This CPRA Privacy Notice supplements our “Privacy Policy”  to provide California residents with information and rights required by the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”). The CPRA Privacy Notice applies only to individuals residing in the State of California who are considered “consumers” under the CPRA and from whom we collect “Personal Information” as described in the CPRA.

This CPRA Privacy Notice describes the types and categories of Personal Information we collect, the business purposes for which we collect, use, store, disclose and share your Personal Information, with whom we share it, and your rights in Personal Information under the CPRA.

We do not sell your Personal Information.
