Retention periods may vary depending on legal and operational requirements.

8California Consumer Rights

Right to Data Portability

Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, where technically feasible.

Right to Opt Out of Sale/Sharing

Not currently applicable — we do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. If that changes, this Notice and our opt-out process will be updated accordingly.
