any follow up inquires we may make.


    Some PI we maintain about Consumers is not sufficiently associated with enough PI about the Consumer for us to be able to verify that it is a particular Consumer’s PI when a Consumer request that requires verification pursuant to the CCPA’s verification standards is made (e.g., clickstream data tied only to a pseudonymous browser ID). As required by the CCPA we do not include that PI in response to those requests. If we cannot comply with a request, we will explain the reasons in our response. We will use PI provided in a Verifiable Consumer Request only to verify your identity or authority to make the request and to track and document request responses, unless you also gave it to us for another purpose.


    We will make commercially reasonable efforts to identify Consumer PI that we collect, process, store, disclose and otherwise use and to respond to your California Consumer privacy rights requests. In some cases, particularly with voluminous and/or typically irrelevant data, we may suggest that you receive the most recent or a summary of your PI and give you the opportunity to elect whether you want the rest or not. We reserve the right to direct you to where you may access and copy responsive PI yourself. We will typically not charge a fee to fully respond to your requests; provided, however, that we may charge a reasonable fee, or refuse to act upon a request, if your request is excessive, repetitive, unfounded or overly burdensome. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, or that we may refuse it, we will give you notice explaining why we made that decision. You will be provided a cost estimate and the opportunity to accept such fees before we will charge you for responding to your request.


    Consistent with the CCPA and our interest in the security of your PI, we will not deliver to you financial account number, or an account password in response to a CCPA request; however, you may be able to access some of this information yourself through your account if you have an active account with us.


    Your California Consumer privacy rights are as follows:

    (a) Right to Know.

    To make a Right to Know (Categories) or Right to Know (Specific Pieces) request, email us at [email protected] or follow the instructions at our Consumer Rights Request page here and respond to any follow up inquiries we make. We will respond to your request as outlined in the How to Submit a Request Under the CCPA section below. Please note that PI is retained by us for various time periods, so we may not be able to fully respond to what might be relevant going back 12 months prior to the request.

    (i) Categories

    You have the right to send us a request, no more than twice in a twelve-month period, for any of the following for the period that is twelve months prior to the request date:

    • The categories of PI we have collected about you.
    • The categories of sources from which we collected your PI.
    • The business or commercial purposes for our collecting or selling your PI.
    • The categories of third parties to whom we have shared your PI.
    • A list of the categories of PI disclosed for a business purpose in the prior 12 months and, for each, the categories of recipients, or that no disclosure occurred.
    • A list of the categories of PI sold about you in the prior 12 months and, for each, the categories of recipients, or that no sale occurred.

    For Categories of Information requests, as required by the CCPA, we will apply the verification standards set forth in the How to Submit a Request Under the CCPA section below.


    (ii) Specific Pieces.

    You have the right to make or obtain a transportable copy, no more than twice in a twelve-month period, of your PI that we have collected in the period that is 12 months prior to the request date and are maintaining.


    For Specific Pieces of Information requests, as required by the CCPA, we will apply the heightened verification standards set forth in the How to Submit a Request Under the CCPA section below.


    (b) The Right to Delete.

    You may request that we delete your PI that we have collected directly from you and are maintaining. However, we may have a basis for retention under CCPA.. Our retention rights include, without limitation, to complete transactions and service you have requested or that are reasonably anticipated, to detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity, for legitimate internal business purposes, including maintaining business records, to comply with law, to exercise or defend legal claims, and to cooperate with law enforcement. Note also that we are not required to delete your PI that we did not collect directly from you.


    For Delete requests, as required by the CCPA, we will apply the verification standards set forth in the How to Submit a Request Under the CCPA section below.


    To make a Right to Delete request, email us at [email protected] or follow the instructions at our Consumer Rights Request page here and respond to any follow up inquiries we make.


    Deletion of your personal information will not deactivate your account. As a result, we cannot delete personal information necessary to maintain the account. If you would like to deactivate your account, please follow the instructions in your account settings or email us at [email protected].


    (c) Do Not Sell.

    As noted in our Privacy Policy above, there may be cookies and other Tracking Technologies on our Service that may provide data, which may be treated as PI under the CCPA, to other parties that may use it for their own purposes, which in turn may provide that data to other parties for their own purposes. We do not believe that we sell PI collected by third-parties that operate their own cookies in association with our Services (“Cookie Operators”). Cookie Operators collect PI that falls under the other identifiers (e.g., cookie ID, IP address, and other online IDs) and internet or other electronic activity information categories. However, we will treat PI collected by Cookie Operators, where not limited to acting as our service provider, as a sale and subject to a Do Not Sell opt-out request. We offer a cookie management tool that enables you to exercise your Do Not Sell opt-out request and enable certain cookie preferences on your device here. You must exercise your preferences on each of our websites you visit and from each browser and on each device that you use. Since your opt-out is designated by a cookie, if you clear or block cookies, your preferences will not be effective and you will need to enable them again via our cookie management tool. For additional information on cookies and alternative choices regarding them, including how to opt-out of certain interest-based advertising, see the Cookies and Tracking Technologies sections of our Privacy Policy above.


    We do not knowingly sell the PI of Consumers under 16, as the Service is not available to anyone who is not at least 18 years of age.


    We may disclose your PI for the following purposes, which are not a sale: (i) if you direct us to share PI; (ii) to comply with your requests under the CCPA; (iii) disclosures amongst the entities that constitute Company as defined above, or as part of a merger or asset sale; and (iv) as otherwise required or permitted by applicable law.


    (d) Non-Discrimination and Financial Incentive Programs.

    We will not discriminate against you in a manner prohibited by the CCPA because you exercise your CCPA rights. However, we may charge a different price or rate, or offer a different level or quality of good or service, to the extent that doing so is reasonably related to the value of the applicable data. In addition, we may offer you financial incentives for the collection, sale, retention and use of your PI as permitted by the CCPA that can, without limitation, result in reasonably different prices, rates, or quality levels. The material aspects of any financial incentive will be explained and described in its program terms. Please note that participating in incentive programs is entirely optional, you will have to affirmatively opt-in to the program and you can opt-out of each program (i.e., terminate participation and forgo the ongoing incentives) prospectively by following the instructions in the applicable program description and terms. We may add or change incentive programs and/or their terms by posting notice on the program descriptions and terms linked to above so check them regularly.


    (3) How to Submit a Request Under the CCPA.

    You have the right to exercise your CCPA rights. You may submit a request to exercise your CCPA rights (1) as an individual; or (2) via an authorized agent who meets the agency requirements of the CCPA and related regulations.


    (a) Methods to Submit a Request.

    As permitted by the CCPA, any request you submit to us must be a Verifiable Consumer Request. This means that your request is subject to an identification and residency verification process. We will not fulfill your Right to Know (Categories), Right to Know (Specific Pieces), or Right to Delete request unless you have provided sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the Consumer about whom we collected Personal Information.


    We will use PI provided in a Verifiable Consumer Request only to verify your identity or authority to make the request and to track and document request responses, unless you also gave it to us for another purpose.


    In addition to the above, we verify each request as follows:

    • Right to Know (Categories): We are required to verify a consumer’s request to know categories of PI to a reasonable degree of certainty, which may include matching at least two data points provided by the Consumer with data points maintained by us, which we have determined to be reliable for the purpose of verifying the Consumer.
    • Right to Know (Specific Pieces): We are required to verify a Consumer’s request to know specific pieces of PI to a reasonably high degree of certainty, which may include matching at least three data points provided by the Consumer with data points maintained by us, which we have determined to be reliable for the purpose of verifying the Consumer together with a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that the requestor is the Consumer whose PI is the subject of the request. If you fail to provide the data points we will be unable to verify you sufficiently to honor your request, but we will then treat it as a Right to Know (Categories) request.
    • Do Not Sell: No additional verification required.
    • Right to Delete: We are required to verify a Consumer’s request to delete to a reasonable degree of certainty, which may include matching at least two data points provided by the Consumer with data points maintained by us, or to a reasonably high degree of certainty, which may include matching at least three data points provided by the Consumer with data points maintained by us, depending on the sensitivity of the PI and the risk of harm to the consumer posed by unauthorized deletion. If you fail to provide the data points specified above, we will be unable to verify you sufficiently to honor your request.
    (b)Authorized Agents.

    Authorized agents may exercise rights on behalf of California Consumers, but we reserve the right to also verify the Consumer’s identity directly as described above. Authorized agents must contact us to submit a request by emailing us at [email protected] or follow the instructions at our Consumer Rights Request page here and indicating that they are submitting a request as an agent. We will require the agent to demonstrate authority to act on behalf of the Consumer by providing, for example, evidence of the agent’s identity, proof of registration with the California Secretary of State (if the agent is a business), and at least one of the following evidencing proof of the agent’s legal authority to act on behalf of the individual Consumer:


    • presenting a Power of Attorney granted under the Probate Code that we can reasonably verify; or
    • signed permission by the Consumer.

    We may also require the Consumer to verify their own identity directly with us and to directly confirm with us that they provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.


    In the absence of any of the general conditions detailed above, we are entitled to reject any request submitted through an agent. In addition, the agent is subject to the verification standards applicable to the type of request(s) made.


    (4)Limitation of Rights.

    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, we may collect, use, and disclose your PI as required or permitted by applicable law and this may override your CCPA rights. In addition, we need not honor any of your requests to the extent that doing so would infringe upon our or any other person or party’s rights or conflict with applicable law.


    (b) Nevada Residents.

    Although we do not “sell” “covered information” of Nevada “consumers” as those terms are defined by Chapter 603A of the Nevada Revised Statutes, you may contact us at [email protected] and register an e-mail contact address for us to provide you notice in the event we should do so in the future, at which point you will have an opportunity to be verified and exercise your opt-out rights under that law. Contact us in the same manner to update your contact email for notices. Changing your email elsewhere (e.g., informational requests, account information, etc.) will not update your Nevada notice contact information. It is your responsibility to keep your notice contact information current.

    13. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

    We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy prospectively effective upon the posting of the revised Privacy Policy and your use of our Service indicates your consent to the privacy policy posted at the time of use. However, we will not treat your previously collected DL-Collected PII, to the extent it is not collected under the new privacy policy, in a manner materially different than represented at the time it was collected without your consent. If you have a subscription to a Service, material changes to the Privacy Policy will only become effective with respect to the aspect of that subscription Service at the end of the then current term unless you otherwise consent. To the extent any provision of this Privacy Policy is found by a competent tribunal to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed to the extent necessary for the remainder to be valid and enforceable.
