The chart below shows the categories of personal information we may collect; examples of personal information in each category; types of sources from which each category of personal information is collected; the business purposes for which each category of personal information is collected; and the types of Vendors or Third parties with whom that category of personal information is shared. As this chart shows, we may [share personal information to Third Parties or] disclose certain personal information to Vendors for business purposes.

Sensitive Personal Information We Collect and Disclose

We intend to retain each category of personal information described above only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or a related and compatible purpose consistent with the average person’s expectation, and to comply with applicable laws and regulations. We consider the following criteria when determining how long to retain personal information: why we collected the personal information; the nature of the personal information; the sensitivity of the personal information; our legal obligations related to the personal information, and risks associated with retaining the personal information.

Subject to certain limitations, if you are a California resident, you have the right to submit requests related to the personal information we have collected about you. You may make such a request twice in a 12- month span. Please note, there are circumstances when we may not be able to comply with your request. For example, we may not be able to verify your request, or we may find that providing a full response conflicts with other legal obligations or regulatory requirements. We will notify you if this is the case.
