If you would like to review and request any changes to your personal information on file with us, you may direct the request to us in writing at the address or email address stated below (see Contact Information, below).

Your State Privacy Rights

Your California Privacy Rights
While we do not currently do business in California, and it is not our practice to disclose your personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes, California Civil Code Section § 1798.83 may permit certain users of our Website or mobile application who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosures, if any, of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

California law may require us to inform you how we respond to do-not-track (DNT) signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. Because there is no industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals or other such mechanisms, we don’t respond to them at this time.
Nevada Consumers
Nevada law gives Nevada consumers the right to request that a company that operates a website for commercial purposes not sell their personal information for monetary consideration to another party for the other party to license or sell the information to additional parties. This right may apply even if personal information is not currently being sold.
We do not sell personal information. However, if you are a Nevada consumer who wishes to exercise a right to request us not to sell your personal information, please direct your request to the email address identified below (see Contact Information, below). We reserve the right to take reasonable measures to verify the authenticity of the request and the identity of the consumer making the request.

If you would like to submit a request to exercise one of these rights, you may do so by an email to the email address stated in the Contact Information section below or by submitting a request through your online account with us.
We reserve the right to deny the request if permitted by applicable law, such as if we cannot verify your identity, or to charge a reasonable fee if permitted by applicable law.
