“Third party” means a person, public authority, agency, or body other than the consumer, controller, processor, or affiliate of the processor or the controller.
We do not disclose consumer personal data to third parties. When we disclose personal data for a business purpose, we enter into a contract that describes the business purpose. The contract requires the receiver to keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except to perform the contract.
Personal data used or sold for targeted advertising or profiling
We do not use personal data for the purpose of profiling, or sell personal data for purposes of targeted advertising.

The CPA gives you these rights regarding your personal data:
Right to | Description |
Access | Whether or not a controller is processing your data and to access your personal data |
Correct | Inaccurate personal data, considering the nature of the personal data and the purposes for processing your data |
Delete | Personal data you provide, or we get that is about you |
Data portability | Get a copy of your personal data that you gave the controller in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows you to transmit the data to another controller without obstruction, where processing is automated |
Opt-Out | Processing your personal data for purposes of (i) targeted advertising, (ii) sale of personal data, or (iii) profiling to further decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you |

Authorized agents
You may have an authorized agent exercise your rights under the CPA. Your agent must show proof that you granted them power of attorney. If you have not granted them power of attorney, your authorized agent must give us a written, signed statement in which you authorize your agent to act for you.
