This section applies only to California residents and supplements the information in this Privacy Policy. It describes how we collect, use, sell, share, and retain personal information of California residents, and their rights with respect to that personal information. For purposes of this Notice to California Residents, “personal information” has the meaning given in the California privacy laws, but does not include information exempted from the scope of those laws.

9.1 Personal Information Collected and Purposes of Collection and Use. The categories of personal information we collect, or have collected in the 12 months preceding the “Last Updated” date of this Privacy Policy, and the sources of collection are listed in the section above titled “Collection of Personal Information.” The purposes, including the specific business and commercial purposes, for which we collect and use these categories of personal information are described in our general Privacy Policy under the section titled “Use of Personal Information.”

To the extent we collect sensitive personal information, we only use or disclose it for purposes permitted under California law (e.g., to operate the Site and provide our services, detect security incidents and prevent fraud, and to verify and maintain the quality of the Site).

9.2 How Personal Information is Disclosed, “Sold,” or “Shared.” Each of the categories of personal information listed in the “Collection of Personal Information” section above is disclosed for a business purpose to the parties identified in the section titled “Disclosure of Personal Information.” California law defines a “sale” as disclosing a California resident’s personal information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.
