4. Sale of Your Personal Information for Ad Retargeting. California residents also have the right to opt-out of the sale of their Personal Information. CCPA defines some transfers of Personal Information to third parties in exchange for value as a “sale”, even if no money changes hands, such as when online identifiers, device IDs, and other personal information is shared with third party businesses to further their own commercial purposes such as generating user profiles about individuals, or targeting or retargeting advertisements.
   We do not sell your personal information for monetary compensation. We may allow certain third parties such as advertising partners to collect your personal information via automated technologies like “cookies” and “web beacons” on our Website or Services, or share your personal information with certain affiliated companies or promotional partners, in exchange for non-monetary consideration such as an enhanced ability to serve you content and advertisements that may be of interest to you.  These disclosures may be considered a "sale" under CCPA, in which case we have sold the following categories of your Personal Information in the preceding twelve (12) months:

   1. First name, last name, your image and/or likeness, e-mail address, phone number, street address, comments, company name and address, title, work experience and skills, username and/or e-mail address in combination with a password or security questions and answers, account numbers or credit/debit card numbers, even without a security code, access code, or password if the account could be accessed without such information

   2. non-personally identifiable information

   3. Internet or other electronic network activity information

   4. Inferences drawn from any of the above information categories.

5. You have the right to opt out of this disclosure of your information and can instruct us to stop the sale of your Personal Information by following the instructions here, Do Not Sell My Personal Information [email protected]  
   If we have actual knowledge that a California resident is younger than 16, we will request opt-in consent before selling their Personal Information.
   Note that we can still share Personal Information with third parties if those transfers aren’t “sales,” such as with our Service Providers.

6. Notice Disclosures. Depending on the circumstances and which Service you use, we have disclosed the following categories of your Personal Information for a “business purpose” (as defined in the CCPA) in the preceding twelve (12) months:

   1. First name, last name, your image and/or likeness, e-mail address, phone number, street address, comments, company name and address, title, work experience and skills, username and/or e-mail address in combination with a password or security questions and answers, account numbers or credit/debit card numbers, even without a security code, access code, or password if the account could be accessed without such information

   3. Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services 

   4. Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services

8. Do Not Track. Some web browsers may let you enable a "do not track" feature that sends signals to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not want your online activities tracked.  This is different than blocking or deleting cookies, as browsers with a "do not track" feature enabled may still accept cookies.  There is currently no industry standard for how companies should respond to "do not track" signals, although one may develop in the future.  We do not respond to "do not track" requests or signals at this time.

Where we are processing Personal Information based on your consent, we generally will retain the information for the period of time necessary to carry out the processing activities to which you consented, subject to your right, under certain circumstances, to have certain of your Personal Information erased (see Section 8, Deleting, Changing & Updating Your Personal Information).
