Effective Date: January 1, 2023.

These Additional California Privacy Disclosures (the “CA Disclosures”) supplement the information contained in our Privacy Policy and apply solely to individual residents of the State of California (“consumers” or “you”).

These CA Disclosures provide additional information about how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise process personal information of individual residents of the State of California, either online or offline, within the scope of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 and its subsequent developments such as the CPRA (“CCPA”). Unless otherwise expressly stated, all terms in these CA Disclosures have the same meaning as defined in our Privacy Policy or as otherwise defined in the CCPA.

Personal Information Disclosures

When we use the term “personal information” in these CA Disclosures, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.

For the purposes of these CA Disclosures, personal information does not include:

• Publicly available information from government records.
• Deidentified, aggregated or anonymized data (not capable of being associated with or linked to you).
• Information relating to our job applicants, employees, contractors and other personnel of Qreatiq, which is not governed by these CA Disclosures.
• Certain information that we process solely on behalf of our business customers as a “service provider,” which includes information relating to respondents that fill out Qreatiq sent to them by our customers – please refer to CCPA Notice – Qreatiq as a Service Provider section here.
• Information excluded from the CCPA’s scope, such as: (i) Health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data; (ii) Information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act of 1994.

Disclosure of Personal Information

In the last 12 months, we have not sold personal information about you, but we have disclosed all of the categories of personal information we collect, explained in the table above, to our affiliate and to third parties for a business purpose.

Note about “Sales”: We do not “sell” personal information as most people would typically understand that term. However, we do allow certain third-party partners and providers to collect information about consumers directly through our services for purposes of analyzing and optimizing our services and ads, providing content and ads that are more relevant, measuring statistics and the success of ad campaigns, and detecting and reporting fraud. To the extent this practice is interpreted to constitute a “sale” under the CCPA, please see our Cookie Policy for more information including how you may be able to exercise your rights to opt-out of cookies, analytics and personalized advertising.

Recipients of Personal Information

As described in our Privacy Policy, we share personal information with our affiliate and with a variety of third parties for business purposes. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for further information.

However, please note that if the exercise of the rights described above limits our ability to process personal information (such as in the case of a deletion request), we may no longer be able to provide you our products or services or engage with you in the same manner.

How to Exercise Your California Privacy Rights

To exercise your right to know and/or right to deletion, please submit a request by: (i) our Contact Form indicating the title “California Rights Request”; or (ii) filling out our California Resident Rights Request Form .

We will need to verify your identity before processing your request.

Although we try to limit the personal information collected in connection with a request to exercise the right to know and/or the right to deletion to that personal, certain requests may require us to obtain additional personal information from you. In certain circumstances, we may decline a request to exercise the right to know and/or right to deletion, particularly where we are unable to verify your identity.

To Exercise Your Right to Opt Out of Personal Information Sales

As noted above, we do not “sell” personal information as most people would typically understand that term. However, we do allow certain third-party partners and providers to collect information about consumers directly through our services for purposes of analyzing and optimizing our services and ads, providing content and ads that are more relevant, measuring statistics and the success of ad campaigns, and detecting and reporting fraud.
