12. YOUR STATE PRIVACY RIGHTS AND ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES
Depending on the state in which you reside, you may have certain privacy rights regarding your personal data. For example, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, and other states have passed privacy laws. If you are a California resident, please see our “NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS” section below. For other state residents, your privacy rights may include (if applicable):
- The right to confirm whether or not we are processing your personal data and to access such personal data and the categories of personal data we are processing or have processed;
- The right to obtain a copy of your personal data that we collected from and/or about you in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows you to transmit the information to another controller without hindrance, where the processing is carried out by automated means;
- The right to obtain a list of specific third parties to which we have disclosed your personal data (unless we do not maintain this information in a format specific to you, in which case, we will provide a list of specific third parties to which we have disclosed any consumers’ personal data);
- The right to obtain a list of categories of third parties to which we have disclosed your personal data;
- The right to delete personal data that we collected from and/or about you, subject to certain exceptions;
- The right to correct inaccurate personal data that we maintain about you, subject to certain exceptions;
- The right, if applicable, to opt out of the processing of your personal data for purposes of (1) targeted advertising; (2) the “sale” of your personal data (as that term is defined by applicable law); and (3) profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you;
- If your personal data is profiled in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you, you have the right to question the result of the profiling, to be informed of the reason that the profiling resulted in the decision, and, if feasible, to be informed of what actions you might have taken to secure a different decision (and the actions that you might take to secure a different decision in the future).

Depending on how the applicable privacy law defines a “sale,” we may sell personal data to third parties. For instance, if you are a resident of Colorado or Connecticut, our use of cookies and tracking technologies constitutes a sale of personal data to third-party advertisers. We also use cookies and other tracking technologies to display advertisements about our products to you on non-affiliated websites, applications, and online services. This is “targeted advertising” under applicable privacy laws. We do not use personal data for profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning individuals.
