Additional Privacy Information for California Residents

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), we are required to provide California residents with specific information about our personal information practices. The CCPA defines the term “personal information” broadly, and includes any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident or household. Please note that the CCPA does not apply to certain types of information, and your data may be covered by additional privacy notices based on your relationship with us.

Categories of Personal Information that We Collect, Disclose, and Sell

We do not sell any of your data for monetary compensation.

We currently do not share your information with non-affiliated third parties for their own marketing purpose.

We collect and disclose certain personal information in the course of our business as described above.  Please refer to the Personal Information and Basis of Processing section above for a description of how we collect and disclose personal information and the personal information that we collect.

In addition to collecting business related information (including but not limited to information such as names, business contact information and for investors, employees and certain business contacts, dates of birth, government identifiers, and/or financial information) we also collect the following:

We do not typically associate this information with a particular user’s account and we do not seek to reidentify the user through this information.
  • Audio & Video Information: If you call us, we may record your conversation for quality assurance, training, legal compliance, and customer service purposes. Certain of our premises are monitored by closed circuit television. Absent an incident, we do not usually obtain a copy of such footage, but, rather, it would be the property of the building manager.

We disclose each of the above categories of information, for a business purpose as defined by the CCPA. For example, we may share your contact information with entities that assist us in account management, background check organizations, and, where permitted by law, with entities to assist us in marketing. We also share your information with entities that assist us in providing support and services, such as hosting our websites, applications, and other online services, to respond to inquiries and for trouble-shooting.

We are required to provide you with a notice about our information collection practices at or before the point of collection; to this end, there may be circumstances in which we provide an additional notice to you. California residents have the right to opt-out of our sale of their personal information. Subject to certain exceptions, California residents have the right to (at no charge) request that we (1) delete the personal information that we hold about them, subject to certain exceptions and (2)  send a copy of the specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about them in the prior 12 months and to have this delivered, free of charge, either (a) by mail or (b) electronically in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily useable and transferrable format.
