Details about how we use your information and for what purposes can be found on our Privacy Policy. Because of CCPA's broad definition of data selling, in some instances, our sharing of data may be considered a sell. You may request us to stop sharing or selling your personal information and we will honour your request for at least 12 months before asking you to opt back in. You have the right to exercise this right personally or through an authorized agent, who will have to provide the necessary evidence to confirm his/her agent status.
