ADDITIONAL CALIFORNIA PRIVACY DISCLOSURES
Effective Date: 2/2/2022
Last Revised on: 11/18/2021
Scope of Disclosures
These Additional California Privacy Disclosures (the “CA Disclosures”) supplement the information contained in our Online Privacy Statement and apply solely to individual residents of the State of California (“consumers” or “you”).
These CA Disclosures describe 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 (“CCPA”).
Unless otherwise expressly stated, all terms in these CA Disclosures have the same meaning as defined in our Online Privacy Statement 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 information that is maintained in a form that is not reasonably capable of being associated with or linked to you.
- Information excluded from the CCPA’s scope, such as information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”). For example, these CA Disclosures do not apply to information that we collect about individuals in connection with, or who otherwise seek, apply for, or obtain, our financial products and services for personal, family, or household purposes, which is subject to our notice.
- Information relating to job applicants, employees, contractors, and other of our personnel.
