We keep your Personal Information for no longer than reasonably necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected or processed. The criteria used to determine the period of time such Personal Information is retained includes the nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the Personal Information, as well as on the basis of applicable legal requirements (such as applicable statutes of limitation).

We may collect the Personal Information described above from the following sources:

Additionally, please be advised that social media platforms may also collect information from you. When you click on a social plug-in, such as Facebook’s “Like” button or X’s “tweet” button, that particular social network plugin will be activated and your browser will directly connect to that provider’s servers.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS’ RIGHTS AND HOW TO EXERCISE THEM

As described more below, subject to our ability to verify your request and limitations permitted by applicable laws, CrossVue provides California residents the privacy rights described in this section. If you are not a resident of California, you do not have the rights described below.

To submit a request to exercise your privacy rights, or to submit a request as an authorized agent, see “How to Exercise Your Consumer Privacy Rights”, below. The rights we accommodate are as follows:

1. Right to Know/Access
   You may access your PI up to twice in a 12-month period.

1. Categories of Personal Information
   You have a right to request the following:
   • The categories of PI we have collected about you.
   • The categories of sources from which we collected your PI.
   • The business purposes or commercial purposes for our collecting, selling, or sharing your PI.
   • The categories of third parties to whom we have disclosed your PI.
   • A list of the categories of PI disclosed for a business purpose and, for each, the categories of recipients, or that no disclosure occurred.
   • A list of the categories of PI Sold or Shared about you and, for each, the categories of recipients, or that no sale or sharing occurred.
2. Specific Personal Information
   You may request to confirm if we are processing your PI and, if we are, to obtain a transportable copy of your PI that we have collected and are maintaining.

2. Do Not Sell / Share
   California residents have the right to opt out of our selling their PI or sharing their PI for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising.
   
   Third-party digital businesses, including social media platforms, analytics companies, data brokers, third-party advertisers, adtech providers and other tech companies that offer digital services (“Third-Party Digital Businesses”) may associate cookies and other tracking technologies that collect PI about you on our Sites, or otherwise collect and process PI that we make available about you, including digital activity information. We understand that giving access to your PI on our Sites, or otherwise, to Third-Party Digital Businesses could be deemed a sale or sharing under the CCPA. We will not sell your PI or share your PI for cross-context behavioral advertising if you request to opt out. 
   
   Opt-out for non-cookie PI: If you want opt-out of our sale or sharing of your PI other than PI collected on our Sites by cookies and other tracking technologies, please contact us (see “How to Contact Us”, below).
   
   Opt-out for cookie PI: If you want to opt-out of our sale or sharing of your PI collected on our Sites by cookies and other tracking technologies, you need to exercise a separate opt-out request on our cookie management tool here [Link to CMP]. 
   
   You must exercise your preferences on each of our websites you visit, from each browser you use, and on each device that you use. Since your browser opt-out is designated by a cookie, if you clear or block cookies, your preferences will no longer be effective and you will need to enable them again via our cookie management tool. Beware that if you use ad blocking software, our cookie banner may not appear when you visit our services and you may have to use the link above to access the tool.
   
   Global privacy control (“GPC”): Our Sites process the GPC signal, which is a signal sent by a platform, technology, or mechanism that when enabled, communicates an individual’s choice to opt-out of the sale and sharing of Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To use the GPC, you can download an internet browser or a plugin to use on your current internet browser and follow the settings to enable the GPC. We have configured the settings of our consent management platform to receive and process GPC signals on our Sites. We process the GPC with respect to sales and sharing that may occur in the context of collection of PI by tracking technologies online and apply it to the specific browser on which you enable the GPC. We currently do not, due to technical limitations, process the GPC for opt-outs of sales and sharing in other contexts.
   
   We do not knowingly sell or share the PI of individuals under 16. If you think we may have unknowingly collected PI of a consumer under 16 years old, please contact us (see “How to Contact Us”, below).
3. Right to Delete
   You may request that we delete your PI that we have collected from you directly. 
4. Right to Correct Your PI
   You may request that we correct inaccuracies in your PI that we maintain and we will correct such PI to the extent required by the CCPA. 
5. How to Exercise Your Consumer Privacy Rights
   To submit a request to exercise your privacy rights, or to submit a request as an authorized agent, please contact us (see “How to Contact Us”, below) or call us at 1 (301)-479-5744, and respond to any follow-up inquiries we make. Please be aware that we do not accept or process requests through other means (e.g., via fax, chats, social media etc.).

1. We Must Verify Your Request
   When you request to exercise your privacy rights, we may ask you to provide verifying information, such as your name, e-mail, phone number or account information. We will review the information provided and may request additional information via e-mail or other means to ensure we are interacting with the correct individual. We will not fulfill your request unless you have provided sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the consumer about whom we collected PI. 
   
   We verify each request as follows:
   • Right to Know: We verify your request to know the categories of personal information we have collected about you by matching at least two data points you provide with data points we maintain. We verify your request to know the specific personal information we have collected about you by matching at least three data points you provide with data points we maintain, together with a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the individual whose personal information is the subject of the request. If you fail to provide the requested information, we will be unable to verify you sufficiently to honor your request. 
   • Right to Delete: We verify your request to delete personal information by matching at least two data points you provide with data points we maintain.
   • Right to Correct: We verify your request to correct personal information by matching at least two data points you provide with data points we maintain.
   • Do Not Sell/Share: No specific verification required unless we suspect fraud.
     
     If we are unable to verify you sufficiently we will be unable to honor your request. We will use personal information that you provide in connection with a request only to verify your identity or authority to make the request and to track and document request responses, unless you also gave it to us for another purpose. 

2. Agent Requests
   You may use an authorized agent to make a request for you, subject to our verification of the agent, the agent’s authority to submit requests on your behalf, and of you. You can learn how to do this by contacting us (see “How to Contact Us”, below). Once your agent’s authority is confirmed, they may exercise rights on your behalf subject to the verification requirements described above. 

Non-Discrimination/Non-Retaliation

Occasionally we may provide links to third-party websites for your convenience and information. The fact that we include links to other websites does not mean that CrossVue approves of or endorses any other third-party website or the content of that website.

These services may have their own privacy notices in place, which we strongly suggest that you review if you choose to visit any linked websites.

Tracking Technologies Generally. Regular cookies may generally be disabled or removed by tools available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some instances blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Browsers offer different functionalities and options, so you may need to set them separately. Also, tools from commercial browsers may not be effective with regard to Flash cookies (also known as locally shared objects), HTML5 cookies, or other Tracking Technologies. For information on disabling Flash cookies, go to Adobe’s website http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/disable-third-party-local-shared.html. Please be aware that if you disable or remove these technologies, some parts of the Sites may not work and that when you revisit the Sites your ability to limit browser-based Tracking Technologies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.

Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many online services, CrossVue currently does not alter CrossVue’s practices when CrossVue receives a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” you can visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com, but CrossVue is not responsible for the completeness or accuracy of this third party information. Some third parties, however, may offer you choices regarding their Tracking Technologies. One way to potentially identify cookies on our web site is to add the free Ghostery plug-in to your browser (www.ghostery.com), which according to Ghostery will display for you traditional, browser-based cookies associated with the web sites (but not mobile apps) you visit and privacy and opt-out policies and options of the parties operating those cookies. CrossVue is not responsible for the completeness or accuracy of this tool or third-party choice notices or mechanisms. For specific information on some of the choice options offered by third party analytics and advertising providers, see the next section. We may, from time-to-time, and in certain jurisdictions, offer or point you to tools that allow you to exercise certain preferences regarding cookies and other Tracking Technologies associated with the Sites, but such tools rely on third parties and third party information so we do not guaranty that the tools will provide complete and accurate information or be completely effective. For instance, here is where you can find cookie controls for popular browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Firefox
• Edge
• Safari 

We do not represent that these third-party tools, programs or statements are complete or accurate. You will need to do this on each browser that you use to access our Sites, and clearing cookies on your browser(s) may disable your preference settings. Also, our Sites may not function properly or as intended if you block all or even certain cookies. Accordingly, you may want to consider the more limited opt-out choices noted in the next section.

Analytics and Advertising Tracking Technologies. You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

You may choose whether to receive some Interest-based Advertising by submitting opt-outs. Some of the advertisers and service providers that perform advertising-related services for us and third parties may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding Interest-based Advertising, including use of Cross-device Data for serving ads, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/, and http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices for information on the DAA’s opt-out program specifically for mobile apps (including use of precise location for third party ads). Please be aware that, even if you are able to opt out of certain kinds of Interest-based Advertising, you may continue to receive other types of ads. Opting out only means that those selected members should no longer deliver certain Interest-based Advertising to you but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content or ads (e.g., from other ad networks). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit these opt-out webpages, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different device or web browser or use a non-browser-based method of access (e.g., mobile app), your DAA browser-based opt-out may not, or may no longer, be effective. CrossVue supports the ad industry’s Self-regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising (https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/ven-principles-07-01-09.pdf) and expects that ad networks CrossVue directly engages to serve you Interest-based Advertising will do so as well, though CrossVue cannot guaranty their compliance. 

In addition, we may serve ads on other online services that are targeted to reach people on those services that are also identified on one of more of our data bases. This is done by using Tracking Technologies or by matching common factors between our data bases and the data bases of the other online services. For instance, we may use such ad services offered by Meta, LinkedIn, or X and other third-party services.
