- Annual gross revenue above the adjusted statutory threshold;
- Buying, selling, or sharing personal information of at least 100,000 California consumers or households; or
- Deriving at least 50% of annual revenue from selling or sharing California consumers’ personal information.
The current adjusted annual gross-revenue threshold is $26,625,000.

Where the CCPA applies, qualifying California residents may have rights to:
Know and Access
Request qualifying information concerning personal information we collect, use, sell, or share.

Request correction of inaccurate qualifying personal information.
Delete
Request deletion of qualifying personal information, subject to statutory exceptions.
Opt Out of Sale or Sharing
Direct a covered business not to sell or share qualifying personal information.
Limit Sensitive Personal Information
Limit specified uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information where that statutory right applies.
Non-Discrimination
Not receive unlawful discriminatory treatment for exercising CCPA rights.
16. Sale and Sharing
California gives “sale” and “sharing” specialized definitions.
Depending on the circumstances:
- Providing information to an independent third party for monetary or other valuable consideration may constitute a sale; and
- Disclosure for qualifying cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute sharing.
Certain disclosures are excluded, including qualifying:
- Service-provider disclosures;
- Contractor disclosures;
- Consumer-directed disclosures;
- Affiliate transfers; and
- Business transfers.
Where the CCPA applies and we engage in qualifying sale or sharing, we will provide legally required opt-out methods.

Some browsers transmit legacy “Do Not Track” signals.
Because there is no uniform industry standard for interpreting them, the Website may not respond to legacy Do Not Track signals in a standardized manner.

California generally prohibits intentionally recording a confidential communication without the consent of all parties, subject to statutory exceptions.

We or providers acting on our behalf may record communications for legitimate purposes such as:
- Quality assurance;
