We do not knowingly “sell”, “share”, or use for “targeted advertising” the personal information of consumers we know to be less than 18 years of age.
Deidentified Information
We may at times receive, or process personal information to create, deidentified data that can no longer reasonably be used to infer information about, or otherwise be linked to, a particular individual or household. Where we maintain deidentified data, we will maintain and use the data in deidentified form and not attempt to reidentify the data except as required or permitted by law.
Retention of Personal Information
We will only keep your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and processed, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for your personal information, we will consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process it (and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means), and the applicable legal requirements. In some circumstances we may anonymize your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case it is no longer personal information.
Depending on your residency and subject to certain legal limitations and exceptions, you may have certain rights relating to your personal information, such as the rights listed below. Please note, these rights may not apply in your jurisdiction, or may otherwise be limited by applicable law.
