4. Your California Privacy Rights
As a California resident, you have the following rights under the CCPA/CPRA:
Right to Know
You have the right to request that we disclose what personal information we have collected about you, including the categories and specific pieces of information, the purposes for which it is used, and the categories of third parties with whom it is shared.
Right to Delete
You have the right to request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., completing transactions, detecting security incidents, complying with legal obligations).
Right to Correct
You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing
We do not sell personal information. If this practice changes, we will update this notice and provide a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link on our homepage.
Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information
We do not collect sensitive personal information as defined under CPRA. This right is therefore not currently applicable.
