Definition of Personal Information
The CCPA defines "personal information" as any information that can be associated with or linked to a particular California resident or household.

We respect your right to privacy, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA. This means that we will not deny you goods or services, charge you different prices or rates, provide a different level or quality of goods or services, or suggest that you will receive different treatment based on your exercise of privacy rights. However, we may offer different prices or provide different levels or quality of goods or services if the difference is reasonably related to the value we receive from your personal information.
If you are submitting a request on behalf of a California resident, please use the designated methods mentioned earlier. We may require additional information to verify your authority to act on behalf of the resident.
From time to time, we may offer financial incentives or price differences in exchange for personal information. For example, subscribing to our mailing list may provide you with a discount. If you choose to participate, you opt in to receiving the financial incentive or price difference and joining our mailing list. You have the right to withdraw from the incentive at any time without reducing the value of any previous incentives received. To withdraw from receiving the financial incentive, you can email us at [email protected]
The financial incentive or price difference is reasonably related to the value of your personal information. We consider factors such as the anticipated revenue generated, the expenses incurred for collecting and using the information, and the expenses related to offering the incentive. The value of your personal information is reflected in the value of the incentive itself.
We strive to protect the privacy and personal information of California residents and appreciate your understanding and cooperation. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
