In the past 12 months, we have collected the categories of personal data (defined as “personal information” under the CCPA/CPRA) described above in our “What types of personal data do we collect?” from users of our Website. We have not collected “Sensitive Personal Information” as defined under the CPRA in the past 12 months.

We collect and use personal data for the business and commercial purposes described above in the “How do we use your personal data?” section. While we do not “sell” personal data for monetary consideration to third parties, some of our disclosures of personal data may be considered a “sale” or “share” as those terms are defined under California law. Specifically, we may allow third-party partners to collect information from your browser’s cookies, web beacons, or using similar technologies for our commercial purposes, such as analytics purposes. We do not share such information with third parties for purposes of targeted advertising.

Our Website is not marketed to or intended for visitors under age 18, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal data of minors under 16 years old who are California residents.

California residents can also designate an authorized agent to submit requests on their behalf. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity and the identity and authority of your authorized agent prior to complying with any request.

If you are a California resident and would like to exercise your legal rights under the CCPA and CPRA, including the right to “opt-out” of the sale or sharing of your personal information as described herein, please contact us at info@elizabethcconsulting.com. You have the right to not be discriminated against for exercising your consumer rights. Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under California law.

Annually, California residents may request (i) a list of categories of personal information disclosed to third parties during the immediately preceding calendar year for those third parties’ own direct marketing purposes; and (ii) a list of the categories of third parties to whom we disclosed such information. To exercise a request, please contact us at info@elizabethcconsulting.com and specify you are making a “California Shine the Light” request. We may require additional information from you to allow us to verify your identity and are only required to respond to requests once during any calendar year.
