Do Not Share My Info

This notice explains the rights available to residents of certain U.S. states regarding their ability to opt out of the sale, sharing, or specific processing of personal information. Individuals who reside in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Oregon, Texas, Utah, or Virginia may be entitled to request limitations on how their personal data is handled, depending on the laws that apply in their jurisdiction.

For individuals located in California, applicable privacy laws grant the right to request that a business stop selling or sharing personal information. The concept of “selling” personal information is broadly defined and may include transferring or making data available to third parties in exchange for value, whether monetary or otherwise. “Sharing” may also involve disclosing personal information to third parties for purposes such as cross-context behavioral advertising, even when no direct payment is involved. These rights are designed to provide consumers with greater control over how their data is distributed and used beyond the original context in which it was collected.

Residents of Colorado, Connecticut, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Virginia are provided with similar protections under their respective state privacy laws. These rights may include the ability to opt out of targeted advertising, profiling activities, or the sale of personal data. While the terminology and scope of these rights may vary slightly between jurisdictions, the overall intent is to allow individuals to limit certain uses of their information, particularly those related to marketing and data sharing with external parties.

Personal information may be disclosed or exchanged in a variety of operational contexts. This can include sharing data within affiliated companies or related business entities to facilitate services, complete transactions, or provide requested products. Information may also be used internally to analyze customer behavior, develop marketing strategies, and improve overall business performance. In addition, third-party analytics providers may process certain data to help evaluate trends, measure engagement, and support business decision-making.

Advertising and marketing partners may also receive limited categories of personal information, such as identifiers, browsing activity, purchase history, or inferred preferences. These partners may use such data to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to users or to support broader promotional efforts. While these activities are common in digital services, they may fall under the definitions of “sale” or “sharing” under certain privacy laws.

It is important to note that personal information of individuals under a specified age threshold is not knowingly sold or shared without appropriate authorization, in accordance with legal requirements. Additional safeguards are in place to ensure that such data is handled responsibly and in compliance with applicable regulations.

Individuals who wish to exercise their right to opt out may do so by submitting a request through available contact methods, such as online forms, live chat, or email communication. In order to process such requests, certain identifying information may be required to verify the identity of the individual making the request. This may include basic contact details or other information necessary to confirm authorization.

Requests cannot be fulfilled if sufficient information is not provided to verify identity or if the request does not follow the outlined procedures. In some cases, additional details may be requested to ensure that the request is legitimate and compliant with legal obligations. Once verified, appropriate steps will be taken to honor the request in accordance with applicable laws.

Choosing to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information may affect how services are delivered or how interactions occur. For example, certain personalized features or marketing communications may be limited as a result of such a request. Despite this, the organization remains committed to respecting user preferences and ensuring transparency in its data practices.

Users are encouraged to review the full privacy policy for more comprehensive information regarding data collection, usage, and rights.
