If and when a standard is established, we may revise our policy on responding to these signals.

SPECIAL NOTE TO INTERNATIONAL USERS

The Website is hosted in the United States and is intended for and directed to users in the United States and Canada. If you are a User accessing the Website from the European Union, Asia, or any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure, that differ from United States laws, please be advised that through your continued use of the Website, which is governed by U.S. law, this notice, and our Terms of Use, you are transferring your personal information to the United States and you consent to that transfer.

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

A California resident who has provided personal information to a business with whom he has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes (“California customer”) is entitled to request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business has made such disclosure of personal information, upon receipt of a request by a California customer, the business is required to provide a list of all third parties to whom the personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information that were disclosed.

However, under the law, a business is not required to provide the above-described lists if the business adopts and discloses to the public (in its Privacy Policy) a policy of not disclosing customer’s personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless the business gives users a mechanism to opt-out of having their personal information disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Rather, the business may comply with the law by notifying the customer of his or her right to prevent disclosure of personal information and providing a cost-free means to exercise the right.

We have opted for this alternative approach. As stated in our Privacy Policy, we give customers a mechanism to opt-out of having their personal information disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of third parties that received your personal information for marketing purposes. If you wish to opt-out of sharing your Personal Information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes, please click here and mark your request “Re: Opt-out.”
