Sale of Personal Data
Although we do not expressly sell your personal information, we share your personal information with third party advertisers through the use of cookies and other automatic forms of data collection. In exchange, we (i) are able to provide more targeted marketing and advertising, which results in increased sales of our products and services; (ii) understand if the Platform is functioning as intended, enabling us to refine the Platform accordingly, potentially resulting in increased sales of products and services; and (iii) better understand the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns.
Under the Colorado Privacy Act of 2023 (the “CPA”), you have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information to third parties. The CPA defines “selling,” in part, as releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating a consumer’s personal information to a third party for monetary or “other valuable consideration.” Under this broad definition, the sharing of personal information through the use of certain cookies could be interpreted as a “sale” of personal information. Therefore, out of an abundance of caution, we provide you with the right to opt-out of the “sale” of your personal information even though such “sale” relates only to the use of certain cookies on our site.
To that end, you have the right to opt out of the “sale” of your personal information by following the instructions on the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” page or by contacting us at [email protected].
If you opt out, we will not be able to offer you personalized ads and will not hand over your personal information to any third parties. Additionally, you may contact us for further clarification about your rights as a Colorado consumer by following the instructions in our Privacy Policy.
If you have enabled privacy controls on your browser (such as a plugin), we have to take that as a valid request to opt out. Therefore we would not be able to track your activity through the web. This may affect our ability to personalize ads according to your preferences.
