2. INFORMATION COLLECTED OR RECEIVED

We collect certain personal information about you as necessary to provide services that you request, to fulfill the terms of a contract between you and us, or to comply with our legal obligations. If you refuse to provide this type of personal information, we may not be able to provide services to you.

When you reserve, pay for, or stay in a property through Vacasa.

  • Contact information. When you reserve or stay in a property through Vacasa, we may collect information such as your first and last name, contact phone number, email address, and other digital contact information. We may also collect names and contact information that you provide about other renters or guests.
  • Payment information. When you make a purchase, we collect your payment information, such as information from your credit card, debit card, or check, and your billing address, to allow us to process payments.
  • Identity information. To prevent fraud, to comply with the requirements of applicable law, or to meet the requirements of a hotel, resort or community association, we may collect proof of identity or proof of age, such as a government-issued driver’s license, passport, or other identity information in connection with your stay.
  • Other information. We may collect information about your automobile(s) and license plate number(s) in connection with your stay at a property that requires this information for parking permits. We may also collect information about your age and the ages of other guests in connection with your stay at a property that imposes a minimum renter age or requires this information for check-in. We may collect additional personal information in connection with your stay to comply with the requirements of applicable law, or to meet the requirements of a hotel, resort or community association.

When we provide rental management or marketing services.

  • Contact information. When we contract with you to provide rental management or marketing services for your property, we may collect information such as your first and last name; the address of your property; your mailing address, contact phone numbers, email addresses, and other digital contact information; and information concerning any entity you own or manage that is an owner of the property. We may also collect names and contact information of any other owners of the property, owners of an entity that owns the property, or guests or family members who use or stay at the property.

  • We may collect certain information about you from third parties. Each third party that collects or processes your information does so subject to its own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of websites that you visit. Vacasa does not control or oversee the manner in which third parties collect, use, or disclose your information.
  • Information provided in connection with a booking or stay. If you use a third party to book a stay in a property for which Vacasa provides rental management or marketing services, the third party may send us personal information relating to your stay that you provided to the third party, such as your name, contact information, payment method, the names of other renters or guests, reservation dates, and identity information. We may collect information about you from your friends or family members, for example if a friend or family member includes you as part of their reservation. Third parties who provide services to you in connection with your stay, such as a utility, contractor, service provider, tour operator, concierge, resort or community association, or government official, may send us information about the services you used if permitted or required to do so by applicable law. The type of information we receive varies depending on the type of service that was provided. To the extent allowed by applicable law, we may obtain police or background check information or potential fraud alerts from third-party providers of identity verification, criminal background check, or money laundering prevention services.
  • Information obtained in connection with rental management services. When we agree to provide rental management or marketing services for you, a third party such as a utility provider, government entity, former or current property manager or resort or community association may provide us information such as your name, contact information, property address, property rental history, utility account numbers and history, sales or lodging tax license number and remittance history, or local rental permit numbers.
  • Other information we obtain from third parties. We may obtain information from business partners about your use of the Services or services provided by third parties. Such information may include your travel preferences and history, products or services you like, or reviews you submit. We may obtain your name and mailing address or other contact information from third parties such as government agencies, direct mailing service providers, or vendors who compile information from public records.

We automatically collect certain information about you when you visit a Vacasa website, use a Vacasa application, or communicate with Vacasa.

  • Information about your site visits. When you visit a Vacasa website, we collect information about your activity on the site. We may track the date and time you accessed the site, the pages you visit and how long you viewed them, your searches for properties, your booking activity (including started, attempted, and abandoned bookings), whether you have followed links to other websites, and your other interactions with the site.

4. HOW WE SHARE OR DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION

With third parties in order to fulfill our contractual obligations and/or provide Services.

  • We share information about you to provide Services that you request or to fulfill the terms of a contract between you and us. We need to share this information to adequately perform the terms of the contract between us and you.
  • We may share information with our local service providers, such as maintenance technicians, contractors, and housekeepers, to allow us to provide services you request and that we are contractually obligated to provide. We might also authorize our local service providers to collect information on our behalf. If you are staying in a property reserved through Vacasa, this information may include your full name, the names of other guests, and your telephone number or email address. If we provide you with rental management services or rental marketing services, this information may include your full name and the names of any other owners or contacts you have designated, your telephone number, your email address, the address of the property we are managing or marketing, and your mailing address.
  • We might also share your contact information with property owners and service providers to allow them to respond directly to your reviews and questions. We may share your information with third parties who provide services to us in connection with a booking. These third parties may provide services related to payment processing; access to property; fraud prevention, identity verification, and risk assessment; and anti-money laundering compliance. These providers’ access to your information is limited to the information they reasonably require to perform specific tasks on our behalf, and they are contractually bound to use it only for purposes for which it is disclosed.
  • Service providers may be located inside or outside of Europe. In particular, we may use service providers located in Europe, North America, and South America.
  • Some resorts, community associations, government entities, or other third parties may require us to provide guest information in connection with a specific reservation for a property under their control or jurisdiction. We share information with these third parties to the extent it is legally required or that those parties require us to do so as a condition of the rental. This information may include your full name and age, the names and ages of other guests, your telephone number, your address, your government-issued identification (such as a driver’s license or passport number), and vehicle information such as make, model, and license plate number. In some jurisdictions we are required to disclose guests’ full names, contact information, and transaction information related to a rental stay to the owner of the property.
  • We provide your information to third parties at your direction or request. For example, we will provide your information to a third party if you ask us to do so to facilitate the resolution of a dispute.

With third parties in order to offer additional services.

  • We may share information about you with local third-party business partners who may offer additional services in connection with a property you have booked. For example, we may provide your name and email address to a company that offers concierge services for the property you have booked.

With a subsidiary or affiliated company.

  • As allowed by applicable law, we may share your information with a Vacasa subsidiary or other affiliated company under common ownership or control. Unless the subsidiary or affiliated party adheres to its own privacy policy (which will be at least as protective as the terms of this Privacy Policy), the terms of this Privacy Policy will apply to such information sharing.
  • If you book a stay in a state or country other than your state or country of residence, or if you contract with us for us to provide rental management services in a state or country other than your state or country of residence, your information will be shared with the Vacasa entity that manages the property in that state or country. Regardless of your state or country of residence, your information may be shared with Vacasa LLC, which provides technical, business, administrative, and customer support services to its subsidiaries and affiliates. This data sharing is necessary to perform the terms of the agreement between us and you and is further based on our legitimate interests in providing Services globally.

In connection with a sale, merger, or change of control.

  • We may share information in connection with the sale or all or part of our business, a merger, a change of control, or a reorganization, or in contemplation of any of these events (for example, as part of the due diligence process). Any entity that buys us or any part of our business, or any successor entity following a merger, change of control, or reorganization, will have the right to use your personal information, but only as permitted in this Privacy Policy unless you agree otherwise.

To comply with the law, respond to legal requests, resolve disputes, prevent harm to persons or property, and protect our rights.

  • We may disclose your information, including your personal information, to a court, law enforcement agency, government agency, or other authorized third party in response to a court order, subpoena, warrant, or other legal process or legal requirement, or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) investigate, prevent, or take action regarding alleged, suspected, or known illegal activities or any activity that may expose us, you, or any third party on whose behalf we act to liability; (2) comply with our legal obligations; (3) comply with legal process and to investigate, respond to, or defend ourselves against any claims or allegations asserted against us; (4) comply with or respond to an audit conducted by a government agency; (5) enforce our Terms of Service or the terms of any agreement between us and you; (6) prevent or mitigate harm to persons or property; or (7) exercise or protect our rights, the rights of our employees, the rights of third parties on whose behalf we act (such as the owners of properties we manage or market), or the rights of the public.
  • We may attempt to notify you about a legal request or demand for your personal data, where we reasonably believe that notification is appropriate, except where (a) disclosure is prohibited by applicable law or by the terms of the legal process or court order we receive, (b) where the request is an emergency, or (c) we believe providing notice would be futile, would create or increase a risk of harm to persons or property, or would create or increase a risk, or prevent the detection of fraud. We may dispute legal demands in instances where we believe a request is overbroad or lacks proper authority. However, we do not undertake to provide notice of every request or challenge any legal demand.

With vendors that perform services on our behalf.

  • We may share your information with vendors or other third parties that provide us with services or software. For example, we may provide your contact information to operators of communication or marketing platforms so that we may use their platform software to communicate with you. We might share information with a business partner who is running a joint promotion with us or who provides a product or service in partnership with us. We may disclose information to our outside auditors in connection with their auditing services.

With social media platforms and advertising publishers.

  • Where permitted by applicable law, we may use certain personal information about you, such as your email address, to hash and share it with advertising publishers such as Facebook or Google to generate leads or otherwise promote our Services. We carry out these activities based on our legitimate interest in conducting marketing activities to offer you services that may be of interest to you. You may ask us to cease using your email address for these marketing activities by submitting a request through our Data Request Form, if applicable, or via privacy@vacasa.com.

To obtain government permits and to collect and remit taxes.

  • We may share identifying information regarding your property with a government entity or agency in connection with applying for, obtaining, maintaining, or renewing a required license or permit if required in connection with our provision of rental management services. Such information may include your full name and the full name of all owners, your contact information, the address of the property, your tax identification number, and information relating to rental activity.
  • In jurisdictions that impose lodging, hotel, occupancy, sales, or other types of taxes on transient or rental occupancy of property, and where an agreement permits us to collect and remit such taxes on behalf of an owner, we may disclose information to government agencies in connection with the collection and remission of taxes. The information we disclose may include your name and contact information, the property address, the dates of stay and transaction amounts, amount of tax collected or due, the permit or license number for the property, and the owner’s tax identification number(s).

We may aggregate your information.

  • We may aggregate data about individuals who use the Services, meaning we combine and anonymize this information. We may share this aggregated information with third parties to help describe our business, analyze our marketing efforts, comply with regulations, obtain insights about our business practices, and refine the services we offer, and for other business purposes. When we share aggregated information, we do not share personally identifiable data about individuals.

5. YOUR RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES

Communications from Vacasa or Third Parties.

Transaction-related communications from Vacasa.
You may receive business-related communications from Vacasa relating to a booking you have made or an inquiry about a property. Because these communications are necessary for us to provide you with requested services, you cannot opt out of such communications.

Marketing communications from Vacasa.
You may receive marketing communications from Vacasa as permitted by law. You can register or change your preferences to receive or not receive marketing communications from us by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in the communication you have received or by submitting a request through our Data Request Form, if applicable, or via privacy@vacasa.com. Please allow sufficient time for your preferences to be processed. Even if you opt out of receiving marketing messages, we may still contact you for transactional purposes like confirming or following up on a reservation or home inquiry or asking you to review your stay. If you later opt back into receiving marketing communications from us, we will remove your information from our opt-out databases.

Transaction-related communications from third parties.
You may receive business-related communications from a third party, such as a resort, relating to a booking you have made or an inquiry about a property. To the extent these communications are necessary for us to provide you with requested services, you cannot opt out of such communications.

Marketing communications from third parties.
You may receive marketing communications from third parties with which Vacasa has contracted or with which Vacasa is running a joint promotion. You may opt out of disclosure of your personal information to such third parties by submitting a request through our Data Request Form, if applicable, or via privacy@vacasa.com.

We do not sell your personal information to non-agent third parties. Therefore, there is no ability or need to opt in to or opt out of such sales.

Your rights to access and control your personal information.
In addition to the choices described elsewhere in this document, you may have additional rights concerning the collection, use, and sharing of your data. To the extent that we are legally or otherwise obligated to fulfill one or more of the following requests on the basis of your legal right(s) to cause us to do so, you may exercise any of the rights described in this section by submitting a request through our Data Request Form, if applicable, or via privacy@vacasa.com.

  • Update your personal information. You may ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information about you.
  • Right to access your personal information. In some jurisdictions, you may have the right to obtain a copy of your personal information in our possession. You may also have the rights to request a copy of personal information that you provided to us in machine-readable form, and to request that we transfer this information to another service provider if technically feasible to do so.
  • Right to request deletion of your data. In some jurisdictions, you may have the right to ask us to erase or delete some or all of your personal information. Requests to delete your data are subject to the “data retention and deletion” provisions of this Privacy Policy.
  • Right to object to, withdraw consent to, or limit use of your information. In some jurisdictions, you may have the right to ask us to stop using some or all of your personal information for certain purposes if our processing of your information is based on legitimate interests. In such cases, we will no longer use your personal information for such purposes unless: (i) our use is required to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims or (ii) we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for our use of the information. If our use of your personal information is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time by sending a request stating what consent you are withdrawing. Any withdrawal of consent is prospective only (meaning it does not apply to our use of your data before we receive the withdrawal).
  • In some jurisdictions, you may also have the right to limit the ways we use your personal information, especially if the information is inaccurate or our use of the data is unlawful.

Data retention and deletion.
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to perform the contract between us and you and to comply with legal requirements. The length of time we retain your information depends on type of information we have collected, the purpose for which we have collected it and the laws of the applicable jurisdiction(s) (usually the jurisdiction of your residence, the jurisdiction of the property where you have booked a stay or that we are managing, or both).

In general, we retain your personal data as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, such as obligations to retain and report information for tax, auditing, and regulatory compliance purposes. We may also retain some of your personal information as necessary to meet our legitimate business interests, such as to enhance our ability to detect fraud or to assert or defend against an actual or potential legal claim by you or a third party.

If you share information with others in connection with your use of the Services, such as by writing a review or engaging directly with a third party, your information may continue to be visible to the public or to the third party even after we delete it.

Even after we delete your information, portions of your data may remain in aggregated, anonymized, or tokenized form, but are not associated with personal identifiers. In addition, because we regularly back up our systems, portions of your personal information may continue to reside in backup copies for a period of time after it is deleted from our main systems. If you use our mobile application for Vacasa guests or Vacasa homeowners and you delete your user account within the application, we will retain certain account-related reservation and transaction information as needed to comply with any applicable legal requirements, or to meet our legitimate business interests (including to assist or defend against an actual or potential legal claim by you or a third party).

Lawful bases to collect, use, and share your personal information.
We will only collect, use, and share your personal information where we have a lawful basis to do so. Lawful bases include (i) contract (if processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you), (ii) consent (where you have given consent), (iii) legitimate interests or (iv) as otherwise may be allowed by applicable law and consistent with this Privacy Policy.

6. YOUR PRIVACY AND OUR GLOBAL OPERATIONS

Data controller.
The Vacasa company that is responsible for your information under this Privacy Policy is the “data controller.”

If you reside outside of Europe, the data controller for purposes of your data is Vacasa LLC.

If you reside in Europe, the data controller is Vacasa Europe AG, except (i) when you book a stay at a property located outside of Europe or (ii) in connection with our provision of rental management or marketing services for you of a property located outside of Europe, in which case the data controller is Vacasa LLC.

Cross-border data transfers.
Vacasa operates in multiple jurisdictions. We process data both inside and outside the United States and Europe, and we may share your data among affiliated companies or with service providers based in countries other than your country of residence or the country in which Services are provided to you. Countries in which we process data may have laws that differ from the laws in your country of residence.

When you submit personal data directly to Vacasa LLC or its non-European subsidiaries or affiliates, that data may be transferred to, processed, and stored in the United States. If you are located in Europe, personal data you transmit to a European subsidiary or affiliate of Vacasa LLC (or to a third party located in Europe) may be transferred to Vacasa LLC subject to applicable rules concerning adequate levels of data protection.

Safeguards in place to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
Information collected within Europe may be transferred, processed, or stored outside Europe as described in this Privacy Policy. If we transfer, process, or store personal information from Europe to or in a country outside Europe, we ensure that safeguards are in place to ensure an adequate level of data protection. These safeguards may be based on a determination by the European Commission or Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner that a country outside Europe has an adequate level of data protection, or on the use of model contract clauses approved by European Union or Swiss data protection authorities.

Additional privacy rights
Depending on the laws of the country or state in which you reside, you may have additional rights concerning our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information, as further described at the end of this Privacy Policy.

Last Updated: June 19, 2024

Like almost all commercial websites, Vacasa’s website uses cookies to improve the functionality of our website and streamline your user experience. You may delete and block all cookies from this site, but parts of the site may not work correctly (or at all). Even if you are only browsing the site, certain information about your visit may be automatically collected. This information includes information about the platform and operating system you are using, your browser type and version, computer and connection information, and what time you accessed the site. Unless you opt out, this information may be collected every time you access Vacasa’s website.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that is placed in your browser to allow a website to recognize your browser or device. Cookies are used for many purposes, such as enabling certain site functionality, storing user preferences, permitting analytics, and enabling ad delivery. Cookies can help us understand how visitors use our site, help you navigate between pages efficiently, help remember your preferences for later visits, and generally improve your browsing experience. Cookies can also help ensure that marketing you see online is relevant to you and your interests.

The length of time a cookie will stay on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “session” or “persistent” cookie. A session cookie will only remain on your device until you close your browser. A persistent cookie will remain until it expires or is deleted. Each persistent cookie has an expiration date; some cookies may expire after a few minutes while others may not expire for several years.

What types of cookies does Vacasa use?

When you visit and use a Vacasa website, Vacasa or a third party may place a number of cookies in your browser. Some cookies will only be used if you use certain features or select certain preferences, and some cookies will always be used. Cookies placed by the website you’re visiting (in this case, a Vacasa site) are sometimes called “first-party cookies,” while cookies placed by other companies are sometimes called “third-party cookies.”

In general, there are four different types of cookies, which are explained below. Vacasa routinely uses all four types of cookies.

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
  • Performance Cookies. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
  • Functional Cookies. These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
  • Targeting Cookies.  These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

How can you manage and delete cookies?

Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can change the settings in your browser to delete cookies that have already been set and to not accept new cookies. Note that if you set your browser to disable cookies, you may not be able to access certain parts of the Vacasa sites and some services we offer may not work properly or at all.

Do you use any other user tracking technologies?

Vacasa may use other technology that is standard to the Internet, such as pixel tags, web beacons, and other similar technologies, to track visitors to our sites.

Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) and Do Not Track.

You may choose to use a tool to communicate your choices through an opt-out preference signal, such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) on your browser or device, if available. Vacasa honors GPC signals as a request to opt-out of the sharing or sale of personal information for purposes of targeted advertising on our website.

13. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY NOTICE

Pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, (collectively referred to herein as the “CCPA/CPRA”), this notice provides information regarding the personal information we collect about California residents and the rights afforded to such individuals under the CCPA/CPRA.

As is described in this Privacy Policy, we collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household—otherwise known as “personal information.”

Under the CCPA/CPRA, personal information does not include certain types of publicly available information from government records, de-identified or aggregated consumer information that is appropriately anonymized, or certain information excluded from the CCPA/CPRA’s scope, such as health or medical information covered by HIPAA and personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the FCRA and GLBA.

We collect personal information, some of which may be “sensitive personal information” under the CCPA/CPRA, from residents of California, such as guests who stay in Vacasa homes, the owners of such homes, and individuals interested in our property management and real estate services. Over the past 12 months, we collected the categories of personal information that are described in the Information Collected or Received section above, including:

  • Payment information
  • Identity information
  • Contact information
  • Bank account and tax information
  • Information provided during communications with Vacasa
  • Information provided in connection with a booking or stay
  • Information obtained in connection with rental management services
  • Information about your site visits
  • Device and browser information
  • Location information
  • Other information as required by applicable law

We collect and use such information for the purposes described in the How We Use Your Information section above, including:

  • To fulfill the terms of a contract between you and us
  • To respond to your inquiries or requests
  • To communicate with you about reservations and stays
  • To fulfill contractual or legal requirements relating to your request or the Services you are using
  • To provide customer service
  • To provide rental management or similar services
  • To detect and prevent fraud or illegal activity
  • To make or receive payments from you
  • To optimize, customize and improve our services and your user experience
  • To conduct, measure, and improve our advertising and marketing
  • To comply with our legal and contractual obligations and for security and investigation purposes

For purposes of the CCPA/CPRA, the following activities may constitute a “sale” in some instances:

  • Sharing information about you with local third-party business partners who may offer additional services in connection with a property you have booked. For example, we may provide your name and email address to a company that offers concierge services for the property you have booked.
  • Using certain personal information about you, such as your email address, to hash and share it with advertising publishers such as Facebook or Google to generate leads or otherwise promote our Services. We carry out these activities based on our legitimate interest in conducting marketing activities to offer you services that may be of interest to you.

We do not otherwise “sell” personal information.

Exercising Your California Privacy Rights

The CCPA/CPRA and other California law provide residents of California with the rights listed below. If you are a California resident, you may exercise your rights by submitting a verifiable consumer request through our Data Request Form or by calling us at 1-888-726-0705.

  • Right to Access: You have the right to know certain information about the data we have collected about you, including:

    • The business or commercial purpose(s) for collecting personal information about you;
    • The categories of personal information about you which we shared and/or sold;
    • The categories of third parties we have shared or sold personal information about you to; and
    • The specific pieces of personal information about you that we have collected.
  • Right to Delete: You have the right to request that we delete certain personal information about you that we have collected from you (and request that we direct applicable service providers to do the same). Where an exception applies, we may not fulfill your request for deletion.
  • Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt out of any future “sale” or “sharing” of personal information about you. You may do so by submitting a request through our Data Request Form.
  • Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information: You have the right to limit the processing of “sensitive personal information” to purposes permitted under the CCPA/CPRA, such as performing services you have requested, security, quality control, as authorized by law, and disclosures to vendors in support of the permitted purposes. This right only applies to “sensitive personal information” collected or processed by us for the purpose inferring characteristics about you. You may do so by submitting a request through our Data Request Form.
  • Other Rights: If you live in California and have an established business relationship with us, you are entitled to ask us for a notice describing what categories of personal customer information Vacasa shares with third parties or corporate affiliates for those third parties’ or corporate affiliates' direct marketing purposes. That notice will identify the categories of information shared and will include a list of the third parties and affiliates with which it was shared, along with their names and addresses. If you are a California resident and would like a copy of this notice, please submit your request through our Data Request Form.

Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are (a) the person about whom we collected personal information or (b) an authorized representative of such person.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

To the extent that we successfully verify your identity and determine that we will fulfill part or all of your request, we will complete the request within 45 days of receiving it, unless we require an extension, in which case we will inform you why we need more time and how much time we need.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights.

Changes to this Notice

We reserve the right to amend this notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this notice, we will post the updated notice on this page and update the notice’s effective date.

Exercising Your Privacy Rights of State Privacy Laws

Depending on your state of residence, you may request to exercise your rights, as applicable, by submitting a verifiable consumer request through our Data Request Form or by calling us at 1-888-726-0705.

Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. We need certain types of information so that we can provide the Services to you. If you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use the Services.
