13. U.S. state law requirements

Some U.S. state privacy laws require specific disclosures.

This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we handle your information:

We explain the categories of information we collect and the sources of that information in Section 1 hereof.

We explain the purposes for which we collect and use information in Section 2.

We explain when we may disclose information in Section 3. We do not sell your personal information. We also do not “share” your personal information as that term is defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

We explain how we retain information in Section 5.

U.S. state privacy laws also provide the right to request information about how we collect, use, and disclose your information. And they give you the right to access your information, sometimes in a portable format; correct your information; and to request that we delete that information. Many of these laws also provide the right to opt out of certain forms of profiling and targeted advertising. They also provide the right to not be discriminated against for exercising these privacy rights. Additionally, the CCPA treats certain kinds of information, like health data, as sensitive; we do not collect this type of data.

The Washington My Health My Data Act and Nevada Senate Bill 370 provide specific rights in addition to those rights above, that apply to health information. We do not collect this type of information.

We describe the choices you have to manage your privacy and data Section 6 and Section 8. If you have questions or requests related to your rights under U.S. state privacy laws, you (or your authorized agent) can also contact us. And if you disagree with the decision on your request, you can ask us to reconsider it by responding to our email.
