Categories of Personal Information Collected.
Below we describe categories of personal information we collect using the CCPA's category names. These are further detailed in the "Information We Collect" section of our Privacy Policy.
We may collect or receive (and may have collected or received during the 12-month period prior to the Last Updated date of this Notice) the following categories of personal information:
- Identifiers, such as your profile name, email address, device identifiers or IP address.
- Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law, such as your age, gender, and military status.
- Internet or other electronic network activity information, such as information from cookies and your interactions with the Services.
- Commercial information, such as records of products purchased.
- Geolocation data, such as the street address you provide to us in your account settings and/or your non-precise location as derived from your IP address.
- Audio, electronic, and visual information, such as in-store CCTV recordings or customer service call recordings.
- Inferences drawn from other personal information, such as your interests and preferences based on your usage of the Services and data obtained from our advertising partners.
- Other information you share.
Please note that not all categories of personal information will be collected or received from every California consumer that uses the Services.
Purposes for Processing Personal Information.
As further described in the “How We Use Information” section of our Privacy Policy, we use the personal information we collect from you to:
- Provide the Services;
- Communicate with you;
- Understand your use of and make improvements to our Services and develop new services;
- Allow you to communicate with others through the Services;
- Personalize and advertise the Services;
- Comply with law, prevent and investigate fraud and other illegal activities, and for other safety and security purposes;
We may process your personal information for other purposes with your consent.
“Sale” and “Sharing” of Personal Information for Targeted Advertising.
While we do not sell your information in exchange for money, we may provide information about your device and online browsing activities or hashed contact information to third-party advertising providers for tailored advertising purposes, so that we can provide you with more relevant and tailored ads regarding our Services, and use analytics partners to assist us in analyzing the use of our Services and our user base. The disclosure of your information to these third parties to assist us in providing these services may be considered a “sale” of personal information or the “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising purposes.
We may sell or share for targeted advertising purposes (and may have sold or shared during the 12-month period prior to the Last Updated date of this Notice) the following categories of personal information to third-party marketing partners and advertising partners:
- Identifiers;
- Commercial information;
- Internet and electronic network activity information; and
- Geolocation data.
If you would like to opt out of our targeted advertising activities, please click the "Your Privacy Choices" URL in the footer of our website. Please note that you will need to exercise your right separately on each browser and device you use to access the Services. Please note that we do not knowingly sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age without legally-required affirmative authorization.
You can also visit our Services via a browser with a recognized opt-out preference signal enabled, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC). If you use a preference signal, you may need to renew your preferences if you visit the Services with another device or browser, or if you clear your cookies.
Processing of Sensitive Personal Information.
In certain circumstances, the CCPA allows consumers to request that businesses limit their use of certain sensitive personal information. However, we do not engage in uses of sensitive information for which there is a right to limit under the CCPA.
Other CCPA Rights and Information.
Please see the “Your Rights and Choices” section of the Privacy Policy for information about the additional rights you have with respect to your personal information under California law and how to exercise them. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
Data Retention.
We will retain the personal information we collect about you for as long as necessary to carry out the purposes set forth in this Notice or any other notice provided at the time of data collection, but no longer than as required or permitted under applicable law or internal Tecovas policy, as described in the “Security and Retention” section of our Privacy Policy.
“Shine the Light” Disclosure.
California’s “Shine the Light” law gives California residents the right under certain circumstances to request information about the third parties to which we share certain categories of “personal information” (as defined in the Shine the Light law) for their direct marketing purposes. A business is not required to provide this information where it adopts and discloses, in its privacy policy, a policy of not disclosing “personal information” to third parties for their “direct marketing purposes” 1) unless the resident first affirmatively agrees or 2) if the resident has exercised an option that prevents that information from being disclosed. We have such a policy; we do not share your “personal information” with third parties for their own “direct marketing purposes” without your affirmative agreement. In addition, any processing that could be in scope can be opted out of as described in the “Sale and Sharing of Personal Information for Targeted Advertising” above
Financial Incentive Programs.
The Services may offer opportunities to receive certain services or benefits such as discounts, which may require the provision of personal information. Such opportunities could be considered a financial incentive under applicable law (each, an “Incentive”).
When you participate in an Incentive, you agree to the terms of that Incentive and may revoke your participation depending on the Incentive (e.g., by opting out of emails). To the extent that you request the deletion of your personal information, you may not be able to continue to participate in certain Incentives, because we require certain personal information to provide the Incentive. To the extent we can determine the value of your information, we consider the value of providing you with a more personalized experience and offers as well as the expenses we incur in providing Incentive that are reasonably related to the costs associated with offering the Incentives.
