Depending on your state of residence, this may include your financial account information and account login credentials. Additionally, some of the personal information listed above may be considered “personal information” as defined in Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e).

Deidentified and aggregate information

We may deidentify or aggregate personal information or other data we collect and may use and disclose it for any business purpose permitted by applicable law. Once deidentified or aggregated, this data is no longer considered personal information because we cannot reasonably associate it with an identifiable person.

Usage data and sites activity

We automatically collect information in connection with the actions you take on our Sites (“Usage Data”). For example, each time you use our Sites, we automatically collect the type of web browser you use, the type of device you use, your operating system and version, your internet service provider, your IP address, the pages you view, referring and exit pages, the date and time of your visit, the number of clicks to, from, and within our Sites, and the duration of your visits to our Sites. If we can reasonably associate this information with you, we treat it as personal information under the categories of Identifiers or Internet or other electronic network information, as appropriate. If we cannot reasonably associate this information with you, we treat it as Usage Data.

Communication recordings

We may record calls and retain the content of text messages, chat transcripts, emails, and other written/electronic communications between you and us. By communicating with us, you consent to our recording and retention of communications.

3. How We Collect Information

From you

We may ask you to provide us with personal information when you communicate with us online or offline, including as part of enrollment or through events, surveys, and marketing programs. You are not required to provide us your personal information; however, if you choose not to provide the requested information, you may not be able to use some features of the Sites or Services, or we may not be able to fulfill your requested interaction. We may also capture personal information when you contact us by phone, email, or through other means.

Third-party data sources

Where permissible, we may collect personal information from third-party data sources such as contractors and technicians, utility companies, data brokers, consumer reporting agencies, marketing agencies and partners, analytics firms, other consumers, and government agencies.

Cookies and other automated tools

We and third parties use cookies (small text files placed on your computer to identify your computer and browser), log files, beacons, pixels, and other automated tools (collectively “cookies”) to collect personal information and Usage Data, track your interaction with our Sites, improve the experience of the Sites and Services, and conduct targeted advertising. Many web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent; however, certain features of our Sites may not work if you delete or disable cookies.

We use the following types of cookies:

• Strictly Necessary: These cookies are essential to operate the Sites and provide you with services you have requested.
• Functional: These cookies enable certain features or nonessential functionality on our Sites. For example, we might use these cookies to recognize you and remember your preferences or settings when you return to our Sites so we can provide you with a more personalized experience.
• Targeting Cookies: These cookies allow us and third parties to learn more about you, including your use of our Sites and other websites, and advertise products or services that might interest you as further indicated below.
• Performance Cookies: These cookies help us and third parties understand how our Sites are working and who is visiting our Sites.

Among other tools, our Sites use Google Analytics to collect and process personal information and Usage Data. Click here to learn more about how Google uses your information.

You can opt-out of certain types of cookies by using the Manage Cookies feature on our Sites.

If you arrive at our Sites by “clicking through” from another website, we and third parties may receive additional information from that website such as the terms you searched that led you to our Sites. You should review the Privacy Policy of any website from which you reached our Sites to determine what information the operator collects and how it uses such information. We may retain information about you provided to us by other websites and will use it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may associate such information with other Usage Data or personal information.

Interest-based advertising

We may work with third-party advertisers, search providers, and ad networks (“Advertisers”) to learn more about you and show you ads or other content that we believe would be relevant to you. Advertisers may collect and use information about your use of our Sites or Services as well as other websites and services. These companies may use cookies to collect and use your information. We and/or Advertisers may also append other data to the data collected by Advertisers to create an interest profile of individual users. Our Privacy Policy does not cover any use by an Advertiser of information that they may collect from you. Advertisements may be shown via our Sites or on third-party websites.

If you want to reduce the volume of interest-based advertising you receive, you can also visit the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Consumer Choice Page, Canadian DAA Opt-Out Page, and/or the Network Advertising Initiative Consumer Opt-Out Page. These websites allow you to opt-out of participating interest-based advertising networks. Opt-outs are device and browser specific; therefore, you will need to set your opt-out preferences for each device and browser. Deleting browser cookies can remove your opt-out preferences; however, these organizations may offer browser extensions that help preserve the opt-out preferences you set. Please note that opt-outs only apply to interest-based advertising. You may still receive other types of online advertising.

Information from advertisements

If you arrive at our Sites via an advertisement (e.g., banner ad), we may collect information regarding the advertisement and your interactions with it (e.g., item clicked, date, and time).

Social media features

The Sites may include social media features, such as Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter widgets. These features may collect information about your IP address and the pages you visit on our Sites as well as other personal information. A cookie may be set to ensure that a feature properly functions. Your interactions with features are governed by the privacy policies of the companies that provide them and you should review the relevant privacy policies before interacting with these features.
