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 Device. For these purposes, "Consumer" means a natural person who is a California resident.

"Device" means any device that can access the Service such as a computer, cell phone, or digital tablet.

The following is a list of categories of personal information which we may collect or may have been collected from California residents within the last twelve (12) months.

Sale of Personal Information of Minors Under 16 Years of Age

We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under the age of 16 through our Service, although certain third-party websites that we link to may do so. These third-party websites have their own terms of use and privacy policies and we encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and instruct their children to never provide information on other websites without their permission.

We do not sell the personal information of Consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the "right to opt-in") from either the Consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age or the parent or guardian of a Consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt into the sale of personal information may opt out of future sales at any time. To exercise the right to opt out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by contacting us.

If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 (or 16) has provided us with personal information, please contact us with sufficient detail to enable us to delete that information.
