“Sale” and “Sharing” of Personal Information.
United States data law defines the “sale” of data as “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by the business to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration”. “Sharing” is defined as “sharing, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer‘s personal information by the business to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising.”
As explained in the “How We Disclose Information We Collect” section of our Privacy Policy, we provide personal information to third-party advertising providers for targeted advertising purposes, so that we can provide you with more relevant and tailored ads regarding our services, and use related analytics partners to assist us in analysing the effectiveness of our online advertisements. The disclosure of your personal information to these third parties to assist us in providing these services may be considered a “sale” of personal information under the CCPA, or, the “sharing” of your personal information for purposes of “cross-context behavioural advertising.”
The following chart lists the categories of personal information we have “sold” or “shared” over the last 12 months and the categories of third parties to which we have “sold” or “shared:”

As a United States resident, depending on the state in which you reside, you may also have the right to opt out of “sales” of your information and “sharing/use of your information for targeted advertising.”
If you would like to opt out of our online disclosure such as through cookie and pixel technology of your personal data for purposes that could be considered “sales” for those third parties' own commercial purposes, or “sharing” for purposes of targeted advertising, please click the "My Privacy Choices" link in our website footer and follow the instructions. You can also submit a request to opt out of our offline disclosures of information that are subject to applicable opt out rights by emailing us at
[email protected]. Depending on your U.S. state of residence, you may be permitted to designate an authorised agent to submit such requests on your behalf. If you have a legally-recognised browser-based opt out preference signal turned on via your device browser, we recognise such preference in accordance with applicable law.
Please note that we do not knowingly sell the personal data of minors under 16 years of age without legally-required affirmative authorisation.
“Shine the Light” Disclosure. You can exercise your rights under the California “Shine the Light” law – which gives you the right to opt out of the sharing of certain categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law) with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes – by emailing us at
[email protected].
Retention. We will retain your data as described above in the “Data retention” section of our Privacy Policy.
Notice of Financial Incentives. We may offer opportunities to receive certain benefits, such as discounts, promotion entries, or other similar incentives, which may require the provision of personal data, such as answering surveys or providing additional feedback or information. Such opportunities could be considered a financial incentive under applicable law (each, an “Incentive Program”). Your participation in Incentive Programs is purely voluntary. When you participate in an Incentive Program, you agree to the terms of that Incentive Program, and may revoke your participation depending on the Incentive Program. The monetary value of the reward, discount, or incentive is a reasonable approximation of the monetary value of participation in the Incentive Program.
Notice Concerning Do Not Track. Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that is available in certain web browsers. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our website for third party purposes, which is why we describe a variety of opt-out mechanisms above. However, we do not currently recognise or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals. Learn more about
Do Not Track. Please note that Do Not Track is a different privacy mechanism than the user “preference signal” referenced above, which is a browser-based control that indicates whether you would like to opt out of processing of your information for certain purposes, such as the “sale” of your information or the "sharing” of your information for targeted advertising purposes, under applicable laws.
