​
Tracking Technologies
When you visit or access our Services we use (and authorize 3rd parties to use) pixels, cookies, events, and other technologies (collectively, "Tracking Technologies"). Those allow us to automatically collect information about you, your device, and your online behavior, in order to enhance your navigation in our Services, improve our Services’ performance, perform analytics and customize your experience. We store Tracking Technologies when you visit or access our Services. These are called "First Party Tracking Technologies". In addition, Tracking Technologies are stored by other third parties (for example our analytics service providers, business partners, and advertisers) – these are called "Third Party Tracking Technologies". Both types of Tracking Technologies may be stored either for the duration of your visit to our Services or for repeat visits.
We use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about the use of our Service. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit our site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve our Services. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our site and plants a cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique User the next time you visit. The cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google and we do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is detailed on the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser as described below.

User Rights under the CCPA
The CCPA provides consumers with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.
Access to Personal Information
You may request, up to two times each year, that we disclose to you the categories and specific pieces of Personal Information that we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which your Personal Information is collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting your Personal Information, the categories of Personal Information that we disclosed for a business purpose, any categories of Personal Information about you that we sold, the categories of third-parties with whom we have shared your Personal Information, and the business or commercial purpose for selling your Personal Information, if applicable.
Deletion Requests
You have the right to request that we delete any Personal Information collected from you and retained, unless an exception applies.
Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers, subcontractors, and consultants to delete) your Personal Information, unless an exception applies.
Right to Opt-Out of the Sale of Personal Information
We do not "sell" personal information about our Users as most people would typically understand this term. However, we do allow certain third-party partners to collect pseudonymized information about consumers through our Services for purposes of serving ads and related marketing materials that are relevant (including related activities such as campaign measurement and analytics, fraud detection and reporting). In this context, we "sell" resettable advertising identifiers and IP addresses with our advertising partners. These allows developers and marketers to track activity for advertising purposes and are used to enhance the personalization of ads.
You may opt out from the "sale" of your personal information by: (a) using our Opt-Out mechanism available in the app settings or (b) resetting these identifiers from within your device or limit ad tracking for your device as mentioned in the "Tracking Technologies" section of this policy. You may also contact us, by using the contact details provided below.
Exercising Your Rights
You can exercise your rights (such as access and deletion) via our in-app settings.
In addition, to request access to your Personal Information or request deletion of your Personal Information, you can also submit a verifiable consumer request to the contact information below.
Only you or a person authorized to act on your behalf may make a consumer request related to your Personal Information.
The request must:
-
Provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative.
-
Describe your request with sufficient details to allow us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
-
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.
You may only request a copy of your data twice within a 12-month period.
If you have any general questions about the Personal Information that we collect about you how we use it, please contact us at contact information below.
Response Timing and Format
Our goal is to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing within the first 45 days period. We will deliver our written response, by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will cover only the 12-month period preceding the request. If reasonably possible, we will provide your Personal Information in a format that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
In case of rejection, the response we provide will explain the reasons for which we cannot comply with your request.
Please note that these CCPA rights are not absolute and requests are subject to any applicable legal requirements, including legal and ethical reporting or document retention obligations.

-
The authorized agent is a natural person or a business entity registered with the Secretary of State of California; and
-
You sign a written declaration that you authorize the authorized agent to act on your behalf.
If you use an authorized agent to submit a request to exercise your right to know or your right to request deletion, please mail a certified copy of your written declaration authorizing the authorized agent to act on your behalf using the contact information below.
If you provide an authorized agent with power of attorney pursuant to Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465, it may not be necessary to perform these steps and we will respond to any request from such authorized agent in accordance with the CCPA.

Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
-
Deny you goods or services.
-
Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
