Please note that some browsers may not natively support GPC functionality, or, if such functionality is supported by a particular browser, it may not be turned on by default. Our GPC signals do not apply to offline sales and are processed at the browser level, meaning you will need to enable the signal separately for each browser or device you use to ensure that we recognize the signal. Please consult your browser’s settings or your browser’s website for more information on how your browser may support GPC functionality.

We call those laws collectively the “U.S. Privacy Laws.”

The rights in this section apply only to residents of the states included in the U.S. Privacy Laws. The residents of those states have the following rights:

We reserve the right to deny requests in certain circumstances, such as where we have a reasonable belief that the request is fraudulent, where your identity cannot be confirmed, or where we must retain your information to comply with legal obligations. Consumers in some states may also authorize an agent to make data subject requests on their behalf.

Depending on the jurisdiction in which you live, you may have the right to appeal our refusal to take action on your request. You may indicate your intention to appeal in the manner through which your request was originally processed.

We can only respond to your request if it is verifiable. This means we are obligated to take reasonable steps to verify your identity and your right to access, correct, or delete the information you request. Where necessary, we may ask you to provide additional information that will help us do so. We will only use this information in the verification process, and not for any other purpose.

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.

If you are a Nevada resident, contact us here.
